Pros: Sleek Design. Holds 400 Discs.
Cons: Finding and Organizing Music AWFUL.

Cons: Terrible user interface, no single DVD slot, mindless remote, size

I have been using a 300 disc Pioneer DV-F727 for the last 3 years. I love it! However, it is not progressive scan, and I am about to run out of space, so I was excited to see Sony come out with a 400 disc progressive scan model. My excitement ...

Pros: Lots of space for discs plus MP3 playback. SACD implementation very good for midline player.
Cons: Lousy remote. Poorly implemented search function. Noisy. No scan!

I purchased this unit earlier this summer and refrained from commenting on it with the hope that use would take the edge off my initial impressions. No such luck... Present audio/video components include: Denon AVR 3803 (retired Denon 3300 and ...

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.

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 ...

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

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: Many connection options, easy to use and set up
Cons: Indexing system needs a lot of work to be completely user friendly

I recently purchased the Sony DVP-CX985V Multi-disc DVD player as a housewarming gift for myself. The master plan was to place all my DVDs and some of my CDs in the unit to use as a jukebox for my whole house audio/video system. It does do that for me ...

Pros: Goes from one dvd to another quickly.
Cons: 22 inches deep. Bright blue light inside shines out and has no function.

My only regret is not getting it sooner! At the time of purchase (yesterday) I had about 160 DVD's that were watched an average of 1.1 times in their lives because it is a pain to stand there swapping out DVD's in the single DVD player. This thing set ...

Pros: $200 cheaper than the Pioneer. Progressive scan. Plays DVD+Rs.
Cons: Interface sucks. Huge.

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. ...

Cons: 16 character title limit, cumbersome data entry

Cons: User Interface is slow, labeling disks is frustratingly slow

Having over 300 DVDs in my collection, I was looking for a unit that could hold all my DVDs for quick access. I have owned two CD-only changers previously - a 300 disk Pioneer unit and a 400 disk Sony Changer unit. I still have the Sony CD Changer for ...

Pros: It holds 400 discs and the advertised sound and picture attributes are truly impressive!
Cons: Inane disc filing/sorting system, limited text editing capabilities, cumbersome remote required access to use.

I'll bypass all the wonders as described by the other exceptional spec reviews previously posted and cut right to the chase. All pure video and audio needs of the average Home Theater Enthusiast are more than met in this hefty little $400 unit. ...

Pros: Looks impressive and plays video and music
Cons: Bad programming technology.

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: Good value, silent operation, well made
Cons: Won't play Star Trek TNG DVDs properly.

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 ...
