INTRODUCTION

Precautions

Load compact discs only
Never insert anything other than compact discs into any part of the player.
If a problem persists
If something goes wrong, turn off the power immediately. If the same problem reoccurs when the power is turned on once more, turn off the power again and consult your JVC dealer.
Handling the power cord
When unplugging from the wall socket, always pull the plug body, never the power cable.
Volume settings
A CD player has almost zero background noise. Because of this, the technique of listening to the background level and then setting the volume before the music starts, as used with analog turntables or tape decks, cannot be used. If you raise the volume level too high, speaker damage may result.
Condensation
The CD player uses optical components. If it is moved from a cold location to a warm one, or is used in a room subject to excessive humidity or where a fire has just been lit, condensation could form on the optical components. This may prevent the laser beam from being properly transmitted and thus causes noise or even a malfunction. If condensation has formed and the CD player does not function correctly, we recommend that you leave it turned on for an hour or two. If at the end of this time the CD player still does not function properly, please consult your JVC dealer.
Transporting the unit
When carrying this unit, it is best to avoid either tilting it or turning it upside-down. Where you cannot avoid doing so, please remove the discs first.

This part describes where to place the unit for best results, how to install batteries in the remote control unit and how to connect this unit to the amplifier/receiver and other components.
The third part, “BASIC OPERATIONS”, describes how to load discs, and convenient basic functions for playing discs.
The fourth part, “VARIOUS PLAYBACK PATTERNS”, describes vari­ous functions for playing discs, and convenient functions for record­ing.

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 controls relative operations between components and facilitates various operations. With the COMPU LINK connection to an amplifier or re­ceiver, 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 the supplied COMPU LINK cord into the COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO 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.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Connect to the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack of another compo­nent eqipped with the Compu Link remote control system.

COMPU LINK remote control system

The COMPU LINK Remote Control System controls relative operations between components automatically and facilitates various operations.
This is a system originated and developed by JVC for facilitating various system operations. The following is a brief explanation of this system:
Automatic source selection
When the supplied COMPU LINK cord is utilized to connect this unit to others equipped with COMPU LINK jacks, switching-in of each system component can be performed with a single touch on the source selector button located on a JVC amplifier or receiver. When selection is carried out in this manner, the corresponding unit will automatically start operation. Upon pressing of the play button, the source selector of the amplifier or receiver changes automatically. When a new unit is switched in, the previously selected component stops operation within five seconds.
Synchronized recording
Synchronized recording refers to the process in which a JVC cassette deck starts recording, synchronized with this unit. Synchronized recording is carried out as follows:
1. Set the cassette deck to the recording pause mode in accordance with its instructions.
2. To record only certain tracks, program the tracks in any order, as desired.
3. Press the 3 PLAY/8 PAUSE button on the front panel of this unit. The cassette deck automatically starts recording, synchronized with this unit.

Care and handling

How to handle CDs
When handling compact discs, do not touch the surface of the disc (re­flective 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.
Maintenance of discs
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.
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!
