This is one of the few products left that allows ...you to put most, if not all of your DVD'S where they can be immediately accessed. A few caveats. Make sure that it has had the firmware updated. When I first put my discs in it read less than half of 180. Second it is better if it comes with a remote. The replacements run 15 to 25, and they do the job, but aren't perfect. Lastly, even after the firmware update it didn't read all my DVD'S, one tv series it didn't read am entire season, but I've got over 150 ready to go. You can either use the internal virtual keyboard or plug in an old pc keyboard which allows you to put the name of the disc in the system. Takes time for those that don't load automatically, but it's worth it.

The Disc Explore feature is terrible on ...this model It does not allow you to use the up or down arrows to stroll for the DVD you are searching for. IT only allows you to use a number input to move around the Disc EXPLORER. If you do not know what slot you loaded it in GOOD LUCK. In my opinion the DVP-CX985 DISC EXPLORE 100% better. The only drawback with the DVP-CX985 is that there is no HDMI output but he compone outputs work fine for me.

SONY's "video juke box" has always been a b...it of a hassle to set up and use. It can take hours to manually type in disc titles that don't automatically read in - and most of them do NOT. But once you've got it all installed running, it's fun to pull up music, movies or photos on demand. That's were this product shines. I've had one of these since 2006, and when it finally gave up a few weeks ago I immediately replaced it. Glad to have my juke box back - but I'm STILL keying disc titles in manually.

I own 2 of these as well as a Sony 400 dis...c Blu ray player. These are awesome and amazing machines however, I have stopped using all of them because after approximately 5 years of use my primary dvd player I was using began to malfunction. It wasn't reading discs properly and some it wouldn't read at all. I figured the lens needed to be cleaned so I took all 400 discs out so I could move the unit to take the casing off and take it apart to clean the lens. During this process I found out somehow the player had cut crescent shape gouges into the play surface of approximately 135 of the discs. None of them with this gouge would play properly on any player anymore and many of them are hard to find and out of print. Use at your own risk.
