Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the CONTROL A1 jack on the CD player, tape deck, or MD deck to the CONTROL A1 jack on the receiver. Refer to “CONTROL A1 Control System” on page 51 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.
