Notes:

•There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system. This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4. This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to the previous version—COMPU LINK-3.

•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.

•To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if required. (See page 24.)

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 56 and 57.

Note:

When using RF rod antenna (see page 14), it is unnecessary for aiming directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
