Other Settings Using the
Setup Menu

By using the i.LINK Control function, operations on the
receiver can be automatically linked with the kperation of
specific components.

Linking receiver operations with the
operation of i.LINK components (i.LINK
Control)

When i.LINK Control is turned on, the following
operations are linked:
• When you press the CD N button or MD N button on

the remote, the receiver and the corresponding
component turn on and the component starts to play.

• When the N button on the CD player or MD deck is

pressed to start playback, or the CD N button or MD
N

 button on the remote of the receiver is pressed, the

respective component is automatically selected as the
program source.

• When the display brightness on the receiver is changed,

the same change occurs to the brightness level of the
displays on the MDS-LSA1 MD Deck or CDP-LSA1 CD
Player.

• When Sleep Timer turns off the receiver, the

corresponding i.LINK component also turns off.

• When you turn the receiver on or off, the corresponding

i.LINK component also turns on or off.

• When the i.LINK MD deck or CD player is selected and

no operation has been done on the receiver for more
than one minute, the receiver turns off automatically
when you turn off the selected i.LINK component.
However, when the Sleep Timer is activated, the
receiver won’t turn off until the specified time elapses.

To turn off the i.LINK Control function
Do the procedure above, selecting “Off” in step 3.

• The i.LINK Control functions described above may not work

properly on certain components and under certain conditions.

• Make sure i.LINK Control is active on only one component

within the i.LINK configuration.  For example, when two STR-
LSA1s are hooked up in the same configuration, turn on the
i.LINK Control function on only one receiver and not the other.

Other Operations

Other Settings Using the Setup Menu

Verifying which component is currently
selected (Ping function)

When the Ping function is turned on, you can verify
which of the components is currently selected by pressing
the DISPLAY button on the receiver.  An indication
momentarily appears in the display of the currently
selected component.  The indication varies depending on
the component.  For example, if the selected component is
either the CDP-LSA1 or the MDS-LSA1,
“N  N  n  n” appears in the display of the
component.  Note that this function works on Sony
i.LINK MD deck and CD player only.

To turn off the Ping function
Do the procedure above, selecting “Off” in step 3.

Improving the quality of the audio signal
(H.A.T.S. function)

When the H.A.T.S. function is turned on, digital audio
signals are momentarily stored in a buffer prior to output.
This reduces the jitter that sometimes occurs during
digital transmission.  When this function is turned on, the
H.A.T.S. indicator on the front panel lights up whenever
the digital audio signal is input to the receiver.

To turn off the H.A.T.S. function
Do the procedure above, selecting “Off” in step 3.

• Due to the operating principle of the H.A.T.S. function, a slight

time lag is introduced between the initiation of an operation
(e.g., pressing the play button, stop button, or pause button)
and the actual audio output.

• The H.A.T.S. function is effective only for the components

supporting this function.

• On this receiver, the H.A.T.S. function works only with digital

audio signals with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• The H.A.T.S. function does not work when the program source

component selected by the receiver is also selected by another
component (e.g., another receiver or the MD deck).  This is
because the receiver controls the transmission rate of the digital
audio signals output from the program source component, and
for proper signal transmission, there must be only one
component which receives audio signal from a source
component within the i.LINK configuration.

• The H.A.T.S. function doesn’t work under the following

conditions:
— When the MD is recording from the CD player, and the CD

player or the MD deck is selected as the program source.

— When the sampling frequency of the digital signal is not 44.1

kHz.

Clearing the receiver’s memory

The procedure below clears all the menu settings you
made from the receiver’s memory and restores the factory
