Advantages: 200 Disc loader, Great Picture, Nice Remote

Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, Not easily region hacked

Ok, you have 100s of CDs and DVDs, VCDs and you are fed up getting them out of the boxes and putting them in your DVD player - with the Sony DVP-CX850 you will never have to do it again - this DVD player has a carousel that will hold 200 DVD / CDs / VCDs.

You are also able to conveniently enter the names of each DVD/CD/VCD by connecting a standard PS2 keyboard to the front of the player, then you can easily read the names of your DVDs etc and choose from them in a menu list which appears.

It has a built in dolby digital decoder with outputs on the back it also supports DTS output!

It does not support CDRs but I have successfully got CDRWs working and these can be picked up at roughly £1 a disc.

It comes with a fully featured remote control and one of the coolest features is the onboard remote control jog shuttle which makes fast forwarding / rewinding / pausing a breeze.

The player can also be chipped to allow multi-regional playback and also macro vision removal - I have had mine chipped and it now plays everything and also allows me to output my DVD picture to a projector.

To load each DVD takes only about 8-10 seconds from the moment you choose the disc.
The player is slightly bulky and resembles the size of a very large amp.

If you are earning the megabucks then you could buy two of these babies, and link them together allowing a whopping 400 DVD changer!

If you are feeling lazy (like me) and you have a ot of DVDs give this player ago they can apparantly be picked up for about £350 chipped!

In my oppinion this is a cracker of a player, it looks the part and functions superbly, I will never part with it unless someone offers me mega bucks for it or gives me a player with more features and holds more DVDs!!!
