Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is a very good unit. It’s everything I expected. Sound quality is terrific ease of use.

This is the third, maybe the fourth of these Onkyo CD players that I’ve had. So, I suppose you could say I like them. Well, the features are pretty good. You can change all the discs except the playing disc without stopping the music. Nifty enough, but the cost is that this is an extra deep machine. You need to make allowance for it on your shelving. It also seems to be a little slow on rotating around and reading discs. But the big issue is that they only last perhaps five years. I took my last one apart to see why it didn’t work any longer. As far as I could see it was just one cheap plastic cog that had failed. But the machine was not going back together so I had to buy a new one. Here’s the truth, unless you go up to real audiophile machines for more dollars, this is about the only budget multi-player around - so you’re kind of stuck. I sure wish they lasted longer.

After 25 years my old Pioneer 6 disc cartridge player finally gave up. I checked Pioneer's website but they no longer made a CD changer like my old one. I then searched the internet for CD player changers and started reading reviews. The one feature I loved about my old Pioneer was the ability to play random tracks from random CD's. The Onkyo DX-C390 fit the bill and the reviews were positive by in large. We play CD's every evening when we can sit on the patio, sip a glass of wine and listen to our music. The random play works wonderfully and the sound is crisp and clear. I didn't realize how tired my old Pioneer had gotten but this Onkyo unit is a wonderful replacement.

Just as advertised. The unit was easy to install and sounds great. It is a bit larger, deeper, than other units but it still fit ok in my cabinet.

For audiophiles like myself who acquired hundreds of classical and jazz CDs in the 90s and early 2000s before streaming, having a 6-disc player still available is a bonus. Easy to install and good sound quality. Prior player of same brand lasted 10+ years. These days such longevity is hard to find.

I was needing a new player when I found this CD changer (Onkyo DX-C390). However, I read with trepidation reviews saying it displayed a high frequency prominence. Taking the previous information into consideration my decision to purchase was greatly influenced by its sale price which was a very nice reduction below regular pricing. Also in its favor, other reviews mentioned the player operated with a finesse that was matched by few other players. When I first listened I had to agree the sound was somewhat out of kilter, tilted appreciably toward the top end. However, after some break-in time, the playback became noticeably smoother and better balanced. The sound has improved through out my ownership (several months). It no longer produces the strident upper octaves as it did when it was new. I haven't just become used to its sound because I have other players to compare. Its handling of the six discs is impecable. It performs with a surety that inspires confidence in the handling of my discs. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

It's wonderful to see Onkyo continue to manufacture a 6-Disc CD Player. My CD's sound great when played through this unit, along with my analog Yamaha amplifier and Infinity speakers. The Onkyo unit is designed very well, functions perfectly, and was easy to install. I am exceptionally pleased with this product, and it was terrific that BestBuy had it available for purchase in-store for pick-up.

I found this 6-disc CD player to have all of the features I need including random play capability. Installation was straight forward and easily connected to my other components. Not my number one criteria, but I find it attractive as well. I have not had this unit long enough to comment on reliability but the sound quality works well with my amp and speakers.

It operates very smooth and quietly. It’s got all the right functions and everything I was looking for. The sound quality is superb, and it looks great! I was replacing a Sony CD player that lasted me 15 years. I believe I’ve found the right one!

I purchased this Onkyo CD player to replace an old Sony 60 CD player that lasted us many years. It was an AM/FM, CD player with its own speakers. I couldn't find anything like it so we decided to get a standard multiplayer for our receiver. I've had Onkyo products in the past and considered them to be high end equipment. This CD player was easy to set up and easy to use. It also looks really nice. The only thing I find as a slight issue, is that it seems to be very sensitive and skips relatively easily. The first day I got it, my 6 year old granddaughter wanted to hear one of her cds and she began dancing around a bit and the CD would skip. I didn't think too much about it then because she was really jumping around, but the next day, I played one my own cds and as I was just walking near the player, it skipped a couple of times. We live in an older home with hardwood floors so there is always some vibration, but I would think that the dampening mechanism in this player would be able to handle some vibration. Apparently not as much as you would think. It is however a very nice player and looks good as well. Just don't play "Old McDonald" for your 6 year old granddaughter with it.

Bought this to add a cd play to my stereo system. Was easy to add to reciever and was able to set up in minutes. Cd player can hold up to 6 cds in row and comes with a remote. Great for long music play and you can even change cds while the current cd is playing, making it great to keep the music going. Would recommend to anyone.

Brilliant. Huge but brilliant. Operates in the old fashioned way by putting the discs in holders in a circle side by side, then rotating between discs. Operates beautifully though, on the sound is lovely and rich. Haven't tried programming it yet. I'm just happy to be be able to put on 6 hours of music at a time and go on with my day.

Sadly this is the only multi-disc CD changer/player that I could find anywhere to replace my prior unit, which died, I guess nobody plays CDs anymore! However the unit is sturdy, has great sound quality, and matched up well with my receiver and cassette player (!) that are also both made by Onkyo. Their components usually last a long, long time. The only drawback to this unit (as opposed to the SONY 5-CD player I had previously) is that it does not display the number of tracks/current track playing on the display, a feature that I used a lot on the SONY. It will tell you the CD has 12 tracks, but you won't know which track is actually playing. Oh well, better than nothing!

Great sound, multiple changer, and it was easy to set up.

With one hundred+ CDs in our library going back 30 years, we had stopped playing them when our Sony 5-CD carousel died after 25 years. We played singles occasionally on our DVD player, but it was a hassle. Like playing LP records or 45s. Being able to load 6 CDs and have random play creates a surprise playlist every time. Great quality and sound. It's like having old friends back in the house.

With the ease-of-use that comes along with streaming music, most people have forgotten thet CDs, tapes, and vinyl are still alive and sound way better. Smart speakers are nice, but nothing beats a good stereo, and there's something about selecting what album you want to listen to and firing it up that makes the experience more special. Having said that, and stepping off the soap box, we bought this CD changer because we listen to our rather large CD collection and wanted something to replace our aging single-disc Technics player. I had some doubts at first, but this Onkyo works very well and sounds terrific. It's proof that you can find a good-sounding CD changer without paying through the nose for it. Honestly, there's nothing bad to say about it.

this is a very good CD player. The DAC in it is very good and the cd placement in the tray is easy. There is a learning curve when using the remote otherwise it’s a great CD deck.

Works well, easy to set up but wish it wasn't so deep. Depth makes it nearly impossible to put in a closed console. Miss my vertically stacked Pioneer cd player, it took up less room. Hard to find multiple cd players for those of us that still enjoy cds!

I purchased this Onkyo CD player to replace an old Sony player that was on its last legs and couldn't be happier. The sound is amazing and as an open-box purchase from my local store the price was great. It's nice to see that, even though CD technology is old, you can still buy quality equipment at a good price.

I can finally listen to my sizeable cd collection. I dont experience any skipping and rhe sound quaility is superb. Im using mine with powered speakers so you dont need a receiver.
