Control-A1 (or II) into Ctrl-S - does it work?

[kgallen]

I'm slightly embarrassed to ask as in theory I should be able to work it out... however this is slightly new territory for me.

Ctrl-S is input only (e.g. MDS-E10, MDS-E12). Can this be driven from a Control-A1 [or Control-A1(II)] "output" to transfer titles from the Control-A1 MD to the Ctrl-S MD?

From the SM, the MDS-E10 Ctrl-S input circuit is a little different to the Control-A1, but as @sfbp has said on a number of threads, these, plus SIRCS plus IR are all based around the "IR Remote Control" protocol.

So has anyone tried this type of connection and did it work? Any issues with A1 vs A1(II) into Ctrl-S? Any limitations anyone has become aware of with Sony machines (say CDP-XE530, MDS-JE530, MDS-JE770 for instance?!).

Thanks for any insight!
