Bulky, powerful, and full featured, the Sony DVP-CX860 DVD player holds up to 301 of your favorite CDs or DVDs in one place, letting you easily switch between Mozart and Moulin Rouge without even leaving the couch. The unit employs Sony's Disc Explorer management system to make order out of the chaos, organizing discs by genre, title, or other method via an onscreen interface. The system even offers separate folders for each family member to make things easier. An added bonus is the disc-flip mechanism, which automatically corrects for CDs and DVDs that were inserted backwards, while also accessing both sides of a two-sided DVD.

The player is compatible with audio CDs, Video CDs, and DVDs, and is also equipped for connection to an A/V receiver with built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders for rich 5.1-channel surround sound. Other features include Sony's exclusive Digital Cinema Sound modes, which provide customized audio for everything from dialogue-driven films to big-budget action spectacles, along with SmoothScan high-speed forward and reverse and SmoothSlow slow-motion forward and reverse.

The system also offers a 10-bit/27 MHz video digital-to-analog converter for superior signal transfer, along with 24-bit/96 kHz linear PCM audio decoding. To ensure better connectivity, the player includes a component-video output, two S-video outputs, and two A/V outputs, along with two digital outputs (one optical and one coaxial).
