JVC RX-DP20VBK 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 this receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 11).

•Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after all connections are complete.

IMPORTANT:

Check the following before or while using the buttons and controls.

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 created by adding 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. (For example, the CD recorder or CD player on the left column.)

•To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 27.)

•Refer also to the manuals supplied for your audio components.

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