x Automatic function selection
When you connect a CONTROL A1

other Sony components using monaural mini-
plug cords, the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches
to the correct input when you press the play
button on one of the connected components.
Notes
• You must connect a CONTROL A1 compatible
amplifier (receiver) using a monaural mini-plug
cord in order to take advantage of the automatic
function selection feature.
• This function only works when the components are
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs
according to the names on the function buttons.
Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of
the function buttons. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
• When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will cause the
automatic function selection to operate.
