Getting Started
Basic Functions of the
CONTROL A1 Control System
Automatic function selection
When you connect CONTROL A1 compatible Sony
components using control A1
cables (not supplied),
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.
(If you press ( (play button) on the MD deck while
the CD is playing, the function selector on the amplifier
switches from CD to MD.)
Notes
• 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.
• When recording, do not play any components other than
the recording source. It will cause the automatic function
selection to operate.
Synchro-recording
This function lets you perform synchro-recording
between the MD deck and selected source component.
1 Set the source selector on the amplifier (or
receiver) to the source component.
2 Set the source component to pause mode (make
sure both the ( and P indicators light together).
3 Set the deck to recording pause mode.
4 Press P on the deck.
The source component is released from the pause
mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter.
When the playback ends from the source
component, recording stops.
Notes
• Do not set more than one component to the pause mode.
• This MD deck is equipped with a special synchronized
recording function that uses the CONTROL A1 Control
System (see “Making a synchro recording from a CD
player connected with a control A1 cable” on page 20).
Setting the Clock

deck will automatically record the date and time of all
recordings. When playing a track, you can display the
