========================================
PLEASE READ
This Sony 400 Disc CD changer comes from the family of the original owner, who at one time had a music collection so large that he had 8 to 10 of these Mega CD players full of store bought and home made CDs.  When the original owner passed away several years ago most of his items were put in storage.  The family has decided to move out of state and is selling everything that has been in his air conditioned storage unit since his passing, which includes several of these MegaStorage CD changers that will be listed.  The family does not know the history or anything about these changers beyond the family member owned them, so they are listed as we have tested them - This one is listed as NOT WORKING, FOR PARTS OR REPAIR.

MANUFACTURER’S DESCRIPTION
The pinnacle of MegaStorage convenience! Sony's CDP-CX450 stores an amazing
400 CDs
internally, and makes it especially easy to find the music you want to listen to. Disc Memo lets you assign a name to each disc — an input for a (PS/2-compatible) PC keyboard makes title entry fast and easy. You can view the titles in three ways: on the player's front panel; on your TV, thanks to an on-screen display (requires direct video input on your TV); or in the palm of your hand, thanks to a 2-way LCD remote control.
The CDP-CX450 gives you 8 Group Files so you can classify your CDs for group playback. Twin front-panel jog dials allow quick disc/track selection. Delete Bank remembers which songs you don't want to hear from each disc. You also get automatic title memory and display for CD Text discs.
Own
more
than 400 CDs? The CDP-CX450's Advanced Mega Control lets you connect a compatible Sony changer — enjoy the convenience of control, storage, and titling for up to
800 discs!
Crossfade between the two players DJ-style, and keep the party rollin' all night!

Advanced Mega Control:
You can control a second Sony CD changer with this unit if it:
(1) Has a control A1 (or Control A1II) Jack and
(2) The command mode of the unit can be set to CD3
The 2nd Unit's RCA outputs are connected to the RCA inputs of this unit (marked 2ND CD) and the control 1 jack is connected between both units. When the CD players are connected in this way you can load the Disc Memos of the second CD player to this unit's memory if the second player has Disc Memo. You can label the discs of the second player using this unit or change the discs memos which you load from the second player. When you do this you are using this player's memory, so you can not display them on the second CD player display. A total of up to 800 Disc Memos of up to 20 characters each may be loaded. The controls of both units will function.  When you press the play button on either unit the operating player stops and the resting player starts.
You can also use:
·
No-Delay Play:
Play changes from player to player after each track. The player starts play without a break in sound immediately after the current player ends play (skips lead-in portion and starts playing from where sound actually begins)
·
X-Fade Play:
Play changes from player to player after each track OR at a specified interval of 30, 60 or 90 seconds. When players change the sound output of both players is mixed, with one player fading out and the other fading in
Custom files:
The player stores four types of custom file information for each disc:
Disc Memo: Label discs with names up to 20 characters
Delete Bank: Deletes unwanted tracks from CDs
Group file: Group discs in up to eight groups. Each disc can only be in one group. Group files can be used in continuous, shuffle or repeat play. Each group can be given a group memo of up to 13 characters.
Artist File: artist names may be entered for 200 discs; each name can contain up to 20 characters. Once names have been entered, discs can be classified by artist name.
Custom files
are stored in the player's memory. If the player is not used for about one month you will lose custom file information. Custom files can be erased one at a time or all at once. CD-Text information can not be replaced by a Disc memo file. Deleted tracks are skipped even in Shuffle play and program mode. All deleted tracks can be recovered simultaneously.
Programs:
You can create up to three programs each of which can contain up to 32 steps (track or entire disc).
CD Text:
When playing a CD with CD Text the display will show you the current disc title, artist name and track title if it is recorded on the CD. A CD-Text indicator lights up on the display whenever the player detects a CD with CD-Text information. If the CD Text information is available in various languages, you can select the language that the information is displayed in.
Jog dial:
There is a jog dial on the unit for quick selection of discs and a second jog dial on the unit for track selection.
Last disc memory:
When the player is turned off it will remember the last playing disc and the play mode. When the unit is turned on again it plays the same disc in the same mode.
Control A1II jack:
There is a control input for synchronized recording and auto function when used with compatible Sony components.  Although this player can control a Sony CD Player with ControlA1, this unit
cannot be correctly operated by a Sony CD player with Control A1. This unit can be controlled only by another unit with Control A1II. If you are using a ControlA1 CD player as a second player, this Unit should always be used as the Master.
Name Scan:
Allows you to quickly locate a disc by scanning disc names on the unit's display.
Name Search:
You can search for a disc by inputting the first character used in the Disc Name.
Easy Play:
By pressing the Easy Play button on the player the rotary tray will automatically move to the slot 1 position for easy insertion of a single disc. If the Easy Play button is pressed again it will start playing the disc in slot 1.
Disc skip:
The player has a +100 disc key which allows you to skip 100 discs at a time for easier access when using the Jog Dial for disc selection.
Timer:
The player is compatible with an optional external audio timer.
Hit list:
This will allow you to store up to 32 tracks which can be selected immediately.  You can label the 32 tracks in your Hit List with up to 20 characters. CD Text CD tracks in the Hit List are stored automatically when placed in the Hit List.
On-Screen Display:

QUALITY PROFESSIONAL PACKING:
SEE THE LAST TWO PHOTOS IN THE LISTING
Before you buy anything you should always ask the seller how it will be packed, professionally as we pack or just tossed in a skin-tight box with crumpled newspaper.  An educated consumer does not just compare price, he/she also compares packing because we all know how FedEx and USPS handle packages! - What good is something priced cheap if it arrives damaged?
IT'S YOUR MONEY!
Quality packing ensures safe delivery and costs the seller money.  That is why many sellers ship in the tiniest box, crumpled newspaper and use a single sheet of bubble wrap.
How do we know?
We buy online also and know that first hand!
We pride ourselves on professional packing!   All items are first wrapped in
stretch wrap then in several
layers
of bubble wrap and placed in an oversized box that is
double or triple walled
on the side panels so there are
several
inches of packing material and strong styrofoam supports between the item and the outside of the box (SEE PHOTOS).   This means the item will not move within the box nor should it ever touch the outside of the box if dropped, where damage can occur.
All boxes are
BRAND NEW
!   We
NEVER
re-use previously used boxes!   We do not go cheap just to make a sale and pray it arrives safely.  We know how FedEx and USPS handle packages.
READ THE FEEDBACK WE HAVE RECEIVED FOR OUR PROFESSIONAL PACKING!
========================================
SHIPPING OPTIONS
IMPORTANT
:
eBay
requires
that ALL Fedex shipping labels printed through their service have a US (continental 48 states only) residential or commercial address.
If your eBay "SHIP TO" is not to a residential or commercial address in the continental United States,
you cannot select any FEDEX shipping service.
The ship to address cannot contain "Box", "P.O. Box", "Post Office Box", "APO", "Hawaii", "Puerto Rico", "VI", "Guam", etc.
FedEx
delivers to
residential or commercial addresses ONLY.  If you are not at home FedEx will leave the package at your door.  If you do not want the item left at the door unattended, please contact us
before
paying for the item so we can add signature service (FedEx charges approx .00 for this service).
Once the invoice has been paid we
cannot
make changes.
FedEx
does not
ship to HI, AK, PR, Post Office Boxes, or APO's without an additional (expensive) surcharge
- Priority Mail is available for these destinations
USPS Priority Mail
shipping is also an option if you prefer and is the ONLY method to ship to APO, PR, AK, HI and Post Office  Box buyers as FEDEX does not ship to these addresses without an
expensive
surcharge added
USPS Parcel Select/Retail Ground Service
-
Due to the high rate of damaged packages and because this service takes up to 2 weeks to go coast to coast... and because it is
NOT
insured, I prefer not to use this terrible service.    AND THIS SERVICE USUALLY COSTS MORE THAN FEDEX which usually takes 4-5 days coast to coast!   Again, It's your time AND money!
ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE
:
The "delivery date" you see is an
eBay generated estimate
.
This date is not stated, verified nor is it guaranteed by the USPS, UPS or FedEx nor by the seller and should be used as an "
ESTIMATE
" and not a 'set-in-stone'
delivery date.
Check the tracking number with the carrier for the exact delivery date as it varies depending on the weather (floods, hurricanes, etc), shipper work-load or time of year.
HANDLING TIME
:
Due to the great care we take in packing electronics, this item will be shipped within TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS after receipt of clear payment.  That means that if you pay on a Thursday or Friday, it will be shipped the following week - FedEx does not ship on weekends!
========================================
DAMAGE/INSURANCE CLAIMS
If it arrives with physical damage not shown in the photos and not stated in the description,  an insurance claim can be filed with the shipper in accordance with eBay buyer protection policy.
As the person in possession of the item and who can point out the physical damage, it will be quicker for you to file the claim and then present the item for inspection should the shipper require it prior to processing the claim.
The shipper
requires
that you retain all packing materials and the box and present them along with the unit to the shipper if they request an inspection.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE BOX AND ALL PACKING FOR A CLAIM.
A claim usually takes 5-7 business days to be processed.
