Sony DVP-CX995V Multi-disc DVD Player

Pros: Powerful, pleasing "Disc Explorer" lets you store/label/display/sort/select/play your entire media collection via TV screen, HOWEVER...

Cons: All my "Disc Explorer" entries mysteriously vanished after one year! (Bummer!!!) Inexcusably limited music-playback features.

The Bottom Line: For videophiles owning many DVD's, this jukebox is--generally--pure nirvana! (Just PRAY all your painstakingly typed entries don't vanish within months!) But for programming/playing music CD's, it's

Review: UPDATE AS OF 02-01-2007: ALAS, YESTERDAY ALL MY (400!) "DISC EXPLORER" ENTRIES VANISHED! THE USUAL "LOADING" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE SCREEN, AND THEN EVERYTHING FROZE. AFTER I FINALLY GOT THE MACHINE TO SHUT OFF, I TURNED IT BACK ON, ONLY TO...

Pros: Disk capacity, features, technology, simplicity

Cons: No stopping auto play for DVD's

The Bottom Line: This is the best jukebox available. Great features with the newest technology. Setup was simple with the quick setup guide.

Review: I spent a lot of time researching my needs and what was available to fill these needs. There are really only two manufactures that presently build a jukebox DVD-Music player. Both Pioneer and Sony presently sell a jukebox style DVD player.
The...

Pros: holds 400 discs! Menus with thumbnail pictures of the disc, HDMI/component/digial audio output

Cons: loading and menus can be slow, definite learning curve to setup/use it properly

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a DVD/CD jukebox, make sure this is on your shortlist!

Review: I bought this DVD jukebox so I would have a place to store my 150 DVD's and about 200 CD's. The first unit I got started having problems with playback after about 3 months. The DVD would hang for about 10-45 seconds at a time. I sent it back to Sony...

Pros: Neat and clean no peanut butter smears.

Cons: None

Review: I bought this mostly because I was tired of having the younguns scratchin my DVD's and I was really tired of having an entire 6 ft tall book shelf filled with DVD cases.

I'm not an electronics junky so I really don't care about the bells...

Pros: Minimize storage space - Less expensive than some contemporary rack systems

Cons: Firmware=junk, autoplay, slow loading, cheap remote

The Bottom Line: If you're put to the choice to get rid of movies, or by a changer, buy the 985 and keep your HD single tray. Otherwise, I recommend waiting for improvements.

Review: All things considered, the hardware department turned out a product representative of a price much higher than even their SRP of $399.95. Amazon had a pre holiday price of $329 with free second day air. For 329 dollars, I get to take 2 walls of dvd...

Pros: Holds 400 DVDs, Great video and sound, convenient.

Cons: Autoplay feature, no disk lock down for transporting unit.

The Bottom Line: The jukebox is a dream come true. Your multimedia is located in one place, storing your investment in a dust free. Buy it!

Review: About six months ago I received my favorite electronics catalog. Perusing the pages I discovered what I had wanted for ages. A 400-Disc DVD/SA-CD/CD Mega Changer so I would have the ability for CD's and movies available at a touch of a button. The...

Pros: Holds 400 discs, keyboard hookup, good audio & video

Cons: Bad remote, bad firmware, SLOWWW, doesn't play PAL discs! Auto play doesn't turn off!

The Bottom Line: It's completely worth suffering with the con's if you really want a nice safe place to store your discs where they can't get damaged and are easily accessible!

Review: This is in no way a very technical review so it may not get the "helpful" rating, but i'll try. I bought the Sony 400 Disc DVD/CD changer about 2 months ago so I have had a little time with it to review it.

I love having all my dvd's in...

Pros: Holds 400 discs, HDMI output, Nice interface - Could be improved

Cons: Autoplay bug! Difficult to start movie by slot number.

The Bottom Line: A great player to have if you don't mind the broken auto play feature. Wait for Sony to fix the problem before purchasing.

Review: I had been waiting since March to buy this player and finally got it a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to put my ever growing collection of DVDs in one player for easy access and this player can hold up to 400 DVD/CD/SACD discs.

The player...

Pros: 400 disc capacity, HDMI, on screen library

Cons: Slow, autoloads on power on

The Bottom Line: If you have a large collection and need to organize up to 400 discs, this is for you. Look at 5 discs otherwise

Review: This DVD player gives off one immediate impression as soon as you see it. IT'S HUGE! The Player extends inches past the rear of the Receiver. I took my dvd collection, alphabetised it and then tossed them into the belly of the beast. I hit the load...

Pros: Read's all -R/+R formats without a hitch, even el-cheapo disc!

Cons: Auto Play wont shut off. Slow loading.

The Bottom Line: Buy it. Except for the couple down side's I explained in my post, this is a pretty good DVD jukebox. If you have home recorded DVDs, this will play it.

Review: I have wanted a DVD juke box ever since my Dad bought one of the first Sony 300 disc models. My problem was I wanted something that will read all of my -R disc's. Well, It here! The 995V has read every disc I threw at it. From cheap 4x -R's to the...
