Using a PC to control a Sony CX995V Changer

[talmazor]

I just purchased a Sony CX995V 400 disc changer and while I'm happy with the quality of the picture and the general functionality, the onscreen title interface really needs work.

I've looked at many of the products out there, like the Fireball for the 777 model, and the interface is very cool, but generally a simply product for a lot of money. Not to mention that the Fireball doesn't work with the CX995V.

Has anyone setup a PC to control their CX995V? I would really like to display a nice interface via the PC to my home theater and be able to select a DVD, which would trigger the changer to load the corresponding disc without spending an ungodly amount of money.

Thanks.

Id rip them to a your pc and use a media software program or go with just the stand alone unit, like the fireball or some from elan http://www.elanhomesystems.com/entertainment_sources.asp, even the mx2000 from yamaha, would work with the cds.
