Amazon.com Product Description:
The CDPCX455 400-disc CD changer puts hours upon hours of music at your fingertips with features like cross-fade sound, text display, and an organization feature that makes it easy to find your favorite songs and albums. Because the CDPCX455 plays MP3s as well as CDs, you can expand the already-massive capacity of the player, and literally play the CDPCX455 for days on end.

The CDPCX455 can play audio CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs, as well as CDs with MP3 files. You can program the CDPCX455 to play CDs or tracks one by one, in random order, or in your own customized order. A history search allows you to return to CDs that you have recently played, and you can browse through all of your CDs by name, so you'll never lose track of what CDs are in the player or what order they are in. You can also custom-label CDs stored in the CDPCX455 for quicker retrieval. The CDPCX455 includes a jog dial control that gives you quick access to individual CDs or tracks. With the jog dial, you can listen to snippets of music or skip tracks you don't like quickly.

For power users or music lovers with a deep library of CDs, the CDPCX455 can synch up with another CD changer. You'll never have to wait for a disc to change to keep the music playing, thanks to a cross-fade feature that brings the audio of one CD down at the same time that a new disc starts to play. By adding a second changer, you can expand your access up to 800 CDs total, and both changers can be controlled by a single remote.

The hybrid pulse digital-to-audio converter reproduces a warm, natural sound from your CDs, making you feel like you were there when the music was recorded. You can easily connect the CDPCX455 to an audio receiver with analog RCA-type and digital optical outputs. An analog connection instantly synchs the CDPCX455 to another changer, and a Control A-1II cord links the CDPCX455 to any other Sony components in your audio system or home theater. A headphone jack is also featured.

CD changer unit, RCA audio cord, ControlA-1II cord, remote control, two AA batteries, owner's manual.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Product should be removed from the market
My husband and I bought this CD changer two years ago and it has scratched about 100 of our 400 CDs. When we called Sony customer service, they told us that they were not aware of the problem. After spending $400+ on a changer that we can no longer use (or return), we have removed all CDs that are usable and purchased a new CD/DVD player. We are now in the process of replacing all of our damaged CDs. I would not recommend this product to anyone and I was very disappointed with Sony's customer ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Buy an MP3 player.
Aside from storing your CDs, an MP3 player offers all of the same features as this beast of a machine at a similar cost, but they are portable and more user friendly.

The review "Not For Audiophiles" written by 'antropy' really covered the bases, but I wouldn't rate it with one star. I bought this unit eight years ago, and I've never had any problems with it... with todays technology, I find it unneccessary, or nearly obsolete, but I still use mine, and I like it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a great machine!
I bought this item with some degree of trepidation after reading some of the reviews. However, the price I found via the Amazon Warehouse Deals website presented me with an offer I couldn't refuse. The unit was listed as refurbished and was less than half the price of a new unit.

I received it within two days and it looked new to me, except for a slightly tattered box. Because of the reviews, I was so worried about whether or not it might damage my CDs, I made copies of the ones ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BEST WAY TO STORE & PLAY CD COLLECTION
THIS SONY 400 DISK CD PLAYER IS A GREAT WAY TO STORE YOUR MUSIC WHILE MAKING IT EASILY ACCESSABLE. YOU CAN SORT YOUR CD'S INTO CATAGORIES FROM COUNTRY TO CLASSICAL, THEN LOAD THE DISKS & CONNECT A COMPUTER KEYBOARD TO TYPE IN YOUR NAME FOR THE CD WHICH WILL SHOW UP ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN, MAKING IT EASY TO VIEW YOUR SELECTION. SOOOOO COOL....WE LOVE IT!!! GREAT PRODUCT!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sony 400 disc cd player
I'm very pleased with this item. It works as depicted. The instruction book could be done better, as it took a while to figure out some of the functions.
