Onkyo DX-C390 six-disc CD changer

Date Published: 2/23/06

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 play. In addition, the DX-C390 can play MP3 files stored on CD-R/RW, along with standard audio CD.

Although a Budget Buy, the DX-C390 has advanced features and circuitry, such as Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry and an AccuPulse Quartz System, which combine to produce superior playback performance. The unit comes with a remote control that provides direct track access or direct access to a specific disc. It is also possible to program a playlist of up to 40 songs, and the DX-C390 has the usual random and repeat playback modes.

The DX-C390 has a cool function that lets you cue up the next song you wish to hear while the current selection continues to play. The DX-C390 six-disc carousel changer is a high-quality and affordable way to listen to a music collection without breaking the bank.
