Note

The portion with the highest level may differ every time you try the adjustment on the same disc. The difference is, however, so slight that you won't find any problem in adjusting the recording level precisely.

Using the CONTROL A1II control system (CDP-XE570 only)

This player is compatible with the CONTROL A1II Control System.

The CONTROL A1II control system was designed to simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. CONTROL A1II connections provide a path for the transmission of control signals that enable automatic operation and control features usually associated with integrated systems.

Currently, CONTROL A1II connections between a Sony MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), and cassette deck provide automatic function selection and synchronized recording.

In the future the CONTROL A1II connection will work as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various functions for each component.

Note

The CONTROL A1III 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.

CONTROL A1II and CONTROL A1 compatibility

The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to the CONTROL A1II which is the standard system in the Sony 300 disc CD changer and other recent Sony components. Components with CONTROL A1 jacks are compatible with components with CONTROL A1II, and can be connected to each other. Basically, the majority of the functions available with the CONTROL A1 control system will be available with the CONTROL A1II control system. However, when making connections between components with CONTROL A1 jacks and components with CONTROL A1II jacks, the number of functions that can be controlled may be limited depending on the component. For detailed information, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the component(s).

Connecting the CONTROL A1II control system

Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in series to the CONTROL A1II jacks on the back of each component. You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1II 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.)

SONY CDP-XE270 - Connecting the CONTROL A1II control system - 1
Example

continued

Using the CONTROL A1/1 control system (CDP-XE570 only) (continued)

In the CONTROL A1II 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 A1II jack, you can use either one, or connect different components to each jack.

About the connecting cable

When a CONTROL A1II compatible component is not supplied with a connecting cable, use a commercially available monaural (2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters (6.6 feet) long, with no resistance (such as the Sony RK-G69HG).

Basic functions of the CONTROL A1II control system

Automatic function selection

When you connect CONTROL A1II compatible Sony components using CONTROL A1II 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.

(For example, when you press (play button) on the CD while the MD deck is playing, the function selector on the amplifier switches from MD to CD.)

Notes

  • This function works only 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.

Synchronized recording

This function lets you conduct synchronized recording between the CD and the recording component.

1 Set the source selector on the amplifier (or receiver) to the CD.
2 Set the CD to playing pause mode (make sure both the and indicators light together).
3 Set the recording component to recording pause mode.
4 Press II on the deck.

The CD is automatically released from pause mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter.

When play ends from the CD, recording stops.

Tip

Certain recorder components may be equipped with a special synchronized recording function that uses the CONTROL A1II Control System; like "CD Synchro Dubbing." In this case, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the recorder component.

Note

Do not set more than one component to the pause mode.

Precautions

On safety

  • Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
  • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
  • Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

On power sources

  • Before operating the player, check that the operating voltage of the player is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the player.
  • The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
  • If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
  • AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

  • Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.
  • Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
  • Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On operation

  • If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On adjusting volume

  • Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

On cleaning

  • Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

On handling CDs

  • To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
  • Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
