Previously purchased the Yamaha CDC- 697BL. Worked for 5 days before freezing while playing CDs. Returned for a replacment. The replacement froze when playiong the first set of 5 CDs. I returned that unit for a refund and tried the ONKYO DX-C397. Have been using this player for several weeks, have played more than 125 discs, random selections, repeating selections, pausing play etc. absolutely no problems.

I bought this recently as a replacement for a Denon DCM370 that I had for ten years. The Denon quit recognizing discs on a reliable basis. The Onkyo sounds every bit as good and has two distinct advantages. First, you can turn the power on and off with the remote control. Second, this player has a carousel that holds six discs instead of five. Hopefully, it will work as long as the Denon. It is a large component, so make sure you have the space for it. The combination of features, sound quality, ease of use, and price make this an excellent buy, provided it remains durable.

The Onkyo DX-C390 sounds great! The quality of the music is beyond my expectations.I replaced my JVC XL-M401 BK Disc changer with the Onkyo DX-C390 only to realize what Ive been missing as far as music clarity, sound & quality.was concern. Anyone who has a taste for music will enjoy this product. The Onkyo DX-C390 Looks great!, and, the ability to change CDs without interruption of the CD already playing is ideal, With the remote control Im able to change from one track to another without leaving my seat I can also program my cds.. Since I already own an Onkyo receiver it made my choice to purchase this CD Changer easy but, the price was just right, also, the fact that it plays CD, CD-Rs, CD-RW and MP3 disc and, it is a carousel changer. I made the right choice, No regrets.

This is my second Onkyo CD changer. The first was their DX-C201 which has a lot of neat programming features that receives little use from me anyway. Keep it simple KIS is a good philosophy. I have the basic features on the DX-C390 which is all most listeners will get the most use from. The changer isnt enclosed so I do notice a little noise during disc changes but its quite tolerable. The optical hook-up is simple and provides seamless communication with my receiver. You cant beat the price for the value youll receive from this make of changer. I recommend this unit highly.

I have been very pleased with this purchase. It sounds as good as the old TEAC that I was using.
It is easy to use and load and I especially like all the programming you can do to select exactly what you would like to listen to.
The controls and screens are easy to read and you know exactly what is happening.
I would highly recommend anyone to buy this product as it performs at a very high level of sound clarity at a very reasonable price.

First, this is my 3rd purchase from Vanns and still astounded by their service, knowledge and quality of AV equipment offered.
My new, 4 day old, Onkyo DX-C390 performs as described. Sound quality top notch for price and equivalent to higher priced Marantz and Yamaha CD players Ive owned in past. I did find that the overall crispness was improved dramatically by running output through through digital output cable as compared to standard RCA analog jacks. There seems to be no digital clipping throughout the audible spectrum - very equivalent to true analog systems without the inherent noise of same.
Highly recommend this unit to all but the most fanatical audiophiles.

I got my onkyo cd player at a great price after about a month of research. It was a snap to set up and it sounds great. I dont under stand all the reviews that said this was clunky and slow! Its great. I got it to replace a very old sony cd player.. I just wish the sony would have quit sooner so I could have been enjoying this great sound sooner. the only problem is.. its about 1000 better than the speakers Im using so now they need up-grading. If you are consindering a cd player at all this is a great sound at a better than great price.

Bought as a replacement for an aging Yamaha high end CD changer that suddenly malfunctioned. After considering several brands and models, decided I didnt want to spend a lot, but did not want to go for the cheapest thing either. For the price this seemed pretty good. Received it yesterday and hooked it up, and I am very satisfied. Mechanically its much quieter than the Yamaha was, the design and features are good. I especially like the tray light. The only thing missing is a headphone jack. The sound is outstanding. I am positive I can hear little nuances and details I did not hear with the Yamaha, or Technics or Sony or other Cd players I have had experience with. Most impressive and important for me is that it doesnt have that digital coldness and harshness. Overall, IMHO this compares favorably to most audiophile gradehigh end CD players Ive heard, and for the price its unbeatable. And Vanns was very good too! Competitive price, order promptly processed and very well packaged.

WOW! A real 'low carb' way to satisfy your audio palate! The smooth-almost analog-sound from this changer is nothing short of amazing-very warm and clear with no hint of 'brassiness.' If you relish great sounding music of any genre you owe yourself a listen. Your ears, and those of your guests, will savor the delicious sounds. I hear sublteties in my favorite discs I never heard before. Don't let the rather deep ~17' enclosure make you think twice-cut a hole in the back of your entertainment center and do your CD collection some justice! This quality 6 disc changer will serve up the finest audio cuisine with abundance and convenience. Bon Appetite!
We love it!

Very high quality unit. Clean sound and the changer mechanism is virtually silent. Controls are easy to use. Best of all this unit can play MP3 CD's. Displays the MP3 name. Unit has analog, optical and coaxial outputs. My only complaint is the changer could be a bit quicker. Still this unit is highly recommended. Sounds are good as the $800 unit I check out. I paid $189.99 at Circuit City.

This player was a snap to install and begin using. The ease of the setup and time it took to figure out the functions and features was a refreshing change from other electronic equipment I have used in the past. My only complaint regarding performance of the player is that it occasionally takes longer than expected to change the CD and begin playing a new one. Loading time needs to be shortened to truly make it superior to other players. A feature that would make it stand out, one I feel is lacking compared to top of the line players, is a display that shows CD and song title. Other than these areas, this is a very functional CD player one that I would recommend to anyone on the market for one.

Sleek item. I rarely listen to CDs anymore but wanted a player that matched with my existing Onkyo receiver and hopefully will one of the last players I ever need to buy.This fits the bill. I read some of the less-than-favorable reviews on Amazon about the item no longer recognizing CDs. So far that hasnt been the case for me.
Wouldve liked a headphone jack directly in the CD player, and it also would be nice if the CDs changed more rapidly. But neither is a big deal nor a deal-breaker. Shipping was quick, item as described.

For its low price this is a nice piece of equipment. It does, however, have its limitations.
Specifically, the dynamic range is compressed and will not reveal deep bass or highest highs. Good
recordings sound -- good -- but not great. This can partially be attributed to the signal to noise ratio. Mechanically, the unit is well engineered and works flawlessly. Its made very well. Nevertheless, good interconnect analog cables are essential to elicit the best possible sound. Accoustic jazz sounds good. More complex
musical passages such as, Big Band, lack clearly defined resolution. The sound is muddy and congested. Overall its a decent piece of equipment at a reasonable price. Dont expect way too much and you wont be disappointed.
Bottom line -- you usually get what you pay for!

This cd changer did not play correctly from the moment it was turned on. I called Vanns and they were unwilling to help out because I opened it and then threw the box away. Without the box there will be no exchange I was told. If I wanted to buy a new one and when it arrived use that box in which to send the unused broken one ..with me paying for all shipping and no guarantee of a refund they would consider an exchage.
I figured I would rather cut my losses and toss it, even thoughtit was only two weeks old. I bought another cd changer, a Sherwood, from another company and it works wonderfully.
I cant recommend Vanns or Onkyo.
