| I was looking for a CD changer that was moderately priced but high quality. I've only had this for a month but so far but I think I found what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this product. |

| Recently bought this unit as an upgrade. I really prefer a multi-disc changer with a random function, versus a single disc player, as a way to mix up some favorite discs. The audio is simply excellent. I am hearing all the detail I would expect in a high-end single disc player. I note very little noise from the unit as the discs change, and silence through the speakers as this occurs. As others have mentioned, check the dimensions on this one relative to your cabinet, because it's a legit 17" x 17". |

"Good but it didn't stand out from the crowd" | 2008-08-30 |

| My old Technics turntable CD changer recently died. I purchased it back in the early 1990's. Since I had an Onkyo receiver, I decided to try out this Onkyo turntable CD changer. While it is a good and reliable product, it didn't really stand out from other CD changers I have seen and heard. Some people have remarked that when they bought this new CD changer that they could hear a real improvement in the sound quality of their music CDs. It sounded the same to me as my old Technics. No better. No worse. I would think in about 15 years they would have been able to make it sound better. My speakers are very high quality and if it had been better, I would have heard it. Additionally, my old Technics had a unique feature that seems to have disappeared from turntable CD changers. It could play the first track from each CD, then the second track and so on. My wife and I really liked this feature. While the Onkyo does support 6 CDs, I would have preferred to have had this style of sequential play. This is a good CD changer, but it doesn't really stand out from the crowd. In Onkyo's defense, this is a good CD changer but I doubt many, if any CD changers stand out from the crowd these days. CD changers are not cutting edge technology anymore. Most are pretty much the same and no one seems to be doing much to make one better from another. |

"Excellent CD Player" | 2008-08-05 |

| I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I purchased an optical cable and connected it my Onkyo receiver. I've even played MP3's recorded to CD-R on this unit. Was surprised to see the MP3 title info displayed on the screen. No complaints whatsoever. Using the Onkyo control system, whenever I turn on the CD player it automatically turns on my receiver and switches to the CD input. Also, if I turn off the receiver the CD player is turned off. Great system! |

| random play sometimes plays all discs, sometimes does not. I always clean my discs, but sometimes they skip on this player. I've owned a Pioneer cd player for 25 years and never have had a problem with it.. Not very pleased with the unit that I just purchased. Thanks |

"Good, but BIG" | 2008-06-22 |

| I did a lot of research and chose this player based on reviews from a lot of sources. The decider was that it had a coax digital out, and my receiver has a coax CD input available. (It also has optical digital and analog outputs.) The only thing to consider is size. Width and height are no issues, but this thing is deep. It wouldn't fit in my cabinet, so it sits on top. The ony drawback is that you have to start random play from the unit, not the remote. NBD, I would do it again. |

"Refurbished Player Dead-On-Arrival" | 2008-06-22 |

I have had good experience with Onkyo refurbs in the past, so it was a shocker when the tray of this refurbished Onkyo DXC390 6 Disc CD Player would not open when first powered up no matter what steps I took and "Mech error" appeared on the display. Onkyo seemed to prefer that I return the player to Amazon for refund, but I chose to submit it for repair under their warranty to a service agent about 20 miles away. When is "refurbished" refurbished? |

"Random doesn't work" | 2008-06-04 |

| Beware of this product. Mine didn't work correctly out of the box; random wouldn't work at all and even sequential play would not always find tracks. After conversing with the manufacturer it was determined the unit was defective and to send it back at my cost, which was $50. I would not purchase this unit again. Too bad as the sound of the unit was very good, much better than I expected. |

So glad to find a receiver and amp that can drive my 50w Design Acoustics speakers again! For true stereo nothing beats it. Thought they were gone forever! |
