Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the
CTRL A1 jack on the CD player or tape 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 or tape 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 terminals on the receiver.
However, if you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO
OUT terminals, set the command mode to “CD 2” and
connect the changer to a set of the receiver’s video
component terminals (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or LD).

Speaker System Hookups
Overview
This section describes how to connect your speakers to
the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers
are required, center and rear speakers are optional.
Adding center and rear speakers will enhance the
surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will
increase bass response.
For specific locations of the terminals, see the
illustration below.
For optimum surround sound effect, place your
speakers as shown below.
What cords will I need?
Speaker cord (not supplied) (1 for each speaker)
Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm).
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
