Basic Operation
5 AUX IN [L/L+R], [R] jacks
The stereo outputs from another instrument can be connected to these jacks, allowing
the sound of an external instrument to be reproduced via the Clavinova’s speakers. Refer
to the diagram below and use audio cables for connection.
CAUTION
When the Clavinova’s AUX IN jacks are connected to an external device, first turn on the power to
the external device, then to the Clavinova. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
6 AUX OUT [L/L+R] [R] jacks
These jacks let you connect the Clavinova to external powered speaker systems, for
playing in larger venues at higher volumes.
CAUTION
When the Clavinova’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external system, first turn on the power to
the Clavinova, then to the external system. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
The Clavinova’s [MASTER VOLUME] setting will affect the sound that is output from
AUX OUT jacks. When the Clavinova’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external
speaker and you want to turn off the speaker sound of the Clavinova, switch the speaker
off (page 99). Moreover, the tone quality of the instrument sound output from the
speakers and the headphones changes automatically to the appropriate settings according
to how the instrument is being used (see chart below).
The Clavinova’s [MASTER
VOLUME] dial setting affects the
input signal from the AUX IN jacks,
but the [REVERB], [CHORUS], and
BRILLIANCE [MELLOW] [BRIGHT]
(page 25) settings do not.
If you connect the Clavinova to a
monaural device, use only the AUX
IN [L/L+R] jack.
Use audio cables and adaptor
plugs with no resistance.
