JVC RX-554VBK manual Compu Link Remote Control System, Automatic Source Selection

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 with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied with those components):

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

CD player Cassette deck

Turntable

This remote control system allows you to use the four functions listed below.

Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver

You can control JVC 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 page 34.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play (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 (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)

Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck 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 will turn off.

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD (or a record) begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable).

2Press the record (¦) button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck into recording pause.

If you do not press the record (¦) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the synchronized recording will not start.

3Press the play (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 starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

•Without connecting the audio components with RCA pin plugs as described on page 8, the COMPU LINK remote control system cannot operate the components.

•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.
