Hey all,
A week ago or so we were talking about repair / replacement of the c90 face,
and here is what I've found. I just got my face back from Sony, well, at
least they say it's my original face. It looks brand new, everything is
replaced, there's no connection marks on the back, no fading on the buttons,
no scratches on the face or release button, wow! On top of that, they sent
a new case with it. I'm thinking that they just replaced the whole thing,
there's even a label on the back with the item number of the replacement
face (cdx-c90fp) ha ha, but I could be wrong, who knows, as they say they
don't have replacement faces available anymore. Well, all I have to say is
that, for $125.00, compared to what a used one would go for on Ebay or what
Sony asked for, ($184.00 plus shipping for a replacement face) I'm
satisfied. My C90 looks brand new again!

How long was turn around? I would consider doing this for $125 for THOSE
results.

The thing is you CAN'T make one--well it would be pretty darn hard! The
price comes from it being VERY rare in North America... Still $350-$400 is
excessive. To have an understanding of the UniLink bus well enough to make
a Multi-Changer adapter is not easy--then you have to make the MCA and that
requires a lot of work including finding also very hard to find UniLink
female connectors!
I guess what Pete *might* be trying to say is use an analog MCA (like the
XA-C30 or XA-U40--no "D") and then make your own (active) optical switcher.
You can even buy an active optical switcher, however they are also not
very cheap. I'd imagine at least $150-$200 for a device like that... You
could also go with a manual optical switcher and just change the source
yourself (some use push buttons and other more expensive ones you can use a
remote); but changing the digital source yourself is a little more involved
than just changing sources on the HU.
One of these is not necessary for more than one changer, only for more than
one *digital* output changer to be connected via digital output. You could
use a much cheaper XA-C30 or XA-U40 (discontinued) MCA for analog changers.
Furthermore if you have only one digital changer you could connect other
another analog changer(s) as well as the digital one using the standard
MCAs. Only when you have more than one digital-output changer does it
become an issue. Even then you *could* always go analog on the other
digital-out changer(s) keeping just one connected digitally...

Good to hear! :) As for the $125 flat-rate from Sony USA there are a few
good things about it... One is that it is $125 US flat-rate is a pretty
good rate. It is also done by the Sony factory repair ppl so they usually
know what they are doing. It applies to most of Sony electronics, provided
the item is within 7 years of its last market date (as determined by Sony).
It also covers return shipping which is nice and all parts and labour for
the repair. The flat-rate is void, however if the unit was abused or
otherwise physically damaged (e.g it was dropped and broken that way), was
water damaged, etc. It is also void if a non-Sony authorised repair was
performed/attempted prior to sending it to them.
Really if your pickup was gone on the C90 you might have been able to send
the whole thing in and they would have refurbed the FP and repaired the C90
and sent it all back--all for $125!
AFAIK Sony USA is the only one that offers this service, however. I.e. it
isn't available in Canada. Though what you could do if you were in Canada
is mail it to them in the US and have it mailed back to a US return
address...

Ha, ha. Yeah I understand Matronics is really an Aviation site and the XDP
list is just a small side-addition to it, but humorous nonetheless :P

Just so you know, the pickup on my deck is perfect, must've been someone
else you're thinking about, but you're right, if I had any other issues with
my deck, they would've taken care of it also. But the rest of my deck is
mint, so, nothing to fix, thank god, for now neways!

Took 7 Days from the day I sent it, they even 2 day mailed it back to me,
had I done the same when shipping to them, it would've been even faster! I
can't believe it, the display is even brighter, you can almost see it in the
sunlight now! If Sony didn't make such crap for car audio now, I'd be sold
on them for life!
