Displaying the Disc Information on the TV screen

Disc information such as its performer and disc title (and track titles only when a CD Text is selected) is shown on the TV screen.

Disc Search: Only for CD Player

This remote control system allows you to search for discs by the performer, disc title, and music genre.

With this disc search, you can easily find the disc you want to play.

Disc Title Input

If your CD player or MD recorder has the disc memory function, you can input the following information about the normal audio CDs or MDs on the TV screen.

•For CDs: Performer, disc title, and music genre

•For MDs: Disc title and song titles

*What is a CD Text?

In a CD Text, some information about the disc (its disc title, performer, composer, arranger, etc.) is recorded.

Notes:

•If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the CD player in the diagram on the left column.)

•If your audio component has two TEXT COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one TEXT COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the CD player in the diagram on the left column.)

•“TEXT COMPULINK SOURCE NOT CONNECTED” appears on the display in the following cases:

–When the connections explained on the left are not correctly done.

–When you try to use the TEXT COMPU LINK function a few seconds after you turn on the connected equipment. This is not a malfunction of the units.

•Refer also to the manuals supplied with your CD player or MD recorder.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn on the receiver before turning on the other components after connecting the components, the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system does not work correctly.

If this happens:

1.Turn off all the components including this receiver.

2.Turn on the connected components.

3.Turn on this receiver.
