Re: Kenwood CD 2080

>>>>
I just learned of your product two weeks after spending a bundle on a four zone, whole-house audio

distribution system using all Kenwood components (except for the Xantech IR receivers, connecting

block and emitters). I use a CD-2080 200 disc changer, as it has two separate CD transports so

that the next CD cues up while the current one plays. Any hopes of support for this CD changer? It

really seems to have quite a few features which you are looking for, and is quite inexpensive at

around $500.

I'm excited about this changer too, but I haven't had the time to investigate its potential in terms of communicating with it. If it allows you to obtain the TOC (table of contents) info from the discs and the current playing time, then I would consider adding support for it in CDJ. I'm just not willing to go out and buy one only to find out that it has a very poor interface. My attempts to contact Kenwood have been unsuccessful. $500 is still a bit more expensive than most Sonys, which can be as cheap as $149 for a 200 disc, but I think the dual transport really opens up the possibilities in terms of being able to pre-queue any two discs.
