Notes on USB MIDI Usage

When both MIDI jacks and the USB port are connected simultaneously, the USB port has priority.
When connecting a USB cable to the CP209/179 digital piano, first connect the USB cable and then turn the
CP209/179 digital piano power on.
When connecting the CP209/179 digital piano to a computer via the USB port, there may be a short delay
before MIDI communications begin.
If the CP209/179 digital piano is connected to the computer via a USB hub and the USB communication becomes
unreliable/unstable, please connect the USB cable directly to the USB port of the computer.
Turning on/off the power of the CP209/179 digital piano while connected via USB, or disconnecting the USB
cable suddenly, may cause computer instability in the following situations:
while installing the USB driver
while starting up the computer
while MIDI applications are performing tasks
while the CP209/179 digital piano is communicating with the computer
while the computer is in energy saver mode
If there are any further problems experienced with USB communication while the CP209/179 digital piano is
connected, please consult the documentation provided with your computer and double-check all connections and
relevant operating system settings.
