PRECAUTIONS
SETTING UP
Installation
Connecting the unit
• Select the best location
This compact disc changer/player needs to be connected to an
amplifier/receiver for audio reproduction.
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.
CAUTION
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other neces-
sary connections have been made.
1. Audio connection
• Moving the unit
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).
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.

Also the unit can display the text information
in CD text discs identified by the logo on the

• Be sure to insert the plug firmly into the proper ports.
• Be sure to match the output and input channels—RIGHT to
RIGHT and LEFT to LEFT.
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.
Operation
• Place only discs in the disc storage
Do not put anything other than discs in slots of the disc storage.

• 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.
2. COMPU LINK-3 connection
• Set the sound volume carefully
If you are using a JVC audio amplifier/receiver supporting the
COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, connect either one of
the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) ports on the back of the
unit with the amplifier/receiver’s COMPU LINK-3 port using
the supplied compulink cord (black).
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.

Installing batteries in the remote
control
The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote

If you are using a JVC audio amplifier/receiver supporting
TEXT COMPU LINK, connect either one of the TEXT COMPU
LINK ports on the back of the unit with the amplifier/receiver’s
TEXT COMPU LINK port using the supplied TEXT COMPU

4. Power connection
Connect the supplied AC power cord into the socket on the

plug into a switched AC outlet of a component.)
AC POWER CORD
CAUTION
• Install the batteries with their polarities correctly set.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not
going to be used for an extended period of time.
• Do not expose the remote control to heat, flame, or
direct sunlight.
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).

You can see the disc information in a CD text disc on the display,
as well as the information of a normal CD stored manually.
With normal audio CDs
(non CD Text discs)
A normal audio CD does not contain text information. However,
because the XL-MC334 allows you to enter the disc information
including Disc title, Performer and Genre, you can see the disc
information for a normal audio CD later.
With CD Text discs
The disc information in a CD Text disc consists of Disc title, Track
title, Performer, Genre, Song writer, Composer, Arranger and
Message. However, it depends on which information are recorded
on discs.
(See “ENTERING DISC INFORMATION” on page 15.)
When selecting a CD with manually entered disc information, the
information appears in the following order.
• When playback is stopped
The TEXT indicator lights and the Disc title appears on the display.

• The disc information in a CD text is memorized in
the unit. If a disc is unloaded, the memorized infor-
mation of the disc is maintained until new data is
entered. To clear the memorized information, delete
the characters manually one by one. See “How to
enter characters” for details on how to delete a char-
acter on page 15.

TEXT COMPU LINK
SYSTEM
COMPU LINK-3 REMOTE
CONTROL 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.
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 avail-
able with the older versions (refer to the instructions
manual of the component for the information).
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.
The COMPU LINK-3 Remote Control System provides the
following functions:
• Entering characters easily
By connecting the amplifier/receiver to the TV monitor, you can
enter the Title information easily using the TV monitor.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier/receiver
or MD recorder for the details on how to use the TEXT
COMPU LINK.
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 re-
cording troubles during synchronized recording.
