PRECAUTIONS SETTING UP
Installation
• Select the best location
Select a level location to install this unit, 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 when receiving AM broadcast by
a tuner/receiver located nearby , relocate it or this unit, or turn off
either one.
• Moving the unit
Before moving the unit, first remove all 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 audio compact discs identified by the
logo on the right can be played back with the
unit.
Also the unit can display the text information
in CD text discs identified by the logo on the
right.
'
Connecting the unit
This compact disc changer/player needs to be connected to an
amplifier/receiver for audio reproduction.
CAUTION
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other necessary connections have been made.
1. Audio connection
Connect the analog (OUTPUT) ports on the back of this unit
with the CD or AUX input ports of the amplifier/receiver using
the supplied audio cords (red and white).
Audio cord

Operation
• Place only discs in the disc storage
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.
• Do not pull the AC cord
Do not pull the cable when unplugging the AC cord from the AC
outlet or this component — hold and pull the plug body.
• Set the sound volume carefully
Be careful in setting the sound volume on your amplifier/receiver
when playing a CD, which has almost no background noise unlike
analog records and tapes. Find the right setting by starting with a
low level setting. Setting the level too high and then playing a
CD could damage the speakers.
• Protect the unit against condensation
Condensation on the unit could disrupt the proper transmission
of the disc-reading laser beam, causing noise or malfunction. If
condensation occurs due to excessive humidity or sudden
temperature change, leave the unit turned on for a couple of hours
to dry — consult your JVC dealer if this does not correct the
condition.
If your audio unit has a digital optical input, you may connect
the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) port on the back of this unit to it
using the optional digital cord.

Replacing the batteries
The service life of batteries normally lasts for about one year though
it depends on the use of the remote control (and is shorter at 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 unit).
CAUTION
• Be sure to replace them with the correct batteries
(R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)).
• Do not use a combination of new and old batteries.

TEXT COMPU LINK
COMPU LINK-3 REMOTE
SYSTEM
Using the XL-MC334BK with JVC’s amplifier/receiver and/or MD
recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control
system offers the following advantages.
With JVC’s amplifier/receiver
• Information display on the TV monitor
By connecting the amplifier/receiver to the TV monitor , you can
see the disc or User file information, or the search result at once
on the TV monitor.
• Entering characters easily
By connecting the amplifier/receiver to the TV monitor , you can
enter the Title information easily using the TV monitor.
With JVC’s MD Recorder
• Copying the disc information to MD
You can copy the track title information of a CD text disc to an
MD together with the audio by using the Synchro recording
functions.
NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier/receiver
or MD recorder for the details on how to use the TEXT
COMPU LINK.
CONTROL SYSTEM
The COMPU LINK system, which is a remote control system
developed by JVC, links JVC audio components to establish
systematized operation control of the linked components.
NOTE: There are three versions of the COMPU LINK sys-
tem: COMPU LINK-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).
The COMPU LINK-3 Remote Control System provides the
following functions:
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.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the accessory COMPU LINK 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
COMPU LINK system, allowing simple, synchronized recording.
NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual of your cassette deck
for details of the synchronized recording.
Some functions are disabled in order to prevent recording troubles during synchronized recording.

HANDLING AND
SPECIFICATIONS &
TAKING CARE OF DISCS
Handling compact discs
Protect the disc from being scratched, warped, or damaged in any
way — the plastic disc can easily be damaged and the damaged
disc disrupts sound reproduction and operation of the player.
Keep every disc in its case
Be sure to keep every disc in its case whenever it is taken out of the
player. Placing one disc upon another without putting them in their
cases could cause damage.
Keep the label side clean
Do not attempt to put adhesive tape or paper nor write anything
even on the label side of a disc.
Cleaning compact discs
If the underside of a disc is soiled with fingerprints, etc., use a
piece of soft, dry cloth and wipe clean the surface from the inside
to the outside in straight strokes. If that does not clean the surface,
