CONTROL A1 control system Getting Started This section explains the basic functions of the CONTROL A1 Control System. Certain components have special functions, such as "CD Synchro Dubbing" on cassette decks, that require CONTROL A1 connections. For detailed information regarding specific operations, be sure to also refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with your component(s). 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 CD player, amplifier (receiver), MD deck 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. Notes • 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. • Do not operate a 2 way remote control unit when the CONTROL A1 jacks are connected via a PC interface kit to a personal computer running "MD Editor" or similar application. Also, do not operate the connected component in a manner contrary to the functions of the application, as this may cause the application to operate incorrectly. continued 39GB
