Sony DVP-CX850D Multi-disc DVD Player

Pros: plain and simple, it allows you to put 200 dvd's in one player
Cons: The player is too big for an average entertainment rack system.

The 200 dvd/cd changer is a lifesaver (actually spacesaver)! It lets you keep your dvd's all in one box and lets you select by title, disc #, or type of film. The disc explorer option makes it different from any other dvd player. It also has more...

Pros: 200 CDs/DVDs. Awesome quality
Cons: Size

I got one of these about a week ago. It is my first DVD player and I got it because I have a huge collection (150-170) of CDs. What this allowed me to do is retire my old CD player and replace it with the DVD. I simply put all of my CDs in there and...

Pros: 200 DVDs, Folders, Easy to use interface
Cons: Big, Interface is slow

I bought this DVD player when my collection was at about 50, thinking "It'll take forever to buy 150 more DVDs." Oh, how wrong was I? But, I'm not talking about that here.
The first thing I'll mention, which is the obvious feature, is that it...

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: Space saving, onscreen disc explorer, DTS sound
Cons: Entering titles and time to learn all the features

I waited for a year for Sony to bring out a 5 disc DVD player with DTS. When they did (DVP-C650D) they also brought out something I hadn't even dreamt about the 200 disc changer/player. Although the first one I got had a defective changer mechanism,...

Pros: holds up to 200 CD/DVD
Cons: will not play CD-R or RW media

Your discs just keep piling up. With a DVD/CD changer such as the Sony DVP-CX850D, you can store up to 200 discs in the player. All of your DVDs and CDs (or at least 200 of them) will be at your fingertips. No more sorting through your collection for...

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 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: The speaker management capabilities. The Video NR and adjustments. Title management on-screen. CONVENIENCE. Dolby Digital 5.1 descete outputs for a Dolby Digital ready receiver.
Cons: It's a bit big, but I made it fit in my stereo cabinet. Once I have 200 DVDs, I guess I will have to buy another DVP-CX850D.

I had a Toshiba DVD player with Dolby Digital output. I hooked my receiver up with 6 channel descrete(5.1) and turned it on. First thing I noticed was compatability problems with certain disc. Some would not play in Dolby Digital mode. Some would not...

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: Holds 200 DVD's and/or CD's!!
Cons: Onscreen Navigation a little slow

I only have about 50 DVD's right now, but what I love about this player is that I can put all of the DVD's in the changer, put the box in cold storage, and watch whatever I want whenever I want! I really saves a lot of shelf space. Do you know how much...

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: 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: 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...

Pros: Easy to use, organized, saves space
Cons: Small lag when scrolling through list of Disks in player.

I recently got this DVD Player for Christmas, and it definitely has some awesome features. First of all, it holds up to 200 DVD's, CD's, or Video CD's. This is very nice for anyone who has a large collection of Compact Disks (or DVD's or Video CD's)....
