CONTROL A1 Hookups (USA and Canadian
models only)
• If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony CD player,
tape deck, or MD deck
Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the
S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the CD player, tape deck, or MD
deck to the S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the receiver. Refer
the separate manual “CONTROL-A1 Control System” and
the Operating Instructions supplied with your CD player,
tape deck, or MD deck for details.
• If you have a Sony CD changer with a COMMAND
MODE selector
If the CD changer’s COMMAND MODE selector can be
switched between CD 1, CD 2, and CD 3, be sure to set the
command mode to “CD 1” and connect the changer to the
CD jacks on the receiver.
However, if you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO
OUT jacks, set the command mode to “CD 2” and connect
the changer to the VIDEO 2 jacks on the receiver.
