The KDJ11-E 11/93 has PMI signals on the CD connectors, so you need a
Q/CD backplane, such as the 18-bit 4x9 H9273, the 22-bit 4x9 H9276, or
the 22-bit 4x8 H9278 (BA23 backplane).

The 4x4 H9270 is a Q/Q backplane, so that would cause a conflict with
the PMI signals on the CD connectors of the KDJ11-E 11/93.
