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
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.
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.
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.
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® remote control.
Standard features on both models include Twin Jog Dials™ for easy access,
and CD Text Display/Custom File™, which holds up to 800 discs in memory and
organizes discs into eight categories.
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.
The CDP-CX400 and CDP-CX450 will be available in June and are expected to
sell for approximately $299 and $399, respectively.
