COMPU LINK Function
What is COMPU LINK?

The COMPU LINK remote control system (or, simply, “COMPU LINK”) serves to enable the kind of simple operations provided by an inte-
grated system to be performed even though this unit is a separate component.
These simple operations can be performed by connecting the COMPU LINK-4 SYNCHRO, COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO or COMPU LINK-
1 SYNCHRO connector on each of the components involved.

some additional functions as well. Notes
• The type of interactive operation described above requires that
your JVC amplifier/receiver feature COMPU LINK-4, or it will
not be compatible with this unit (the CDR will not be recog-
nized by previous COMPU LINK versions). When your JVC
amplifier/receiver does not feature COMPU LINK-4, set the
COMPU LINK MODE switch on the rear panel of this unit to
“TD”, and make connections to the tape deck connectors on the
amplifier/receiver. Doing this enables you to use this unit with
the COMPU LINK functions, however, COMPU LINK control
of a cassette deck will no longer be possible.
• Synchro recording using the compu link is not compatible with
this unit.

Restriction on Copying Digital Material
English
Due to copyright and other considerations, the following restriction
is now in place for CD-R and CD onto which the digital signals of
CDs have been copied.
SCMS (Serial Copy

Management System)
The digital quality of CDs and other digital media can be recorded
to CD-R and CD-RW using the CDR function of this unit. How-
ever, it is not possible to make a second generation digital copy
from a first generation copy. This restriction, known as SCMS
(Serial Copy Management System), is intended to prevent unlim-
ited digital copying in the interests of artists and other copyright
holders.
This unit is designed to comply with SCMS restrictions.

The copyright laws allow recordings to be made for the personal

enjoyment of the individual user but they do not allow such record-
ings to be used for other any purposes without permission from the
holder of the copyrights.
Note
• If digital recording of a first generation digital copy is
attempted, “SCMS PROTECT” appears in the display window,
and the recording operation is canceled.
• In the case of Synchronized Recording, Listening Edit Record-

• If something important is going to be recorded, always test-record first to check that the recording turns out properly before proceeding
with the actual recording.
