Clavinova USB cable NEC MultiSync PC-9821 AS NEC About the USB driver You must install the specified USB driver (YAMAHA USB MIDI Driver) to your computer before you can transfer data between the computer and the CVP-206/ 204. You can download a copy of the YAMAHA USB MIDI Driver free of charge from the XG Library on the Yamaha Web site (http://www.yamaha-xg.com). CAUTION If you are using a USB cable to connect the Clavinova to your computer, you must connect the USB cable before turning on the power of the instrument. Also, do not turn the power of the Clavinova on or off while any application software that uses USB or MIDI is running. If you turn the power of the Clavinova on/off or connect/disconnect the USB cable in the following states, problems will occur in the computer system, possibly causing it to "freeze" (hang up), or causing the Clavinova to stop functioning. • While installing the driver. • While starting or shutting down the operating system. • While the computer is in an energy-save or sleep mode. • When a MIDI application program is starting. Make sure NOT to perform any of the following operations. Otherwise, the computer may lock up or the Clavinova functions may be disabled. • Turning the power on/off, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. • Shifting to energy-save or sleep mode while MIDI data is being transferred, or returning from sleep mode. • Disconnecting/connecting the cable while the Clavinova is on. • Turning the power of the Clavinova on/off, starting up your com- puter, or installing the driver while a large amount of data is being transferred. Using the MIDI terminals When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the CVP-206/204 with standard MIDI cables. When connecting the Clavinova to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the Clavinova and the computer before connecting any cables. After making the proper connections and settings, turn on the power of the computer first, then that of the Clavinova. • When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal computer to the MIDI IN terminal.

For details, refer to the owner's manual for the particular software you are using. • The Clavinova will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made. • When using a USB cable to connect the Clavinova to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub. • Depending on the state of your computer, the operating state of the Clavinova may become unstable. Do not use your computer in a way that causes it to enter an unstable state. 150 CVP-206/204
