Video Asylum

Hello again. I've been off the boards for a while.

I have a Sony 90-ES 200 CD changer. It was designed in 1996, and purchased in 1997. It works great, and I am happy with the sound. It has only a composite video out for the CD text.

I have a Sony 7700 DVD player, which works great. However since I have a lot of DVD's, including music videos, and wanted to expand the number of CD's available to me, I thought of getting another changer.

The Sony DVP CX 850D seemed like it would be perfect, but the reviews on Audio Review were very critical about how it interfaced with the user. It seemed that the audio quality was fine.

Pioneer just came out with a hot unit, the DV F727, a 300 DVD changer. I have not read a review on it, although the pioneer web site was very informative.

But then it does not "s link" with the Sony 90ES that I already have.

Any opinions on the Pioneer, or if it is possible to daisy chain it to the Sony S link sytem would be apppreciated.
