Well satisfied after one month. I wish that markings on front of unit were a little more readable, same for the remote,even if it means making it a little larger. bt

My Onkyo only lasted about 18 months before dying(i.e not playing cds correctly). 18 months! sheesh!
The one best feature is that it plays mp3s.
It's drawbacks:
1. It takes about 20 seconds to power up before you can insert a cd.
2. The rewind/ fastforward ONLY works by using the REMOTE ,and not on the machine itself, and works poorly.
When this thing finally started dying, it would play 10 seconds of a cd, then skip to the next, play 10 seconds of THAT cd, move on,,etc
I was happier with my old Sony.

I've given this poor machine intensive, 16/24 hs usage since I bought it, and I only had to take it to the repair shop once. The laser broke down, repair wasn't cheap, but I suppose it happens with all brands. Thus, I don't take any "stars" for that.
Support for not very well known brands (in the developing world) like Onkyo is absent, but thankfully Sony services can fix them properly. "Made in Japan" :)!

I like the fact of being able to change most CDs while listening, the sound quality is grea, maybe the opening slot for the CD tray could have a tighter door for not letting any dust in, but, as usual, Onkyo just delivers.

The RCA connections made some noise some time ago, it just ruined everything... After hours of tampering and changing of amplifier, cables, speakers, I made sure it was it, opened it (there's not much to be seen), then handmade some "guide" for the cable not bending and voila, the noise went away.
I'm sure it would have taken less time for a tech-savy user, but it did break some "romantic moments"... That's why I took 1 star.

The product was delivered as advertised - with manual and (unused) remote. The changer works flawlessly and the unit offers surprisingly good sound for the price - even better than the more expensive 1-disk unit it replaced. Works equally well with commercial and computer-made CDs. Two very small caveats: (1) it's big (though smaller than others in its price range) and barely fits into my cabinet (I had to loosen the rear cover to keep the cables from being crushed against the back) - measure first (or cut a hole in the back)! (2) the control buttons are well placed but it's hard to read their small labels to operate the unit (fortunately, the bottons are easy to memorize). I highly recommend this unit.

I was looking for a CD changer that was moderately priced but high quality. I've only had this for a month but so far but I think I found what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this product.
