!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!
| The rumors are true. I have just found almost all 390 dvds in my player has been cut deeply with half moons. Some at the edge, some in the middle, and most multiple times. They have left actual curly plastic strips hanging off the dvd. I haven't tried to play them yet. Too scared of the heartbreak. I spent a lot of time collecting these. I have had 2 players for almost a year. I have experienced all the complaints in previous posts from both players. Including power loss in the middle of a movie occasionally. Poor menu, difficult remote, and most disappointing is the incompetent disc explorer function. Escient is making a fortune off this defect. My second player is not gouging discs yet, but how long do I wait? How often do I inspect all 400 in it? If it destroys one at a time, how long before I discover the problem? I was in love from the beginning with the capacity and DTS capability. Now, I cannot believe these are not being recalled. Why hasn't a class action lawsuit begun? It will cost me over $4000 to replace these. |

My Thoughts After Four Years
| I bought this unit at least four years ago (when it had a black case). I'm happy with it -- it never fails to play a selected DVD or CD, and the picture/sound quality is very good. Thr only drawback is Sony's "filing" system. It stinks. And it has lost data several times for no apparent reason, so I dont even use the filing feature anymore: Instead I developed a system using an MS Excel spreadsheet format to create two playlists, which I maintain on my PC, with printed copies near the Sony: The first Excel document is an alphabetized list by title, with the appropriate slot number in column #. The second Excel document is a numerical list by slot number, with the Title in Column 2, and comments (if any) in Column 3...Not a great way to maintain everything, but after I got it up and running, its been pretty easy to maintain it...Now that I'm close to using all 400 slots, I'm thinking of daisy-chaining another one. |

Outstanding DVD Changer
As others have said - your choices are rather limited when it comes to DVD changers these days, but this is definitely the choice to make! I have had the changer now for 11 months and have been nothing but happy with it. I just loaded my 350th disc into the changer and will likely purchase a second changer in the next few months.
