Information
This chapter provides additional
information that will help you
understand and maintain your Super
Audio CD player.
Using the CONTROL A1II
control system
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).
