On CONTROL Al jacks and
connections
It is possible to make connections between
CONTROL Al and CONTROL Al II jacks.
For details regarding particular connections or
set up options, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the component(s).
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).
Basic Functions
The CONTROL Al II functions will operate as
long as the component you want to operate is
turned on, even if all of the other connected
components are not turned on.
Automatic function selection
When you connect a CONTROL Al II
compatible Sony amplifier (or receiver) to
other Sony components using monaural mini-
plug cords, the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches
to the correct input when you press the play
button on one of the connected components.
Notes
l
You
must connect
a CONTROL Al compatible
amplifier (receiver) using a monaural mini-plug
cord in order to
take advantage
of the
automatic
function selection feature.
l
This function only works when the components are
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs
according to the names on 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.
l
When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will
cause the
automatic function selection to operate.
Synchronized recording
This function lets you conduct synchronized
recording between the selected source and
recorder components.
1
Set the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) to the source
component.
2 Set the source component to pause
mode (make sure both the F and II
indicators light together).
3 Set the recorder component to the
REC-PAUSE mode.
4 Press PAUSE on the recorder
component.
The source component is released from
the pause mode, and recording begins
shortly thereafter.
When playback ends from the source
component, recording stops.
Notes
l
Do not set more than one component to the pause
mode.
l
Certain recorder components may be equipped with
a special synchronized recording function that
uses
the CONTROL A 1 II Control System, like "CD
Synchro Dubbing". In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the recorder
component.
