I own two of these units, and love them!! They are everything that you would want from a blu-ray changer, and more. I found, through trial and error that the changers work at their best with the original firmware that came with it, and that the firmware update removes it’s viability and causes nothing but grief. When I received my first changer, I loaded all of my discs. Everything worked perfectly. Even Gracenote found all but two of my 400 discs. Then I made the mistake of ‘upgrading’ the firmware. To my chegrin, 75% of my discs now came back “Invalid Disc”. I managed to restore the original firmware, and voila, all of my discs were once again recognized.
I have read most of the reviews posted on Amazon for this unit. Many of them seem to be written in anger and haste and may be tainted by the writer because of this. To believe that the changer destroys discs is nonsense. If the reader inside of it destoyed 1 disc, then it would destroy all of them. Also, regarding Gracenote, if the description, or icon does not say what you expected, ‘Load’ that disc again. Gracenote will usually put up a menu with multiple choices for that disc. Pick the appropiate one.
I was so satisfied with my first unit, that I bought a second one. I have split my blu-ray discs so that unit #1 contains titles starting with ‘A-O’, and unit #2 contains ‘P-Z’. Both are hooked up to the internet, and both work carefree, perfectly.

Excellent quality, easy to use. Gracenotes initially identified 198 of 200 discs completed, in actuality only identified about 185, leaving us to input the remainder manually. Still, a great feature and will still buy this product for it.

This 400 disc player is a vast improvement, I had Sony’s previous model the DVP-CX985V and it has nothing on this model. First of all the GUI is ten times better, the way the movies are displayed. You can sort & group movies better and easier. Being able to connect to the internet for automatic Gracenote access when you put in a movie for the titles & picture display is the best thing they could have ever done. All your movie titles are listed on the main screen instead of like previous models having to go through folders. The “rental slot” button is another great additon, push this button and it automatically goes to slot 1 everytime for rentals or borrowed movies. The picture quality is great and the sound is excellent, no complaints there. The only downside is disc access time is still a little slow. Also, the unit is pretty bulky so you need a good size shelf or cabinet for it.

I’ve owned two of Sony’s 400 disc DVD mega changers (DVP-CX995V) since they came out about five years ago, and I really love them. You just can’t beat the convenience of being able to browse your DVD library using a remote.
The only thing that I regretted when I made the leap to Hi Def discs a few years ago was giving up the convenience of being able to put my discs in a mega changer. So naturally I jumped at the opportunity to purchase one of these Blu-ray mega changers as soon as I found one for a reasonable price.
The only thing that I’m disappointed with this device is the size. It’s 2″ higher and 1″ deeper than its predecessor. This may not sound like much but it makes a big difference. It’s quite a bit heavier too.
A notable improvement to this model over the previous one is the ability to download disc information via an Internet connection (from the Gracenote database). This worked well for me as 54 of the 55 Blu-ray discs that I inserted were found and catalogued. I wasn’t crazy about some of the genres that Gracenote assigned but fortunately I was able to change them. I was also able to tweak disc titles as desired.
When you do have to input disc information manually, it’s tedious. The remote uses a cell phone keypad texting paradigm and that’s not bad (and quite an improvement over the previous model), but this is just not the kind of data entry that lends itself to a remote. What’s really needed is USB keyboard support. The previous model supported a keyboard. And while it was essential for imputing information into the previous model (there was no Internet connection so almost all information had to be manually entered), it would still be nice to be able to use a keyboard with this model too.
The box art in the GUI is cool. Sure, it would be better if it was larger (such as with a Netflix player) but still, it’s pretty cool.
I like that the changer remembers how you last sorted the discs even after it’s powered off. I like to leave mine sorted by genre and then title.
My last nit is with the Blu-ray format itself. Why do some discs load so agonizingly slowly? (I’ve had a couple of other Blu-ray players so I know that it isn’t a problem with this one.) Why do some discs block the changer from resuming play where you left off? It’s not a good thing when copyright protection gets in the way of the viewing experience. And if you ask me, HD DVD was a superior format. It’s too bad that there won’t be a mega changer that incorporates Blu-ray and HD DVD.
All in all, this is a great upgrade from the previous DVD model and is an excellent addition to my home theater system.

Well, I have received and installed my new Sony BCD-CX960 Blue Ray Carousel, and it has brought some heartache along with it. I will start with the bad first, this is a big animal, even with my huge Ethan Allen AV cabinet, it still won¡¦t allow me to close the front top door, (which is the only place it would somewhat fit). I like the simple setup and the Ethernet options, but the Gracenote is not able to resolve my DVD copies, even those with a complete disk copy, and not just the movie. I inserted 250+ DVDs and about 50 Blue Ray DVDs, and of those about 30 are copies from the original which did NOT auto recognize by Gracenote.
The configuration of the names in a manual mode is a bit quirky, but workable, only you cannot attach an ICON for the file, so it just shows a grey DVD disk instead. The manual indicated you could set the Genre for the input DVDs, but I was not able to do so, and now they are listed as separate movies and not grouped with the others. I also see no way to add additional comments to the DVD such as Gracenote does for Actor, Director, etc. Lastly the ICONs are very small, even on a 55¡¨ Flat Screen TV, which make them next to impossible to really see or read.
Another note, I am using a Logitech Harmony 1000 controller for my system, and it is a bit awkward to work, so I am keeping the original controller handy¡K
On the good side, the unit is faster than I would have thought, and loading and unloading is very easy. The Rental slot #1 is a neat idea, and works well. The Gracenote recognition when it works is fairly nice, although I did get titles which had nothing to do with the movie, and instead indicated a series and a collectors set name with the Director¡K? The ease of use once I figured the menu system is straight forward and the sorting is very nice with all the different options. I do wish that you could override the grouping, and possibly you can, and I have just not figured it out yet.
I really like the automatic update feature for the firmware, it is nice it tells me it can be upgraded when an upgrade becomes available, and it is easy to do º
For the price I am not sure this is a great deal, I do like the unit despite its size, and hope a future firmware release will improve so minor misses¡K
On my scale it is a 4.5 of 5
