The manual is available for download from the Onkyo site. DL that and it will detail what the numerous inputs (and outputs) will do. An older model (by about two years) I have will accept turntable, for which it needs preamplifier, depending on cartridge. But it may not take both turntable and CD player. But the latter isn't a problem if you use a DVD player to play CDs. And, as it is a "receiver," it has an AM-Fm radio tuner integrated.

It plays CDs. It doesn't play very loudly, and the FM tuner is not very sensitive. Distortion on stations.

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?

Because it depends on the music you listen to, how loud you like to listen to your music and the quality of the music. This player is mediocre at most for my liking. You have to be very careful with the CD door or it will break. Not enough volume for my liking.

I got a set of logitech so 20 stereo speakers with a 3.5mm input from Walmart for around twelve bucks. They stand about 6 inches tall and also work with my mp3 player. Hope you find what you are looking for!

You need a stereo receiver. Amazon has a number of them for sale for under $200. I would go with a Yamaha or a Sherwood. If music sound is what you mainly want, I strongly suggest you integrate your receiver and speakers into your tv system - there are any number of ways to do that. That way you can hear your tv AND music through the speakers, by using your dvd/bluray to play your music. Also, if you upload your cd's into ITunes (make sure you edit your "preferences" to MP3), you can then burn mp3 cd's in data format to play in your dvd player. Those cd's will give you a great sound and over 10 hours of continuous music. Then you can ditch the Sony cd player, which will only play one audio cd at a time. You need a stereo receiver.

I think $200 is an excellent value for this unit! It plays CDs, LPs, flash drives, records from all devices, plays your smart phones. It does it all. I love the look, retro mid century! I'm thrilled with it! My brother in law wants to buy one for my sister! Just my humble opinion.

It was a gift, so I don't know. Honestly, I do not think that any cd players do what you are interested.

In short, no, these speakers will not work with a portable CD player. An amplifier can be had cheaply (about $20), though. Leipath 2020a amp may be what you need.

Yes. It is simply a cd player. You will need a power supply (amp/receiver) and speakers.

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.

I don't remember seeing one, and I have given it away after I got through doing a wonderful job transfering my 45's of the 50's to cd's. Can't say I looked for one.After I transfered my old boogie 45's which are rare to cd's and transfered to MP3"s that I can play in my motor home, I am one happy camper.

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.

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.

I don't actually know but I think you need to just buy a turntable and amplifier and hook a CD player to your setup. I'm a granny too, but I think this is more state-of-the-art as it has an Ipod dock. I think you can find a better system for your needs.

Good question. Wish I could answer it. I just play cd's on this system and it is great for that but I am of the older generation and just do not understand all this new stuff. Sorry I could not help you.
