Over UniLink the changer will specify what output mode it is in (digital or analog)=3B going by that the XDP will "expect" a corresponding signal. CD Changers that have digital outputs have a switch for digital or analog mod e=2C and this is how the flag gets set in the UniLink protocol. Changers w ithout a digital output (or without a switch like the DVD changer) are perm anently set to analog mode. Unless the digital out flag is set in the chan ger protocol the XDP will not accept a digital input. So what you would have to do is find the IC on the board of the changer tha t has the digital output bit (use the service manual) and "pull" that signa l "high" or "low" (depending on what it has to be) in order to set digital output mode. It should be possible but no it's obviously not easy. There is also a second problem though... That is the fact that the XDP-210 EQ cannot decode Dolby Digital or DTS. The changer will have to be set to output PCM which would at least get you stereo audio in the digital domain. Note that DTS would not work like this=2C however=2C as I'm pretty sure t he DVD changer did not have a DTS decoder in it. (It doesn't have a full D D decoder either but all DVD players are required to be able to downmix DD multi-channel to 2ch=2C so that would work via PCM as long as you can set t he output as such.)
