COMPU LINK  
Linked Operation of the Other Optional Components (Compu Link)  
The EX series components can be controlled under linked operation provided by the JVC’s Compu  
Link remote control system.  
What is Compu Link  
The world of single components, in which you purchase a cassette deck, CD player, amplifier and  
other components separately and enjoy your own composition, is an effective means for pursuit of  
high-quality reproduction. However, in terms of operability, the need of controlling components  
independently makes their control complicated and their linked operation impossible. Then, isn’t it  
possible to combine single component and control them as simply as an integrated audio system?  
The Compu Link remote control system is the response to such a requirement.  
The components in the JVC EX series are equipped with jacks named COMPU LINK-3 (COMPU LINK  
jacks). By connecting the COMPU LINK jacks of these components, they can be controlled simply  
with a systematized, linked operation.  
Compu Link connections  
Using Compu Link cables, connect the COMPU LINK jacks of EX series components. Connect so that  
the Compu Link cables can bridge all of the EX series components you have. The components can be  
connected in any order.

Shortcut playback  
Simply selecting an input source of the amplifier/tuner starts playback of the selected source  
component (CD player, MD recorder or cassette deck).  
Also, even if you do not touch the amplifier/tuner, starting playback of a source component sets the  
amplifier’s input source automatically to the played component.  
*Refer to the instruction manual of amplifier/tuner.  
A single remote control unit  
The remote control unit provided with the amplifier/tuner can also be used to control the CD player or  
cassette deck.  
(See “Remote Control of the Other Optional Components” on page 43.)  
Synchronized recording  
Recording can be started automatically in synchronism with the start of playback of a source  
component.  
Timer operation  
The timer function built into the amplifier/tuner can be used to start recording or playback of other  
components at the reserved time of the day or switch the power to the STANDBY mode in the  
reserved time period.  
*Refer to the instruction manual of amplifier/tuner.

Rule on Digital Copying  
The digital audio equipment exchange audio signals in the digital forms through digital input/output  
jacks, and include the CD (Compact Disc) player, MD (Mini Disc) recorder and DAT (Digital Audio  
Tape) recorder. The digital audio equipment allows digital copy of signals with little deterioration of  
music signals. This has made it necessary to have a copy restriction rule for protecting the copyright,  
and the SCMS has been established as a result.  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
With a view to protecting the copyright, the SCMS restricts the number of generations permitted for  
copying of signals in the digital form between digital audio equipment to only one generation.  
2nd generation  
1st generation  
Caution  
Because of this rule, the MD obtained by recording a CD on the MD recorder cannot be copied in the  
digital form on other digital equipment.

About MD (Mini Disc)  
The MD (Mini Disc) is a new digital audio medium using a disc with a diameter of 64 millimeters. In  
spite of the small size, the MD has multiple functions, high audio quality and recording/playback  
capabilities for up to 74 minutes.  
Role of the cartridge  
The MD cartridge has a pocket size of 68 mm x 72 mm  
with a thickness of 5 mm. The cartridge accommodates the  
Cartridge  
64 mm diameter disc for ease of transportation and  
storage.  
The internal disc is usually protected by the cartridge shells  
and shutter so no dust, dirt, scratch or fingerprint is left on  
the disc and the disc handling is easy.  
Disc  
Cartridge  
Shutter  
Two disc types  
The MD (Mini Disc) includes two disc types, the recordable MD that can be recorded onto and the  
playback-only MD that can exclusively be played back. Although both types of discs are played in the  
same way, that is, by irradiating a laser beam on the disc and reading signals from the reflected light,  
the ways they are recorded are completely different.  
Playback-only MD  
This type of disc is used in prerecorded MD software  
marketed in music stores. It cannot be recorded by the user  
and data is recorded in the same way as a CD, i.e.  
Sound Cruise  
according to the presence or absence of small holes called  
pits. A disc recorded in this way is referred to as an “optical  
disc”.  
Playback-only MD  
Recordable MD  
This type of disc records data using the magnetism to allow  
repeated data recording operations. A disc recorded in this  
way is referred to as an “MO (Magneto-Optical) disc”.

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)  
The MD (Mini Disc) has half the size of the CD but can  
(dB)  
record data for the same period of time. This has been  
made possible by the newly developed ATRAC (Adaptive  
TRansform Acoustic Coding), which compresses data by  
cutting the audio components that are inaudible to the  
human sense of audition. This technology reduces the  
recorded data to about 1/5 the original data quantity and  
enables recording/playback of data for up to 74 minutes.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)  
The recordable MD (Mini Disc) contains the recording of  
UTOC (User Table Of Contents) in addition to music data  
itself. The UTOC includes the information on the positions  
the tracks are recorded, markings between tracks and order  
of tracks, so tracks can be searched quickly by referring to  
it. The editing operations consist of altering the UTOC  
contents and the actual music data does not need to be re-  
recorded.

MD Restrictions  
The MD uses a unique data recording format that is different from the formats used by Cassettes  
tape and DAT. Due to the restrictions imposed by this MD recording format, following symptoms may  
be observed. Note that these symptoms do not indicate malfunction of the product.  
Symptom  
Cause  
“DISC FULL” is displayed  
before the available recording  
time indicated on the disc has  
been used.  
The number of tracks that can be recorded on an MD is limited  
regardless of the time period. It is not possible to record a 255th  
track.  
“DISC FULL” is displayed  
although there remains margin  
in both the number of tracks  
and available recording time.  
After partial erasure and re-recording are repeated, the disc comes  
to contain many idle spaces here and there. When recording data  
on such a disc, the MD recorder distributes the data of a single  
track in many locations. When such separated sections increase,  
“DISC FULL” may be displayed during recording.  
The JOIN operation is not  
possible.  
When a section below 8 seconds is created by separation, the  
track containing it cannot be joined with another track using the  
JOIN function, and the remaining recording time does not increase  
even when such a section is erased. Also, the audio may be  
interrupted after fast forwarding or fast reversing a track recorded  
in separate sections.  
The remaining recording time  
does not increase after some  
tracks are erased.  
Sound is interrupted after fast  
forward or fast reverse.  
The total of the elapsed  
recording time and remaining  
recording time is less than the  
available recording time  
indicated on the disc.  
The MD always spend a continuous space of at least 2 seconds  
for recording data even when it is shorter than 2 seconds. When a  
large number of non-used spaces below 2 seconds are produced  
in a disc as a result of the above, the available recording time in  
the disc is shortened.

Handling MDs  
MD handling precautions  
To maintain high quality audio for a long period  
Since the disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it  
can be handled easily without caring about dust and  
dirt. However, to maintain the high audio quality for an  
extended period, use care in the following points.  
Installation location  
Do not install the MD in following places.  
• In a place subject to direct sunlight or where the  
temperature rises, for example in a closed  
automobile. The disc may be warped and unusable in  
these places.  
• In a bathroom or where the humidity is high. The disc  
may be rusted in these places.  
• On a beach or sandbox. The disc surface may be  
scratched or damaged if grit penetrates through an  
opening on the cartridge.  
Periodical maintenance  
When the cartridge gets dusty or dirty, wipe with a soft,  
dry cloth.  
Do not open the shutter.  
The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not  
force to open it or the disc may be destroyed.  
To protect important recording  
A recordable MD has a sliding tab for protection against  
accidental erasure of important recording.  
After recording or editing, slide open the accidental  
erasure protect tab on the cartridge edge to make  
additional recording or editing impossible. If you want to  
re-record or edit the disc, slide the protect tab again.
