Owner’s Manual

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 (refer to the included “Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide”).

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.

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.

Driver:
A driver is software that provides 
a data-transfer interface between 
the computer’s operating system 
and a connected hardware 
device. You need to install a USB 
MIDI driver to connect the com-
puter and the instrument.

• The instrument will begin trans-

mission a short time after the 
USB connection is made.

• When using a USB cable to 

connect the instrument to your 
computer, make the connec-
tion directly without passing 
through a USB hub.

• For information on setting up 

your sequence software, refer 
to the owner’s manual of the 
relevant software.

When connecting the computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal, make sure to observe the 
following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing the 
data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart the application software or the com-
puter OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then on again.

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3 meters.

• Before connecting the computer to the USB [TO HOST] terminal, exit from any power-sav-

ing mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby).

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB [TO 

HOST] terminal.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/

unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB [TO HOST] terminal.

- Quit any open application software on the computer.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted 

only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or 

more between these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on 
again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
