Beautiful excellent condition 400 disc dvd/ cd player with new remote.
At US$350, this Sony DVP-CX777ES Silver CD player is ambitiously priced, sitting well above the 75th percentile of US$234 and nearly triple the median of US$117 from 1,490 recent comparable listings. The asking price exceeds the top quartile by US$116, making it a tough sell unless the unit is in pristine, original-owner condition with rare accessories.
The DVP-CX777ES is a respected 100-disc CD changer from Sony’s ES line, known for robust build quality, smooth disc loading, and reliable transport mechanics that outlast many contemporaries. It delivers solid soundstage and channel separation for a changer, appealing to collectors who value capacity without sacrificing ES pedigree. If this listing includes the original remote, power cable, and intact drawer mechanism, it’s a niche opportunity—but only at or below US$234 would it align with market reality. At US$350, it’s overpriced for a used changer unless condition and completeness are exceptional.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
