Automatic Source Selection (COMPU LINK-1, 3)

When the provided remote cables are used for connecting this unit to other components which have COMPU LINK-1 or 3/SYNCHRO terminals, the switch-over of all system compo- nents is possible with simple one-touch of the source selector button of JVC's amplifier or receiver.

By doing this, the corresponding component will start playing automatically.

The source select button of the remote control unit or the acti- vation button of the desired component can be also used for this purpose. When the components have been switched over, the previous component will stop playing within five seconds.

Synchronized Recording (COMPU LINK-1, 3)

Synchronized recording refers to the process in which the deck starts recording in synchronism with the CD player. Perform the synchronized recording as follows:

1.Set the cassette deck to the record-pause mode in accor- dance with the recording procedures on page 8.

2.If you want the programmed recording, program the desired tunes in any order you wish to hear.

3.Press the PLAY/PAUSE button of the CD player. By so doing, the cassette deck is placed in the record mode and synchronized with the CD player for recording. Synchronized recording thus can be made possible.

DDRP (Dynamics Detection Recording Processor) record- ing

The DDRP function makes possible fully automatic recording when used with a suitable JVC CD player. When the DDRP but- ton of a suitable JVC CD player is pressed, the recording level is first adjusted automatically, then recording starts; it is not nec- essary to start recording by the normal procedure.

Notes:

·Synchronized recording or DDRP recording stops automati- cally when the CD player stops playing.

·To cancel synchronized recording or DDRP recording, press the STOP button of the CD player or cassette deck.

·Synchronized recording does not start except when the record-

pause mode is set by simultaneously pressing the REC/REC MUTE and PAUSE buttons in the stop mode.

·The source is locked to the CD position during synchronized recording or DDRP recording to avoid accidental stops or switch-over to another component. To switch over the compo- nents, cancel synchronized recording or DDRP recording first.

·The INPUT LEVEL control does not function during DDRP recording.
