The Bottom Line: Worth a serious look. You could get better but for a chunk more change.

Review: I bought this unit a couple of weeks ago, having read lots of negative and positive comments. It was under $300. I agree with most of the cons that have been mentioned, however the thing neatly holds 400 discs and is the cheapest brand-name player in ...

Pros: Goes from one dvd to another quickly.

Cons: 22 inches deep. Bright blue light inside shines out and has no function.

The Bottom Line: Of the few multi-disc changers on the market this is top notch.

Review: My only regret is not getting it sooner! At the time of purchase (yesterday) I had about 160 DVD's that were watched an average of 1.1 times in their lives because it is a pain to stand there swapping out DVD's in the single DVD player. This thing set ...

Cons: Big! price $379.99 but it's worth the money if you have a lot of movies.

The Bottom Line: Great unit if you own a lot of movies and don't want 'dvd-droppings' all around the house.

Review: Recently I had purchased Sony's newest 400 disc dvd/cd/sacd/mp3/cdr-w/dvd-+r-w (probably more) player from Best Buy. Working in the Home Theater dept. I get to see a LOT of dvd players. This one really caught all of our eyes. I was a little taken back at ...

Pros: Cases, DVD, and CD storage problems are solved.

Cons: What everyone else said.

The Bottom Line: This is the perfect purchase if you want to get rid of the clutter of CD and DVD cases.

Review: Read the other reviews, then read mine. I had far less expectations for this device than some other people, and maybe you do, too. I wanted CD and DVD cases out of site, and this player did that for me. I'll cut right to the chase. Before I got ...

Pros: Progressive scan, good value, 400 discs

Cons: Disc lists and menus

The Bottom Line: Great value, great picture, best you can find in the multidisc world today.

Review: I've just ordered my SECOND Sony DVP-CX985V because for the price, it's a remarkable player. I own the 300 disc predecessor from Sony as well and it's been relegated to the 'books on tape' audio archive. This player made some key upgrades e.g. ...

Pros: Fast disk changing. Good picture quality.

Cons: Disc sorting is worthless. Remote could be better.

Review: This changer was what I was waiting for. I had a rather extensive DVD collection and what would keep me from every watching any when there was nothing on TV was the hassle of going over, picking one, opening case, putting it in DVD player...etc. This is ...

Pros: Holds 400 DVDs, but does not cost an arm and a leg

Cons: Remote has really small lettering

Review: I have been using this Sony DVD player for three days now. I intend to simply use it to store my relatively large DVD collection. So far, so good. I have loaded about 250 discs and created a spreadsheet that shows what disc in what slot. I do not intend ...

Pros: Many connection options, easy to use and set up

Cons: Indexing system needs a lot of work to be completely user friendly

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want a jukebox now. Wait if you want a better interface to search your movies.

Review: I recently purchased the Sony DVP-CX985V Multi-disc DVD player as a housewarming gift for myself. The master plan was to place all my DVDs and some of my CDs in the unit to use as a jukebox for my whole house audio/video system. It does do that for me ...

Pros: $200 cheaper than the Pioneer. Progressive scan. Plays DVD+Rs.

Cons: Interface sucks. Huge.

The Bottom Line: Buy one and work around the shortcomings. It'll change your life.

Review: Thanks to the dire warnings in reviews like these, I purchased this item with low expectations. I chose a local retailer instead of an online one because I knew I might want to return it. Got a floor model for $345, so I was satisfied with the price. ...
