About the CONTROLA1 Control System
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1 Control System.
The CONTROL A1 Control System was designed to simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. CONTROL A1 connections provide a path for the transmission of control signals which enable automatic operation and control features usually associated with integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1 connections between a Sony MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), and cassette deck provide automatic function selection and synchronized recording.
In the future the CONTROL A1 connection will work as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1 Control System is designed to maintain upward compatibility as the Control System is upgraded to handle new functions. In this case, however, older components will not be compatible with the new functions.
CONTROL A1 and CONTROL A1 compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to the CONTROL A1 which is the standard system in the SONY 300 disc CD changer and other recent Sony components. Components with CONTROL A1 jacks are compatible with components with CONTROL A1 , and can be connected to each other. Basically, the majority of the functions available with the CONTROL A1 control system will be available with the CONTROL A1 control system.
However, when making connections between components with CONTROL A1 jacks and components with CONTROL A1 jacks, the number of functions that can be controlled may be limited depending on the component. For detailed information, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the component(s).
Connecting the CONTROL A1 Control System
Connect monaural (2P)
(You may be able to connect more than one CD player or MD deck, depending on the model. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the respective component for details.)
