In Reply to: DVD megachangers - what do you like these days? posted by Larry S on January 27, 2006 at 20:54:56:
I've been planning to buy a megachanger too. There are only two real choices; the Sony cx-995 400-disk changer, and the Pioneer F-727 301-disk changer. Sony has serious problems with disk data management (critical with a high capacity changer) but has 1080i scaling and an HDMI output. The Pioneer's video processing is obsolescent with no progressive scan or upsampling and no digital video out. The user reviews I've read give the Pioneer better grades for reliablity and ease of use. The Pioneer allows daisy-chaining but only with S-video cable. I'll probably get the Pioneer because my Pioneer Elite TV converts the image to 1080i.I'm baffled that there aren't more megachangers models available. Disk storage space and handling is a major problem for many people and a megachanger is a fantastic solution.
Follow Ups:
I am starting to research media managers, such as the Escient Fireball line. Seems like a good solution, as it can download title info, pictures, and daisy chain multiple Sony mega changers. A bit expensive, but perhaps worth it.Anyone evaluated their products?
I just record them to a LaCie 2TB storage unit. You can daisy-chain up to 64 of these together! They use either FW800, FW400 or USB 2.0 (which will actually allow recording AND playback at the same time)!Regards,
Bruce
I have no urge to add a computer, remote interfaces, and separate storage unit into the mix for my rather modest CD and movie collection. 300 disk capacity is plenty for me.
