I have the Sony DVP-CX975. It is a good player but the disc management is slow and a bit frustrating. I believe the 985 will operate similarly. I would consider getting a new 777ES on ebay for around $660 shipped or the 985 for a little more than half. They look very similar. I have a Pioneer elite 100 disc cd player on another system. It is much faster for playing cd's but doesn't have the disc explorer feature that shows up on screen. With 400 discs this is a valuable feature though slow to operate.
