Additional Information

Using the CONTROL A1II control system (CDP- XE570 only)

This player is compatible with the CONTROL A1II Control System.

The CONTROL A1II control system was designed to simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. CONTROL A1II connections provide a path for the transmission of control signals that enable automatic operation and control features usually associated with integrated systems.

Currently, CONTROL A1II 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 A1II connection will work as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various functions for each component.

Note

The CONTROL A1II 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 A1II and CONTROL A1 compatibility

The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to the CONTROL A1II 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 A1II, 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 A1II control system. However, when making connections between components with CONTROL A1 jacks and components with CONTROL A1II 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 CONTROLA1II control system

Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in series to the CONTROL A1II jacks on the back of each component. You can connect up to ten

CONTROL A1II compatible components in
