Good Solid CD Changer With Some Extra Features

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.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Onkyo has done it again!!! Yes!!! Superb!!!
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.

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 about 2/3 of the time it won’t recognize CDs. It doesn’t matter if the CDs are commercially produced 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 about track 3 until the CD is recognized and then back up to track 1 it will usually 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 first 30 days.

Now the changer is bad, but so far trying to get through to their support has been even worse! For 4 months I’ve been trying to call in at different times of different days during their support hours. First off, I always get “your call will be answered in 59 minutes”. After about 30 minutes I typically 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 anywhere with them I’ll update the review, but my current opinion is DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS COMPANY’S PRODUCTS, especially this model CD changer.
