*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-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 CD player in the diagram to the left.)

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 to the left.)

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

When the connections explained to 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:

Set the Master/Slave Selector on the rear to “1(MASTER UNIT).”

“2(SLAVE UNIT)” is just for the serviceman’s use. The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system does not function with the selector set to “2(SLAVE UNIT).”
