Since the XDP-4000x doesnt decode Dolby can the optic out still be used? if it is do I still hook up the audio RCA's on the XA-118 or just the digital cable?

On the DVX-100?  No, unfortunately it cannot.  The reason being the 
	


"pin"/signal that sets the analog/digital out bit for the *UniLink* 

architecture is probably permanently set to analog in the XA-118.  The only 

way you'd be able to use the digital out would be to hardware mod the XA-118 

to make it tell the XDP it's in digital out mode; then, use the DVX-100s 

optical out, setting it to PCM output only.

Any more info on this?



I also have a dvx-100 with xa-118 adapter. I also have a cdx-c90 with xdp-210eq and wanted to know if it was something relitively easy to modify to use the optical out on the dvx-100 to be recognized by the xdp-210eq.



My soldering skills are poor by the way. Only solder engine wire harness etc. Nothing small and delicate.

It wouldn't be something easy to modify...

 �

 Over UniLink the changer will specify what output mode it is in (digital or analog); going by that the XDP will "expect" a corresponding signal.� CD Changers that have digital outputs have a switch for digital or analog mode C and this is how the flag gets set in the UniLink protocol.� Changers without a digital output (or without a switch like the DVD changer) are permanently set to analog mode.� Unless the digital out flag is set in the changer protocol the XDP will not accept a digital input.

 �

 So what you would have to do is find the IC on the board of the changer that has the digital output bit (use the�service manual)�and "pull" that signal "high" or "low" (depending on what it has to be) in order to set digital output mode.� It should be possible but no it's obviously not easy.

 �

 There is also a second problem though...� That is the fact that the XDP-210EQ cannot decode Dolby Digital or DTS.��The changer�will have to be set to output PCM�which would at least get you stereo audio in the digital domain.� Note that DTS would not work like this C however C as I'm pretty sure the DVD changer did not have a DTS decoder in it.� (It doesn't have a full DD decoder either but all DVD players are required to be able to downmix DD multi-channel to 2ch C so that would work via PCM as long as you can set the output as such.)
