Precautions

Features

Thank you for purchasing this JVC product. Please read these instructions through carefully before starting operation to ensure that you will derive the optim um performance and a long servi ce life from your unit.

Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards and damage

1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER (for Canada and U.S.A.)/ (for other countries) button is set at STANDBY. To save power and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used f or an extended period of tim e , di sc onnect the power co r ds f r om the hou s eh old AC outlet. (See page 10)

2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3) To unplug the power cord from the household AC outlet, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the plug free rather than pulling the cord.

4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected wire or a contact failure, consul t your dealer.

5) Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull o r twis t it.

6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.

7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and do not touch any of the par ts inside the unit.

8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.

9) Unplug the power cord during electrical storms.

10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and consult your dealer.

11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

Installation

1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier. This is to

prevent the humming caused by the unit’s proximity to some types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected by the amplifier.

2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will exceed 35 °C (namely, in direct sunlight , near a hea ting appl iance, etc.) or dro p below 5 °C, where it is very humid or dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.

3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0 °C) to a warm place since condensation may form inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for about couple of hours, after which tim e it should function properly .

Disc care

• Storing CDs

• Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.

• Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance or any other location which is susceptible to high temperatures.

• If cellophane tape , an adhesive sticker or som e other form of glue is present on the label side, c lean it off before use.

• Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.

• Do not bend CDs.

• Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or other shape, because their shape does not match the shape of the CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.

Cleaning the cabinet

Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit’s surface finish.

3 Start playing the source component

When performing synchronized recording of a digital source

• Recording is started based on the digital signal.

• Track marking is based on track information recorded in the digital signal. (C D, MD, DAT only.) For other digit al sources, track marking is based on spaces of silence.

When recording external sources

• Synchronized recording (o ther that synchronized start recording) cannot be used t o record an external sourc e (connected to DIGITAL IN OPTICAL or LINE IN (REC)). During synchronized recordin g, th is un it is put in record p ause after the e nd of each recorded track, and adjusts the blan k between tracks to be uniform. Because this unit is no t capable of pre dicting o r adjusting the blank between the source tracks i n the input signal, the blank between tracks that are recorded will be identical to those of the source.

• Normally, manual recording is recommended for recording an external source (connected to DIGITAL IN OPTICAL or LINE IN (REC)). Even if synchronized start recording is used, recording will continue until there is no remaining time left on the CD being recorded*. For th is reason, when recording an external source, be sure to press CDR CONTROL 7 to stop recording or CDR CONTROL 8 to put this unit in record pause mode when the source you are recording is finished.

* When an MD player is conne cted to DIGITAL IN OPTICAL,

this unit is put in record pause when MD playback is stopped or paused.

Notes

• Please note that if “AUTO TRACK” is set to “AUTO TR ON”, track numbers are automatically assigned even with external sources.

• When the external source is a CD, MD or DAT player connected to the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL connector on this unit, this unit can automatically start and stop recording if a single track is recorded. For more information, see “Settin g Up Synchronized Recording for External Digital Sources” on page 31.

CAUTION

When performing synchro ni zed start recording of an external component, there is a chance that a section at the beginning of the source signal will not be rec orded. When this occurs, please perform manual recording.

When performing synchronized recording of an analog source

• Recording is started when th e unit detects an audio signal.

• Track marking is based on spaces of silence which the unit interprets to be track breaks. If automatic track marking has been turned off, manual track marking is necessary.

• Even after a CD-RW has been ﬁnalized, further recording and editing is still possible if the TOC information on the disc is erased using the UNFINALIZE function. (See page 30.)

• When an unﬁnalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded in the CDR and the EJECT 0 button is pressed to open the CDR disc tray, “FINALIZE?” appears in the display window. When this is the case, skip step 1 on this page.

Press FINALIZE on the main unit (or press

SYNCHRO/FINALIZE on the remote control while holding down SHIFT) again to start the ﬁnalization.

• The length of time that this process requires is about 2 minutes. During the procedure, the length of the level meter is used to indicate approximately how much time is remaining until ﬁnalization is complete.

• The 3-CD changer of this unit is compatible with ﬁnalized CDRW, however, not all CD players can play back CD-RW even after they have been ﬁnalized.

• During the ﬁnalization process, it will not be possible to remove or load discs in the 3-CD changer, nor is playback of CDs loaded in the 3-CD changer possible.

Digital Recording

* known as Sampling Rate Converter.

The FS converter of this unit allows it to convert the digital signals of sources with sampling frequ encies other than 44.1 kHz to the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz necessary for it to be recorded to a CD-R or CD-RW. When the FS converter is set to “OFF”, the FS converter is bypassed when the digit al signal o f the source has a sampli ng frequency of 44.1 kHz (even if the FS converter is set to “OFF”, the FS converter cannot be bypassed for digital signals with sampling frequencies other than 44.1 kHz) and it automatically turns ON if high-speed recording (DUB-SPEED 2X) from 3CD is started.To record by bypassing the FS converter, use “DUB-SPEED 1X” recording. With this setting, the pure digital signal is preserved. When recording specially enco ded discs such as dts

, etc., be sure to use the following set this CONVERTER to

“OFF” (see step 4) and DUB-SPEED to “1X” (see step 5 on page

23). When the FS converter is set to “ON”, the FS converter functions even when the sampling frequency of the digital signal is 44.1 kHz. The obvious merit of this setting is that it reduces jitter in disc recording. For this reason, setting this function to “ON” is recommended for most recording purposes.

CD/CDR MULTIPLE COMPACT DISC RECORDER

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 integrated 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 LINK1 SYNCHRO connector on each of the components involved.

COMPU LINK functions compatible with this unit

Automatic power on/standby

Selecting a source on the amplifier/receiver automatically turns on the relevant component. Similarly, turning a linked component on or standby automatically turns the ampli fier/ receiver on or standby.

Automatic source selection

Selecting a source o n the connected amplifier/receiver automatically starts its operation. Similarly, starting operation of a linked component will automatically select the relevant source on the

The COMPU LINK functions provided with JVC products come in the form of COMPU LINK-4, COMPU LINK-3 or COMPU LINK-1. They are compatible, and the di fference between t hem is that COMPU LINK-3 has the functions of COMPU LINK-1 with some additional functions as well.

amplifier/receiver. When this unit is sele cted as the source, a selected tray (3 CD or CDR) will start to play.

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 recognized by previous COMP U 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 connec tors on the amplifier/receiver. Doing this enables you to use this u nit 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.
