Hooking Up the System

When you connect a Sony CD changer with a
CONTROL A1 jack to the MD deck using a control A1
cable, you can operate the CD changer using the
controls on the MD deck or the supplied remote (Mega
CD Control Function).
Hook up the MD deck to an amplifier and a CD
changer as follows. Be sure to turn off the power of
each component before connection.
Notes
• You can use the Mega CD Control Function only when the
deck is connected to a CD changer. This function does not
support single-disc CD players.
• The displays and operations may differ depending on the
connected CD changer.
