Yes 🙌!!! They absolutely are. I actually have a Rowe AMI CD-51 Jukebox and it only holds 100 CD’s. I was planning to get rid of my Sony CDP CX225 200 cd, because it’s not working anymore, but have now changed my mind. It’s sure easier and smaller than moving a jukebox. 😝

WOW That's a beast, hope it'll serve you for a long long time. Mechanics in it is just fascinating, that's coolest CD changer I saw in my life

Starting my own collection of CDs, this is something I could definitely use

I have two 400 disc units purchased in 2006 dvd/cd player. I just hope the belts are still good. I really haven’t used them that heavily. Loaded up with discs, I don’t look forward to emptying them out to get repaired. Nice video. You know your craft well.

I absolutely love these things! I have a trashpicked Pioneer changer with a 300 disc capacity that works perfectly. My favourite part is it's fully automatic sliding door. I'm now going to ensure the discs are unloaded before moving it because after watching this video, I now know what can happen

Excellent video, very interesting to see the underlying mechanism

Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for this information for a while because I have one of these players and I wanted to know how to fix any issues it may develop. Mine was $20 at Value Village and it works perfectly at this time. Cheers!

Very helpful info , thanks much! I have 2 300s and one 400. That info on the Blue Switch could be very important when my units fail. The 300 and 400 don't use toothed belts, just simple bands.

Thx for opening this up... always curious about the guts, but was never going to open it up unless absolutely necessary! I have 2 of the ES version of this player the CX90... they've been rock solid for many years... and no, I've never moved them! :) One nifty feature is that you can chain two of these units together and they act like one 400 disc changer... I use it on random all the time... it's a great way to listen to music that you've purchased so long ago that you'd forgotten and never think of playing... it's like re-discovering your CD collection every time I turn the thing on!

Yes that is for sure. That is what I do. I took all my CDs, and made compilation disks on CD-R. Took all the good songs from each disk and burned a copy, filled up 80 minute disks. Then loaded all those disks into the changer. I think I am about 190 disks now, not quite full. I leave it play on random and never hear a bad track. What I would really like to do is make a lexan cover for it, so the inner workings can be seen as it is running. I think that would look great. A show piece. I am always on the look out for the 300 or 400 disk changers, but haven't found one yet.

Thats massive :-), ive never seen a disk changer so big before. Thats so nice how it operates, a top glass would be great as long as it didnt upset the optical sensors :-D It reminds me of the old rockola record dukebox my frend has, the records are on a vertical rotating wheel, i repaired that many years ago. The optical disk sensor was being ignored, it was an old 1970's logic chip in the processing that had bit the dust. So interesting how it all worked, needed a clear panel in it really, amazing :-D

I think these things are really cool from an engineering standpoint, and are useful for whoever has lots of CD's and needs to play hours and hours of music, and/or has nowhere to store cases. However, I personally would have no use for one because I keep my whole CD collection in original cases on shelves/racks. To me, these mega changers take half the fun of CD collecting away, and it would also be hard to keep track of what's in which slot. I'm happy with my 5-disc carousel, and they are a more reliable technology.

thank you for this video, it has sold me on purchasing one

This would be so cool as a game system, you would have to know what game is where but it would still be really cool.

Yes and it was brand new. The guy that bought it, a local realtor (still here too) bought it new from the shop I worked at. When I was doing some work for him, he was complaining about how hard it was to use to find a specific disk. (I guess he never thought to catalog the disks he loaded) and said how he wished he had a 5 disk carousel unit. I said, hey I have a 5 disk ES model that I recently rebuilt, new laser and spindle motor. He said want to trade, I said hell yes.

I have the 400 disc CDP-CX450 changer. It's mechanism is rather different, no metal frame over the top under the lid so that's interesting. I have to move the unit I have in order to re-rout unrelated cable so when I do that I will compare the mechanisms... and as you said I will remove the discs before doing so! That's worked for me before.

the IR replacement really helped me, my vcr remote had a really short distance as in right up to the unit I just thought it was a crap remote, so replaced the Ir from an old remote and its 10 times better now, never thought it could be the IR thats duff.

Great video. After watching it I found one online and really like it so far. Is there a height adjustment on the chucking arm? When mine goes to chuck a disc, the spindle will sometimes not align with the center hole of the cd. Causes quite the mess if I don't catch it.

Hello, I just finished watching your video on the CX225. I have a CX235 that I recently (3wks ago) purchased. For what ever reason the gripper on the chucking arm closes too soon so when it tries to pick up a disc it either fails to grab it or it barely gets ahold of it causing to load on the spindle incorrectly. When it tries to put it back in the tray it drops the disc half way back and causes a jam. Is there a way I can fix this myself or do I need to send it out for repair? I will appreciate any advise you can give me.

Do you have any idea what the specs of the DACs are for these sony 100-200 CD changers?

With the assistance of your video about the 300 Disk CD Mega Changer skipping, I believe I was able to identify the skipping issue on my CDP-CX235 200 Disk changer - the gears (or at least one of them) had some damaged teeth that would sometimes not mesh. I was unable to obtain just the gear(s) that I needed, but was able to find a brand new laser transport sub-assembly for about $15. I installed it. But when I went to test it, my disc chuck would no longer grasp the discs properly, It fails to load the CD as it should. Now, thanks to THIS video, I will attempt to make the adjustment on the CD chuck. Are you able to provide any additional, valuable insight?

Hi D, I have just obtained another 200 CD unit and was wondering if you know what are the differences between the CDP CX200 and 225 are? Thx SC

I have the Nakamichi rebadge of this, super cool player, got mine for 20 bucks fully working. One question, the internals and controls on my unit are identical to the sony, the buttons are all in the exact same place, I would think other than the front panel these units are identical. Would a remote for the Sony unit work on my Nakamichi you think? I'm having a hard time tracking down the Nakamichi remote.

Great videos! I just purchased a 200 cd changer and hope to get it fixed soon. I can open the door but when i try to close it, it doesn't want to close. Sony cdp-cx210 is what i have. I also have a sony dvd 400 changer coming in the mail today!. It is going to be a very exciting! I purchased them not working of course. I cannot afford what they want it for working.

How do you fix spindle wheel noise ,plays fine to explain , a finger on top of wine glass wheel not broke I’ve tried numerous options still comes back if needs new wheel where do I get one can’t miss white wheel for disk ,certain temp related also 70 or better ,I love watching on inside to these were just coming out when I got this one didn’t see 400 disk till later the ones after even had text on it I can play it thru the stereo sounds even better use red white cable

4:12 - And I got my CD collection (237 discs) ripped to FLAC files on 128GB pendrive right in my pocket and all in CD quality ;) Nice video and device :)

i have a pioneer 100 disk version and i keep the lid off but thats because periodically it drops a disk and jams , but easy to sort out with the lid off all the time

Love this portable jukebox CD player . It’s good

I have the 235. It looks pretty similar except the door slides to the side to open instead of dropping down. I bought it new probably 20 years ago and it's still going (knock on wood). Mine has the yellow light all the way in the back of the unit and it's still super bright.

I have a CDP-CX250 and a CDP-CX300 I bought used. Unfortunately, the CX250 is missing some door parts (latching and unlatching parts) so the door mechanism doesn't work, I have to tape it shut but that is just a minor annoyance because when fully loaded disks are rarely changed. I just changed the belts in the CDP-CX300. I am trying to figure out how to use them to automate copying CDs to computer to use a computer as a jukebox instead.

I have a Sony cd changer CDP-CX255. I am having issues with this player grabbing the cd. It knows what location the cd is in but when you try to play it it will not pick the cd up. It try’s to grab beside the side you want to play. Any ideas how to fix this issue?

great video! i'm a fan of these as i have a huge cd collection, but had no joy with two Sony CDP-CX230: one skips wildly on all cd's, and the other the cd won't even spin. Your video shows it's possible to get to the bottom of the problem. I've had better luck with Pioneer PD-F models, other than sometimes not catching the disc properly they've been fairly reliable and sound fine. I also tried a Kenwood DP-J, that was almost fine except it had problems reading about 1-in-10 discs and also the carousel would randomly whirl about in a confused loop, to the point only powering down several times helped. I even had a JVC XL-MC100 but they're huge and fiddly. Fascinating but frustrating machines. Once you do bag a reliable one you'll rediscover musik in ways which are somehow more enjoyable than mp3-playlists or youtube-streaming. I guess the more involved physical nature helps you psychologically connect more, plus superior audio quality (CD is only matched by WAV in terms of digital audio).

Great overview! I just got this exact CD changer off eBay in supposed good working condition, and it looks nice from the outside, with no damage during shipping, but when I picked it up I heard rattling inside, so I opened it up and found 5 CDs jammed in the back, as well as a piece inside the chassis that was not attached. It is the magnet-loaded white spindle clamp for spinning chucked CDs! I popped it back on its black grip (it's very loose and wobbly, though - that's not normal, is it?) and loaded a CD and attempted to play it, but every time it tries to chuck a CD, the CD gets tossed and overshoots a little and does not get properly clamped so it cannot play it, and then when it tries to send it back to the carousel, the CD falls and gets caught crooked and gets popped into the back of the player, scratching it in the process. Is there maybe another part missing that I'm not finding, like a plastic/teflon washer that goes between the white spindle and the black spindle holder? Thank you!

@12voltvids

Yes the magnet disk clamp is relatively loose, so that when it clamps it centers and sticks to the spindle.If it is not chucking the disk correctly there are adjustments to align the chucking arm.

I have the Sony cdx 210 it keeps dropping the disc and when it switches another disc it puts it between other discs

If someone asked if I could play the current no 1 (or whatever), I just pressed '1' & it played. The carousel is shrouded so as not to spill in transit. Pioneer did a 25 disc machine with a straight rack & Kenwood did a 200 disc carousel similar to the Sony being demonstrated. Richard (UK)

Reminds me of many years ago when I was in the children's hospital and on the TV in the ward, not only did they have the Freeview channels, but they had one channel which was playing episodes of Bob the builder and Barney. After every few episodes, there would be a blue screen which would show like a representation of a container with a large stack of discs in the hundreds of so, which disc it was going to play and sometimes, a blank screen with the "Philips" name, all on a blue background(its OSD appeared to be generated by a character generator). I believe that was a rare Philips VCD changer, which the hospital also used with the TVs in some of their outpatient clinics as well. I never seen the unit itself though.

By any chance, do you have a CX-230 front panel of facia available for parts? Id really appreciate if you could give me a hand here. I love this old stuff and I want it as new again. Thanks a lot for your time, hope you can help me pal!!!

I feel your pain. Sorry I don't have a front panel for a CX230 but will keep my eyes open for one.

Thank you very much man. If you find something, please let me know! Thanks dude!

I had a Fisher studio 60 i believe it was. Purchased it new and it seems like at the time you really couldn't get a much larger capacity player. I remember it seemed like soon after i bought this unit that 100-200 disc systems started popping up everywhere. I paid 500 bucks for that Fisher 60 disc. It developed an error after a few years and i think i pitched it sad to say. :(
