I would have given this review 0 stars if that rating had been available. I purchased this model to replace a 5 year old Sony cd changer. When I was looking for dvd players, I was hellbent on buying a sony because of the flawless performance my old changer had given me. I quickly found out that Sony's quality has apparently taken a severe backslide. As other reviewers have mentioned, my changer would power down after 1-20 minutes of playing music cds. This progressively got worse, extending to the dvd functions. The last straw was when it shut down twice during 1 movie. The DVD function was horrible, in the 16 months I owned it, I was not able to watch a single rented movie on it without it getting hung up. If you think you might want to purchase this DVD/CD changer, find a hammer, hit yourself on the head, then run the other direction!!! I am currently searching for a new DVD player & I assure you it will NOT be a Sony!

pros: sony quality, supposed to be the best at playing damaged discs, instant replay feature

cons: no zoom button, doesnt play mp3s, remote is awkwardly laid out

I recently had to replace an older DVD player and found that this one has all the features I could want. This model does not have all of the fancy Pro-Logic effects that many models now have, but as long as you have a newer reciever, those options should already be available. No need to pay for something you don't need.

The disk changer drawer struggles to open and close. When it does open, and I insert a disk and close the drawer, it just spins the table and then opens the drawer again. There are no error messages displayed on the screen, and there are no loose disks stuck in the machine. I searched the net for any clues to this problem, and found nothing other than a tech bulletin referring to some "recall" corrections. The Sony Web site was useless. Purchased in May, 2002, and it is not a "high use" system. Enjoyed it until now, but I expect better reliability of this equip.

I should have known when there were two addresses on the box. Only came with the remote. no instructions. didn't need them anyqay, since only one disc worked. And that didn't really matter, because you couldn;t funtion it up or down for the menu. Having post traumatic syndrom, and agorophobia, my only pleasures are my cat, and my movies. This has not helped my deppression in the least. I very rarely trust people. This is why. I really couldn't afford this, but thought I'd splurge what inheritence I recieved on a few movies, and this.
