COMPU LINK

Linked Operation of the Other

Optional Components (Compu

Link)

The XM-448BK MD recorder can be controlled under linked operation provided by the

JVC’s Compu Link remote control system.

What is Compu Link

The world of single components, in which you purchase a cassette deck, CD player,

amplifier and other components separately and enjoy your own composition, is an effective

means for pursuit of high-quality reproduction. However, in terms of operability, the need

of controlling components independently makes their control complicated and their linked

operation impossible. Then, isn’t it possible to combine single component and control them

as simply as an integrated audio system? The Compu Link remote control system is the

response to such a requirement.

By connecting the COMPU LINK jacks to the components equipped with jacks named

COMPU LINK-3 (COMPU LINK jacks), they can be controlled simply with a

systematized, linked operation.

Compu Link connections

Using Compu Link cables (one cable is supplied with this unit – the cable with the

monaural min-plugs: black), connect the COMPU LINK jacks of the components. Connect

so that the Compu Link cables can bridge all of the components you have. The components

can be connected in any order.

Compu Link-3 features

The Compu Link-3 system makes the following operations possible.

Shortcut playback:

Simply selecting an input source of the receiver starts playback of the selected source

component (CD player, MD recorder or cassette deck).

Also, even if you do not touch the receiver, starting playback of a source component

sets the receiver’s input source automatically to the played component.

*Refer to the instruction manual of the receiver.

A single remote control unit:

The remote control unit provided with the receiver can also be used to control the CD

player, MD recorder, or cassette deck.

Synchronized recording:

Recording can be started automatically in synchronism with the start of playback of a

source component.

Timer operation:

The timer function built into the receiver can be used to start recording or playback of

other components at the reserved time of the day or switch the power to the Standby

mode in the reserved time period.

*Refer to the instruction manual of the receiver.
