For example, the outputs of the synthesizer/tone generator can be to the Clavinova AUX IN jacks, allowing the sound of the synthesizer/tone generator to be reproduced via the Clavinova's internal amplifier and speaker system. NOTE • The input signal from the AUX IN jacks is delivered to the AUX OUT jacks, but is not affected by the Clavinova's volume control or reverb effect. The AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the Clavinova for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the Clavinova to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/ L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don't lose any of the Clavinova's sound. The Internal Amplifier & Speaker System The CLP-156 features a powerful stereo amplifier delivering 30 watts per channel, driving a speaker system that puts out exceptionally rich sound with natural response from powerful lows to shimmering highs. The speaker system features a bass-reflex type enclosure with two 13-centimeter and two 5-centimeter speaker units. NOTE • The AUX OUT jack signal must never be returned to the AUX IN jacks, either directly or through external equipment. The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer, sequencer, music computer, etc.) which can be used to control the Clavinova. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing "chaining" of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the Clavinova (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the Clavinova keyboard). More details on MIDI are given in "MIDI Functions" on page 30. Two pairs of standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks. 6
