Overview
Home theater owners with hundreds of discs get one changer that stores Blu-ray, DVD and CD titles and sorts them by title, genre or cast on screen. It connects over HDMI and joins automation systems through a serial control port.
Library access is the reason to buy: a whole collection loads once and plays from the couch with on screen search. Its size and weight demand rack space, and it predates ultra HD discs.
Who it's for
Collectors with a rack and an automation controller get every disc a click away. Viewers who have moved to streaming or ultra HD discs gain little from a changer this size.
Pros and cons
- Holds an entire disc library
- On screen search by title, genre, cast
- RS-232 for automation systems
- Lossless audio decoding and bitstream
- Very large and heavy
- No ultra HD support
- Single HDMI output
Performance notes
Navigation speed depends on the internal mechanism moving discs to the drive, so changes take longer than a single tray player. Lossless audio passes as bitstream or decoded to the receiver over HDMI. DVDs are upscaled toward HD through the same output.
