S-LINK CONTROL A1 hookup

•If you have a S-LINK CONTROL A1-compatible Sony CD player, tape deck, or MD deck

Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the CD player, tape deck, or MD deck to the S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the receiver. Refer to the separate manual “CONTROL-A1 Control System” and the operating instructions supplied with your CD player, tape deck, or MD deck for details.

Note

If you make CONTROL A1 connections from the receiver to an MD deck that is also connected to a computer, do not operate the receiver while using the “Sony MD Editor” software. This may cause a malfunction.

•If you have a Sony CD changer with a COMMAND MODE selector

If your CD changer’s COMMAND MODE selector can be set to CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3, be sure to set the command mode to “CD 1” and connect the changer to the CD jacks on the receiver.

If, however, you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO OUT jacks, set the command mode to “CD 2” and connect the changer to the VIDEO 2 jacks on the receiver.

Connecting the AC power cord

Before connecting the AC power cord of this receiver to a wall outlet:

•Connect the speaker system to the receiver (see page 15).

•Turn the MASTER VOLUME control to the leftmost position (0).

Connect the AC power cord(s) of your audio/video components to a wall outlet.

If you connect other audio/video components to the AC OUTLET(s) on the receiver, the receiver will supply power to the connected component(s), allowing you to turn the whole system on or off when you turn the receiver on/off.

Caution

Make sure that the total power consumption of the component(s) connected to the receiver’s AC OUTLET(s) does not exceed the wattage stated on the rear panel. Do not connect high-wattage electrical home appliances such as electric irons, fans, or TVs to this outlet.
