  • Now Elated but was at first disappointed

    My first few hours of experience with the product were not good. I threw in an old classic cd and the skipping was bad despite the disk being visually flawless. I put same disk in my 2002 denon dnd9000 and the previously skipping disk played perfectly. Turns out the Yamaha sc303 needed a firmware update. Avoid initial disappointment by updating firmware ware before playing your first disc. I found the Best Buy total tech support via chat to be extremely ineffective. I called Yamaha and quickly resolved my issue after a few minutes of discovery. They recommended firmware update which took 2 minutes.

    Wonderful build and design. But doesn’t play certain CD’S display artist names, it skips when playing CD’S sometimes. Basically most of the features aren’t working properly…

    I was going to buy the Onkyo 6 disk CD player but I went with this option since it comes with a remote and a USB port to play MP3 and FLAC files. I connected it to my Sonos 5 as a component to my system and it works great! I don’t really have any complaints.

    Solid player. Great specs re: playback THD. TOSLINK optical output is beneficial for using external high bit rate DAC. Better overall specs than other comparable players.
