Introduction
The CIS-200 Control Interface is designed to allow hardwired control with two way
communication of Sony audio/video products that use the S-Link control system from an
RS232C serial communications device. S-Link is a general term for Sony audio/video
control systems. S-Link is composed of the following two systems: Control-A1 for audio
components, and Control-S for TVs and video components.
Audio products use the Control-A1 system, a completely new protocol that allows full two
way communication. This makes possible not only component control with transport
status information back, but also exchange of information such as custom file data from a
CD changer. Up to ten components can be linked in daisy chained fashion.
TVs and Video products with the S-Link label use the Control-S system, also referred to as
SIRCS (Sony Infrared Remote Control Standard), which has been in use since the early
1980’s. Although Control-S is a unidirectional protocol, the S-Link system employs
circuitry that allows a component to return confirmation that it has been activated.

Programmers Notes:
Since CONTROL-A1 is a half-duplex "network" running at an equivalent baud rate of
approximately 600 bps, it is recommended that the following guidelines be observed to
achieve maximum efficiency:
1. The CIS-200 Command #1 (Send A1 Data), is intentionally designed NOT to read back
the A1 returned data, as to achieve a faster response time. It is recommended to use
Command #1 for commands such as "PLAY", "STOP", "PAUSE", etc. that would require
instant response.
2. The CIS-200 Command #2 (Request A1 Data), will read back ALL A1 data on the A1
bus immediately after "ACK" is received. It is recommended to use this command only
when data reception is necessary (i.e. obtaining product status’s) as to minimize A1 "data
clog". After data is received, a "Stop ALL Data" Command (90H) or a subsequent
Command #1 should be sent to minimize data throughput.
