About the CONTROL A1 Control
System
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1
Control System.
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
MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), 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.
Note
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.
Connecting the CDP-CX153 CD player
Although the CDP-CX153 is equipped with a
CONTROL A terminal, it can be connected to
CONTROL ^ components using a special
connecting cord*.
The CDP-CX151 however, cannot be connected to
CONTROL M-

plug <—► stereo mini-plug connecting cord or a similar

• The components can be connected in any order.
• You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1 compatible
components.
• The CONTROL A1 functions will work in the
component you want to operate is turned on, even if
all of the connected components are not turned on.
• As a rule, the CONTROL A1 remote control system
should not incorporate more than one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 MD deck, 1 CD player, 1 tape deck
and 1 receiver). You may, however, be able to
connect more than one of certain CD players. Refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the
respective component for details.
About the CONTROL A1 cord
• Use a commercially available 2P (mono) mini-plug cord
less than 2 meters long, with a maximum outer diameter
no greater than 11 mm, and no resistance (like the Sony
RK-G69HG). Some CONTROL A1 compatible
components are supplied with a CONTROL A1 cord as an
accessory.
• If a component has more than one CONTROL A1 jack, you
can use either one, or connect a different component to
each jack.
