5Good Solid CD Changer With Some Extra Features
By mp3support@wi.rr.com
I purchased an Onkyo C-390 refurb model a few months back and have had magnificent results. I burn my own music CDs on blank CDR or CDRW media using the CD burner on my Home PC. The C-390 tracks everything I've thrown at it very accurately without a hitch. It even plays MP3 files burned onto CD. Plus the remote control unit is full featured and works flawlessly.

There are two digital connections, a digital fiber optic TOSlink and a digital coax connection on the back of the unit. I use the fiber optic TOSlink connection to my reciever. A digital connection will give you the purest output. There is also the typical analog RCA jack connection.

The only flaw I have to report is the carrousel makes a bit of a whirling noise when altering CDs. This is NOT reproduced through to the speakers but is merely low-level ambient room noise. Other than that one minor quibble I may give this CD Changer my most eminent recommendation.

5Onkyo has done it again!!! Yes!!! Superb!!!
By Justo Roteta
This 6-disc CD changer from the audio experts at Onkyo is most unquestionably an unbeatable value. It's sound quality distinctly rivals that of other high-end players costing up to three times as much! The construction is very, very sturdy and the remote control is very easy to use. The sound quality is all-around-excellent with smooth and deep bass, an almost-crystal-clear midrange and a well-defined treble (highs). If you're looking for a good CD changer priced at beneath $300.00 this is the one to get.

1Ratings- Audio: 5, Changer: 2, Support: 0
By P. Doubek
Well, buying this player was a mistake. We were in a hurry to find a multi-disk changer before our wedding. I always thought Onkyo was a good name and I had found some favorable reviews. The audio is fine with this player, but when it comes to 2/3 of the time it won't recognize CDs. It doesn't matter if the CDs are commercially devised or home-burned, and I keep my CDs in very good shape so it's not a matter of fingerprints and scratches. It's also interesting that if I advance to regarding track 3 until the CD is recognized and then back up to track 1 it will ordinarily work... what a pain in the ___. It's done this since day one but with the wedding arrangements I didn't have time to return it to the vendor within the primary 30 days.

Now the changer is bad, but so far attempting to get through to their support has been even worse! For 4 months I've been attempting to call in at dissimilar times of dissimilar days for the duration of their support hours. First off, I always get "your call will be answered in 59 minutes". After in regards to 30 minutes I distinctively can't wait any longer so I have to hang up. Once I let it go on for 30+ minutes than was disconnected. This morning we're up to 66 minutes (since I started this I'm up to 72 minutes) on the phone timer and they say the call will be answered in 8 minutes. If I get anyplace with them I'll update the review, but my current opinion is DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS COMPANY'S PRODUCTS, particularly this model CD changer.
