Hookups
When connecting the audio cord, be sure to match the
color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the
components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to
White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid
hum and noise.
• If you have a Sony receiver (amplifier) equipped with
the CONTROL A1 jack
Be sure to connect the player to the CD IN jacks on the
receiver (amplifier). When making this connection, set the
COMMAND MODE of the player to CD1 (see the
illustration below). If you further connect the player and
the receiver (amplifier) via the CONTROL A1 jacks with the
monaural (2P) mini-plug cord (not supplied), you can use
the Auto Function feature between these components. For
details, refer to the supplementary “S-Link
TM
/CONTROL-
A1 Control System” instructions and the instructions
supplied with the receiver (amplifier).

function, via the CONTROL A1 jacks. When making this
connection, set the COMMAND MODE selectors of each
player to the appropriate position according to the
connected line input jacks. For details, refer to the
instructions supplied with the connected player.
