Sony STR-DE545 Operating Instructions Manual page 11

CONTROL A1 n hookup (STR-DE545 and
STR-SE501 only)
• If you have a CONTROL A1 H compatible Sony
CD player, tape deck, or MD deck
Use a CONTROL AI cord (not supplied) to connect the
CONTROL A1 1I jack on the CD player, tape deck, or
MD deck to the CONTROL A1 II jack on the receiver.
Refer to the separate manual "CONTROL-AI II Control
System" and the operating instructions supplied with
your CD player, tape deck, or MD deck for details.
Note
If you make CONTROL A1 II connections from the receiver to
an MD deck that is also connected to a computer, do not
operate the receiver while using the "Sony MD Editor"
software. This may cause a malfunction.
• If you have a Sony CD changer with a
COMMAND MODE selector
If your CD changer's COMMAND MODE selector can
be set to CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3, be sure to set the
command mode to "CD 1" and connect the changer to
the CD jacks on the receiver.
If, however, you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO
OUT jacks, set the command mode to "CD 2" and
connect the changer to the VIDEO IN jacks on the
receiver.
