============BEGIN QUOTE===================================
  I haven't opened the unit
yet, but from its operation I have deduced that its little more than
a Unilink-controlled rotary switch.  For whatever reason, the
head unit seems to operate the changers one-at-a-time, period...
That's why I'm guessing that the XA-C30 might have to be upgraded,
as well as the firmware in the head unit, to do multi-changer shuffle
correctly.

As far as I can tell, the original intent of the XA-C30 was to allow
several different *types* of sources to be connected, for example
a CD changer, an MD changer, a TV tuner, etc.  They must have been
too far along in the design process when someone thought about the
case where multiple changers of the *same* type would be connected
and halfheartedly added the multi-changer shuffle mode.

This could be a possible revision point for Sony when they decide to revise
this accessory. They would be able to release a unit that is conducive to
control of multiple units of the same type as well as its inherent design --
one unit of three different types. It would be able to recognize whether how
many changers of a kind are living downstream of the unit and even collect
and publish all device lists for units on the Unilink bus, even if there are
multiple adapters downstream. These functionalities may be released as a
Mark II product.

Also, when used along with the RM-X65RF module, is there any text display of
MiniDisc titles or CD-Text titles on the controller's display?
