I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews before ordering this unit for my wife. We needed to replace an old Fisher 150 CD player that worked great for over 10 years but recently...
I've had this product for over a year now. While it works well playing store-bought CD's, it has an issue now with some CD's that I created. It used to play them all fine, but now they will skip...
This is the second unit I've purchased and both of them initially worked quite well. However, some time between 1 - 2 years of weekly use, it stops reading the discs. I'm wondering if the optics...
UPS delivered the CD changer in an obviously damaged shipping carton. Further examination proved it to be unusable. After a delay of about a month, UPS damage control picked up the item. Have...
I bought this in Nov. 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed its continuous play of Christmas music in Dec. However, when I changed to my other CDs the problems began. The main problem is that even though it...
In our last move we misplaced (or someone accidently threw away) the cartridges that hold our cds. We don't need to buy a whole new cd player, but we will be forced to if we can't buy the cd...
I've found this player to be fairly reliable: though I had another unit Pioneer (circa ~1994 which was stolen). Both units have been to the repairer once, my first player had a lense problem, and...
This simple Sony 5 CD changer has great fidelity and is trivial to operate. This is a stable machine with few flaws. At the price, it is perfect for what I needed: a simple CD player that allows me...
Started skipping before the first piece was half over. Isn't there a good changer out there somewhere? Also, had it playing through the AUX of a single play Denon book shelf system. Sound was...
The product appears to be what we were searching for; however, we have yet to use it. Thus I can't really rate it.Sony CDPCX355 300-Disc MegaStorage CD Changer
I purchased this CD Changer and then returned it after a few weeks. The CD Changer would routinely skip the first track of every CD I played. It would skip no matter how new or old the CDs were....
This product performs as advertised. I did have some issues with MP3 discs hanging the system. The unit is extremely large, I had to cut a hole in the back of my component box to fit the unit.
The unit failed after around 9 months of light use. It basically froze up and wouldn't play, eject or respond to any commands. Sent it back for repair under warranty and didn't receive it back...
I bought this component initially because I wanted to upgrade from a single cd player to a multiple disk unit. I picked Onkyo because I already had their Amp and dual cassette deck units, and they...
Onkyo always adds a little something extra to its components. Case in point is the DX-C390, a six-disc changer. Any of the five non-spinning discs can be exchanged while the sixth continues to...
We really liked the feel of the CDC-697 when compared to other CD changers on the market. The transport deck, or carousel, feels solid as it ejects discs for exchange. In addition, you can switch...
The advertised low total harmonic distortion actually is true. The occasional disk which is buzzy with distortion sounds better than on my previous Sony player (I mean to say that I no longer have...
The Sherwood had a good sound, the only problems were (1)the remote unable to open and close tray and unable to move from disc to disc to remove from tray. (2)the tray was slow moving and had...
I am an electronic hardware test engineer so if a product doesn't work right or as advertized I send it back. The Sherwood 5090R unit works on all of my original CDs and all of my CD-Rs. I used...
This player makes my old Sony look like a clumsy tank. I enjoy it except for one problem. Scratched cds won't play. But they play fine on the boom box in the kitchen! I thought that a garage sale...
As a long time purchaser of Denon products I would not buy another Denon product. I purchased a Denon DCM - 290 Cd changer. It stopped working after 13 months. I contacted Denon, they said I could...
I'm being critical here- this is a good-sounding player. My critique would be that the sound isn't balanced- it's weighted toward the highs. Not much lows or low mids. Bright-sounding (I'm...
I had a Sony 5 Disc CD player since 1991. It finally packed it in a few days ago. For the last couple of years it would not operate on shuffle. I bought a Denon 290 from a local shop a few days...
Custom installers are hard-pressed to find good quality dedicated CD players these days, while consumers just want something that plays well and will give them many years of enjoyment. When Denon...
The higher bit digital-to-analog conversion and the propriatory Denon signal processing really work here. The sound is bold, clear and natural at the same time. This device made me start to enjoy...
"Shoddy operation makes this an unattractive choice"
I haven't been happy with this changer. It's not consistent with Denon's past history as a maker of quality components. The ability to play MP3 CDRW discs is nice. It's also nice to be able to...
Denon makes some nice, but industrial-looking components that just exude build quality. The DCM-290 5-disc changer fits this description to a tee and has the robustness of a product not likely to...
I'm being critical here- this is a good-sounding player. My critique would be that the sound isn't balanced- it's weighted toward the highs. Not much lows or low mids. Bright-sounding (I'm...
I purchased this as an upgrade to a similar unit bought 17 years ago. This DCM-27 has features the earlier model did not have: MP3 and WMA capability, most notably. The unit, now made in China,...
great till when it broke(in less than two months).
I always liked the convenience of a cd changer so that i can put some cds in and have music playing for half of the day without bothering to change the cds. The sound that came out of this player...
This Marantz 5 disk cd player is a fine piece of equipment. The controls are all easy to understand and locate, and the sound quality is excellent. I have only one compaint. The cd carousel...
Not that I am some kind of audio pirate, but this high end machine doesn't play some of my low down copies and MP3's. The copies by the way are from friends and licensed manufactered ArkivCDs (for...
I have owned two of these units. Both failed the same way. It is a wonderful machine when it works well, but it doesn't for long. For no reason The machine will produce two elongated, very grainy,...
Most of my equipment thus far has been Denon. I recently purchased the DCM 380 which had fantastic sound reproduction, but the changer mechanism was awful and needed repairing. After 6 weeks of...
I had a Kenwood 5 cd player for 10 years that finally died. I ordered the TEAC as it is one of the few that still had a 5 cd carousel format and was a reasonable price. This unit didn't work well...
Our old Teac 5 Disc CD player stopped working, so I tried using a single disc DVD/CD player. It was such a hassle always having to change the disc when one ended.
For the most part this CD player is a good value for it's price. Functions correctly & has good musical quality. The draw back is that the unit produces a very audible humm when turned on....
I purchased this as a gift for my parents who's kitchen is spacially challenged. They live in an area that doesn't receive that great of radio reception to begin with so I did have some doubts...
At such a high price, it's hard to say a clock radio is worth the money but if you looking for compact design with outstanding sound quality this is the only way to go. ...
The sound is lacking a crisp bass response. At high volumes, it goes flat. I have an Onkyo that cost $200.00 and it sounds better. Except it has detachable speakers, so it stays home. I would...
"there is a reason they tell you to keep the volume up for optimal sound"
As soon as you open the box and glance at the directions you realize that something is amiss. Bose gives you a CD full of specific sounds that would sound the same (great) on any average system...
Bose Wave Music System Ultra compact one-box wonder. Bose is one of those brands that polarises opinions. Yes, the products undoubtedly cost rather more than they should, but who else makes...
I'm really surprised that SACD hasn't done better when I listen to these discs on an inexpensive albeit great bargain changer. I'm not one for extra unecessary work so I love having the five disc...
I have had this player for almost 2 years now, and it just started acting-up with the same problems as the other reviews. It first started skipping on the first tracks, and then would just stop...
While most current SACD players also have DVD capabilities, the Sony SCD-CE595 is a high-resolution audio player dedicated to the SACD format. Actually, this is a five-disc changer, and that only...
