Control A1 is a bi-directional protocol.  For instance on the CD changers 
you can send commands to the changer and you also get back info about what 
the player is doing.
Control-A2 is basically the same thing but with the extensions for the 300 
disc changer.  (It may be more than this but that's all we've been able to 
determine about it)
Control-S is IR on a wire.  In other words you can send the same signals 
the remote sends on a wire.  It makes things a bit more reliable than using 
an IR transmitter.
