Re: DVP-CX850D

I've had mine since xmas. The player is pretty good. Picture quality and sounds are comparable to my panasonic A310. The changer function is handy that's for sure. In my opinion, there is only 1 bad thing about it. The user interface is crap. By crap, I don't just mean not nice. I really mean crap. It's slow for a start. Searching is impossible. Although you can have 4 catagories, it's not worth it. I cheated an programmed my DVD list onto my philips pronto and now use that, so I don't have to worry about the Sony user interface.

Also, it doesn't work with slink-e/cdj. There is something in the 'compatible players list' on this site.

I'm getting close to 200 discs in it now, and am considering what to do next. Do I buy another one, daisy chain them together. But that causes problems in it's own right as it doesn't passthru the picture and sound, so I'll need to free up a TV and amp connection.
