This unit is compatible only with the [SL-16] mode. The system control operation is not available if the unit is connected in the [XS8], [XS], or [XR] connection mode.

If your component has the mode select switch, set the connected components to the [SL16] mode.

In order to take advantage of the system control operations, the components must be connected to the correct jacks. To use a CD player it must be connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the MD/TAPE jacks. When using more than one CD player (etc.) only the one connected to the specified jacks may be connected for system control.

Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Do not make system connections with equipment that is not [SL16] compatible.

Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment.

1.[SL16] equipment cannot be combined with [XR], [XS], and [XS8] equipment for system operations. If your equipment consists of this kind of combination, please do not connect any system control cords. Even without system control cords, normal operations can be carried out without effecting performance.
