yes i will explain what the problem is. the nakamichi system changer 50100 has the sound traveliing in a digital cable. the round hole that looks like antenna jack on the back of the changer is ACTIA;LLY THE DIGITAL PORT. ON LATER CHANGERS IT IS A BLUE SQURE PORT. . it plugs into the nakamichi equalizer and thew changer 50100 could work with your pioneer headunit if you had the nakamichi equalizer box.. if you dont have the equalizer box then the changer will not put any sound out as it needs the equalizer box........................................................................................................................... this is a common problem where the seller withholds the box out of stealth or ignorance and sells it as a pioneer system changer because it was made by pioneer for the nakamichi system so buyer thinks its the right changer. . all other later nakamichi system changers from 98 up wont work even with the equalizer box on a pioneer radio so the seller probably withheld giving the box just to sell it to unsuspecting buyer who would think it was pioneer system since it says pioneer on label. if you could get seller to cough up the equalizer box the changer would work on your pioneer system 1996 ls400. and would actually have more treble and base capability. this is only true on 95 to 97 ls400 radios. no other pioneer system radio can control the nakamichi changer AND EQUALIZER except the 95 to 97 ls400 pioneer radio kex-8156zt with the numnber p1703,p1707 or p1713 on the cassette flap door.
