BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
COMPU LINK connection
JVC’s COMPU LINK Remote Control System provides unified control
over system components connected with COMPU LINK. Connecting
JVC audio components with the COMPU LINK jacks automatically
controlsrelativeoperationsbetweencomponentsand facilitatesvarious
operations. With the COMPU LINK connection to an amplifier or re-
ceiver, you can operate XL-FZ258BK/XL-FZ158BK with the amplifier or
receiver’s remote control unit. Synchronized recording is also available
with this feature.
Connecting the COMPU LINK cord
The COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO jacks are used to output and input the
control signal for the COMPU LINK remote control system.
COMPU LINK-compatible products are provided with the jacks marked
COMPU LINK-1, COMPU LINK-2 or COMPU LINK-3, referring to the
COMPU LINK version. XL-FZ258BK/XL-FZ158BK is equipped with
COMPU LINK-3. You can connect XL-FZ258BK/XL-FZ158BK also to a
component with lower COMPU LINK versions. But, in that case, only the
lower versions’ features will be available.
Plug thesupplied COMPULINKcord intotheCOMPULINK-3SYNCHRO
jack on the rear panel of XL-FZ258BK/XL-FZ158BK. Plug the other end
into the COMPU LINK jack of the other component. If there are two
COMPU LINK jacks, plug it into either of them.

Care and handling
Maintenance of discs
How to handle CDs
When there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe the
disc with a soft, dry cloth with a movement going from the center
outwards.
If difficult to clean, wipe the disc with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
When handling compact discs, do not touch the surface of the disc (re-
flective silver side — the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If
the disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such discs may cause the CD
player to malfunction.
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on
the surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on
top of another without their protective cases, they can be damaged.
Do not put discs in any location where they can be exposed to direct
sunlight, or in any place where humidity or temperature is high. Avoid
leaving discs in your car!
