Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are two different types of people who will buy this machine: those who need somewhere to store their discs and those who will fill the machine up and continue to periodically swap discs in and out of the player. I am the latter. Knowing that, here are my pros and cons to this unit...
CONS - I have one major gripe: The CD insert booklet, or rather the lack thereof. A few years back, I bought the Sony 200-disc changer. One of my favorite things about it was the two booklets which came in the box. You stick numbers on the clear plastic slots to correspond with the same numbered slots in the actual player, then you slide the insert from the CD's jewel case into the booklet. This gives you quick access to finding out what cd's are in which slots. THERE ARE NO CD INSERT BOOKLETS INCLUDED WITH THIS PLAYER! Oh, that made me mad! Maybe it's just me, but I need those booklets. I called Sony to gripe. Their stance is that all the Mega-Changers come with the new indexing feature, so one can type the cd title right on the unit's display. No need for the booklets, right? Okay, so can a person type all the lyrics to songs on the display? No. Can one transfer the CD cover art onto the digital display? No. Like I said, maybe it's me.
PROS - I put these after the Cons, because the Pros greatly outweigh the Cons. First, there is that indexing feature I mentioned above. Now, I wasn't bashing this feature, just the lack of the CD booklets. There are different ways of indexing the CD's, by artist, title, groups, etc. It may take a little bit of time to type this stuff in, but for the person who uses this player as a storage unit, it may just be worth it. You can store your favorite songs, and even delete the songs you hate. And, contrary to one of the other reviews, if the power goes out, Sony has assured me that it has to be out for at least 30 days for the unit to forget what you programmed.
There are other cool features as well, such as the X-Fade button, which fades the song out which you are listening to instead of just cutting it off. I have only owned the CDP-CX400 for two days, but i can't wait to play around with it more. And, oh the joy of filling it up with 400 discs and pressing "Shuffle"!!!!
So, whether you are a serious collector or just want somewhere to store your 400 discs, I recommend buying this machine. I also recommened buying some kind of extended warranty, as there will be plenty of motor use put into this unit. But if, like me, you LOVE those cd-insert booklets, be prepared to give Sony about $20 for just one of them.
