Tested, working 5 disk DVD/CD player with remote and manual. Ships in original box.
Compared with a basic single-disc DVD player at this money, this carousel changer is a nicer buy: US$85 sits below the US$115 median and comfortably under the US$228 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-good price rather than a stretch. It is not a steal at the US$61 lower quartile, but it is solidly in buyer-friendly territory for a Sony changer.
What makes it worthwhile is the convenience factor: five-disc capacity, decent DVD/CD versatility, and the usual Sony reputation for smooth disc handling and straightforward operation. These changers are handy for mixed CD/DVD libraries and late-night listening sessions; just make sure the tray mechanism is healthy and the remote is included, since those matter more than cosmetics on an older unit.

Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
