Just picked a floor model up for $320. (I hope that's a steal.)
Anyway, it seems that none of my DVDs or CDs have the text embedded in them. I had to add a memo to every one of them.
Are there any tricks or tips I should know to operate this thing? (i.e. What's that second line for in the Explorer entry. It looks like I should be able to add more than 16 characters per disk.)

Any help or suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Six, the price was terrific; twice that would be decent. I don't know about the problems you are having, though. I'm going to guess by your questions you are missing a manual. Sony should be able to help you and/or answer your questions. Plus, someone else here will no doubt chime in, so be patient.

Six:

The second line in the Disc Explorer is not for your use. I'm not sure it is used for anything. Yes, you can only enter 16 characters for a disc. Suggestion, use a keyboard it is much easier.

As far as the price goes, Best Buy had it for $500. I would say you got a deal.

Enjoy the Show!

You definitely made a good deal. The second empty line can not be edited (and a manual doesn't help, I'm afraid). I have only found a few Region 1 discs with text and pictures embedded (e.g. Proof of Life and 2 out of the 3 Die Hard movies in the Trilogy).

Only a few DVD's have the text on them. Mostly from Sony(duh). I would STRONGLY suggest getting a key board. You can enter the titles much faster. I can type all of mine in, in about 30 min. And, that is over 120 disks.

I just got a dvp 870D, I read someplace that many people were complaining about jamming. When I first set my unit up it did jam allot, I bacame disappointed right off the bat. I have found however that a DVD jacket under the front of the unit to give a bit of a tilt has corrected this issue 100%, no jams in the past 1.5 weeks, no jams since the first day, and it was jamming every 4 - 8 disks during the initial load.

I will be removing the disk jacket and then removing the rear feet, this will look better I am sure.

Thought I would write this tip in case anyone else had a problem.

Jwilliams I use Dr. Sholl's blister pads for the feet they may be pink (you could
use a marker). They are cheaper by far than ruining Disc cases!
