Hi,

The question is, what are the differences between CD changer inputs and normal line in inputs?

Is it possible to treat these CD changer inputs as a line in?

Cheers

Depends on the brand - some may not allow you to change to cd changer input without seeing the data bus present as well, and a live CD changer on the other end.

Cheers Chiark.

The intention is to get a single disc CD head unit, and then at a later date plug in a portable mp3 player. Just wondered if a head unit with just a cd changer control would be sufficient.

Does anyone know of any makes where this is possible?

I'd look for one with a dedicated AUX input. I know that Kenwood take the approach of putting an aux input on their high-end cd-changers, not on the head unit itself.

Anyone with a Sony/Panasonic unit actually tried this? The problem is that if you haven't got a cd-changer attached, you can't select changer input...
