Question:
Does anyone have one of these? I'm talking 300-400 CD ones not the 5-disc ones. I've been looknig around that them and can get a Sony 450 (400CD) for about $250. It has PS/2 Keyboard input and a 2-way LCD Remote for track titles (although I'd use my pronto minus the 2-way titles).
I was wondering is they are any good, both quality and if they are easy to use and do you make good use of them? I have't got any CD-racks yet since moving here and all my CD's are still in boxes. I only have about 200 but have a decent MP3 collection which I could burn to CD and I am guessing 400 capacity would last me for quite a while.
The only thing which worries me is if they are multi-frequenct so would work in the UK with a voltage converter if I come back. They only say 60Hz but not sure if they would be that effected by runnign at 50Hz?
I've got a 300 and a 400 disc changers.
I love them, and have them connected to my pc via an slink-e from nirvis systems.
As it's audio, I doubt to me if the frequency would be an issue, but I'm not sure.
Both of mine are currently in a container from South Africa back to the UK so I can't even check what the voltage stuff is.
Programming the front via the keyboard is a pain. I never did it and allowed my slinke to do all the work.

So are you saying that the Sony ones can be linked to a PC? The PS/2 keyborad looked a better way of editing than the remote control, but a PC would be better (especially with CDDB connection).
I think the voltage is 110v only on them, but its the frequency that is the real question...
If you go to http://www.nirvis.com you can buy a slink-e (or pick 1 up on ebay maybe) and use there cdj s/w. It links to cddb to get all the disc info and can then download that to the players. Works really well.
My choices would be :-
1. slink-e/cdj
2. keyboard
3. remote (no way)
Excellent thanks, makes me more ready to buy one now :)
