Sony DVP-CX985V 400 Disc Progressive DVD / SACD Player
A great device for the price
First what this is: it's a great device to easily store and retrieve your DVDs.  When reading the reviews here before I bought it I was concerned about the access speed.  This is not an issue if you simply maintain a list of the DVDs you have in the player.  The progressive scan picture is good and if you enter the slot number of a disc it quickly plays it.  This is what I wanted out of this player and it delivers.<br /><br />I also have a Sony 300 CD player and was concerned that the DVD remote control signals would interfere with the CD player (so that if I turned on the DVD player and wanted to play disc 4 that the CD player would also turn on and play disc 4).  This concern is unfounded and there's no overlap in the remote control signals (and if there were, the DVD remote has three settings that enable it to effectively use one of three different sets of commands to avoid this problem - a nice feature).<br /><br />I have had no problem with the 300 disc CD player so I am confident in the quality of Sony's DVD mega changer.<br /><br />One negative: when you stop watching a move, the DVD player only remembers the location where you stopped it for a single DVD and only if you don't turn off the DVD player.  In contrast, a 5 disc Sony player that I also have is great in that it remembers the location of where you last stopped 50 different DVDs - which enabled you to avoid having to watch the FBI warning and other nonesense everytime you put in a disc.<br /><br />I have not even tried to use the menu system to retrieve a disc (because of all of the negative comments that I've read), nor have I tried to enter data about the DVD's into the unit (I used a keyboard to enter data into my CD player and it was a pain, but the data was not lost even when power was lost for over an hour).  As mentioned above, the menu system can be avoided if you create a simple table with the slot number and DVD title.<br /><br />Overall, this does what I'm looking for and the price is great for what you get!t for what you get!
