  • Store and play 200 DVD/CD Discs!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 23, 2001
    Pros: It holds up to 200 DVD and or CD Dics!
    Cons: It is a large unit!

    Summary: 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. ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • What happened to the all-in-one remote?!?!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 23, 2001
    Pros: Convenient storage for CDs and DVDs, image quality & sound
    Cons: Be careful if using with a Sony receiver!!

    Summary: I purchased an ES series receiver with the 200 disc dvd/cd changer. The lower ES series receiver comes with a handy remote that (supposedly) controls all of Sony's products and many products from other manufacturers. What I didn't know was ... read more

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

    Summary: ... 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 ... read more

  • Big and beautiful

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 2, 2001
    Pros: Huge storage capacity
    Cons: Some interface problems

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 15, 2000
    Pros: great video & audio & component outs
    Cons: User unfriendly interface/Too bulky

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • It's definitely got the convenience factor

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 12, 2000
    Pros: Don't have to get off the Lazy Boy to change discs
    Cons: trying to remember where they all are

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Monster DVD Player from Sony

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 25, 2000
    Pros: 200 Disks, Component Out,
    Cons: DiscMemo feature

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • good machine with some drawbacks

    Aug 31, 2000
    Pros: good storage
    Cons: no CDrs, disc changing is difficult

    Summary: We bought this DVD player because of its ability to hold 200 CDs and/or DVDs. We got rid of our regular CD player and now use this as both our CD Player and DVD PLayer. It is great for that reason alone. There are a few drawbacks however. It is not ... read more

  • Not Just for the DVD's

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 27, 2000
    Pros: holds up to 200 CD/DVD
    Cons: will not play CD-R or RW media

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Aug 4, 2000
    Pros: Holds 200 DVD's and/or CD's!!
    Cons: Onscreen Navigation a little slow

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Awesome (But size is an issue)

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 12, 2000
    Pros: 200 CDs/DVDs. Awesome quality
    Cons: Size

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Got 200 DVD's? If not, don't bother.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 27, 2000
    Pros: 200 discs, 5.1 Analogue out
    Cons: 200 discs?! overpriced.

    Summary: 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, ... read more

  • Buy it - but read this first!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 2, 2000
    Pros: Convenient Sort method for DVDs
    Cons: User interface needs a little work

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Good and Bad

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 22, 2000
    Pros: Disc Capacity
    Cons: Controls

    Summary: I looked at a couple of different products and finally decided on this one because of the disc capacity. After getting it home and setup I too noticed the cumbersome controls used to enter the titles I guess I expected it to automatically grab all of the ... read more

  • A reason to buy 200 DVDs

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 21, 2000
    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • This DVD player sucks

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 20, 2000
    Pros: nice picture
    Cons: it's really, really big

    Summary: I thought that a DVD changer would be a great thing to have especially if it holds 200 dvd's. So when I found out that Sony was coming out with a DVD changer--not 5 or 6 discs, but 200, I was excited. So I went to pick one up when it was available for ... read more
