Connecting A Personal Computer - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-175 Owner's Manual

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.
"The Clavinova-Computer Connection," is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners,
what you can do with your Clavinova and a personal computer and how to set up a Clavinova-Computer
system (the manual is not written for any specific models). The document is available as a PDF file (in
English) at the following Internet address:

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