ONKYO DX-C390 6-Disc CD Changer

Summary: Mellifluous is a Mild Sonic Equivalent Term for this Machine
Review: After eleven years my old Sony five disk changer finally fatally failed. I quickly searched the internet for a replacement. Amazon.com was the first place to search. After a short wait of about one week I had the DX-C390 hooked up to my Legacy high-current amp and played Kenny G through $6K Legacy speakers. The result was a sonorous banquet of rich,crisp and accurate sound.
This is like getting a new stereo system for less than $200.00.
I have chosen wisely.

Summary: Onkyo DX-C390 CD Changer - Poor Quality Unit
Review: After purchasing this changer I will never buy another Onkyo component again. Approximately 20% of my CD's will not play in the random (shuffling)mode, those that do play will frequently stop playing, the display timer does not work, and Onkyo's customer service is non existent.

When I contacted Onkyo about the problems the only recourse I was offered was to return it to the point of purchase for an exchange. I did not consider this a fair solution since J&R is 3,000 miles and 2-3 weeks away via UPS. There is an authorized Onkyo repair shop a couple of blocks away from me, but Onkyo refused to assist me by dealing through them. I have decided to just cut my losses, just go buy another brand of CD changer.and tell anyone who asks what I think of Onkyo products.

Summary: Good Solid CD Changer With Some Extra Features
Review: I bought an Onkyo C-390 refurb model a few months back and have had excellent 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 changing CDs. This is NOT reproduced through to the speakers but is simply low-level ambient room noise. Other than that one minor quibble I can give this CD Changer my highest recommendation.

Summary: Don't Buy Refurbished
Review: I bought the refurb version of this player, and am sorry that I did. The tray on the first one wouldn't close all the way. The second one (yea, silly me...)wouldn't play, and the turntable wouldn't turn. Both times, this was right out of the box. I'm out $30 for having to ship these back. I guess that I'll have to repair my 15 year old Sony.

Summary: Onkyo has done it again!!! Yes!!! Superb!!!
Review: This 6-disc CD changer from the audio experts at Onkyo is most definitely an unbeatable value. It's sound quality clearly 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 under $300.00 this is the one to get.

Summary: Clean, Clear Sound
Review: This is a GREAT sounding CD changer that's very easy to operate! Onkyo seems to have covered the installation bases by offering optical, coaxial and analog output choices. The changer mechanism is quiet and relatively quick. The remote is very straight forward. Also, light above the tray is a useful feature when changing discs. An all around top quality unit. Do your CD and MP3 collection a favor-your ears will appreciate it!
