PRECAUTIONS
SETTING UP
Installation
Connecting the unit
• Select the best location
This compact disc changer/player needs to be connected to an
amplifier/receiver for audio reproduction.
Select a level location to install this component, where it is free
from extremes of temperature (5 to 35°C, or 41 to 95°F) and
humidity, dust, or vibration.
If noise interference is caused in receiving AM broadcast by a
tuner/receiver located nearby, relocate it or this component, or
turn off either one.
CAUTION
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other neces-
sary connections have been made.
1. First connect the OUTPUT ports in the back of this unit with
the CD or AUX input ports of the amplifier/receiver using the
accessory audio cord. Be sure to insert the audio cord jacks
firmly into the proper ports matching the output and input
channels — RIGHT to RIGHT and LEFT to LEFT.
• Moving the unit
Before moving the unit, first remove all the discs. Turn the power
off, making sure the standby indicator is on. Then remove the
AC power cord from the AC outlet.
Compact discs
• Use only compact digital audio discs
Only the audio compact discs identified by
the logo shown below can be used with this
Audio cord

Operation
• Keep the disc storage free of obstacles
2. If you are connecting the unit to a JVC audio component and
using the CompuLink-3 remote control system, connect the units
with the accessory CompuLink cord. Either one of the
COMPULINK-3 (SYNCHRO) ports in the back of this unit
can be used.
Do not put anything other than discs in slots of the disc storage.
• Turn the power off if a problem occurs
If an unusual condition arises, turn the power off immediately. If
the condition persists whenever the power is turned on, consult
your JVC dealer.

(SYNCHRO)
• Do not pull the AC cord
LEFT
Do not pull the cable when unplugging the AC cord from the
wall socket or this component — hold and pull the plug body.
RIGHT
• Set the sound volume carefully
To CompuLink jack
Be careful in setting the sound volume on your amplifier/receiver
when playing a CD, which has almost none of background noise
unlike analog records and tapes. Find out the right setting starting
with a low level setting. Setting the level too high and starting a
CD could damage the speakers.
When you use the system, you can remote-control this CD unit
from the connected JVC amplifier/receiver. (See Page 11 for
more information.)
• Protect the component against condensation
Condensation on the component could disrupt the proper
transmission of the disc-reading laser beam, causing noise or
malfunction. If condensation ever ensues due to excessive
humidity or sudden temperature change, leave the component
turned on for a couple of hours to dry up — consult your JVC
dealer if this does not correct the condition.
NOTE: JVC components equipped with two COMPULINK-3
(SYNCHRO) ports can be connected in series; a com-
ponent with only one port may be connected at the
end of the series.
2
3. Connect the accessory AC power cord into the socket in the
back of this unit. Then insert the cord plugs into an AC outlet.
(Do not connect the power cord to a switched AC outlet of a
component if the CompuLink system is used.)
Installing batteries in the remote
control
1. There is a cover for the
battery compartment on
the back of the remote
control. Press the cover
down and slide it downward
to remove it.
AC POWER CORD
2. Set the two accessory
batteries (1.5V, R6P, AA) in
the compartment with their
polarities in proper positions.
AC power cord
Wall outlet
3. Place the cover over the
compartment, press it
down, and slide it upward
so that it firmly covers the
compartment.
CAUTION
• Install the batteries with their polarities correctly set.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not
going to be used for an extended period of time.
• Do not expose the remote control to heat, flame, or
direct sunlight.
Replacing the batteries
The service life of batteries normally lasts for about one year though
it is dependent on the use of the remote control (it is shortened in
low temperatures, too). Replace the batteries any time if the
controllable range is reduced (max. range: 7 meters or 23 feet and
30 degrees away from the component).
CAUTION
• Be sure to replace them with the correct batteries (1.5V,
R6P, AA).
• Do not use new and old batteries in combination.

system, links JVC audio components to establish systematized
operation control of the linked components.
Playing the program repeatedly
To repeat playback according to the program, press the REPEAT
button, and select and show “REPEAT” on the display. Then start
playing, which will be repeated until stopped.
NOTE: There are three versions of the CompuLink system:
CompuLink-1, -2, and -3. Although they are basically
compatible, some functions may not be available with
the older versions (refer to the instructions manual of
the component for the information).
This function can be used in the basic PROGRAM mode as well as
when the RANDOM function is effective.

indication from the display during stop.
The CompuLink-3 Remote Control System provides the following
functions:

repeatedly
Automatic power on/off
Turning a linked component on or off will automatically turn the
amplifier/receiver on or off.
Selecting a source on the amplifier/receiver will turn on the relevant
component.
To repeatedly play a specific program step, select the step using
or
buttons during playback, press the REPEAT button
twice and show “REPEAT 1” on the display. The selected step is
played back repeatedly.
CAUTION
This function can be used in the basic PROGRAM mode as well as
when the RANDOM function is effective.
Press the REPEAT button once to cancel the function, clearing the
indication from the display.
• Be sure to use the accessory CompuLink cable for the
connection.
• The operation may be disrupted if the power supply to a
component is interrupted, in which case turn off all linked
components and turn them on again.
Automatic source selection
Selecting a source on the connected amplifier/receiver will
automatically turn on the relevant component and start its operation.
Starting a linked component will automatically select the relevant
source on the amplifier/receiver.
Synchronized recording
This function is effective when a JVC cassette deck is linked in the
CompuLink system, allowing simple, synchronized recording.
NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual of your cassette deck
for the detail of the synchronized recording.
Some functions are disabled in order to prevent the
recording trouble during the synchronized recording.
