Perhaps someone here has a Denon CD-changer and can tell us how it
works in conjunction with a cassette-stereo like my 470R?

I don't have the unit in front of me, and don't have a user-guide, but
I seem to remember a "CD " button on the front-panel. As for
next/previous track/pause/play I suppose the existing radio station
buttons might act as controls for those functions when the CD changer
is used.

Not sure what would be telling the unit to switch to the CD changer
other than the "CD" button itself. Are you saying it might need some
external trigger input? If that's so, how would a CD-changer do that?


I think what he's thinking is that the "CD" button might not switch to the
changer input unless it sees there's a changer present. The changer itself
wouldn't actually trigger the deck; the deck has to trigger the changer to
activate when you switch to that input.
