Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The biggest challenge for compact audio systems is to take any music genre and reproduce a detailed, balanced audio output. If we judge the CS-315 CD receiver system on that basis alone, we have a winner. Anchored around Onkyo’s Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), the CS-315 excels in revealing the nuance of CDs or MP3 tracks recorded to disc. Another outstanding option is to team it up with Onkyo’s RI Dock for the iPod® to bring audio fidelity to all digital music files stored on your PC. Looking as good as it sounds, the CS-315 is enhanced by its striking front aluminum panel and vibration-reducing build. Don’t forget its versatile mobility—this system will easily slot into most spaces that you choose. Forming a competent audio chain with the distinctive D-N7BX 2-way, bass reflex speakers, you can expect the CS-315 to create all the right impressions wherever you place it.
Key technology Features:
WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. That's the benefit of Wide Range Amplifier Technology. Originally developed for our most expensive high-end amplifiers to handle the sonic demands of today's digital age, you'll now find WRAT even in our lowest-priced A/V receivers. The WRAT family of technologies includes a broader frequency range with lower noise entering the signal path – perfectly suited for new high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats.
MP3 Playback:
This audio format achieves about a 10:1 compression over conventional CD audio. What does this mean? You can store many more songs using the same amount of space. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in MP3 format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Compact and versatile : a great micro system.,
By
This review is from: Onkyo CS315S Executive Shelf System with Single Disc CD player (Electronics)
Kudos to Onkyo for making a micro system that actually has multiple input and outputs! (These days, just about every mini/micro system out there only has a mini-jack input and output on the front of them... which is just stupid.) I currently have it connected to a TV and a small subwoofer - basically, I'm using it as a mini-receiver. It makes TV and DVD viewing so much more enjoyable and it doesn't take up very much space.
The speakers that come with this system are only of slightly above average quality. That's not a big problem, because one can always hook up a higher quality set of speakers to it. I've tried a set of Athena bookshelf speakers and now a set Cambridge Soundworks satellite speakers. The sound quality with these speakers is just amazing! Also, don't let the 20 watt rating of its amp discourage you. Its has the power to go more than loud enough. Minor gripe : Onkyo also has the CS-515 which adds an additional set of RCA inputs & outputs, a higher quality DAC, an RDS radio, and various other improvements. Problem is that they sell it in Europe and Asia but not in North America. So in a way, I feel a little cheated knowing there's better model out there, yet I can't buy it. :\

Quality, Value & Awesome Sound,
By
This review is from: Onkyo CS315S Executive Shelf System with Single Disc CD player (Electronics)
I have owned Onkyo products since the early 80s and was always satisfied with the quality. My older Onkyo components are pretty large compared to the more compact versions of today and I wanted something that I knew was tried and trusted but didn't take up so much room. This receiver and CD player are the perfect size and the sound quality is just as good as my neighbor's Bose. My new Onkyo is heavy and well-constructed. Being electronically challenged for many years, I was very pleased to find that it was so simple to connect the receiver to the speakers and also connect the FM and AM antennae. It comes with a remote control and I found it easy to program and preset all the radio stations. Everything is user friendly. I loved the fact that is has a sleep timer and a bass boost on it as well. The CD sound is crisp and clear. This system is worth every penny.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as I hoped,
By Paul from Washington (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Onkyo CS315S Executive Shelf System with Single Disc CD player (Electronics)
This unit does not have the clean and clear sound that I hoped. The adjustment of bass and treble could not achieve a good EQ overall. The volume limit is also relatively low. I have owned the Yamaha MCR series and this does not compare to those systems in terms of sound quality, rounded sound, volume or ability to drive nice headphones. After six months I decided to buy another Yamaha.
