Imageman Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Does anyone know if there is a CD player with on-screen (tv) display? I am looking for a changer. Thanks, tj ------------------ "Imaging is Everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imageman Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 Avman, thanks for the info- that is perfect. do you think this is a better idea than using a DVD changer to accomplish the same? ------------------ "Imaging is Everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 i saw a sony that fits that description and it was SO guady, silver with blkue flashy lights and just plain bulky... not a pretty addon, but maybe they have a rack style one? ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers promediatech@Klipsch.com /1-888-554-5665 - RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imageman Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Yea, I have seen all the sony units and the major problem with them is the remote. The unit has this 2-way remote that requires that remote to use some of the cd-players functionality. How much, I cannot seem to find out. It is a problem on two levels, #1- I have been a Pronto user for years, and have designed all my own custom configurations. I now have a ProntoPro, and am not willing to use another remote. #2: this unit will go in a fully enclosed cabinet (hence the need for on screen display) so there will be no way for the changer to communicate back with the remote. So anybody have any non-sony ideas? I am considering just buying a DVD changer and using for cds, but I'd rather have something that is tailored to cd use. ------------------ "Imaging is Everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 the purpose of the 2-way remote is to transmit data back to the lcd display on the remote. this feature IS NOT neccessary to operate the remote, although you may want to use this remote,rather than program into the pronto the cd commands(button-for-button). sony had a 5-disc dvd/cd changer w/on screen, but those have been discontinued. btw-my dvd changer IS ALSO a cd/SACD changer. avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center (looking for 1-m.o.klf-20) ksps-6 surrounds RSW-15 sony strda-777ES receiver upgraded to v.2.02 including virtual matrix 6.1 sony playstation 2 sony dvpnc 650-v 5-disc dvd/cd/SACD changer dishnetwork model 6000 HD sat rcvr w/digital off-air tuner sony kv36xbr450 high-definition 4:3 tv sharp xv-z1u lcd projector w/84" 4:3 sharp screen Bello'international Italian-made a/v furniture panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable and nxg interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire Natuzzi red leather furniture set KLIPSCH-So Good It Hz!

Imageman Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Everyone be advised. Avman's statements are false about the Sony CD Changers. There are numerous funtions that DO NOT work without the 2-way remote. I know- I just bought it. These functions are not a huge issue to me or I would not have bought it, but you might just want to be sure on all your information. The search functions and some other minor functions don't work properly without the 2-way remote. no harm, just FYI to whoever may read this thread in the future. ------------------ TJ Farnsworth "Imaging is Everything" Mitsubishi WS-65819 Mitsubishi SR-HD5 DirecTV Pioneer Elite VST-37TX Pioneer Elite CLD Laserdisc Panasonic RP-62 DVD Mitsubishi HU-S747 SVHS Klipsch Epic CF-2 Mains Klipsch Legend KLF-C7 Center Klipsch Quintet Surrounds Home Built 'Uber' Subwoofer Pronto Pro XBOX DreamCast And another bedroom setup... but the signature is long enough!

avman Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 'the search function and some other minor functions don't work w/o the 2-way remote' so that makes my statement false?? if you feel that not having the 2-way communication w/the sony cd remote is a great hinderance to its functionality, then get an ir repeater and use that to transmit the ir data to the cd remote. also,the primary interest you seemed to indicate was on-screen display, and that, as well as selecting a disc from that display does work w/o the 2-way communication. avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center (looking for 1-m.o.klf-20) ksps-6 surrounds RSW-15 sony strda-777ES receiver upgraded to v.2.02 including virtual matrix 6.1 sony playstation 2 sony dvpnc 650-v 5-disc dvd/cd/SACD changer dishnetwork model 6000 HD sat rcvr w/digital off-air tuner sony kv36xbr450 high-definition 4:3 tv sharp xv-z1u lcd projector w/84" 4:3 sharp screen Bello'international Italian-made a/v furniture panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable and nxg interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire Natuzzi red leather furniture set KLIPSCH-So Good It Hz!

Imageman Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Sorry Avman, I did not mean to make that sound like I was flaming you or anything, which it obviously did. I just wanted anybody searching the forums later, or looking for info on products now, to be misinformed. I look for info here all the time on products, and I often find myself reading your posts. I know for a fact that you weren't trying to mislead anyone or anything even close to that. You are by far and above one of the best guys on this BB. I apologize that it sounded that way. I just wanted people the use universal remotes to be aware of the loss of that function in the unit. My bad for sounding like I was attacking you. Sometimes text doesn't always come off like you intend.

avman Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 no problem-the ir repeater set will work for 2-way communication w/the remote if you feel the need. i set up alot of universal remotes (mostly sony rmav2100 which are now rmav3000) and this remote(the one that comes w/the on-screen cd changer) is one whose extraneous functions would be difficult to duplicate, or at least impractical to program(button-for-button) into the universal remote.up,down,left,right,enter,play,pause,ff,rw,skip fwd,back;however should be easy. avman.

ERIK Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I have a sony ES changer (I forget the model number) and a Pronto remote and they work great together. I used a program to enter all of my cd titles and artists into the Pronto to make finding one of the 400 discs very easy. look that up at remotecentral.com I haven't picked up the sony remote in over a year now.
