Real convience
This is one of the most satisfing itms I have ever bought. My 400 DVD changer is still excellent but this machine exceded my expectations. Just drop in your B/D or DVD and the machine finds the tittle, cover art work, etc. automaticly. The sorting system is great. you can find any tittle or genre etc. quickly. If the 9.5 inch high profile is a problem then modify your shelf space. It is worth it to acommadate this machine. You will save all the shelf space that the cases of the B/Ds took up.

disappointed with results
Have had my player for a little more than a year now. At first it was great and had little problem until disc titles would disappear, then some new Disney blu ray movies just stopped loading and will not play. I have bought new disc's thinking something was wrong with the disc, same problem. Also allot of different blu ray disc just lock up and stop playing in the middle of the movie. My unit is connected to the internet and gets all the automatic updates, but the problems are still there. To set the record straight--- this does not hold 401 disc, it holds 400 with the "RENTAL" slot being #1 out of 400. I also have had a Sony DVP-CX995V which is a 400 disc DVD player for about 4 years. Had to have the reader replaced after 3 years of heavy use, but it does not have the PLAY issues that the Blu ray player does...

Not Disappointed
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Despite my long list of overly-picky "cons", I am still glad I purchased this Blu-ray mega changer. PROS: Holds 400 discs. Plays Blu-ray, DVD or CD discs. DVD playback quality is near HD. Downloads title, year, director's name, lead actor's name, rating (like PG-13) and genre from Internet. Sorts by title, slot or year. Groups by genre, director or lead actor. Dedicated SORT and GROUP buttons on remote. Displays jacket picture in directory. After adding more discs, LOAD function only adds data for new discs, without overwriting changes made to existing discs. Very fast directory scrolling. Drill down to track names on Audio CDs. Fast and easy menu system. Easy firmware upgrades from Internet. + 100 button on front of unit speeds up physical navigation. Remote can also be used to control TV and AMP. CONS: Too tall to fit into most cabinets. Too deep to fit onto most shelves. Table top only. No 3D. Despite its size, it cannot flip discs like my older (and much smaller) Sony 300 disc DVD changer. No keyboard port for editing disc data. Editing disc data via remote is very time consuming. Disc data downloaded via Internet from Gracenote is not always accurate. Title, year and rating are almost always correct. Genre is mostly correct (obviously, this is somewhat subjective). Lead actor is often incorrect. (I do not know director's names well enough to comment on their accuracy.) Gracenote has not yet learned that you should ignore articles such as A or THE at the beginning of the title name to permit proper sorting. With all of its sorting and grouping capabilities, I could not believe that it could not group by video format (Blu-ray vs. DVD). Your only clue, prior to playback, is a little blue bar at the top of the jacket picture for Blu-ray discs. When grouping by lead actor or director name, the people are sorted by their first name, not their last name. Jacket picture is small. But, if that speeds up directory scrolling, I am OK with that. During prolonged scrolling, directory listings are not displayed. Rental slot is just as narrow as all of the other slots. Disc eject feature is shallow - making discs somewhat difficult to retrieve. Like most Blu-ray players, this changer requires about 30 seconds to power up. Despite stated specifications, does not recognize CD-Text data. (See, I told you I was picky.)
