About the CONTROL A1 Control
System
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1
Control System.
The CC')NiROL A1 Control System was designed to
simplitv the operation of audio systems composed of
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1
connections proyide a path for the transmission of
control signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with integrated
systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1 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 A1 connection will work
as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various
functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1 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.
Compatibility with the former CONTROL A System
Although the CDP-CX153 is equipped with a
CONTROL A terminal, it can be connected to
CONTROL A1 components using a special
connecting cable*.
The CDP-CX151 however, cannot be connected to
CONTROL Al-
* Use the Sony RK-G139HG (1 meter [39 Vs in]) monaural
mini-plug *—► stereo mini-plug connecting cable or a
similar cable (less than 2 meters [78

resistance).

• The components can be connected in any order.
• You can connect up to ten CONTROL Al compatible
components.
• The CONTROL Al functions will work when the
component you want to operate is turned on, even if
all of the connected components are not turned on.
• As a rule, the CONTROL Al remote control system
should not incorporate more than one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 MD deck, 1 CD player, 1 tape deck
and 1 receiver). You may, however, be able to
connect more than one of certain CD players. Refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the
respective component for details.
About the CONTROL Al cable
• Use a commercially available 2P (mono) mini-plug cable
less than 2 meters (78 V^ in) long, with a maximum outer
diameter no greater than 11 mm ('/ ih in), and no
resistance. Some CONTROL Al compatible components
are supplied with a CONTROL Al cable as an accessory.
• If a component has more than one CONTROL Al jack, you
can use either one, or connect a different component to
each jack.
