About the CONTROL A1 Contr ol System
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1
Control System.
The CONTROL A1 Control System was designed to
simplify the operation of audio systems composed of
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1 connections
provide 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.

CONTROL A1 and CONTROL A1 compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated
to the CONTROL A1 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 A1 , 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 A1 control system.
However, when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
components with CONTROL A1 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).
Connecting the CONTROL A1 Control System
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cords in series to the
CONTROL A1 jacks on the back of each component. You
can connect up to ten CONTROL A1 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.)
