[slinkelist] Control A1 II on 200-disc DVD DVP-CX850D

[Ken Geoffrion]

Colby,

I bet it's just like my DVP-C600D DVD changer which has the megacontrol for 
Sony's CD changers, but doesn't respond to any Control-A1 signals.  All the 
documentation I've seen for the DVD changer says Control-S.  The new 
CDP-CX350 300-Disc MegaStorage CD Changer does have Control-A1 II.  I don't 
know why Sony would take a step backwards with the newer DVD player, except 
it seems all their DVD players only have Control-S.

I've got one of these new 200-disc DVDs on order from www.camerworld.com for 
$599, and I'm hoping to add support for it in CDJ. Crutchfield says the unit 
has Control-S, but that it also functions as a master controller for another 
200/300 disc CD changer, which says to me that is has a Control-A1 II port. 
Unfortunately, I'm getting the impression from others who have the similar 
5-disc DVP-C650D that the Control-A1 II port controls a changer as 
advertised, but doesn't support any control over the DVD changer. That is, 
the DVD changer can send a receive commands to a slave changer, but can't
be commanded itself. This would indeed be dissapointing. Does anyone have 
further information one way or another?

Thanks,

Colby
