The following is from Sony's news release web site, =
http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/corpcomm/news/consumer/36.html:
CD Megachangers Growing in Capacity, Popularity=20
For most consumers, the only thing growing faster than their CD =
collections is the capacity of their changers. Megachangers, with the =
ability to store 50 or more discs, continue to be the hottest sector in =
the category.=20
In order to help consumers manage their growing CD collections while =
simplifying disc access, Sony is expanding its line of CD megachangers =
with the addition of two new 400-disc changers.=20
Both the CDP-CX400 and CDP-CX450 utilize Advanced Mega Control, =
which enables users to control and crossfade up to 800 discs (by =
daisy-chaining to another 400-disc changer) without any interruption of =
music.=20
There's also the artist name search function of each player, which =
allows for the ability to search or have continuous playback of CDs in =
the changer of the same selected artist. Users can program--with a PC =
keyboard via the dedicated front panel input--up to 200 different artist =
names and access discs via panel controls or by using the Remote =
Commander=AE remote control.=20
Standard features on both models include Twin Jog DialsT for easy =
access, and CD Text Display/Custom FileT, which holds up to 800 discs in =
memory and organizes discs into eight categories.=20
The CDP-CX450 adds a new Graphic User Interface (GUI) with a =
dedicated monitor output. The GUI permits up to 10 disc titles per =
screen and displays play mode and status. Another added feature is the =
two-way LCD remote control, which helps simplify disc management and =
access by allowing users to see disc titles on the remote.=20
The CDP-CX400 and CDP-CX450 will be available in June and are =
expected to sell for approximately $299 and $399, respectively.
