The Next-best Megachanger Available

18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great 400-disc capacity. Numerous programming & playback modes. Keyboard input capability.
Cons Remote is nowhere near as powerful or satisfying at that of the CDP-CX450. No TV-display.
Recommended it? No

I bought and briefly owned this unit. My intention had been to "link" it into my existing Sony CDP-CX450; I figured that since the latter already came with its amazing 2-way LCD remote and TV-display capability, all I needed next was just this cheaper CDP-CX400, and then all its data would be...

Wonderful for lots of CDs

Pros Almost limitless storage
Cons Couldn't they automate the loading process?
Recommended it? Yes

I do get talked into doing things for my mom. As I am 'on the net' I have become the Shell Answer Man for all of my mom's technical questions, even if it is way outside my sphere of knowledge. I am NOT a stereo expert, yet I got dragged into helping my mom select speakers to replace the ancient... Read full review »

Pros Capacity, sound, Slink control bus.
Cons Size, clumsy interface.
Recommended it? Yes

Before buying a pair of these players I owned a pair of Pioneer PD-F19's. I was running out of space in the Pioneers and needed to get more storage, which meant that I needed to get the largest capacity changers I could. Thus my purchase of a pair of these units.

Fill it up, program it, turn it on and let it play!

Pros Fantastic Bargain for the $.
Cons Should have PC- based software
Recommended it? Yes

I've got two of these and I love not having to load and unload a CD player. 800 CDs can play for a really long time and, if you take the time to program your CD correctly, you have a lot of versatility in how they play. You wouldn't even need to do this if (when - I'm sure it will eventually happen... Read full review »

Never get up to change another CD again

bypuskarich Nov 16, 2000

Pros Several ways to sort and categorize your CDs
Cons This thing is HUGE!!!!!
Recommended it? Yes

When I was in college, I was in awe over the Sony 100 CD changer. However, I was a poor college boy at the time and was more worried about raising enough money to party on the weekend than I was springing a few hundred dollars on a CD player. Over the years, I looked at the Sony 200 and then the... Read full review »

A great CD changer

byshadow194 Jun 20, 2001
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great way to organize medium to semi-large CD collections.
Cons Deep chassis made cabinet fit interesting, but workable.
Recommended it? Yes

I am very fond of this unit. It really helped me to organize my 350+ CD collection.

Loading could be somewhat easier, but is not difficult. I have read comments that these units force you to handle (mishandle) the CDs more. This depends on how often you plan on taking the CDs in/out of... Read full review »

For the price, a real bargain

Pros Huge storage
Cons Needs a deep shelf
Recommended it? Yes

I have over 400 CDs, and I never listen to a lot of them. I bought this changer to solve that problem, and I'm very happy with it.

It took two evenings to fill it up (make sure you have a PC keyboard handy!) but once that is done it is a great device - just hit shuffle, and you will hear... Read full review »

Invest time to save time!

Pros Lots of storage for less than the price of storing those jewel cases.
Cons Long search time.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this because I was looking for storage for my CD collection. It quickly became clear that it would cost about $1 per CD. Then I happened to look into this thing...

This changer takes a lot of time to load. And then title. So there are substantial up front costs.

But... Read full review »

Not without faults

Pros Huge capacity, good sound quality
Cons Poor interface, slow disc changes
Recommended it? Yes

Overview

We purchased a CDP-CX400 as a replacement for an old 5-disc magazine player. We wanted to keep our CD cases out of reach of our toddler, and this fit the bill better than a large, enclosed CD rack.

Loading Experience

This unit allows you to hook up a standard... Read full review »

2 Changers are fun, but quirky

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Capacity, cross-fade and shuffle, durability
Cons Big; flakey and difficult data input; no computer/Internet interface
Recommended it? Yes

OK, it has been a long time since these came out, and I doubt anyone will ever read this review, but here goes anyway. I really have enjoyed these two beasts (and they ARE big) over the years. They are now about 80% full of CDs. It has always been a hassle to input artists/titles and assign them... Read full review »
