Other Operations
Basic Functions
The CONTROL A1 functions will operate as long as the
component you want to operate is turned on, even if all of
the other connected components are not turned on.
Automatic function selection
When you connect a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony
amplifier (or receiver) to 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.
Synchronized recording
This function lets you conduct synchronized recording
between the selected source and recorder components.
1 Set the function selector on the amplifier (or
receiver) to the source component.
2
Set the source component to pause mode (make
sure both the N and X indicators light together).
3
Set the recorder component to the REC-PAUSE
mode.
4
Press PAUSE on the recorder component.
The source component is released from the pause
mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter.
When playback ends from the source component,
recording stops.
Notes
• Do not set more than one component to the pause mode.
• Certain recorder components may be equipped with a special
synchronized recording function that uses the CONTROL A1
Control System, like “CD Synchro Dubbing”. In this case, refer
to the Operating Instructions supplied with the recorder
component.
