The solution is to leave the power on forever! But the problem is when you turn off the power when you done listening, the program memory is gone. Second, I can program as much as 40 songs and let it run randomly in that 40 song without repeatting the song it already play. I don't know weather the digital output is worst as analog or the analog as good as digital? Here is what I find out:įirst, the sound from optic digital out is warm and smooth. So I was looking for a CD player that I can play original CD music dis and program all the songs that I like. I don't like to listen to music that recorded with CD rewrite because it have too much error. I bought this unit with a thought that it is designed purely for music and it have 6 dis. I often listen to short music clips to pick up the music to play on guitar and this Onkyo is as tight as any other format. Another feature that I love is the ultra quick and smooth scanning in music. It's a beautiful thing! I have an otherwise great Yamaha mini system that I used to run the Onkyo through so I could get the great sound and the silent play. It is a little loud when switching dics, although I personally expect that from experience. The time, track number, and disc are all easy enough for me to see and I don't pay much attention to the random settings, etc. The display is a little dificult to read at a distance, but I've never found it problematic. Not a bad thing, but I'd prefer something more svelte. The extra disc should make it a little bigger, but it's so tall and very deep. I'd used a Harmon Kardon player previously and it was much smaller overall. It isn't perfect but it is definitely a nice unit. The 50 disc+ players always are slow and end up a mess, so I opted for the unusual 6-disc Onkyo. I got this Onkyo player because I wanted to be able to throw in a wide variety of music and just let it play through. I hope to put many more miles on this Onkyo! My initial impression is Kaching! I did well. That is the great thing about older equipment, it can be repaired and once properly refurbished will deliver quality sound and entertainment for you again.

Too much of it is use it for a few years and toss it out and go buy more. That is something that you can't say for a lot of newer, modern stereo equipment. I like the Klipsch the best.Īt any rate I am pleased with this 11 year-old CD player which seems to have survived the test of time and still plays well. I would say the two the speakers are similar in the basic quality of their reproduction capabilities and clarity, but the Klipsch's presence is far superior overall.

They have a more dramatic and fuller sound than the DCMs (as well as a larger cabinet and a huge horn tweeter and an extra driver over the DCMs). I might try out the Onkyo with the other two receivers, especially the Sansui, which is hooked up to a pair of Klipsch KG4 speakers made in 1984. The SX3700 was playing through a pair of DCM 6 ohm CX-27 speakers, which I bought new in 1993.

The two Pioneers are rated at 90W total while the Sansui is rated at 54W total. That is very clean for a receiver of that time frame and is below what you can hear. Of the three receivers I own, this receiver has the lowest THD distortion rating of. The Onkyo is on the SX3700 right now, which was made 1980-1982. I currently have three vintage receivers that I run: A Sansui G3500 Pure Power, Pioneer SX780 and Pioneer SX3700. It is clean and the dynamics are greater than the old reliable Tech. Sure, I will keep the older players, but I will appreciate this Onkyo for its superior reproduction.

It operates quieter than both of these players.įor $20 plus $14 shipping, I think I made a great eBay score! I have only briefly listened to this CD player at low volume for a few minutes, but I immediately recognized the superior sound quality over my two older CD players that this more modern Onkyo has (which was made in 2001 according to the tag on the back of the unit). I have older Technics and Sony 5 disc CD players, as well as this recently purchased Onkyo. messing around with worn, scratchy LPs, needles and cartridges. I am not into vinyl and prefer the sound quality of CDs vs. During the past year I have started to collect vintage stereo equipment from the late 70s through the 1990s. This is the first piece of Onkyo equipment I have ever owned and my initial reaction is one of pleasure.
