The world of single components, in which you purchase a cassette deck, CD player, amplifier and other components separately and enjoy your own composition, is an effective means for pursuit of high-quality reproduction. However, in terms of operability, the need of controlling components independently makes their control complicated and their linked operation impossible. Then, isn’t it possible to combine single components and control them as simply as an integrated audio system? The Compu Link remote control system is the response to such a requirement.

The components in the JVC EX series are equipped with jacks named COMPU LINK-3 (COMPU LINK jacks). By connecting the COMPU LINK jacks of these components, they can be controlled simply with a systematized, linked operation.
