Using the CONTROL A1II control system
Connecting the CONTROL A1II
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 any order.
However, you can connect only one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1 MD deck, 1 tape
deck and 1 receiver). (You may be able to connect
more than one CD player or MD deck, depending
on the model. Refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the respective component for
details.)
Example
CD player
Amplifier
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).
(The monaural (2P) mini-plug cable is supplied for
Canadian models.)
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.

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.

Press X on the recording component.
The CD is automatically released from pause mode,
and recording begins shortly thereafter.
When play ends from the CD, recording stops.

Control System; like "CD Synchro Dubbing." In this case, refer to
the Operating Instructions supplied with the recorder
component.
