| Subject: | XA-U40D--What a RARE unit! (But 16 devices???) |
PLING_QUERY

A VERY rare peice indeed and the condition looks like it was new at that!
Looks like Matt won it! What a price tag though--$250 US! Imagine if Sony
had only made more of these things--they would likely be available for about
1/3rd that. Instead they made all 5 of them (okay an exaggeration but you
get the point) and you're paying over $250 for one and that is if you ever
find one! Anyway congrats on picking this up Matt--one rare item indeed.
My only nitpick from the below description is the claim of "up to 16"
changers below. This is strange to me for two reasons. One is that a
single XA-U40D will only allow 4 changers to the one UniLink connection on
the XDP or head unit. I would guess Ryan meant that if you chained more
than one of these together (yeah right as if you are going to find another
U40D!) you could get more changers going. This is true and it may even be
combined with XA-U40 or U20 (non-"D") or XA-C30 MCAs. However I've never
seen mention of 16 changers before...
You can either connect devices on the UniLink bus in serial or parallel so
to connect 16 changers you would have to connect 4 U40/U40D MCAs in parallel
to a fifth (so 5 in total) in order to get to 16 device ports available
(you'd need more if you were using models with fewer ports like the C30).
On the first you would connect each of the other 4 which would then have 4
ports available on each of the 4 remaining U40/U40D units. Theoretically
that would work out but I've never heard of 16 devices being part of the
UniLink standard.
In the early days of UniLink (when "U" in the model number was used to
denote UniLink capability) Sony had advertised a maximum of 10 changers
(devices?) using MCAs. Later as they changed the UniLink designator to the
"C" in the model number, Sony changed their tune saying 7 was now the limit
and since there were also MD and CD changers the limit of 7 was said to be 7
but with a maximum of 5 of any one type of changer. (I.e. Out of that 7 you
could only have 5 CD changers, the remaining 2 would have to be MD or vice
versa.). I wonder why they changed the limit from 10 to 7 but I'd imagine
it might have to do with also having a DSP unit and/or TV Tuner connected as
well as these were released a little later on I believe. Furthermore the
XA-300 AUX adapter takes up 3 CD changer addresses on its own! I wonder how
that figures in?
In any case I'm curious to know whether anyone else has ever heard of "16"
being the number for maximum UniLink devices? I only remember the "10" and
the "7"/"5 of one type" limitations being printed by Sony. I really doubt
you'd be able to successfully address 16 devices on the UniLink BUS! I
guess it may be possible but it cerainly isn't "certified" for that many!
