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 cable
When a CONTROL A1II compatible
component is not supplied with a connecting
cable, use a commercially available monaural
(2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters (6.6
feet) long, with no resistance (such as the Sony
RK-G69HG).
Basic functions of the
CONTROL A1II control
system
Automatic function selection
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.)
Notes
• This function works only when the components are
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs
according to the names on the function buttons.
Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of
the function buttons. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
• When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will cause the
automatic function selection to operate.
Synchronized recording
This function lets you conduct synchronized
recording between the CD and the recording
component.
1 Set the source selector on the amplifier
(or receiver) to the CD.
2 Set the CD to playing pause mode
(make sure both the H and X
indicators light together).
3 Set the recording component to
recording pause mode.
4 Press X on the deck.
The CD is automatically released from
pause mode, and recording begins shortly
thereafter.
When play ends from the CD, recording
stops.
Tip
Certain recorder components may be equipped with a
special synchronized recording function that uses the
CONTROL A1II Control System; like “CD Synchro
Dubbing.” In this case, refer to the Operating
Instructions supplied with the recorder component.
Note
Do not set more than one component to the pause
mode.
