I am looking for a CD player for my basement stereo. How do you think this unit will sound/work?

I used this DVD player to hook to a projector for a large room, and I had a large powered speaker. It worked good enough to show to over 150 people. This is a basic model, but it does the job for the price.

Depending on the type of hook up you are going to use, I think you would be ok with this unit. I bought mine as a gift for someone else so I don't really remember if it uses the component/composite system or the HDMI setup I would double check that before you buy.

I found it to be fine. I use it in living room, no problems and the price was right.

As for the DVD player it works very well, as does the CD player. If you are working with more speakers it should sound great.

It was a gift, so I don't know. Honestly, I do not think that any cd players do what you are interested.

Absolutely! The instruction booklet that comes with the receiver takes you thru all your options and it's pretty easy to follow. I don't have a CD player hooked up to mine, but I don't need it. I do have a complete home theater set up, a Wii system, and a Blu-Ray player hooked up to it. The sound is great! I'm running about 750 watts worth of speakers off it and it still has enough OOMPH. Hope this helps.

Answer here...I would be more than happy to answer any questions, about this little machinse, but none came through. If you are planning on buying one of these CD players, don't hesitate. I bought one towards the end of last summer and have done nothing but enjoyed it. Its been a good little investment, if this is your question I hope I answered it....enjoy it

The manual is available for download from the Onkyo site. DL that and it will detail what the numerous inputs (and outputs) will do. An older model (by about two years) I have will accept turntable, for which it needs preamplifier, depending on cartridge. But it may not take both turntable and CD player. But the latter isn't a problem if you use a DVD player to play CDs. And, as it is a "receiver," it has an AM-Fm radio tuner integrated.

Yes, that would work just fine as long as you have a digital out on your player. You'll get remarkably improved definition if your CD player has a typical built in DAC.

Yes it will. You have to have a cd playing in it when you use it and it works and sounds great!

If you want speakers, you can (prolly) just hook this to your television, but the sound quality wouldn't be as good. If you want this CD player to sound like it oughtta, you need a receiver. You also might need speaker wire and something to plug the speaker wire into the receiver with. Unless the receiver and/or speakers already have those things...

thinking bout buying one to put music on instead of cd's.. is this a good product to have for this ? and is it hard to operate ( not a geek..lol )

Yes, but keep in mind it's not really a stereo in the classic sense. CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them. DVD's on the hand sound pretty amazing considering the fact that it's priced as a budget system. Hope this helped.

Yes. It puts out a pretty descent sound. I don't use the radio because the reception is not good. I play my cds and it works well. I am pleased with it. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy.

Yes it will play CD-RW's and yes you will need a receiver this is not a stand alone unit it is meant to be part of a complete audio system.

No to both questions. A warning if you have'nt purchased this player. The cd player is crap--it stops playing intermittently with evey cd I try to play. A lesson to be learned here is that with cheap prices come cheap electronics.I would not recommend this product. Even the connections for the speaker wires when inserted into the radio/cd unit don't fit tight and have to be played with to get a solid connection. The am band in my area --Long Island N.Y. is bad and you can't turn the unit around in the hopes of getting a stronger signal because of the wires for the speakers and the placement of the unit if you do get a good signal---the tuning buttons and tuner knob may not be facing you it may be facing away from you. This is my experience with this purchase. Spend more money to hopefully to get a better product.

Hello Oscar,You are completely right.You can surely conect any externa source of sound , you just need RCA outputs at your source device or any kind of output with the adapter cable.I have my audio player connected with the "mini jack" to RCA cable and it works great, so your CD player will work as well.Hopefully you will have as much fun with this "baby", as I have. GREAT sound .Regards.Marek

Unfortunately, I'm not a good contact for this player as mine only worked for about 1/2 of a CD. Hope you have better luck should you decide to buy!

It depends on what one is looking for. I wanted a radio that played MP3 formatted CD's. And that's exactly what I got & I am very pleased. It's not high end, but I listen to old radio shows so their quality is less than perfect. For the price, it's a lovely radio, plays MP3 formatted CD's, as well as regular ones. Perfect for the kitchen.

Yes, If the CD player has the standard headphone jack 3.5 mm (approx. 1⁄8 inch) it should work fine and support stereo sound.
