DVD player with 5 Disc changer?

I just can't find one that's good. For example, I had settled on what I thought was a good one. It's the SONY DVPNC85H, and it's available for less than $150. Everything sounds great except the shuffle option (the only reason to get multi changer). According to reviews on Amazon, the shuffle only works on the current disc. What? Sony was just lazy. Anyone know of one without these stupid flaws?

I have the Onkyo DV-CP704. It shuffles across all 6 discs, CDs and DVDs included. It also has 24 bit DAC. It's a little noisy when it swaps discs, but I don't mind at all.

While these are more expensive because they also handle SACD and DVD-A, you should check out the Yamaha C950 and the Marantz VC6001.

Also David, regarding the Onkyo, CNET says that the sound output is only Stereo. That can't be right, can it? Does it handle ProLogic and such?

Mine came from www.6ave.com, it was about $170.00

According to the manual on page 6, the Onkyo DV-CP704 features Dolby Digital, and DTS Digital.

And Rick is correct, it does not support SACD formats. Here is a list from page 7 of the supported discs:

DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, Audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, JPEG CD

You can download the PDF of the manual at www.onkyousa.com

Happy new year!

I don't care in the least about shuffle, so I'm hoping this unit is the way to go. Yamaha 950 supposedly has lip synch issues in a major way, so I am avoiding that. Not sure of any other good options for 5-disc changer that upscales.
