Customer Ratings & Reviews

My old 5 disc changer (different brand) broke this past year and I was having a hard time finding a new one. I found this one at Best Buy and could not be happier with it! It is perfect for my stereo component system!

Excellent sound quality at a reasonable price. Changer works well. Easy to install and use.

Easy to use. Sound quality good. Compact and easy to use for beginners.

Good sound. Easy to set up. Can play multiple disks. Has Bluetooth capability.

Very easy to set up. Love the 6 CD capacity and sound quality. Good value and great price.

6 CDS and press random, love it. Can listen to my favorites all day

My 7-CD magazine-style changer died and is no longer made, so I had to settle for a tray changer. That said, this player does a decent job of loading up and playing 6 CDs. It's a bit cumbersome to add and remove CDs from the tray (takes a bit of rotating the tray back and forth to access all 6 CDs). It's also not completely straightforward to play the exact CD and track you want (which requires figuring out how each CD is numbered). But especially for the price, it does a fine job.

It's not easy to even find carousel CD changers in 2017. Folks seem to think the worldof music listening is totally streamed. Some forget than millions of us still have vinyl records, not to mention mountains of CDs... all of which we love. So, should you like to select your OWN music, that you've owned for years, this is the machine. Being digital in nature, the CD music sound is flawless. Sometimes the 'random' feature doesn't work perfectly... but life goes on regardless. A nice machine.

simple set up. I used the coax cable install The unit plays cds great . very happy

I bought this item on an emergency basis to replace a venerable high-end unit that finally failed after close to 20 years of service. Given the price point, my expectations were not high as to sound quality but much to my surprise it sounds quite reasonable. It probably won't be confused with an audiophile, top-of-the-line model but on a "bang for the buck" basis, it's very much worth considering.

I still enjoy listening to my cd collection verses other formats. This player allows me to load up to 6 cd's and have continuous music playing in the order/sequence that I like.

Very reasonably priced item and sound quality is very good

Easy set. Very reasonable price. Easy to operate for my 91 year old mom

Worked great out of the box. Easy to install. Plays multiple CDs.

I bought this unit to complement my stereo system. I was familiar with the Onkyo brand, as they made my father's tape deck, which is the only component of his stereo that has never needed replacing. This 6 disc changer has been an excellent addition to my stereo. The player is very easy to use, and has flawlessly played every disc I have put into it. And you can't beat the price for such a nice machine!

It is easy to connect and very clear display and controls. It is large so check dimensions before you buy.

I was happy to find a carousel CD changer still being made. In fact, it's the only one I could find when I went looking. Onkyo is a well established brand so I had no qualms about my purchase. Unfortunately, I think they know they have no competition in this segment, as the unit lacks some features I had come to expect from similar devices I have owned in the past. Also there have been a number of issues with it reading discs. First, what I felt was missing. My last CD carousel had a 'spiral' feature. When you pressed this button. the machine would play one track from a disc, then move on to the next disc, and so on. This could then be combined with the random mode, so that the track played from each disc was chosen at random. This would continue until all tracks on all discs were played. The beauty of this was when everybody in the room wanted to hear different music, we'd each select a few discs, load the machine, and everyone had an equal chance of hearing their music spread evenly. Also, there were multiple randomization modes on my old unit. Pressing it once would just shuffle the current disc, while pressing it twice would shuffle the entire load of discs. In contrast, this unit has no 'spiral' feature. And random will only shuffle the entire load, no option for only one disc without removing anything else in the tray. The disc read issues have me thoroughly confused. I will often leave the same six discs in the player for a few days, sometimes over a week. Typically they all play fine. But every once in a while it will decide that a disc that played just fine earlier that day (or even for the past few days) is now dirty, and skips as if it is covered in fingerprints. I am wondering if a manufacturing issue means that sometimes the laser has difficulty tracking, or if maybe when the unit gets warm enough the laser has trouble focusing. Or maybe there are bugs in the software. Power cycling the unit will sometimes clear the issue, but this is an unreliable remedy. Overall, it does most of what I want. But it's unreliable behavior, coupled with missing features that I expected at this price point, makes me wish that there had been at least ONE other competing unit to choose from.

Really like the sound quality and the number of CDs it holds! Took a while to hook up---but nothing good comes easily I guess?

I bought the Onkyo 6-disc CD player to replace a 90’s Yamaha 5-disc changer. I had very few problems with my old model, especially skipping. The Onkyo carousel is smooth and quiet, easily functions with remote. My objection is that with almost every play I have to reposition each disc or wipe the disc due to skipping, mostly on the first 2 tracks. My discs are well cared for. I made sure the unit was level, but with wood floors, there may be a little bounce on the foundation. I can think of no other reason that this unit would be so “high-maintenance”. It is a nice unit , otherwise. It pairs well with my Yamaha receiver. I do miss the single track repeat function of my Yamaha.

Very good product. The price is reasonable and really easy to use.
