In Response To: Re: cx240 and cx260 ? (Morten Gulhaugen)

Just in case anyone else out there is confused as I was over all of the different models of Sony 200 Disc CD players.. This may help.. This is some information that I've been able to dig up but it may not be accurate so use it at your own risk..

Listed here are the model #'s and the year that they were introduced:

1996: 1997: 1998: CDP-CX200 CDP-CX205 CDP-CX210 CDP-CX250 CDP-CX255 CDP-CX220 CDP-CX270 CDP-CX270 (1) CDP-CX240 CDP-CX90ES (2) CDP-CX70ES (2) CDP-CX260

CDP-CX270 (1)

Notes: (1) - The CDP-CX270 has been carried over unchanged since 1996. (2) - Near as I can tell the ES (Elevated Series) model CDP-CX90ES is

equivalent in function to the CDP-CX270 and the CDP-CX70ES is

equivalent to the CDP-CX240 (just better specs).

In the 1998 models the CDP-CX210 is a replacement for the CDP-CX205. The CDP-CX260 is a replacement for the CDP-CX255.

CDP-CX210: These run about $199.00. This is a very basic model. It does not have text display, digital output or any custom file capabilites.

CDP-CX220: These run about $249.00. You get the digital output, CD text display, and title display. You get Custom File features (organize CD's into eight groups), Delete Bank etc. Memo scan by slot or memo search by alphabet.

CDP-CX240: These run about $329.00. With this model you can connect a PC keyboard directly to the CD player to input text data. It also has 'Megastorage Control' so you can control 2 CD players together.

CDP-CX260: These run about $399.00. I actually own a CDP-CX260 but it's not clear to me what it has over the CDP-CX240. I will venture some guesses though. In comparing some notes I received from Sony here's some differences.

CDP-CX240 CDP-CX260 Filter Digital (8X) Filter Digital (FFF) Fader Fixed Fader Cross D/A Converter 4 D/A Converter Pulse (Hybrid)

I don't know what the CDP-CX240 has or what it comes with but the CDP-CX260 has a 2-way LCD remote and comes with a seperate transmitter/receiver unit to support the remote. This seperate unit also has 2 S-link jacks on it. The CDP-CX260 DOES NOT have a TV GUI interface like the CDP-CX270. The CDP-CX260 also has Custom File Memory for 400 discs.

Hope this helps..

Regards, Steve
