I've just bought this CD-player (5 days ago), and it already broke down!

Pros Beautiful sound, great styling!
Cons Mechanical problems after only 5 days of extremely light use! Made in China...of course!
Recommended it? No

I've just bought this CD-player, along with a brand new Harman Kardon receiver (HK-3480) and a couple of great Polk speakers and, believe it or not, the CD-player already broke down!
I was convinced by the salesman to buy this player based on Harman Kardon's great reputation and beautiful... Read full review »

Cons First one died
Recommended it? Yes

Earlier this year when I decided to upgrade my component system to H-K (All I wanted for my birthday was a 120W Harman... http://www.epinions.com/content_232581992068), not only did I get the fabulous Harmon Kardon Digital Path Receiver (DPR 2005), but also the matching H-K FL8385 CD changer. I did... Read full review »

Pros Dewar Audio in Ottawa stood by us
Cons Poor build quality, exceptionally unreliable
Recommended it? No

We purchased this player because we have been exceptionally happy with the Harman/Kardon receiver that we own. When we were shopping around, I was surprised that it was very difficult to find a true CD changer anymore, most places were trying to sell you a DVD player that was capable of playing...

IT'S A CD CHANGER. A NICE ONE.

byladman Nov 15, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks good. Great sound. Fast tray service.
Cons No SACD support. Pricey.
Recommended it? Yes

Simple enough. This is a CD changer. I purchased this unit as I did not want to have to continuously change speaker settings because I wanted to hear a audio CD on the HK DV player.

SETUP:
This is where it gets good for me. If I have to look at the instructions, I probably do not... Read full review »

SATISFIES A DEMANDING CLASSICAL MUSICIAN'S NEEDS

Pros Clear, clean, warm sound. Properly balanced mid and low bass.
Cons Previous versions apparently had problems with some mechanics. (I assume that's...
Recommended it? Yes

It is not easy to compare audio cd players since dvd has taken over so much of the buying market. I needed to replace an over ten year old Pioneer Elite cd player.

Went to a very large electronics house, took along my Sennheiser 580 headphones and some "tough" cd's hoping to get enough... Read full review »

Pros I really can't think of any other than it matches my HK receiver nicely!!
Cons terrible sound, poor reliability, more aggravation than it is worth!
Recommended it? No

I bought this cd player to match my new HK3480, I had trouble with it in 2 days after getting it home, it kept scanning in random mode and wouldn't open, I was informed to unplug the unit and plug it back in, no such luck, I sent it back and got another one, this one I had for 3 days the sound was...

Pros -Looks great -Works with remote for HK AVR 430
Cons - Slow to change disks - broke after 3 months
Recommended it? No

Bought this product to upgrade from my 8 year old RCA 5 disc changer. I already had the HK AVR 430, so I decided to buy the changer so I could use the same remote. Their are several disadvantages over the RCA. Yes, it has HDCD capability, but I could only find one CD that I wanted that was in that... Read full review »

Buyer Beware!

Pros Sounds great if and when it plays a disk
Cons Not reliable.
Recommended it? No

I bought an FL-8385 in 2/2004. First one worked for about three months, then started doing weird things like taking disks in but not playing them. Then it would play and then stop in the middle of a song, start, then stop, then start...argh!! Sent it to H-K who promptly replaced it with another... Read full review »

I am rather disappointed.

Pros cool looking
Cons does not do the job
Recommended it? No

I had the same experience as the reviewers before me. The unit has hard time to play original cds not to mention CD-Rs. It skips a lot. I have got a HK receiver (no problem with that one) and wanted to have a matching cd player. I just have ordered the Onkyo DX-C390 to replace this player. Read full review »

A Big Disappointment !!

Pros Looks great matched with other HK equipment
Cons Everything Else
Recommended it? No

I have just returned my 3rd unit for warranty replacement. This is simply a very poor unit and not worth the bother. Should the next unit not work, I too will trash it and buy a different brand.

I was to notice the; Made In China label ! Read full review »
