CNET reviews the Sony DVP-CX995V and here’s what they say: “Unlike in most other consumer-electronics categories, not much has changed in the world of high-capacity disc changers since we reviewed Sony’s DVP-CX985V. Pioneer still gives Sony some competition, but if you’re flipping through a Crutchfield magazine or browsing at Circuit City, you’re much more likely to run into Sony’s updated megachanger, the DVP-CX995V.
Designed for those with large DVD and CD collections, the Sony DVP-CX995V can hold a whopping 400 discs with its large carousel design. The most significant update is the addition of an upscaling HDMI output, through which the player can output not only standard 480p but also 720p and 1080i high-def resolutions. Overall, the DVP-CX995V gets the job done well, but you’ll have to put up with a couple of frustrating operational quirks along the way.
The first thing you’ll notice about the Sony DVP-CX995V is its enormous size. It measures 7.5 by 17 by 21.5 inches, so you’ll need plenty of room on your shelf, especially depth. Make sure to leave an inch or two of space for the protruding power supply in the back. Still, we can’t complain too much about the size; 400 discs take up a lot of volume, no matter how you organize them.”
