Basic Functions

The input selector on the receiver automatically switches to the correct input when you press the play button on one of the connected components (Auto input selection). The CONTROL A1II functions will operate as long as the component you want to operate is turned on, even if all of the other connected components are not turned on.

Note

When recording, do not play any components other than the recording source. It will cause the automatic input selection to operate.

Using the CONTROL S Control System

If you have a CONTROL S-compatible Sony TV, satellite tuner, monitor, DVD player or VCR, use a CONTROL S connecting cord (not supplied) to connect the CTRL S IN (for TV, satellite tuner, or monitor) or CTRL S OUT (for VCR, etc.) jack on the receiver to the appropriate CONTROL S jack on the respective component. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your TV, satellite tuner, monitor, VCR, etc., for details.
