now my question is

do i still need a brain to run the dvd
or its just all plug and play???

[Hatch]

First question is why are you running a second head unit when the screen has a slot in it?

and if the screen needs a brain then it will have one in the box.

[celicaboi]

i wannaplay mp3s and make the 2nd unit as an acting receiver

is that wrong

[97avalonxls]

the only time you need a brain on most dvd's is either to upgrade to 5.1 (older ones) or if you are integrating components (ie a screen and signal processor and dvd)

[celicaboi]

i just wanna know if this two is compatible w/ each other

[Hatch]

yes they are, its just how you wire it that makes the dif

[celicaboi]

so if i get a brain, it'll make it digital??

[Hatch]

its kind of hard to understand where you are trying to go with this? are you getting the equipment brand new/used/stolen?

if it is brand new, it will come with all of the available accessories to use it to its full potential.

why dont you just get a more current model that already plays mp3 and dvds instead of having 2 separate, older units? and to answer your question (which i dont remember anymore) you can wire them together but you'll have to use the signal output from one and plug into into the auxiliary input on the other. so basically take the front and rear outputs from the regular cd/mp3 player and run some rca's to the auxiliary on the HU with the screen. wait i read the question, the brain is for processing dvd's if that HU is only a cd player then it shouldnt have a brain.

when it comes to audio im such a noob

this head unit is 2yrs old both of them, getting it from someone
as far as i know its a dvd/vcd/cd player
and he had the 7400 running along with it

so i might not need the brain

i do, but its not gonna happen

im getting both units for 900$ so i cant go wrong

Boi, I'm not sure if the two units will work together. I'm thinking it should though via the IP-Bus. Worse case scenerio you get a IP to RCA convertor...which I think I have laying around somewhere.

[celicaboi]

find it damnit,

the wife must not know about my plans.. lol

I'll check tonight for it.
