Control-A1 Control System - Sony TA-E9000ES Operating Instructions (primary manual) Operating Instructions Manual

Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV, or an LD player using
the control amplifier. You can also add audio from a
variety of audio sources when editing a video tape. See
your VCR or LD player's instruction manual if you need
help.
1
Turn INPUT SELECTOR to select the program source
to be recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert the laser disc you want to record
into the LD player.
3
Insert a blank video tape into the VCR (VIDEO 1,
VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3) for recording.
4
Start recording on the recording VCR, then start
playing the video tape or laser disc you want to
record.
z
You can record the sound from any audio source onto a
video tape while copying from a video tape or laser disc
After locating the point where you want to start recording from
another audio source, select the program source, then start
playback. The audio from that source will be recorded onto the
audio track of the video tape instead of the audio from the
original medium.
For example, if you want to record video from the component
connected to the VIDEO 1 jacks and audio from the component
connected to the CD jacks:
1 Turn INPUT SELECTOR to select VIDEO 1.
2 Press AUDIO SPLIT to display "V:VIDEO1 A:(audio
component)"
3 Press AUDIO SPLIT repeatedly to select the CD player as the
audio component ("V:VIDEO1 A:CD").
See "4 AUDIO SPLIT button" on page 13 for details on use of
the AUDIO SPLIT button.
To resume audio recording from the original medium, hold down
AUDIO SPLIT for more than 2 seconds to cancel. (Please note
that the selected audio component will switch once before
cancelation.)
Notes
• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component
connected to the analog TAPE REC OUT, MD/DAT REC OUT,
VIDEO 1 REC OUT, VIDEO 2 REC OUT, or VIDEO 3 REC OUT
jacks. To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital
component to the MD/DAT OPTICAL OUT jack.
• You cannot, however, record multi channel surround digital
signals from a DVD, etc.
CONTROL-A1 Control
System
Getting started
"CONTROL A1" is the name of the remote control
system that controls the audio components in the
Sony S-Link™ bus-system. (S-Link™ is a general term
for the Sony audio/visual component control system.)
This section explains the basic functions of the
CONTROL A1 Control System. Certain components
have special functions, like "CD Synchro Dubbing" on
cassette decks, that require CONTROL A1 connections.
For detailed information regarding specific operations,
be sure to also refer to the Operating Instructions
supplied with your component(s).
The CONTROL A1 Control System was designed to
simplify the operation of audio systems composed of
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1 connections
provide a path for the transmission of control signals
which enable automatic operation and control features
usually associated with integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1 connections between a Sony CD
player, amplifier (receiver), MD deck and tape deck
provide automatic function selection and synchronized
recording.
In the future the CONTROL A1 connection will work as a
multifunction bus allowing you to control various
functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1 Control System is designed to maintain
upward compatibility as the Control System is upgraded to
handle new functions. In this case, however, older components
will not be compatible with the new functions.
Compatibility with the former CONTROL A System
Basically speaking, CONTROL A is not compatible with
CONTROL A1.
Certain CONTROL A components, however, can be
connected to CONTROL A1 components using a special
connecting cord.
• CDP-CX151 Not compatible
• CDP-CX153 Can be connected*
* Use the Sony RK-G139HG (1 m) monaural mini-plug ˜
stereo mini-plug connecting cord or a similar cord (less
than 2 meters long).

component
STEREO
Be sure to connect the STEREO mini-plug to the
CONTROL A component and the MONO mini-plug to
the CONTROL A1 component.
