This specific convertor I have is an Iogear Model GUC232A. Again,
installation was a bit sketchy, the software manual gave no guarantees with
windows XP, but I did in the end get it to work.

HEARING IS BELIEVING:SONY'S NEW XPLOD LINE OF HEAD UNITS BRING LIFE AND EXCITEMENT
BACK TO CAR AUDIO
LAS VEGAS (CES, Booth #N110), Jan. 7, 2004 - A longtime leader in car audio, Sony
Electronics is set to revitalize the mobile electronics industry with its 2004
line of Xplod head units featuring new technology and enhanced styling.
"People want to take their music and video wherever they spend their time, and
for a lot them, that's in their cars," said Bill Lee, general manager for mobile
electronics at Sony Electronics. "From MP3, XM satellite radio and CD-R compatibility
to video input playback, we'll be bringing customized entertainment
to the car. Not only are the head units easy to use, they employ the latest technology
and offer the `cool' factor that our customers demand."
Customized Designs
The new head units share a similar design, but can be customized to reflect individual
tastes. With unexpected extras like multi-color displays and video playback,
Sony has a head unit for every car enthusiast. The new CDX-R3000 model
for example incorporates a new retractable faceplate mechanism called "Motion
Blade", which provides a convenient means to eject CDs and protects the player
from airborne contaminants. The CDX-R3000 model is shipping in January for about
$140.
The CDX-F7000 model brings sophistication to the dashboard with an aluminum faceplate
and high-quality fluorescent display that features full-motion animation,
for about $250. Drivers looking for enhanced customization can opt for the
CDX-M9900 CD receiver, which facilitates external source video playback on its
TFT display. Plus, it provides the ability to capture up to 100 still images
from the video input as "screen-savers." This model will be available in March
for about $650.
Beneath the Surface
For great quality music in the car, all 2004 Sony CD head units include a new CD
playback mechanism and power chip called "DRIVE-S". The key benefit of DRIVE-S
is improved sound quality, as evidenced by its industry-leading 120 dB signal-to-noise
ratio. In addition, most new models feature a built-in subwoofer crossover
and level control that offer flexibility to build an even better system.
Sony continues to broaden enhancements in its car stereo systems, such as MP3 playback
capability. In addition, all Sony head units are CD-R/RW compatible, and
most are XM-Satellite ready.
The 2004 line also signifies the return of some features to enhance ease-of-use,
while also introducing an innovative design. For instance, the 7000 series offers
a large audio control knob, making the unit more intuitive to operate. Most
units also include a wireless remote control for more convenient operation.
Appealing to the aesthetics of a more discriminating Xplod enthusiast, Sony has
developed an Xplod Specialty series of head units that incorporate a provocative
blue highlight color in the face of the CDX-F7005X and CDX-F7705X models.
They will be available in February for about $260 and $290 respectively.

--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Bobby Braun" <bobbybraun@comcast.net>
Nothing major, I bypassed the standard installation software, and did the
install directly from the add new hardware option in the control panel,
choosing the device myself by selecting the .inf file located under the Win
2000 folder on the cd that came with the device, from that point on XP
warned that this software was not certified to run under Windows XP and that
there may be issued, but after that point everything worked flawlessly.
Pretty simple for me, however other computers running different software or
hardware may run into different issues. Good luck all!

I currently use an OLD OLD XR-U700 hu with an equally old XDP-U50D
(You guys are the ONLY ones who still remember these. Also had an old U404
CD
changer, but my dad finally broke the RCA connection part. Maybe i'll fix
that up)
Finally, an upgrade after 8 years... I'm about to receive a second
hand C90 and a XDP-210EQ soon, and I would very much like to run the
signals
using the toslink cable. (reduce possible RCA noise interference)
However, when i browsed some Q&A here, (actually, i looked at ALL the ones
that were posted herer) some say they use the XAD210, while the websites
are telling me to get the XAD211. What are the diff between the two?
Also, what would be the ideal thickness of the optical cable that I should
use? So far, I can find either a 5mm, and up to 7.5mm.
Hmmm, that guy selling his 4000x for $300 shipped, he still have it?

Well, I am in Seoul, Korea, closer to Japan than most of you guys here on
the board. Sony's local market stuff is pretty much the same, if you exclude
the navigation series.
And yeah, they still sell the C90 and XDP-210EQ through their website. Brand
new.
And no, no 4000x :(
