Basic Functions Of Control A1 - Sony MDS-JE530 Operating Instructions Manual

In the CONTROL A1 control system, the control signals
flow both ways, so there is no distinction of IN and OUT
jacks. If a component has more than one CONTROL A1
jack, you can use either one, or connect different
components to each jack.
Jacks and connection examples
On CONTROL A1 jacks and connections
It is possible to make connections between CONTROL A1
and CONTROL A1 jacks. For details regarding
particular connections or setup options, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with component(s).
About the connecting cable
Some CONTROL A1 compatible components are
supplied with a connecting cable as an accessory. In this
case, use the connecting cable for your connection.
When using a commercially available cable, use a
monaural (2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters long,
with no resistance (like the Sony RK-G69HG).
Basic Functions of the CONTROL A1

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.
