[slinkelist] Need help setting CDJ to switch Amp source

It seems that I can't simply daisy chain CD players ad nauseum.  So, I would
like to get CDJ to switch input sources on my Sony amplifier (at least until
I can bring myself to spring for a DXS <g>).

I think I have grasped the basics of the device files and the mapping, but I
can't quite figure out how to switch sources.

I installed the device file for Sony amps (ampslr.cde) and named the device
"DA555ES".  Based on the stuff in the sample map file I took a stab at
setting it up and was able to get the mute and volume functions to work.  I
can't, however, figure out the command to change source on the amp.

It looks like I should use the "input" command, but all the devices are
commented out.  What is the correct format for the command and do I need to
uncomment the sources that apply to my amp?

Here's what I have:
cdjr:pre_startup {}
cdjr:startup {}
cdjr:using_player[cd1] {DA555ES:?} #I want this to be CD
cdjr:using_player[cd2] {DA555ES:?} #I want this to be CD
cdjr:using_player[cd3] {DA555ES:?} #I want this to be DAT
[snip]
cdjr:vol_up {DA555ES:vol+}
cdjr:vol_down {DA555ES:vol-}
cdjr:mute_on {DA555ES:mute_on}
cdjr:mute_off {DA555ES:mute_off}

Here's a smattering of the device file:
01010000xxxxiiiiiiiissssssssssss:input # set the input and surround mode
(modes are limited depending on input)
# 000000 = tuner
# 010100 = phono
# 020200 = cd
