Basic Operation

Connections

Connecting a personal computer

You can connect the [TO HOST], MIDI [IN][OUT][THRU], or [USB] connector of the Clavinova to your 
personal computer and enjoy using the Clavinova in conjunction with musical software on your computer.

There are the three methods by which to connect the Clavinova to a personal computer:

1. Connecting the serial port on the computer to the Clavinova’s TO HOST jack (page 64)
2. Using a MIDI interface and the Clavinova’s MIDI connectors (page 66)
3. Connecting the USB port on the computer to the Clavinova’s USB jack (page 67)

For more information, refer to the following pages.

When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer 
before connecting any cables and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After making connections and switch settings, turn 
on the power to the computer first, then to the Clavinova.

If you are not using the connection between the Clavinova and your computer, you must disconnect the cable from the 
[TO HOST] jack or [USB] jack. The Clavinova may not operate correctly if a cable is left connected.

The connectors that can be used will depend on the setting of the HOST SELECT switch.
