Yamaha Clavinova CLP 260

I bought an older used Clavinova CLP 260 and want to know how to connect it to my computer sound card for recording. What cords are needed with the MIDI in / out and In L/R and Out L/R on the back? Also, is there a way to upgrade its abilities in sound options. It only has Piano, Clavinova Tone, E-Piano, Harpsicord, and Organ options.

    I am elementary with this ... but good at following instruction :o) so:



    I have 4 jacks = 2 L/R IN and 2 L/R OUT. On the front of my computer I have the Headset and the Microphone choices. Can you be more specific in what connects to what.



    Also, someone handed me something that only connects to my headset on the front of the Clavinova and would go to my sound card. This is not what I want, correct. The adapter nor the plugs fit anywhere else on the Clavinoa.

    The four jacks are on the back (pic attached)

    So you are saying once we determine what to connect on the back, then I would use the headset choice on the front of my computer?

    The jacks are on the back of the Clavinova and my headphone for the computer sound card is too large for them.

Hi...
Your L/R jacks in the back need to connect to the "line-in" connector on your sound card.
I think the jacks on the Clav are 1/4 inch. Go to Radio shack and ask for an adapter that will take two 1/4 inch plugs/cable and convert it to a 1/8 inch stereo plug.
The Midi connects From (keyboard) To (soundcard)
Cables are available at any music store

    The 4 jacks...are they on the Clav or the soundcard?
    Dont use MIC inputs for anything other than MICs (there's an extra MIC amplifier in line with it)
    Dont use headphone outputs..The signal is too big.

Hi ...
There are flexible cables that connect the keys to the main electronics. The connectors for those cables sometimes age poorly..
It is fixable. But dont "get taken" on a repair.
If it's just resoldering a few points,it shouldnt be more than $100.00

No sound on my Yamaha Clavinova CLP-311
Try these steps:

  • Perhaps inadvertently, there is a MIDI settings are changed.
    Setting LOCAL-ON must be in the ON position.
    Do this (see Figure 1):

  • Connect AUX OUT (at rear panel) to an external amplifier. If the sound is heard, the damage was CLP311 power-amp.25893993-xykdzr1cdriwl1tmr4ngy0qt-3-1.jpg

Yamaha Clavinova CLP-440
It sounds like you have a part overheating and failing, then cooling off and starting again. i would take it into the nearest Yamaha repair facility or contact your local authorized repair to come take a look before it goes out of warranty.

Our Yamaha clavinova CLP-115 is buzzing, even with
Without power to the unit no sound should be generated. Make sure there are no other connections.

MAYBE you have a wall transformer behind it that is buzzing. MANY wall transformers develop buzz.

Another source is flourescent lights and even some of the low voltage halogens have noisy transformers in the base.
