COMPU LINK Remote Control System
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote
sensor on the receiver.
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through
the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections
using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 9) (and a digital cable if you want — see
page 12).
•
Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are unplugged before
connection. Plug the AC power cords only after all connections are complete.
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver
You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the
receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor
on the receiver. For details, see pages 63 and 64.
Automatic Source Selection
When you press the play ( 3 3 3 3 3) button on a connected component or on its own remote
control, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to the component.
On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or the remote control, the
selected component begins playing immediately.
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few
seconds.
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with the COMPU
LINK-3 connection
Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along
with the receiver.
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) will
turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.
When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder)
will turn off (standby).
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as
soon as a CD or a record begins playing.
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the MD recorder), and a disc in the
CD player (or a record on the turntable).
2. Press the record ( ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶) button and the pause (8 8 8 8 8) button on the cassette deck (or
MD recorder) at the same time.
This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recording pause.
If you do not press the record (
¶) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the
synchronized recording feature will not operate.
3. Press the play (
3 3 3 3 3) button on the CD player or on the turntable.
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or
MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD
recorder) enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.
Notes:
• If your audio component has
two COMPU LINK-3
(SYNCHRO) jacks, you can
use either one. If it has only
one COMPU LINK-3
(SYNCHRO) jack, connect it
so that it is the last item in the
series of components. (For
example, the turntable or CD
player in the diagram to the
left.)
• To operate the cassette deck
or MD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control
system, set the source name
correctly. (See page 18.)
• Refer also to the manuals
supplied with your audio
components.
Notes:
• During synchronized
recording, the selected source
cannot be changed.
• If your CD player is playing in
program mode, a 4-second
blank is recorded between
tracks so that the music scan
feature of your cassette deck
can be used on the recorded
tape.
• If the power of any component
is shut off during synchronized
recording, the COMPU LINK
remote control system may
not operate properly. In this
case, you must start again
from the beginning.
