About the CONTROL A1 Control
System
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1
Control System.
The CONTROL A1 Control System was designed to
simplify the operation of audio systems composed of
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1
connections provide a path for the transmission of
control signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with integrated
systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1 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 A1 connection will work
as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various
functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1 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.
Compatibility with the former CONTROL A System
Although the CDP-CX153 is equipped with a
CONTROL
A terminal, it can be connected to
CONTROL
A1 components using a special
connecting cable*.
The CDP-CX151 however, cannot be connected to
CONTROL
A1.
* Use the Sony RK-G139HG (1 meter) monaural mini-
plug ˜ stereo mini-plug connecting cable or a similar
cable (less than 2 meters long with no resistance).
Be sure to connect the STEREO mini-plug to the
CONTROL
A component and the MONO mini-plug
to the CONTROL
A1 component.
STEREO
To CDP-CX153
(CONTROL A)
To the CONTROL
A1 component
MONO
Connecting the CONTROL A1 Control
System
Connect the CONTROL A1 cables in series to the
CONTROL A1 jacks on the back of each component.
Be sure to connect a CONTROL A1 compatible
amplifier (receiver) to take advantage of the
automatic function selection feature.
The components can be connected in any order.
You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1 compatible
components.
The CONTROL A1 functions will work when the
component you want to operate is turned on, even if
all of the connected components are not turned on.
As a rule, the CONTROL A1 remote control system
should not incorporate more than one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 MD deck, 1 CD player, 1 tape deck
and 1 receiver). You may, however, be able to
connect more than one of certain CD players. Refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the
respective component for details.
About the CONTROL A1 cable
Use a commercially available 2P (mono) mini-plug cable
less than 2 meters long, with a maximum outer diameter
no greater than 11 mm, and no resistance. Some
CONTROL A1 compatible components are supplied with
a CONTROL A1 cable as an accessory.
If a component has more than one CONTROL A1 jack, you
can use either one, or connect a different component to
each jack.
“S-LINK” is a general name for Sony’s Bus System, and
includes the CONTROL A1 Control System.

Basic Functions of the
CONTROL A1 Control System
Automatic function selection
When you connect CONTROL A1 compatible Sony
components using CONTROL A1 cables, 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.
Synchronized recording
This function lets you conduct synchronized 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 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 19).
You can also make a synchro recording using the Mega
CD Control Function via the CONTROL A1 Control
System (see “Controlling a CD Changer from the MD
Deck to Make a Synchro Recording” on page 37).
Setting the Clock
Once you set the MD deck’s internal clock, the MD
deck will automatically record the date and time of all
recordings. When playing a track, you can display the
date and time the track was recorded (see page 24).
Time on this deck is displayed on a 24-hour clock.

Recording on MDs
When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts
with the INPUT switch set at the respective digital
position, the deck automatically marks a track
number whenever the sampling frequency of the
input signal changes regardless of the Setup Menu 02
setting.
z You can mark track numbers during or after
recording
For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While
Recording” (page 16) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks”
(page 42).
When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System on page 53)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot
be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the
digital output connector.
When the deck is recording or in recording pause,
digital signals input through one of the digital input
connectors are output to the respective digital
output connector with the same sampling rate
To change the digital input signal to another sampling
rate for output (without recording it to an MD), use
Input Monitor Function (see page 13).
Notes on Recording
If “Protected” alternates with “C11” in the display
The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record
on the disc (see “To protect an MD against accidental
erasure” on page 10).
If “Din Unlock” alternates with “C71” in the display
The digital program source is not connected as you

To continue, connect the program source properly.
The program source is not on.
Turn on the program source.
Depending on the menu settings and source being
recorded, track numbers are marked in following
ways:
When recording from a CD or MD with the INPUT
switch set at a digital position (OPT1, OPT2 or
COAX) and the source connected through the digital
input (DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1, IN2 or DIGITAL
COAXIAL IN) connector:
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the
same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is
repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track
repeat play) or two or more tracks with the same
track number (e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are
played, the track or tracks are recorded as part of a
single, continuous track with a single track number.
If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be
marked for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
When recording from some CD players and multi
disc players connected through one of the digital
input connectors with the INPUT switch set at the
respective digital position:
The deck may not automatically mark track
numbers. In these cases, mark the track numbers
after recording, using the deck’s Divide Function (see
“Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 42).
When recording from a source connected through
the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with the INPUT
switch set at ANALOG or when recording from a
DAT or satellite broadcast connected through one of
the digital input connectors with the INPUT switch
set at the respective digital position and “T.Mark
Off” selected in Setup Menu 02:
The source will be recorded as a single track.
Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or
satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if
“T.Mark LSyn” is selected in Setup Menu 02 (see
“Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on
page 16).
