Rear auxiliary input source select

I am rigging up an indoor sound system using an old Sony Xplod cassette deck (xr-ca600x). I have the unit powered up. I can listen to the radio and tapes, but what I really want is to utilize the R/L auxiliary ports in the back. I thought it would be as easy as cycling through the source menu, but when I push the source button, nothing happens. It will automatically switch over to cassette when one is inserted, but no such luck with the rear aux inputs. I've tried searching through the menu, holding source for several seconds, resetting the unit, but still no luck. Got any clues for me?

Unfortunately, the input on the rear of the stereo are Bus inputs. You must use a controller to use those inputs.

    Thanks for the clue. I dug up the old cd changer that was connected to the deck once upon a time. I plugged the changer into the bus port. So now, while some random cd's spin silently in the changer, I can listen to whatever audio I want. You gave me the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Thanks again!

SOURCE: Turning off sony cdx-gt170 display

Hold the volume button down until the clock setting comes on. Then press the same button until you see "Demo:On" on the screen. Turn the volume either up or down to change the setting and then hold the volume button down until you see "AUX" or "TUNER" on the main screen again.

SOURCE: No sound from cd or aux on CDX-GT32W

Just connect together the solid blue wire on the main harness to the radio with the blue/striped wire. The blue wire is for the power antenna and the blue striped is for the remote amp. but if not connected together only the fm/am has outputs to the line output RCA jacks. I learned this through Sony's tech line and it works perfectly now.

SOURCE: Yes, also.... I am trying

In order to use the Aux, you must connect the source to aux port, then using the source select aux and you should hear the sound coming out.

Here is the link to the manual:

Those are for the optional CD/MD changer. The deck won't switch over to those inputs unless a compatible changer is hooked up via the bus control. The only way to make this work would require a changer.

I have a Sony CFD 5250 Radio Cassette-Corder. Can I play music from an I-Pod through it? I cannot find the manual. Can I access a manual online?

The answer is yes, but the ease of doing so will vary. If the unit has an auxiliary input all you will need is a 3.5 millimeter to stereo RCA plug adapter. If it does not have an aux in then it gets more complicated, but it can be done. Do a little digging on the internet for an old cassette adapter. These were used in years gone by to allow the playing of a portable CD player through a cassette deck. The adapter looks just like a cassette, but it has a wire coming off of it with a 3.5 millimeter plug on the end. It will allow you play the I-Pod through the cassette deck just like a portable CD player.

Having problems hooking up an ipod.

The "bus audio input" works as an auxiliary input on some Sony decks, but not all. For the others, you need an auxiliary input adapter like this one: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Yln489DwSWp/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=127AUXONS You can also use a Sony iPod adapter that will charge the iPod and let you control it through the head unit controls: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Yln489DwSWp/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=305250&I=158XA110IP&search=sony+iPod

Linking an i pod to a Sony CDX-MP40 using the bus input terminal

Some Sony head units let you use the Bus audio inputs as an auxiliary source input, but yours is not among them. To play your iPod through the head unit, you'll either need an iPod interface module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-110IP or an auxiliary input module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-300 The iPod interface will allow you to control and display the iPod directly through the head unit, while an auxiliary input adapter will allow the iPod to play through the head unit using the iPod's controls and display.
