Meet the KING of Megachangers!

by henry_thoreau henry_thoreau is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 30 '01
Pros: Can search/select/play titles with TV and 2-way LCD remote.
Cons: "Linking" a second unit involves several compromises (albeit ultimately tolerable ones).
UPDATE, 8/23/02: Unfortunately, today my venerable "slave" CX450's right channel inexplicably quit functioning (i.e., there’s no sound from the right speaker). Now that that unit's "out of warranty," I could, of course, pay a big ...

Pros: Volume! Fantastic remote control!
Cons: None
So you've managed to accumulate several hundred compact discs over the years and you looking for a way to always have your music at your fingertips. Well look no further than Sony's CDP-CX450.

A Mega-Headache

by sirdrake , Sep 15 '02
Pros: CD-Text, 2-way Remote, Disc Groups
Cons: Poor Quality, Large and Bulky cabinet
First, I would like to say that I am not a fan of Sony products. I have been burned in the past by the poor quality of some of their products and this player is no exception.
My wife and I decided we should purchase a Mega-disc changer for our CD...

Didn't get this quite right

by wyverndude , Jul 03 '02
Pros: Huge capacity! Good user interface.
Cons: Huge! 2-way remote is pointless.
Other reviews have done a good job covering most of the most important points, so I will concentrate on the one thing that drove me to frustration and finally to return this player; and that is the two-way remote.

For starters, I have to say,...

Wanna a good 400 disc cd-changer and a nifty remote?

by pacaldwe , Jan 31 '02
Pros: It actually holds 400 disc, cool remote, tv output
Cons: Bulky, disc-memo system can be improved
As a long-time customer of Sony products, I decided to continue the tradition when I wanted to get a CD changer. Although I normally buy ES (Elevated Standard) components, since the 400-disc ES CD changer with two-way LCD remote was almost twice the...

Among the better

by poorvesh , Apr 03 '01
Pros: Holds 400 CDs, can read CD-Text, and
Cons: Only 200 artist names, doesn't remember CD Names, and too much emphasis on remote.
When you buy a product like this, what you have to remember is that you can only compare and contrast the product to what is out there, not what you think should be out there. The fact of the matter is that none of the CD jukeboxes out there have the...

Holds 400 and Expands!

by encinitaskid , Dec 05 '01
Pros: Keep CD collection all together- forget about sorting through jewel boxes
Cons: Most tracks aren't named, Block assignment is limited
I have a lot of CDs. I used to have jewel boxes all stacked up in various areas around my 5-disc changer. I'd always forget to put the CDs back in the box, and then I'd get a stack of CDs just waiting to be knocked over so that they could get all...

Convenient storage and play with a few bugs

by kwoodcox , Mar 21 '05
Pros: Store CDs safely and compactly, great features.
Cons: Prone to problems, very deep footprint
We've had this changer for 3 years now. We bought it because we have a lot of CDs from many different genres and we needed to store them more conveniently. Also, we have 4 children, and this unit is basically a juke box and prevents them from handling ...

But is 400 disks enough?

by chenzo , Jan 02 '01
Pros: Text search, two way remote
Cons: a bit on the expensive side
The biggest reason to buy this for me was convenience. The ability to select by text from the remote is most impressive. TThe “two way” remote displays the titles (and tracks)you have in the machine. Plus there is the ability to organize and classify...

by bta212 , Jun 21 '03
Pros: Listen to those CD's you forgot you had. Enjoy constant variety of music.
Cons: The remote is a bit complicated The unit is bulky.
I'm largely in agreement with the positive reviews already logged about the CX-450. I tossed my jew ...

Sony CDP-CX450

by rayrae , Feb 27 '02
Pros: Bought my CDP-CX450 about a year ago. Great not having to open/store jewel boxes.
Cons: Remote control can get real frustrating. The user's guide is confusing.
Got my Sony CDP-450 over a year ago. Love it. No more messing with jewel cases.

One problem I found. Be VERY careful if you have to move the player. The instructions say you should remove all 400 discs if you move it. I didn't.....they...

by dugemac , Oct 26 '01
Pros: 400 cd storage!!
Cons: too long for my entertainment center
I bought my player 2nd hand from a retail store, actually it was repoed...for $289. I couldn't believe the deal. When i got it home i realized it was too long for my e-center, but i just cut a hole big enough for it. So i started loading my cds. i...
