This MD deck is compatible with the
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
Control System.
The CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
connections
provide a path for the transmission of control
signals that enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with
integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
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
ΙΙ
connection
will work as a multifunction bus allowing you to
control various functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
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.
Connecting the
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in
series to the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
jacks on the back
of each component. You can connect up to ten
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
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.)
Example
In the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system, the
control signals flow both ways, so there is no
distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a
component has more than one CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
jack, you can use either one, or connect
different components to each jack.
About the connecting cable
When a CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
compatible
component is not supplied with a connecting
cable, use a commercially available monaural
(2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters
(6.6 feet) long, with no resistance (such as the
Sony RK-G69HG).
Basic functions of the
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system
Automatic function selection
When you connect CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
compatible
Sony components using CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
cables (not supplied), 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.
(For example, when you press H (play button)
on the MD deck while the CD is playing, the
function selector on the amplifier switches from
CD to MD.)
Using the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system (MDS-
JE770 only)
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
and CONTROL A1
compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been
updated to the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
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
ΙΙ
, 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
ΙΙ
control system. However,
when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
components with CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
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).
