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 “CONTROL-A1
Control System” instructions and the instructions supplied
with the receiver (amplifier).

CD1 and that of another player to CD2 or CD3. Then
set the CD1/2/3 switch on the remote supplied for
each player accordingly.
• When using the player not equipped with the
