jamin1415 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Okay, I've been trying to find out, unsuccessfully of course, to see if my Sony MDX-CA680X head unit in my car will accept the line in on the back of the unit. Basically, in the back of the unit, it has the white and red auxilary-in to where I want to plug in my HI-MD player/recorder so I can play it through my reciever in the car. Yet, when I plug it in, I see no way of playing the sound through the unit, it just plain isn't happening. I looked in the manual and followed the directions but the menus didn't seem to match up. So I'm wondering if any of yall know how to make this happen, I'm just dying to get HI-MD in my car without having to use an FM-Transmitter which sounds like crap. Please help!

xravexboix Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 AUX in will not control the unit, only allow a transmission into the unit. On most units I've dealt with, put it on CD and then press the BAND button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnBkr Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I also have the CA680x. In order to get RCA inputs for portable audio players you will need to use the Sony XA-300. Once this is connected, the head unit will have extra inputs to select from. The XA-300 provides 2 sets of RCA inputs (AUX1, AUX2), port for headphones (don't know why) as well as a USB for computer feeds. The XA-300 connects to the head unit with a control cable and an RCA cable for the sound. The XA-300 is fairly small (5-15/16"W x 1-3/8"H x 7-1/8"D). I believe many of us are waiting for Sony to introduce the Hi-MD version of the MDX-CA680x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamin1415 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks MntBkr that helps a lot...kind of a messed up thing for Sony to do in my opinion, why the hell not just have the inputs on the back and have Aux as an option on the menu. Who knows Sony always has to make it hard. But thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
