Will27 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've got an Onkyo amp which I run a CD player from. It's probably about 5 years old now and has no port (only a dock) for a USB stick. Looking at options, it seems a new DVD/CD player like this one, just to play music from my USB stick. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/panasonic-dvdvcdmp3-dvd-s500gj-k-i124698011-s130649735.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.5.53156e117af5A2&search=1 Seems to be a decent and cheap way to go, or is there another option I should be looking at? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not a bad price for a name-brand device but there's probably cheaper, easier, passive, hardware-only options. What sort of input sockets or jacks does your Onkyo amp have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks for that. The amps has inputs for phono, CD, tuner, Dock, Tape and line/md. The only jack is for headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of input sockets or jacks does your Onkyo amp have? That device is interesting but how do you select which track you want to hear? Presumably it will only start with the first and play them all in sequence, and wont let you skip forward or backward. And if you turn it off and on again I suppose that it wont remember where you got to before and will just start again at the beginning. That may be suitable for some basic users but probably not for all. And I cant see how the USB stick would be powered by this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPGumbypgh Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Most TV's can play music files on a USB stick. Connect the tv to the CD/Tuner/Tape inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. Don't really want to go that way about it though, it's a bit too messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
