Sony DVP-CX860 300+1 DVD/CD Changing Player
Great DVD player, but...
I also cannot understand why this machine insists on loading a disc when you start it up. It also likes to drop the one you had in the easy slot (the 'plus one' slot) into other available slots, and I have to go looking for it. Also, as far as a CD mega changer, it is a joke. It does not do what a Sony mega-changer was meant to. All it can do, is 'control' another mega changer (meaning play what is on the other changer), but not cross fade, no-delay play, etc. It is missing ALL of these features. It took about 2+ hours on the phone before I had the Sony tech's admitting that it does not do this. It cannot be changed to CD2 or 3, the other cd changer must be changed, and it is only CD1 that is capable of full featured 'mega-control' in Sony's scheme. Since this must be CD1, and it is not capable, there is no way to hook another mega-changer up with this together and play back and forth between the changers, with no delay, or cross fade. Also, its menu system for storing, listing, and finding titles, is tediously slow.<BR>However, as far as a DVD player, it does VERY well. I have a 9ft diag (Sony) HD front projection screen, which shows small defects in reproduction like a small screen just can not. This player gives excellent results, and gives plenty of room to store your DVD's as well. The capability of 'flipping' a disc and playing the other side is an added bonus.<BR>My recommendation, buy this for a DVD changer, not a combo DVD/CD megachanger.
