Off hand I can think of the following that had the optical output...
CDX- 91, 805, 828, 838 and 848X
The 91 is pretty old-skool at this point. It was an excellent changer but
keep in mind finding one it will almost always been used and because of the
age of the design, it will be used for several years no doubt. I hear the
error correction on it wasn't as good as the newer ones so you might want to
take that into account.
The CDX-805 and up are all pretty much the same internally, the differences
vary mainly in cosmetics. The 828 has a different door/front panel; the 838
is the same as the 828 but it is red instead of sliver and the 848X is also
red but has a larger plastic door with no window (looks kind of toy-like
really). I believe they may have switched from manufacturing in Japan after
the 828 as well, but I could be wrong.
All of the above changers have a form of ESP (Electronic Shock
Protection/memory buffer). However starting with the 828 Sony changed from
ESP to Advanced ESP--a better strategy for filling/emptying the buffer which
also had better power consumption characteristics (why that matters in a car
I have no idea but that is what Sony had claimed).
As for error correction, I can comment that my CDX-828 is almost amazing on
that point. It reads through most scratches perfectly. It doesn't like
fingerprints or smudges/smears on the disc, however. But as long as the
disc is clean the 828 is pretty darn good at reading scratched/damaged
discs. I have one CD where the last track, I cannot get it to play in ANY
CD player I own (even computer CD and DVD -ROM drives where error correction
is paramount) without skipping in this one certain spot. However in the 828
it plays perfectly. I actually wanted that track on a MiniDisc I was making
once and couldn't get it to read properly anywhere so I had to make the
recording off the digital output in the car!
Anyway hope that info helps. You can find pretty much any of these changers
on eBay, by the way. I think nowadays they sell in the $100 US range, used.
If you're really lucky you can sometimes find a brand new one.
Roland M.

let me restate the problem so im not missing anything. the new file name
doesnt appear in the unit (still sounds yucky) . when i try com ports 1 or 2
says it cannot find target when i select 3 or 4 it asks me about the "com
port" properties yet lets me go into the software. i just found the manual
here but i dont know about the if the name appears in the deck or the
computer program only.
