I have a few questions about the XA-300. How do you enable the xa-300 to play alternate sources? Like say I wire the dvd player up to the xdp using the xa118 and the digital out can I run the audio rca's from the xa-118 to the xa-300. will I still be able to play the radio while my son watches the dvd and listen to it using the xa-300 an headsets.

As stated in the other email I sent to the list, you won't be able to use
|
the digital out onthe DVX-100/XA-118 combination.
You can't connect the DVX-100 to both the XA-118 and the XA-300 because
connecting the XA-118 disables any stand-alone functionality of the DVX-100
(other than the DVD controls anyway). So you can only use the DVX-100 when
the XA-118 is selected (when the DVX-100 is selected as the source unit on
the HU). If you wanted the DVX-100 to be independent then the XA-118 is of
no use to you and it's better if you went without it.
The XA-300 does not add any kind of "simultaneous" or "dual zone"
functionality to UniLink head units, but you can use the headphones output
as you describe. Whatever you input to the one analog RCA input on the
XA-300 (can't remember which one it is but it's tied to the headphones out
anyway) will always be output on the headphones jack, regardless of whether
the XA-300 is active on the bus (and even regardless of what input is active
on it).
To get to the end result you want (son watches/listens to DVD while you
listen to the radio), you'd have to ditch the XA-118 in this install and
then connect it to the XA-300 instead, using the headphones tied input.
Then the DVX-100 would be independent and the XA-300 would always output
it's audio from the headphones port on it, as well.
Alternately you could use the SIMULT feature on the XT-40V which would let
you listen to CD or a changer while a TV tuner or video program were
selected for the monitor output of the 40V. However tuner operation is not
allowed during this. This feature is also fairly pointless as well, as you
could just use alternate video inputs on the monitor (all monitors these
days have more than one really) to accomplish that, and not route A/V
through the 40V at all.
I'm wondering if you don't have a few too many components than you need
here, to accomplish what you want for the end result?
(From your posts, I'm getting that you have the HU, an XDP, a DVX-100 w/
XA-118, an XA-300, and monitor(s), is that correct?)
