Do I have to have a receiver with this 5 disc cd player? I bought this cd player and the speakers, but do I also have to have a receiver to play the cds?

Yes, this CD player requires a receiver or integrated amp to amplify the signal. You need a stereo amp/receiver.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI.Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar.Hope this helps

There is no CD player with this model. The tray for your phone, iPod, mp3 player with USB attachment is behind the faceplate. This is setup for digital, satellite and FM radio. If you need a CD player, you will need to find another model. We don't use CDs anymore so this model was perfect for us. Love it. Music sounds AWESOME and pushes sounds to our Polk audio speakers fantastically.

This particular CD player does require you to have an amplifier to connect to. The amplifier will control the volume and your speakers are also connected to the amp. If you procure an amp, you can also connect other devices such as DVD player, etc. and play them through your amp. Hope this helps.

With your CD player, yes. With your receiver, no. It is an active sound bar designed to connect directly to your TV ( it does not require or work with a receiver). You can plug it into your TV and still plug your CD player into it as well. If you're looking for a solution that will work with your receiver the Atlantic Technology FS 7.1 is your best bet.

On the back of the receiver there is only two audio inputs, four speaker outputs and antenna input. If you run your cd player to your eq then connect the eq to audio input it should be fine.

I do not see anything like this in my CD/Onkyo unit Information. Question: Can you connect WHAT to your Bose? Are you asking if you can connect the ONKYO disc player to your BOSE RADIO and thereby use the BOSE Speaker System (in the radio) AS your SPEAKER SYSTEM for the CD's you inject,... I have no answer for that....IF THAT IS YOUR QUESTION you will have to confer with the Bose Company itself.

I had the same thing happen to my unit just over a year after purchase. It won't recognize any discs. I highly recommend buying the sound system separate instead of a combo unit. If you want to find just the receiver, I'd try eBay. I have seen the entire unit go for $125.

Hi, I bought this system and really love it - but I also didn't realize at first that I would need to buy a receiver to connect all of the speakers to. Once you have a receiver then you can connect a DVD player, TV, and other electronic items to it as well. The sound is really nice.

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.

1 CD each player. Also have two separate audio outputs. You need to mix the outputs.

Thanks so much. I have one more follow-up question, if you don't mind answering. Can the receiver and CD player be placed on end, rather than sitting flat? In other words, I'd like to put them into a console that has a hinged lid that opens from the top. I'd then open the lid and look down on the control panels. I can't see anything in the instructions for either the receiver or CD player that says they have to be placed horizontally on a surface, only that they need to have adequate clearance for air flow.Thanks again.

Yes you can . For the best audio if your cd player has optical output use that. ( cable included ). If not use the rca cables also included.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

The receiver doesn't have to be a Pioneer model, does it? Amazon says that a Sony receiver (Sony STR-DH100 2-Channel Audio Receiver) is frequently purchased with this CD player. Will those two connect to one another without any trouble? Thanks for your help. I'm completely ignorant on these things.

Did you have the same CD player with your old reciever? My guess would be that if anything is going wrong as far as reading a data disk as music, it would have to do with what you were using to read it, not the reciever. I'm actually surprised that you had a system that could use a data disk in such a way, because I've never seen one work like that.
