Sony CDP-CX355 Operating Instructions Manual page 38

Connections
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cords in series to the CONTROL AlII jacks on the
back of each component. You can connect up to ten CONTROL AlII compatible
components in any order. However, you can connect only one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1 MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver).
(You may be able to connect more than one CD player or MD deck, depending on the
model. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the respective component for
details.)
Example
Amplifier
(Receiver)
CD player MD deck Tape deck Other component
In the CONTROL AlII 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
AlII jack, you can use either one, or connect different components to each jack.

About the connecting cord
Some CONTROL Al compatible components are supplied with a connecting cord as
an accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord for your connection.
When using a commercially available cord, use a monaural (2P) mini-plug cord less
than 2 meters long, with no resistance (like the Sony RK-G69HG).
