I have an older Sony Component System that we bought about 1990. The five disk player, a CDP-C201 has failed. Is this player a suitable replacement?

I also have an older Sony 6 disc player.(a little newer than yours) Mine also failed and the speakers crapped out. This new player is, in my opinion, much better and a great replacement

Very much so! This one will read MP3 disks as well as USB sticks on top of regular CDs.

This player has worked well for me. Since I was replacing an older unit which failed. You may find there are very few choices since current technology has advanced to other ways to listen to music

I would think so. It is a bare bones player (no bells and whistles). Your old player probably has more ways to control the sound ( concert hall, jazz club, etc.) It has a remote, but no volume on the remote. I have had excellent results, trouble free. I've had it for a couple of years.

We have a Denon Component system from the 90's that works perfectly with this CD player; so, yes, it should work well for you.

no wrong thing for us; its just an cartridge insert replacement. we wanted a 5 cd player

If its like mine, it won't play because the Philips BDP5012 is a piece of junk. I'm tossing mine in the trash and getting a Sony, maybe a PS3. Good luck

Did they just forget these features when they made Blue ray players? I doubt it, they just left room for improvement so we would have a reason to buy newer models. The proof in this is to ask yourself how many DVD players you have boughtt over the years, and how many of them were bought because the old one stopped working, versus you just wanted some of the cool upgraded features they offered?

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 have not used mine for a while and it is not a 5 disc carousel. Plays single laserdisc or CDs.

Yes. I believe all Blu-ray and DVD players or burners are backward compatible to CD. And the burners will even burn CD's

Hello, Yes, it should. I have not used mine yet, (back-up to an older Sony) but CD to CD is the reason I bought it. It has RCA inputs.

Plays CD, CDR and at least Sony brand CDRW without problems. You do need a TV connected to change the output level of the player, but the TV connection is not needed after this.

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.

It depends what you are looking for. I needed an all regions player and it seemed to provide that, but it did not last long and I replaced it with Sony which seems more solid.

Yes, correct. Man, the price has dropped significantly since I bought it.If you're looking for more inputs, you might want to try the other ones. I've been looking to upgrade since there's only two inputs, but then again I really don't need any more. I have a Blueray player and my PS3, but that's pretty much it.

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

Oddly, we have the same problem. We have had our Sony for several years, granted, but it has stopped transitioning to the next CD too. I have no answers for you. If it is still under warranty apply to Sony for your answer. Good Luck!

Yes, there is. It can only load one cd at a time (the last, quite dated Sony stereo system we had a 3 disc cd changer. But the cd seems to be dying a slow, gradual death at the hands of the USB port). Other than that, it's a pretty good, clear sounding stereo. Hook up a few more speakers to it if you can and I imagine it being stellar on some high quality speakers.

I went with the Sharp BD player, and it's working fine now. I already have a PS3, but I wanted a second player for a smaller tv I have in my household (which is a Sharp Aquous too).
