"I ordered this player and a Yamaha CD-S300 at the same time. I expected to use the Yamaha as my primary deck, and either send..."

"Well, not really. I couldn't afford to buy Onkyo but I did end up buying TWO C-7030's. And that's after buying a couple of Onkyo's..." "Well, not really. I couldn't afford to buy Onkyo but I did end up buying TWO C-7030's. And that's after buying a couple of Onkyo's S5VL SACD players. Now, SSD's insanely clever review made me take notice of the C-7030- again, this is after I had already fallen in love with the S5VL Player. I really thought that one would have been my last player-but I have to admit that SSD hit a lot of pertinent technical issues that swayed me into buying this unit, and then buying a back-up. The main issue, of course was sound. Although I did not have the 7030 and the S5VL set up side by side, some of the Classic Rock and Jazz I listen too, I know backwards and forwards, and I've got particular cd editions 'sound' burned into my brain. So when I put into the 7030 the Canadian MCA issue of The Who 'Who's Next', the one mastered by Steve Hoffman, and hit the play button, I knew that at the very Least, the 7030 sounded as good and 'Smooth' as the S5VL. What put this unit permanently into my stereo rack instead of the S5VL, is it's human interfaceity......(Yeah, I just made that one up....but it works!) #1-I absolutely LOVE the electronic power button! After powering on ONCE, and setting the 'auto off' feature (in the set up menu) I never have to touch the power button again! It turns itself off after 30 minutes of no activity-brilliant! When i want to play a cd, I just hit the 'eject' button, the unit turns on and I go to town. AND,,,,,,,AND......IT ACT'S LIKE A CD PLAYER! THE #1 thing that bugged me about the SACD player is that ever present hesitation after pushing a button before it does anything. SSD confirmed for me that it is the familiar characteristic of a DVD transport as opposed to a transport designed just for the compact disc. And I'm sorry, after I hit the 'Skip' button on my player I don't want to wait 1/2 second for the unit to respond......it just plain drives me nuts. Now, I am keeping one of the S5VL's for the future, even though I don't have very many SACD's. But what I will do is start replacing the couple of Good SACD's I have with either Hybrid discs of those titles, or just bag it. Heck, to me the SACD of Stevie Ray's 'Texas Flood' sounds EXACTLY the same (excellent fidelity) as the recent two disc Sony 'Legacy' Redbook edition. And I really mean that. And my Rolling Stones Abkco Hybrids Sacd Layer does NOT sound much different/better than the CD layer. If the SACD layer sounded Much better than I wouldn't be typing this right now."

"Love the look, though you cannot read the teeny labels for the buttons without a flashlight. It was simple to use and sounded great for..." "Love the look, though you cannot read the teeny labels for the buttons without a flashlight. It was simple to use and sounded great for 12 months, 17 days. Certainly not worth the money I paid. Even the little portable CD players we used before upgrading lasted 5 years or more. For $30-60 each, an amazing bargain compared to this product. What happened? Played a CD as always. Put a new CD in after the first one finished: "Reading............................." It just reads and whirls. Eventually it might go to Track 99. When you hit forward it goes to Track 1. Then nothing. Checked everything, called Onkyo #. People helpful and polite and one is quite chatty about her personal life. Told me how to reset the unit, and it cleared without a problem But....nothing. Still doesn't work. Tried calling the closest warranty service number they gave me (3 hours away) and got a recording to leave a message. Hm. Is it worth pulling it apart, taking it to a non-warranty local repair place, having it gone for awhile???? No. Don't buy this CD player. Try another brand. (We have an Onkyo Receiver that works well and is still working. Keeping my fingers crossed.) UPDATE: The Onkyo woman had told me to appeal to the service guy, see if he would give me a break because warranty just ended(??) The guy with the service company called me back. Diagnosed laser likely needed to be aligned or replaced (ballpark $60 - $120). He didn't understand why Onkyo support didn't give me an EWAN (Ext. Warranty) told me to ask for one. Called Onkyo back (same woman) who didn't know what an EWAN was. Once I defined it for her she told me I needed to call Onkyo Parts & Service to get one of those. Another phone #. Said they would close in an hour so " you need to get on it!" Called them (4th Onkyo call, 2 calls to service company by now) - woman very direct though helpful. Told me they would extend warranty by 45 days "as a courtesy". Huh? It's a courtesy to stand behind the quality of your product??? Notice not one single Onkyo person expressed any regret, apology, etc. Though the first woman did mention "well, that's not good." Had to email serial # and verif of invoice (btw tag on player says it was manufactured in Feb, 17). Sent the EWAN notification to the service company, said the service guy was expecting my unit. Now I only have to either drive it 4 hours north, or pack it well and ship it off. At least it will be repaired under warranty - as a courtesy. Guess I'm supposed to be grateful. Onkyo service is poor. People are nice, but what the company gives them to work with is poor. Every Onkyo person ends their call with "thank you for being an Onkyo customer." Right. So miss our local Radio Shack."
