Does anyone know if there is a shop in washington state that can help me out with the installation of my stereo. I currently have a ton if equiptment I might need help with configuration. here is the equiptment I have:

CDX-C90
XDP-4000X
XAV-7W
XM-7557 Plus Sony bass adjustor
XVM-6h
XA-300
DVX-100
XA-118
Phoenix gold TiDD10

With unlink I am not sure what order to put these Items in. The XAV-7w is going to used just for the screen. I plan on doing most of the install myself as I cant afford the labor most shops charge and tuition too.







The fish are biting.

XDP-4000X
XAV-7W
XM-7557 Plus Sony bass adjustor

Though I have no idea about shops in Washington state, I can say the
following.

With regards to "what order" to connect things, I'm assuming you mean how to
connect them on the UniLink bus? In that case it doesn't matter really with
UniLink. As long as you don't connect two outputs together or two inputs
together, you can connect them in any order and it will still work fine.
"Serial" or "parallelling multi-changer adapters doesn't matter either. It
all works out, lol.

I do however see one problem you're going to have. The XA-7W is a UniLink
*MASTER* meaning it is a head unit itself, and one that isn't capable of
controlling a DSP at that. Connecting two masters to the bus is going to
have it lock up at best, perhaps fry something at worst (lock up is most
likely though). There may be a way that the C90 will recognise the 7W as a
slave or vice versa but that is *highly* unlikely and personally I wouldn't
attempt it. What you could do is just keep the 7W off the bus and control
everything from the C90, using the 7W only as a screen. (Connect only the
video output of the DVX to one of the 7Ws video inputs.) You won't get any
system control or display on the 7W but you really have no choice unless you
want to ditch the C90 and the XDP from the system. Then just connect the
C90 to the master port on the XDP, connect the XA-300 to the changer port
and connect the XA-118 onto the pass-through port on the XA-300 and
everything should work out fine.

You could alternately try the 7W connected to the XDP (and ditch the C90)
but I'm betting that will not work either as I don't think it has DSP
control (no Sony HU after 2000 does). If you need to get audio in from the
7W, I would use one of the inputs on the XA-300 and match the volume level
with the 7Ws volume control. Note the two inputs on the XA-300 are
different--one has a gain on it, suitable for portable devices that have no
line-out mode. If you overdrive the gained input you'll notice quite
quickly with an XDP as you'll hear the nasty (but otherwise non-damaging)
digital clipping through the processor. So depending on what else you plan
on connecting to the XA-300, pick the right input for the 7W and then adjust
the level on the 7W and leave it there.

Anyway, good luck!

Roland M.

Anyone interested in buying a Sony CDX-C910 that works perfectly for DIGITAL
OUTPUT ONLY, no analog output.

comes with remote, aluminum trim ring, origional box, wiring harness, etc.

I can send pics upon request.

yeah I was going to use the XAV-7W just for the screen and nothing else. I liked the option of a fold down screen.

Just out of curiosity, since when did the C910 come with an aluminum trim ring? I'm pretty sure mine's made outta plastic, unless you're talking about the mounting cage...

I am in the process of getting some unilink cables and was wondering if the following will work. I know you stated the placement on the unilink bus is not important as log as I dont plug 2 inputs or outputs together. it will be head unit ---- xa-300---- XDP-4000x being as this is he main link from head to crossover this wont cause an issue will it? this will also enable me to plug the TV tuner on the changer link between XDP and DVX. This will also cut down on the cables running to and from the back. my main goal if I can find the RC-70 is to have my c90 display on the xav screen.

The above sounds like it will work fine. Or it should anyway, strange

things have been known to happen.
