Pros: secures my collection
Cons: interface, defining and finding movies.
Summary: I agree with all the comments relative to the explorer and general organization/searching. How it could have passed sign off from upper management is a wonder to me. I have to keep a hardcopy list printed next to it so I don't have to spend 2 hours ...

Pros: Audio and Video quality are superb, attractive cosmetics
Cons: Horrible interface, aggrevating user control which makes you want to go postal, autodetect is useless
Summary: I am a movie geek. I have hundreds upon hundreds of movies. Getting this seemed like the best idea ever. Boy, was I wrong. Inserting 400 discs was easy. They fit nicely, although the unit is a bit deap (22 inches). A small dent in the loading bay ...

Pros: Holds all of my CDs and DVDs. Price.
Cons: Slow, poor user interface. Sick of listening to it move discs.
Summary: We've had this unit for a little over a year. The user interface to add all of the discs was tedious. I was surprised (since I didn't read the reviews here) how few of my CDs and DVDs it would recognize. My biggest complaint is how slow this unit is. ...

Pros: 400 disks
local controls on player - not only remote
Cons: terrible user interface
terrible remote
uneven image quality - frequent blocking of picture
slow
Summary: The CX985 is a great way to have quick access to 400 disks but with some serious drawbacks, most notably in ease of use and quality of playback. The standalone Sony does not interface with a PC or network for easy update of the disk info and has an ...

Pros: Price, Disc capacity, varied formats.
Cons: Access speed, Remote functionality, Unit size & Bulk.
Summary: O.k. This unit is reasonably priced. And can clear some serious shelf space, getting rid of all of your cases... but the functionality and speed of queing up movies is so poor, that I'm sorry I went this route. I purchased a Pioneer 300 CD player ...

Pros: Good capacity
Smooth operation
Good picture and sound
Cons: Remote
Data entry
Summary: I bought this unit a couple of weeks ago, having read lots of negative and positive comments. It was under $300. I agree with most of the cons that have been mentioned, however the thing neatly holds 400 discs and is the cheapest brand-name player in ...

Pros: Sleek Design. Holds 400 Discs.
Cons: Finding and Organizing Music AWFUL.
Summary: Lets say you were the first individual on the planet to invent a machine that would hold and play 400 DVD/CD's. Aside from quality sound and playback, what would be the most important feature for an electronic device that stores and plays 400 DVD/CD's or ...

Pros: $200 cheaper than the Pioneer. Progressive scan. Plays DVD+Rs.
Cons: Interface sucks. Huge.
Summary: Thanks to the dire warnings in reviews like these, I purchased this item with low expectations. I chose a local retailer instead of an online one because I knew I might want to return it. Got a floor model for $345, so I was satisfied with the price. ...

Pros: None
Cons: Scratches disks, poor cataloguing method
Summary: I got a Sony DVPCX985V DVD Player for Christmas and loaded my DVD collection and played a few movies over the holidays. I used the 'Disk Explorer' feature to catalogue my collection. This is an extremely poor interface as it has very few characters ...

Pros: Good value, silent operation, well made
Cons: Won't play Star Trek TNG DVDs properly.
Summary: I just got this player in and have found it has problems in playing/decoding my Star Trek The Next Generation DVDs(original discs). I made a backup copy and it still did the same thing. The problem is in between some scene changes the screen kinda ...

Pros: Progressive scan, good value, 400 discs
Cons: Disc lists and menus
Summary: I've just ordered my SECOND Sony DVP-CX985V because for the price, it's a remarkable player. I own the 300 disc predecessor from Sony as well and it's been relegated to the 'books on tape' audio archive. This player made some key upgrades e.g. ...

Pros: Holds LOTS of DVDs, great picture, great sound
Cons: 16 character title limit, cumbersome data entry
Summary: I have been slowly building up my DVD collection over the past few years, I have sworn to not buy and more VHS tapes if I can help it. So as you can imagine my entertainment center has slowly become a library of all the DVDs and things are getting hard ...

Pros: Looks impressive and plays video and music
Cons: Bad programming technology.
Summary: The DVP-CX985V looks good. The mechanics are ok. The DVP-CX985V is in a class of its own within the existing state of the art for the video/music industry. Unfortunately we are also in the computer era and the Sony designers have entered that realm ...

Pros: Price and Capacity
Cons: Has a Reading Disability
Summary: Pioneer and Sony make the only DVD jukeboxes available at this time. I've had a Sony DVP-CX985U for about a year and a Pioneer DV-F727 for about a month. This was a costly learning experience for me. The Sony has a major problem: It don't read so ...

Pros: Fast Disc Changing, decent playback, will play variety of formats.
Cons: Sluggish On-Screen Navigation System, remote, no position memory, way too big, heavy.
Summary: I recently purchased the DVP-CX985V Multi-disc DVD player. Two days later, it found legs and walked back to the store. The $400 price tag is too much considering all the flaws in this player. Awful On Sceen Navigation system that is sluggish, decent ...
