alpine pxa-h600 and toslink input

lchatela · 02-02-2006, 03:47 AM

Hello,
I have a pxa-h600 and was using it with analog entries. That's a nice product but i want to use its dac instead of the ones of my sound card.
I have connected a toslink cable between my pc and the CD in or changer in of the pxa but no sound is heard.
I think that I need to have the right HU to enable the toslink input, unfortunetly my one doesn't not have the digital output so I can't enable it.

Any one has a similar experience with the h600 or h510?

There has to be a way for you to select which input you are using on the H600. Did your H600 come with a control unit? Are you using your head unit as the control unit? If so, what headunit are you using? There is only a small selection of Alpine headunits that will allow you to control your processor...if you don't have one of them, I suggest you get one.

Hello,
I have an old cda-7842. It can only drive the volume of the h600.
It seems that (according to manual) the control unit does not allow to select the source...
I think I need to find an old changer with digital output to enable the digital input.

Can you please hack the H600 ?

May be with an AI-Net (USB) Controller and the right "keyword" from the PC ?

Thanks !
