DVD Changers

Hi Everyone
I am looking for a DVD changer and was looking at the Sony
777ES.

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this?

If I puchased one from the US would it be possible to have
if modified in Aus to allow it to play all regions?

Cheers
cocoboy

Pioneer make a couple which you can get converted in the US and they will
play PAL DVDs ok - reckon on approx 600 USD. The later Sonys will not play
PAL however so beware....

Thanks to all the responses.
I am more after the mega changers with 300+ DVD storage.
Is there anything like that available in Aust?

AMX made a system called the MAX system which is used to store all your DVD's on a hard drive system. This is likely to set you back about $40K tho... (It's been a year so my memory could be may out...)

What possible use could there be in having that many disks quickly accessible?
