Completely useless. Although I did buy his player a year and a half ago, I'd say I'd be lucky if I listened to 10 CD's on it in that time. I bought a new model too, not a refurbished one. I hadn't turned it on in 6 months or so and when I did so today, it just stayed on standy mode and wouldn't turn on. Nothing helped like unplugging it or trying to turn it on with the remote. This is the first Onlyo product I ever bought, and it will be the last. Now I remember why I always stuck to Sony players.
Although love my mp3 players and music, roots go back to vinyl and then of course cd.(i.e., listening to music through quality headphones or in front of my large JBL's) My trusty old pioneer muti-disc finally died. (and can be turned off if desired). Researched a replacement, and selected the Onkyo due to the positive reviews, and the 6 (over typical 5) disc capability. Have always respected the Onkyo name (although never owned a product), and appears unlike many other 70's or so brands, remains a 'Hi-Fi' company.Performance of player has been flawless, and build quality high (blue light over disc tray cool too. As many others have said, it is BIG. However not an issue in my case, and slid into my little component tower (barely).Highly recommend if looking for a quality multi-disc player.
Ordered subject player and received it as promised. It was a new unit in the factory box. Connected it to my speaker system and it works great. It performed super and I am well pleased with it.
Guess I know what brand to recommend for her next purchase. WORTHLESS.
I've had good luck with my Onkyo surround sound system, but after doing a little reading on how Onkyo is treating its customers with this CD player, I have to say I'll never purchase another unit of theirs again. This is the second Onkyo CD player my Grandparents have owned, and also the second Onkyo POS to die in 3 years.
Doesn't recognize CD's, the Pause light keeps going on/off randomly, it turns itself on, shows EEPROM-XXX:XX messages on the front, doesn't eject the tray half of the time, etc. I understand stuff happens, but FIX IT when it does happen.
The thing just goes haywire. My old 25 disc Pioneer changer that is all of 10+ years old is still working just fine.
Goodbye Onkyo.
Just started giving me messages "no disc", when there were clearly discs inside.By then it was too late for the return, plus it was a gift after all.I guess I kept hoping it will somehow "get better", since the friend, who gave me the CD player as a gift, really liked Onkyo, and trusted the quality of the brand, so I did not want to get rid of his gift 'just like that'. I was browsing Amazon electronics the other day, and just stumbled across this unit, and was completely shocked to see it is STILL being sold. and some of those replacement units STILL turned out to be rejects.So even though it has been stated in many different ways, let me repeat it once again:There is roughly 50/50 chance that your unit will be useless within several weeks to several months after purchase, and most likely you will not have your money refunded. Yes, it MIGHT BE a decent "quality audio" player - IF you manage to NOT get a lemon.Going by reviews on here, there is about one out of two chances of that happening, and in most cases the owners never got money back, just the product exchange if they were lucky. As I am now reading all these 1-star reviews I am glad I did not, since it obviously saved me lot more grief, frustration and wasted time on the phone with nothing to show for in the end anyway. How sweetly naive both of us were.
(of course it never 'got better', on the contrary, within about 10 months it stopped reading all of the discs altogether.).I just did not want to have to deal with it, so I never even attempted to call the customer support. which turns out to have been pretty smart thing to do. onkyo dx 390I got mine about three years ago for a Christmas, and pretty much within first two months it did THE VERY SAME THING that other reviewers mention. It will be more fun, and definitely less time-consuming and aggravating, than shopping for this thing, unpacking it, setting it up, and taking it to the dumpster shortly thereafter.(I am still a bit peeved. and that's why I am writing a review today, three years later after I threw the thing away. Unbelievable. can you tell.
after all those years of complaints. WOW. Why not just take the two benjis (the $100 dollar bills), and use them to light up a cigarette. Seeing just how blatantly indifferent attitude the company has toward taking care of their consumers is scandalous and reading all these reviews about it actually feels pretty appalling.But it is utterly incomprehensible to me, how a product, that is clearly so flawed and defective as this one, can STILL BE ON THE MARKET. . or a fireplace. :)
