Other Operations Automatic function selection When you connect a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony amplifier (or receiver) to other Sony components using monaural miniplug cords, 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. Notes • You must connect a CONTROL A1 compatible amplifier (receiver) using a monaural mini-plug cord in order to take advantage of the automatic function selection feature. • This function only works 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 selected source and recorder components. 1 Set the function selector on the amplifier (or receiver) to the source component. 2 Set the source component to pause mode (make sure both the N and X indicators light together). 3 Set the recorder component to the REC-PAUSE mode. 4 Press PAUSE on the recorder component. The source component is released from the pause mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter. When playback ends from the source component, recording stops. Notes • Do not set more than one component to the pause mode. • Certain recorder components may be equipped with a special synchronized recording function that uses the CONTROL A1 Control System, like "CD Synchro Dubbing". In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the recorder component. 43
