Sony DVP-CX985V 400 Disc Progressive DVD / SACD Player
Very hopeful when I bought it!
I purchased this unit about 6 months ago.  It was simple enough to hook up.  I then filled the unit with 100+ DVD's and the rest with CD's.  I allowed the unit to scan all the DVD's and CD's.  I was not impressed that out of 100 DVD's it only recognized about 4, yes only 4.  <br /> <br />I began programming the titles however was limited to just a few characters per title that could not handle most of the movie titles.  After about 2 hours of painful work, I decided to go to my computer and type out an excel spreadsheet.  I alphabetized the entire list.  I now just have to pull out the spreadsheet to determine which CD or DVD I want to watch. <br /> <br />This brings me to the next issue.  Let's say you are on the couch and just decided to play the DVD in position 102.  On the remote there is no way to just type in position 102 and have the unit advance to that position.  You have to hold a tiny button down and allow it to advance step by step. <br /> <br />Another issue is the remote has so many tiny buttons.  The worst positioning is for the volume control and the disk change buttons which are set up one over the other.  If you accidentally hit the + sign instead of lowering the volume in the dark, you have just ruined the entire viewing experience for the audience as you have just stopped your movie and went to the next DVD. <br /> <br />Another issue is although I have this feature turned off in the software, each time I turn the unit on or change to a new disk location the unit automatically begins to play the DVD or CD in that position. <br /> <br />It is nice that I get to store all my CD's and DVD's in a place where they are readily available.  However, there is computer software out there that Sony should take a look at before it releases a new model. <br /> <br />I could not recommend purchasing this unit unless you are not interested in the software portion.
