If the controller you are using has not been paired with a receiver, you can use one of the following methods to pair both devices.
Connecting CTRL.1 / CTRL.3 to MDR.X/MDR.S
Wireless Pairing via Controller
Press the MENU button on the controller, then navigate to WIRELESS>FIND RECV to scan for active receivers and automatically pair. The LED on the controller will turn green once paired.
Wireless Pairing via Receiver
Press the MENU button on the MDR.S, then navigate to WIRELESS>CHANNEL and select the same channel number as the controller to begin pairing. The LED on both the controller and receiver will turn green once paired.
Wired Pairing
Connect a 5-pin connector from the controller’s wired-mode input to the IN-1 input on the receiver. The controller and receiver will remain paired even after disconnecting the 5-pin connector. The LEDs on the controller and receiver will turn blue once paired.
Connecting CTRL.5 to MDR.X/MDR.S
The CTRL.5 simplifies connecting to an MDR.X or MDR.S receiver by utilizing RF channels to deliver efficient and reliable performance. If your controller is not yet connected to a receiver, follow these steps to complete the setup and ensure proper functionality.
- Press the MENU button on the controller, then tap the SETTINGS tab.
- Scroll down to the SYSTEM list and tap the RF tab.
- Tap the Scan for Receiver tab. Ensure that the CTRL.5 and the receiver are on the same RF channel.
- Confirm that the RF Connection Status has changed to Connected on the main screen and that the connected channel on the home screen has also turned from white to green.
