Sony MegaStorage® CDP-CX355 300-Disc CD Changer / Player

Pros: Outstanding access to your music.
Ability to create categories.
Deleting tracks you don't like.
Cons: Time getting all of your CDs loaded but fun to reacquaint yourself with your CDs.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this unit after reading some of the reviews about problems with CDs skipping or even not playing in some cases.  I did encounter this problem a few times but the cause and the solution were very obvious.  The ...

Pros: Great way to store and organize your CD Collection. Disc labeling.
Cons: All of those empty "Jewel" boxes. Display-Front Panel hard to read unless at eye-level.

Sony 300 Disc Capacity CD Player - Sony Model CDP-CX355 This was just what our home needed; a device that could let us Organize, Preserve and Play Compact Discs of any Age, Era, Genre and, Condition. There were dozens of CDs scattered around and it ...

Pros: It says SONY on it, for whatever that is worth these days.
Cons: Static noise from speakers, discs skip and get damaged.

Whatever you do in your life - do NOT buy this product! This is the worst CD player I have ever owned, and I bought my first CD player in 1988. I bought this to replace a Kenwood 200 CD changer (which I bought in 1998) because I wanted the optical ...

Pros: Carousel 300 disc capacity PS/2 keybd jack
Cons: Inferior quality/doesn't last Skips/chews up/ruins CDs

I say that not because of the quality of this player but simply b/c there is no other manufacturer out there offering a 300 or above disc carousel compact disc juke. And because of that simple fact, Sony has the monopoly on the equipment. The ...

Pros: Keeps one from constantly getting up to change disk.
Cons: 13 character labeling limit

I've been using a Pioneer PD-M455 6 disk changer for more than a decade now. This past Xmas Santa was good to me, of course I'm always good to me, and bought me the CX355. Now instead of interchanging two six disk changers I just sit back, push shuffle ...

Pros: Clear sound after purchasing the optical cable
Cons: static sound with analog cables and skips and jumps randomly through CD's

I bought this player as a replacement to a similar Sony 300 disc changer I owned for four years before it stopped picking the CD's out of the turnstyle. Well the new model began randomly jumping from track to track in the beginning, middle and end of ...

Pros: Great for parties, set it up, it will play for hours and hours.
Cons: A larger internal memory for an internal database would be nice.

Juke boxes have come a long way since those large 45rpm machines in restaurants. Anyone who has more than 5 Cds should consider one these. It has a remoter control, will play in sequential, random order or user pre-defined list. It will display the name ...

Pros: Easy to use, holds 300 CDs, hasn't skipped so far
Cons: Physically large, no MPs or DVD capability

Probably the best $200 we have spent - it holds 300 CDs and lets you enter the titles with a PC keyboard. Getting all 250 of our CDs out of storage boxes and loaded has let us really enjoy our music collection. If we get more CDs we have the option of ...

Pros: The group feature is handy in ways I had not envisioned.
Cons: The 8 sub groups is a bit less than what is really needed

The unit although not my dream answer is fantastic at what it does. The 8 sub groups is a bit less than what is really needed but it can be lived with. As for the skipping issues I have had none but I keep my CD's like I kept my albums. clean and ...

Pros: Plays alot of cds in organized fashion. good sound, good price
Cons: Can malfunction and mash your cds. Can be fussy.

This isn't a bad player, it's really nice theoretically and very affordable for all the features. U ...

Pros: Potential to organise your CD collection
Cons: Drives you mad by failing too often to play some CDs

This is a CD player which looked like a dream in the shop. Reasonable price and the ability to hand ...

Pros: I love the look and concept of this machine.
Cons: The playback begin to "wow" about 2 months after purchase. Again at 4 months.

I purchased this product from a local electronics store (Pacific Sales). For the time I had it, I only put in 5 CD's and playback was great...I just haven't had time to truly test it. The point of this review is to inform readers of Sony's warranty resp ...

Pros: great price with a fair amount of cool features
Cons: leaves little scratches from mechanism grabbing the edges of your discs.

The other review goes into great detail about the features of this machine. It IS a very cool machin ...

Pros: Holds a lot of discs, easy to use group system
Cons: Too slow in shuffle mode, too large

As you would expect, Sony didn't lie. This CD player does hold 300 cds. Amazing.
It's easy to figure out. It even has a handy-dandy keyboard input jack so you can label your cds with ease.
unfortunately, if you label a Coltrane cd in slot 123...

Pros: easy use and many features
Cons: bit large for cabinet or bookshelf and slow changing in shuffle mode

Just recently upgraded my entire stereo system and was looking for a juke box type CD changer. Was a bit worried about the SONY CDP CX355 based on some reviews. But, so far so good. No problems to report. I really love having my 160 or so CD's cued...
