Additional Information
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
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.)

Information
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).
