 LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP! July 14, 2007
20 out of 31 found this review helpful
This player has a major flaw. If you're like me, you were probably hoping to use this unit to replace both a cd player and dvd player. However, this player won't allow you to shuffle discs. You can shuffle tracks on an individual cd, but that's it. If I knew how retarded this player was I would have gone with something else. What's the point of the carousal? Now I have to have two large components if I want shuffle play, or sell this one and buy something else. Sony really dropped the ball on this one.
 What's the point of 5-disc capacity if it won't shuffle between discs? May 30, 2007

Audio and video are great, but it won't randomly shuffle between discs. If you're playing a CD, it will randomize the tracks on one disc but won't move on to another disc until all tracks of the first are played.
OK but not long-lived December 6, 2006

This is the ultimate in planned obsolescence. These are SLOW and eventually will fail to load even a new DVD. The unit will display "Loading" ad infinitum. (Yes, I've cleaned the lens)
Used to be that you bought a piece of electronic gear and it would last for three years or more. I have a Pioneer 60" Projection TV that is running fine after 10 years. On the other hand, I've been through three of these players. At the price, DVD players are just about disposable and that is what I'd call this unit.
Two units I purchased lasted only 3 months and the third one about six. Covered by warranty you say? Well, who wants to wait weeks to have the unit repaired or replaced? SONY is not the company they used to be. Never another.
 Good value, BUT does NOT play SACDs September 25, 2006
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
Video and stereo sound is great from this unit. No complaints there. BUT if you are looking for a SACD player this is not it.
This player does NOT play SACDs as they are intended to be played. It plays them techincally as a simple two-channel CD. However, almost all regular CD/DVD players will play SACD in this manner and they do not mislead the consumer by advertising it plays SACDs.
Unfortunately, this unit does not access the information from the HD layer of the SACD which is what includes the 5 channel sound mix. So yes this is a great system that I would recommend if you want it for movie watching and/or stereo CD listening (and even without SACD playability it is a good value as priced now). BUT do not get this expecting to play your new collection of SACD in multi channel format as they were intended to be listened to. The manual only mention of SACDs is that it explicitly states that the unit does not play the HD layer of Super Audio CDs. No where on the unit, box nor manual does it present the SACD-compatible logo. Shame on Sony for their marketing (sonystyle has the same listing as Amazon). I have contacted Amazon to change the technical specs and title of unit.
So-so DVD changer from Sony. November 23, 2006
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
This is a pretty average DVD player. It does what it's supposed to and has some smart features, but at the same time, its performance is sub-par at this price range, in my opinion.
Pros:
1. Sleek design.
2. You can keep watching one DVD while loading/removing others.
3. It resumes the playback from the spot you stopped, even after the unit has been turned off (up to 6 discs).
4. Pushing 'PLAY' on remote will turn on the unit.
5. I was able to play back most of the disc formats advertised (haven't tried them all) without any issues.
6. Intuitive navigation through pretty comprehensive menu.
Cons:
1. Slow disc load time.
2. Weak 'COAXIAL' audio output.
3. Not the greatest picture quality. (Using the component connection, I actually got worse picture than from my 4-year old $30 Memorex player. HDMI connection improved the picture only slightly).
4. As with any other changers, has big footprint.
5. Front panel display is somewhat dim.
