The Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer was created for the extensive CD collections of music enthusiasts and avid CD listeners alike.

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.

Sound Seems to be Improving
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!

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
I was tired of seeing my CD collection scattered about the house, collecting dust. My ripped CDs were of no use with my MP3 Player, or so I thought. I am glad I purchased the CDP-CX355, I did not realize there would be such a dramatic improvement in sound quality over MP3s, especially using a spare optical cable to hook into my 5.1 receiver. I am back listening to true stereo sound with depth of field, distinct separation, and the intricate musical phrases I can hear once again.

We were and still are pleased with the CD changer. We have filled it with our CDs and use it often.We had shopped around and H&B had it for half the price as everyone else. We are very pleased with the changer and would shop with H&B again and again and would recomend to our friend.

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
I was able to hook CD player up by myself. It interfaced great with my 20 year old stereo component system. Almost filled it up with CD's and since you can hook another CD changer up to this unit, I am considering buying another. I am really fond of the "ALL CD's and SUFFLE" features so I can hear different selectons from different CD's all day long. I am downloading spec's off the B&H site to give to a friend who loves mine!!!

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
I couldn't find a 5 disc changer to replace my old one, so I bought this one and use 6 or 8 discs at a time in the shuffle mode. It sounds much better than the old changer and is very easy to set up. The only negative aspect is the size. Be sure you check the exterior dimensions and have room for it, it's a pretty large unit.

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
It is a perfect fit into my entertainment section. Very good display function. Easy to load and categorize the CD's. It is awesome to have up to 300 cd's. It accommodates all my favorites. This was to replace my aged and sick 110 changer. With the Sony label, I know this is a quality product. And the price is very reasonable considering capacity and the Sony brand.

I can't say enough about this product. Due to the fact that the price offered by B&H was less than half the lowest price we found elswhere we figured we were taking a chance that the player might be sub standard. Take the chance you won't go wrong here. [...]

I purchased this product for my husband, a music fanatic. He has thousands of cds and when we entertain, he carefully crafts the music. I lover this unit. He can plan for an all nighter, or just the two of us. He was blown away by the amount of discs he can store, and the playlist option. He loves it.

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
This is a wonderful gift for someone still using CD's as their main source of music, who also has a large number they listen to daily. The display is great and allows the user to enter text for the older versions where this feature may not have been available. Setting it to random to give you the juke box feeling is great!
My favorite part is not having to see a stack of CD's not getting put away when my husband is listening to all of his music.

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
I bought the cd changer for my dad as a gift for the hoildays. He's one of those fanatics that enjoy the listening to classic cds. He loves the different options available with grouping the cds and setting up playlists. there is some difficultly reading some cds but thats only for a small percentage. Otherwise i could not ask for a better product.

Comments about Sony CDP-CX355 300 Disc MegaStorage CD Changer:
This is a great product if you have tons of old CD-s laying around and if you don't have a dedicated digital device hooked up to your home stereo. It will read track and performer information from CD-s that have CD text embedded; usually only recent CD-s or ones that were produced by Sony. Sound quality is excellent.
