from J&R Music World Summary:
I am somewhat shocked to read some of the other reviews for this product. Guys and gals, this was the best unit Sony made in the cd changer catagory until the recently arrived 777ES, which acts as a DVD & CD changer. Yes, it can be time consuming and laborious to enter names and info but if you burn or buy cd's with CDText on them you won't have to do that. This is but one of the best features of this machine! This product is considered more on the high-end scale and people that don't want to spend the time that serious audio listeners' do to upgrading their system should not consider this product.
For starters, you can use any keyboard with this unit. It is not Sony specific by any means. Just plug it in and enter away.
Also, someone even said that the system's sound was okay! Not true. To get great sound from any product, use optical cables and with a good reciever you will get amazing sound with this unit.
Also, once you lose the info it is gone, sorry. Make sure that you're using good wiring and not an extension cord with a billion plugs in it, etc. You may have had a power surge or lost power at one point but honostly it sounds like you might have just deleted the info. Machines are tricky sometimes, that's just the way it is, no matter who makes it.
Also, the video output is a very useful feature. Great for sorting your collection instead of looking at a small display. When CD Text is used all the info is displayed on the remote, the display and the tv out, awesome! Strengths:
This thing has great sound with the right system backing it up. Great remote and the CDText feature is probably one of the coolest features of any new audio equipment. Weaknesses:
Just the time it takes to enter info but that's part of life when you want a great setup. Again, use the CDText feature when burning cd's and you'll see!
