Connecting a Personal Computer

By connecting a computer to the Clavinova's USB [TO HOST] terminal, you can transfer data
between the instrument and the computer via MIDI. To do this, install the USB MIDI driver and
Musicsoft Downloader software from the included CD-ROM.
CAUTION
When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavi-
nova and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the
power to the computer first, then to the Clavinova.
CAUTION
If you are not using the connection between the Clavinova and your computer, you must discon-
nect the cable from the USB [TO HOST] terminal. The Clavinova may not operate correctly if a
cable is left connected.
Use a USB cable to connect the USB port on your computer to the USB [TO HOST]
terminal on the Clavinova.
