Sony BDPCX7000ES 400 Blu-ray disc / DVD MegaChanger with 1080p HD

Finally, a compact personal media library

A tower for your audio CDs, a shelf for your DVDs and a stack of Blu-ray discs in the magazine rack at the side of the couch, keeping divergent media collections organized can be a challenge. With Sony's premium Blu-ray disc MegaChanger disc player and manager, you can store and quickly access up to 400 discs of your choosing, whether it's your favorite music or those long-loved classic films. That's CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray media filed neatly away in one convenient media storage cabinet and player eliminating the need to switch out or search for favorite discs. Incorporating all media into one player is an industry first and, as usual, Sony is at the head of the line.

The centerpiece of home entertainment

With Sony's CX7000ES Blu-Ray disc player and high-capacity media storage MegaChanger, not only will you be able to centralize a media library in one location, you'll be able to watch movies from any room in your home. The RS-232 data interface establishes a common ground with existing audio-visual components, allowing you to access all 400 of your favorite Blu-ray and DVD movies, or CDs in the bedroom in one moment, and in the living room in the next. Reliable integration of media commands will allow your MegaChanger to become the centerpiece of your home entertainment system. Keep kids busy downstairs with a matinee of "Wall-E," fall asleep against a backdrop of lush Irish coastline in "Far and Away," or just fall in love, all over again, watching "The Notebook."

Upscale DVD collection to near-HD quality

In addition to storing and playing up to 400 discs, the BDP-CX7000ES offers the capabilities of a fully-featured Blu-ray Disc player, including full HD 1080p with 24p True Cinema video output for Blu-ray disc technology, HD audio support, and the ability to upscale most standard DVDs to near HD quality with an HDMI connection. And because it's at the top of the heap of Sony's Blu-ray line, you'll enjoy the highest-end video output available on the market today in all your existing media. The CX7000ES MegaChanger from Sony features Super Bit Mapping and HD Reality Enhancer. Super Bit-Mapping smooths out background shadows and color gradients, while the HD Reality Enhancer sharpens moving edges, to create the finest video output and crisp visuals available from Sony.

Rental slots safeguard your media

The latest in engineering, design and research and development, all keep Sony the technology leader. The fact that their team thinks of just about everything doesn't hurt matters either. How about a rental slot for quick load and unload of movies picked up at the video store, to avoid confusion between rentals and your own private media library? With the CX7000ES MegaChanger, commingling media won't be a problem since the media manager's rental slot keeps borrowed media completely separate from a burgeoning personal collection.

Seek and you will find - with ease

Want to watch a film, but don't know how to find it among the 399 other disks in the MegaChanger? Refine searches for your favorite disc using easy sorting and grouping functions in the user-friendly, on-screen interface. Downloadable media jacket artwork helps simplify your search. Each time a movie is inserted into the CX7000ES MegaChanger, it automatically queries the Gracenote database via internet connection, and downloads that film's jacket art, title, director, cast, genre and more. Once this metadata is loaded, the user can quickly browse, search, and sort discs loaded in the MegaChanger using the Xross Media Bar user interface. This simplifies and quickens future searches for a specific movie, because artwork and information is quickly called up with the on-screen display to make media sorts by category all just a part of straightforward navigation within your library of Blu-ray movies, DVDs and CDs.

Now it's great picture, sound, and capacity - all in one

When Blu-Ray first came out, consumers had a difficult choice: Either buy the latest 1080p HD technology, or choose an all-inclusive media library with just 480p capability. With Sony's CX7000ES, you get the best of both worlds with the latest, greatest Sony innovations, and the ability to maintain a media library in one location. With the addition of studio-quality 7.1 channel analog audio output, you'll achieve superb sound, while assuring compatibility with existing audio equipment.
