Although the Clavinova is a self-contained musical instrument that simply be
plugged into the AC mains outlet and played, it also features a number of connec-
tors for system expansion.
The Connectors
●
AUX IN L/L+R and R Jacks ....................................................................................................................
These jacks are intended primarily for use with external synthesizers or tone
generator modules.
For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the
Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to
be reproduced via the Clavinova’s internal amplifier and speaker system. For mon-
aural signal input (when the connected device is monaural), use only the L/L+R
jack.

AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks ................................................................................................................
The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for con-
nection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equip-
ment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use
only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left-
and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you
don’t lose any of the Clavinova’s sound.
CAUTION
• The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either
directly or through external equipment.

MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................................................................................................
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device
(such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to con-
trol the Clavinova. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova key-
board).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.

NOTES
• The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is
not affected by the Clavinova’s volume control or reverb effect.
