I have a Sony DVP CX870D

Now I have also read elsewhere and someone commented here about the CX870 DVD changer mis-feeding or jamming. I had that problem at first, when I was reading in my DVD's it would only do a few of them, maybe 5 - 15 depending if I was lucky and then it would jam.

After reading them in Sometimes it would get the wrong DVD when loading or try to pull two of them, or jam when it was trying to eject one.

I FIXED ALL OF THIS!!

I had all of these problems for about the first half of the first day, back in the middle November.

When trying to load a DVD the unit would often look like it was trying to 'grab' a DVD and could not get it, as if the DVD were sitting to far forward in the cradle.

I put an empty DVD case under the front center of the unit to prop it up at an angle.

Every since that very moment I have not jammed, misfed or anything of the like, not one time.

Now having the DVD case under the front of the unit is generic, I admit, and you should not have to do it.

All I can say is when your changer is running without a hitch, man it is sweet.

I hope this little hint helps someone, I am going to cut and paste this is a new post as I suspect many people will not see it.

Have you checked the level of the unit with a carpenter's level to see if the shelf is level or tilted? I had a similar problem with a JVC but it was sitting level and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

I have not checked that, I will take a look at is. It does seem however that it needs this excessive tilting.

You say you had a JVC that WAS level and you could not figure it out, what did you end up doing with it?
