2nd zone connections
The CONTROL A1II Control System was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL A1II connections
provide a path for the transmission of control
signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with
integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1II connections
between a Sony CD player, amplifier (receiver),
MD deck and cassette deck provide automatic
function selection.
Note
Do not operate a 2 way remote control unit when the
CONTROL A1II jacks are connected via a PC
interface kit to a personal computer running “MD
Editor” or similar application. Also, do not operate the
connected component in a manner contrary to the
functions of the application, as this may cause the
application to operate incorrectly.
CONTROL A1II and CONTROL A1
compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated
to the CONTROL A1II 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
A1II, 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 A1II control system.
However, when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
components with CONTROL A1II 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).
If you have a Sony CD changer with a
COMMAND MODE selector
If your CD changer’s COMMAND MODE
selector can be set to CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3, be
sure to set the command mode to “CD 1” and
connect the changer to the CD jacks on the
amplifier (receiver).
