In the CONTROL A1II control system, the control signals flow both ways, so there is no distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a component has more than one CONTROL A1II jack, you can use either one, or connect different components to each jack.
About the connecting cableWhen a CONTROL A1II compatible component is not supplied with a connecting cable, use a commercially available monaural (2P)
When you connect CONTROL A1II compatible Sony components using CONTROL A1II cables (not supplied), the function selector on the amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches to the correct input when you press the play button on one of the connected components.
(For example, when you press H(play button) on the CD while the MD deck is playing, the function selector on the amplifier switches from MD to CD.)
