BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
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  
controlsrelativeoperationsbetweencomponentsand facilitatesvarious  
operations. With the COMPU LINK connection to an amplifier or re-  
ceiver, 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 thesupplied COMPULINKcord intotheCOMPULINK-3SYNCHRO  
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.

Care and handling  
Maintenance of discs  
How to handle CDs  
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.  
When handling compact discs, do not touch the surface of the disc (re-  
flective 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.  
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!
