The Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer was created for the extensive CD collections of music enthusiasts and avid CD listeners alike. The unit also features CD-R/RW playback, so that custom music mixes burned to a CD-R/RW can also be played. An optical digital output is included for connection to a digital recording device such as a CD-R/RW or Mini Disc.
Features on the CDP-CX355 include twin jog dials for easy disc access, and CD Text will display with CDs that support the feature. The unit also has A1II Mega Changer control, an upgradable protocol for remote control of another suitably equipped player, two repeat modes (disc or track), and 32 step program play, providing all the tools needed to organize a CD collection.
A rear panel audio input allows a second CD player to be connected to the CDP-CX355 and a Custom File feature remembers 32 favorite songs, ready for instant access no matter what disc they're on.

First thing you will notice about this CD changer is how very large it is; it has to be large to hold 300 CD's. The actual dimensions are: 7 5/8"H x 17"W x 19 1/8"D (depth is from big knob on from to box-like extrusion on back). After you get past its size, you will notice its fine qualities. This piece of audio equipment holds 300 CD's, it sounds extremely good, it looks very good. I like the feature on the front where I can plug in a standard computer keyboard (does not need any software or operating system). I am going to build a new stereo system around this Sony changer, all Sony components. You will like the way the front door opens and closes to add and remove disks (discs). It is so easy to hook up, unbelievably easy. I will have to read the manual to see what this thing can really do. I recommend it. Hey! Buy this Sony.

I needed to get out of the CD shuffling business. This certainly accomplishes that!
Very convenient. Like I said, my reference player need not be worried, but it is utterly inconvenient!

NOT MUCH USAGE YET - JUST GOT IT.
EASY TO HOOK UP AND PLAYS WELL.
SLOTS FOR EACH CD ARE NARROW BUT HOW ELSE COULD YOU GET 300 IN SHORT OF HAVING A HUGE DIAMETER ?

Product was shipped to my door within four days of ordering. I have been watching this CD changer on line for a couple of years. I couldn't believe the price had dropped so much and purchased one. Setup and operation is quite simple. I had it up and running in a matter of a few minutes. The load capacity is super. Now I won't have CD's laying around the house anymore. Sound quality is good. Changing fron one CD to the next is a little slow but otherwise the machine functions quite well.

This unit has changed the way I listen to music. It eliminates the hastle of finding and loading 1 or a few Cds at a time. This is especially nice when you only have the mental energy or time to push a button. Once loaded, there are many ways to use it. I like to pick a starting point and just let it keep on going. That way I have non-stop music all day, plus hear things I hadn't played in a long time. It is user friendly.
The only thing I don't like is the same as with ALL electronic equipment I've seen. The button labels are hard to read. I wish all buttons had large high contrast letters.
I heartily recommend this unit.

Better sound than i thought. I used to play my cd's through my dvd player sony sr 500 and it sounded good. I kept reading reviews on getting a cd player , but wasn't sure if there was a difference on sound quality. why should there be? i was using my hdmi out on my dvd player to my onkyo sr608 reciever and it sounded great i guess. i looked at single dedicated cd players but i didnt like getting up and changing cd's. So i needed a multi changer. 5 disc nah. 300 disc oh yes. Sound quality was bright , music was clearer, and bass was deeper. Dont know why cd's sound better in a cd player vs dvd player.Even my copied cd's sounded better. But there is a difference u can hear and feel. If u like LISTENING to music get this.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. I was using a boom box with a 3-cd changer in my office area. Changing/programming CD's was a pain to say the least.
My 300 disc MegaStorage CD changer allowed me to load my entire CD collection into the machine. Now I simply look up the disc I wish to play on the listing I created and punch the disc # into the remote...and play what I like when I like.
I can also choose "play all" and have the music run almost forever.
