Basic Functions of the
CONTROL A1 Control System
Automatic function selection
When you connect CONTROL A1 compatible Sony
components using CONTROL A1 cables, 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.
(If you press · (play button) on the MD deck while
the CD is playing, the function selector on the amplifier
switches from CD to MD.)
Notes
• 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 MD deck and selected source component.
1 Set the source selector on the amplifier (or
receiver) to the source component.
2 Set the source component to pause mode (make
sure both the ( and P indicators light together).
3 Set the deck to recording pause mode.
4 Press fl on the deck.
The source component is released from the pause
mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter.
When playback ends from the source component,
recording stops.
Connecting a personal computer
Connect the CONTROL A1 jack on the front (or back)
of the deck using the CONTROL A1 cable (supplied)
and connector (supplied). Refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the MD editor software for
details.
Notes
• Do not set more than one component to the pause mode.
• Do not connect the headphones to the CONTROL A1 jack

headphones or malfunction of the deck.
