Do I need a CD player to use this product? As I recall, when I used them in the 80's, I ended up in a tangled mess...

you can use a cd player, i use my Ipod if i want music. but you do not need one to make it work. There is two wires that come out and then three if you use a device for music. At first i got tangled a little.I am used to the wires now. In the instructions they say you can program different exp. Have not tired that yet but I am going too. Hope this helps you.

We bought two of these and could not get the CD player to work on either one of them. They made a really loud grinding noise or would just plain skip or not play the CD's. If we put the CD's in another player they would work fine. I recommend another player. Go to Walmart - they have them in their audio section usually cheaper to.

I believe it to be a defective unit. I bought 3 different units, since Christmas, not all were Onkyo, and all 3 skipped repeatedly thru each song. I bought brand new CD's, and all 3 units same results. I gave up on looking for a CD player, bought myself a USB flash drive, downloaded my music to it, stuck it into my Blu-ray player and now listen to my music thru my Blu-ray player. Also, any unit that plays a dvd, will also play a cd. But cd's are on their way out thanks to modern technology.

I agree with the statement that MP3's are horrible. I've tried to convert. Just doesn't happen. What I have found is that music meant for CD, sounds better to me on CD. Music initially recorded on vinyl sounds better to me on vinyl. I kept my records. But I do have an extensive CD collection. I find Vinyl at charity shops and second hand shops for as little as $.25. When buying old records, remember to look for warping, scratches, dirty patches--which may cover hidden damage--, crayon drawings (who hasn't seen this?). In other words look them over carefully.

I'm not sure because I have never tried since I have a regular CD player which is what I use.

not there i know so far, now cd's are with all due respect,history, unless the performer is a mid/low one class type, all is now about mp3 or usb memories, ipods, and that why i guess deWalt or other reputable cordless power tools manufacturers are not giving the cd playing choice on the job site radios they offer, sorry but that is the way progress runs this days...

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

As a matter of fact I did plug it into headphone jack speakers to see if it will improve the sound, but it was not as loud as I would have wanted it to be. Besides, a personal CD player should be used by itself without additional help.

PS. To connect them to a cd player you need to be able to adjust the volume in the player. The speakers don't have volume control. I use either a sound card (echo audio fire 4) or a headphones amp. Or u can rip your music and play as flac from your pc.

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

Yep, if your CD player offers 1/8" or 1/4" output. You can plug these into any normal headphone jack (1/8") or a music cable (1/4", like guitar cable) with the included adapter.

on this one you all ways have to wear those headphones on the time. on all portable cd players like you have now with difftrent brand names will always req. a headphone jack all the time. there are small speakers you can buy to hook up your headphone jack outlet. if you have a radio shack near by ask for one. or they can order you one. -- mark

Absolutely you can, but they will not play in a regular CD player, only a machine that plays DVDs.

I agree with the rest. You will need some type of amplifier or receiver, (amplifier with AM/FM radio capabilities). Your disc player is equivalent to a turntable for an old fashioned component stereo system, (if you are old enough to remember). The disc player is an input device, but the amplifier is what makes it all happen.

Hello. I am having no luck with the CD-R's I have bought. Is there and brand that actually works in this machine? Thanks for your time, troy.

No, you cannot play CD's while this is installed. It's easy enough to pull it out when you want to play a CD though.

Yes you can - but don't waste your money. My situation was my 2006 Toyota Matrix CD player was no longer playing CD's without skipping. Professional CD's and burned CD's both skipped. I tried the cleaner, over and over and over but it didn't solve the problem. All CD's still skipped.
