Compu Link Remote Control System - JVC RX-8040B Instructions Manual

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC's audio components through the remote sensor on
the receiver.
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC's audio
components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks (see
below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin
plugs (see pages 10 and 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.
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 added 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.
• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if
required. (See page 24.)
• Refer also to the manuals supplied for your audio components.
IMPORTANT:
Check the following before or while using the buttons and controls.
For Zone 1 operations:
The ZONE 1 indicator lights up on the unit's display.
For Zone 2 operations:
The ZONE 2 indicator lights up on the unit's display.
• When using the unit:
– For Zone 1 operations: "ZONE2" is not shown in the unit's main
display.
– For Zone 2 operations: "ZONE2" is shown in the unit's main
display.
• When using the remote control:
When operating the receiver using the remote control, the
unit's display always shows the Zone 1 source information
though you are operating it for the Zone 2 source.
– Set the ZONE 1/ZONE 2 selector to ZONE 1 or ZONE 2 correctly.
– Check the indication shown on the remote's display when you
press a button—this indicates the remote control operation mode
together with multi-room operation mode (either for ZONE 1 or
ZONE 2) for about two hours.
