Sony DVPCX995V 400-Disc DVD Mega Changer/Player (2009 Model)
Keep It Simple
I've had my CX995V for a month and give it 5 stars for what it's best used for: conveniently storing and beautifully playing up to 400 DVDs.  Forget CDs.  The Sony CD carousels are much better for music CDs.  They negate much of the criticism leveled at the CX995V.  At $300 on Amazon, the CX995V is worth every penny for just your DVDs.  And forget displaying disc information, the Disk Explorer, folders, searching, sorting, etc., etc.  It is essential that you create a simple spreadsheet on your computer as you load your DVDs.  Disc number and title are really all that is needed.  Don't bother with entering disc information on the CX995V, with or without a keyboard, and the real danger of losing everything with a power dropout or Sony hiccup.  Using your spreadsheet and the DISC/AMS knob, you can dial up your DVD after powering up.  Press in the DISC/AMS knob and your DVD (eventually) begins to play.  Is that too much trouble to play a 2-hour movie?  I don't think so.  When you're finished viewing, just turn the power off.  Your movie will resume where you left off when you turn power on again.  Yes, it will start over automatically if you've gone to the end, but just push stop and use the DISC/AMS knob to dial up your next selection.  The only thing the remote is good for is to navigate around menus, pause, fast forward or reverse, etc while you're watching a movie.  Forget the myriad of other complicated, needless functions.  How difficult does it need to be to store, select,and play DVDs?  Just don't forget to make the spreadsheet!  I'm sure we're going to watch a lot more of our DVDs now that we don't have to go through stacks of boxes to find what we want, struggle with the \\"press here to not release\\", and try not to drop the DVD on the floor.    Update October 18, 2007  We've had our CX995V for 18 months now, and i haven't changed my opinion.  It's great.
