I'd like to start a new tread in my serch to find the best DVD Mega changer. Right now I am at a standstill on which one to buy. Money is no option I want the best. At the moment I am considering 3 models.
Sony DVP-CX875P 300+1 - specs look incredible, although a new unit I haven't had the chance to get enough input on the pros and cons (and I must add i'm not a big sony fan)
Pioneer DV-F07 300+1 - again spec look good and i am a big fan of pioneer
Kenwood DV-5900M 400+1 - this seems to be the best mega changer on the market. However a few things REALLY bug me about this unit. First according to a few reviews I have read the motor appears to be incredibly loud (being heard over some dialoge during dvd playback), long load times (up to 1 min) do they all have long load times? And probably just as bad as the loud motor, it appears u cannot sort dvd's alphabetically, only by slot number. That right there gets to me. If I have 400 movies I want to be able to sort them alphabetically. Now on the other hand the quality of this unit appears to be supurb also allowing dvd audio playback which is a big plus to me being a musician with a recording studio that is capable of recording at 24bit 96hz. But buying a seperate unit for dvd audio isn't a big deal to me. The dvd changer will mainly be used for movies and not dvd audio.
Well what do u think guys any input on any mega changer would be so great. Maybe we can get this tread going strong and help other people from buying something that just doesn't do what they want it to. I have found the liturature coming directly from sony, pioneer, and kenwood to be a bit misleading. It would be nice to hear from people who actually own these products.
