Sony DVP-CX850D Multi-disc DVD Player

Pros: It holds up to 200 DVD and or CD Dics!
Cons: It is a large unit!

With this unit you do not need a CD player and a DVD player because it is both built in one with a library storage of 200 discs. I know all DVD players will play a CD but this one is especially made for both so you don’t need two units.

...

Pros: 200 DVD changer, sound
Cons: Picture, GUI, Remote

After my DVD collection hit 140, I decided to go out and buy a DVD changer that could handle this many DVD's. I decided to go with Sony's 200 DVD changer after having good luck with Sony products.

Needless to say, entering 200 discs and then...

Pros: 200 discs, 5.1 Analogue out
Cons: 200 discs?! overpriced.

First of all, for this thing to be of any real value you'll need 200 DVD's, and one hell of a memory. I have a 6-disc CD player in my car, and I forget which disc is after number 2 all the time. Now I have no Idea how I would ever figure out 200 DVD's,...

Pros: great video & audio & component outs
Cons: User unfriendly interface/Too bulky

I purchased this player about a month back for just shy of $500. We already owned a Toshiba DVD, and our collection of movies was growing to the point where my wife was tired of all the DVD cases accumulating in our apartment. I also wanted to upgrade...

Pros: 200 discs, disc memo, easy remote
Cons: kinda expensive

with this 200 disc cd / dvd mega changer, your entire digital entertainment collection is stored, organized and available for play at the touch of a button. No need to search through sleeves, storage books or jewel cases anymore. you can control a sony...

Pros: Huge storage capacity
Cons: Some interface problems

Being able to store an entire DVD/CD collection is cool, but it's pretty clear that the user interface is not yet mature. Many features work only in particular situations, which may not always be obvious. (e.g. it's far from obvious how to select a disk...

Pros: Convenient Sort method for DVDs
Cons: User interface needs a little work

Generally speaking I have usually had good luck with Sony Products but the Sony DVP-CX850D is not quite ready for "prime time." When I say that I am referring to the user interface more than anything else. The audio and video output quality...

Pros: ...Convenient Storage, Electrophiles will love it...
Cons: ... Poor interface, Complicated to use at first...

... The Sony DVP-CX850D is a great DVD player, once you can figure out how to use it. I pride myself on being technologically savvy... I never read the instruction manuals to figure out how to use things. I definitely met my match and then some...

Pros: Don't have to get off the Lazy Boy to change discs
Cons: trying to remember where they all are

Well, I was looking for a new DVD Player (you wouldn't believe what happens if you put a mini-pizza in a DVD player...but it made sense to my son until about 5 seconds after he did it) I figured I would buy a Sony. Are they the best? Yes. Are the...

Pros: Fingertip control of on-screen display, space saving
Cons: None

When I was shopping for a dvd player, I was looking for as many features as I could get for the money I was willing to spend. I also wanted a multi-disc changer.

When I found the Sony DVPCX850D, it was all I wanted and more. I have...

Pros: ease of connection of this combo unit
Cons: none

The Sony DVP-CX850D is excellent when it comes to the number of possibilities for home theater entertainment. I have my unit connected to a Sony STR-DE935 for a awesome five-channel home theater experience. The massive capacity allows you to keep all...

Pros: 200 Disks, Component Out,
Cons: DiscMemo feature

This is a review on the BIGGEST DVD player from Sony. This unit can fit a whopping 200 DVDs or CDs.

Needless to say, due to the capacity of the unit, this player not only delivers all the bells and whistles of a single disk player, but the...

Pros: Stores 200 discs, can organize them into folders
Cons: Hard to remove discs, price, having to type in titles

I recently started a home business which really took off at Christmas time this year, and I was able to buy this for my husband for Christmas. Wasn't he surprised?

He had been looking at multi-disc CD changers for over a year, and when I saw...

Pros: design makes sense
Cons: pricey

Sony has taken home theatre to a new level, integrating DVD-video into movie lover's home theater systems and included a built-in solution for storing extensive DVD and CD collections, too, with their DVP-CX850D -- a 200 DVD/CD changer that simplifies...

Pros: Works great
Cons: Confusing instruction manual

Functionally, this unit is great. The only problem is the instruction manual and the remote control. The manual is the worst written "guidebook" I have ever seen. Further, none of the controls or functions of the remote control are close to...
