Multi-Disc DVD Changers & Mega-Changers
Do you DVD? Helping you choose the right DVD player
For the ultimate convenience, go with a multi-disc DVD changer or
mega-changer. A five-disc changer is only about $50 more than the
comparably equipped single-disc DVD player, but offers the convenience and
utility of a changer design. You can load up any combination of DVD-Videos
or audio CDs for non-stop movie and music entertainment. Most offer
a play-exchange feature, where you can continue to view a DVD-Video or
listen to an audio CD, while changing out the other discs.
