About the USB connector
• In order to use MIDI on your computer, you will need application software that is appropriate for your
computer and that meets your needs.
• If you want to use a USB cable to connect the Clavinova to your computer, you must connect the USB
cable before turning on the power of the Clavinova.
Also, do not turn the power of the Clavinova on or off while application software that uses USB MIDI is
running.
• The Clavinova will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made.
• When using a USB cable to connect the Clavinova to your computer, make the connection directly
without passing through a USB hub.
• Depending on the state of your computer, the operating state of the Clavinova may become unstable.
Do not use your computer in a way that causes it to enter an unstable state.
CAUTION
• If you turn the power of the Clavinova on/off or connect/disconnect the USB cable in the following
states, problems will occur in the computer system, possibly causing it to “freeze” (hang up), or causing
the Clavinova to stop functioning.
- While installing the driver
- While starting-up or shutting-down the operating system
- While your computer is suspended (sleeping)
- While a MIDI application is running
• Performing the following actions may cause your computer to hang up or the Clavinova to stop func-
tioning.
- Rapidly turning the power on/off or connecting/disconnecting the cable
- Shifting to power-conservation (sleep) mode while MIDI data is being transferred, or returning from
sleep mode
- Connecting/disconnecting the cable while the power of the Clavinova is on
