In Reply to: Re: Sony 850, 200 DVD/CD changer? posted by Andy Hung on January 13, 2000 at 11:01:08:
Hey Andy,I have the 850 also. I love the sounds that come out, but my 7700 sounds a bit more clearer(but I'll take a changer anyday for one sitting listening). I'm curious, have you tried using the "Wide Range" filter for stereo? I don't know if this filter in unrestrictive for playback or just adds an echo or reverb affect to the music. However, the manuel states that with higer fidelity speakers the sound will be more "lifelike" under the "widerange" setting.
This is my second changer and I can say that the human factors of the 850 are all messed up. You have to turn on the TV to see whats on disk explorer. When disk explorer is on, music isn't. The memory for the picture icons is low so when it loads it takes loooong. The CDtext is a major step down from other models and no longer displays the songs titles. And last, one of my DVDs got jammed and it got banged up in there.
It has some pluses but they are normal things that a CD/DVD player should have.joe
Hi Joe,I really haven't checked out all the different CX850 audio options -I just use standard/dolby digital out for my Classe preamp. Just for kicks, last night I did briefly play with the Wide Range in the downmixed 2ch mode (both analog and digital) for CD stereo playback and didn't notice much of a difference. Of course, it's quite a few buttons to push to switch so I wasn't able to instantaneously compare and I was too lazy to program up my pronto. Wide Range may only be a DVD dolby digital feature, perhaps something related to the "dynrng" "dynrng2" "compr" "compr2" and "dialnorm" inband volume control variables in sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 of the Dolby AC-3 standard - can anyone from Sony comment?
I definitely agree that the CX850 is an ergoklutz. Loading the older CX300 CD changer is much easier: the door automatically swings open, so you don't have to pull down the entire front panel. Also the CX850 is somewhat sensitive to being moved: a lot of people have reported jam problems with the CX850 after they moved the player with discs in the tray.
Yours,--andy
version ... BEATS ,em all
