Yamaha CD-C603BL Overview

Enjoy hours of continuous music with the CD-C603BL 5-Disc CD Changer from Yamaha. This CD changer features a fully-opening tray for loading up to five discs at a time. You can connect it to an audio receiver or sound system via optical audio or stereo RCA with Pure Direct output.

Play CDs how you like with program, repeat, and random modes available. With Yamaha PlayXChange you can swap four discs while the fifth one is still playing. The CD-C603 also provides high-quality playback of music files (MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC) stored on USB memory devices via a USB port on the front panel. You can control all functions from the front panel buttons or included remote control, and IR in and out are available for custom installations.

Pure Direct
The CD-C603 offers Pure Direct, the same popular feature in Yamaha amplifiers and receivers. By pressing the button on the front panel or on the remote control, it shuts down the digital audio output and turns off the display. This achieves the lowest possible noise interference and, therefore, the highest sound quality of the analog audio output.
PlayXChange
PlayXChange allows you to change four CDs while the fifth CD keeps playing. Enjoy uninterrupted music while also exchanging your favorite discs. In addition, the CD-C603 has a fully opening disc tray for changing all five discs at the same time.
High-Quality Sound
Yamaha knows how music should sound because they have been making musical instruments since 1887. The Yamaha CD-C603 inherits Yamaha's hi-fi technology cultivated over many years. It utilizes short signal paths, sophisticated circuitry, an intelligent digital servo, and a laser pickup floating mechanism for high-quality sound. The CD-C603 plays music with sound full of dynamics and clarity, thanks to upgrades in the sophisticated internal layout, improving sound quality over previous models.

Yamaha CD-C603BL Reviews

A great CD changer

By Douglas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-02

The Yamaha CD-C603 works flawlessly and produces excellent sound. So far, it operates consistenly and silently while outputting music that is detailed, deep, and present. I got this to replace a ~12 year old Yamaha CDC-697 CD Changer that was failing. This one (the Yamaha CD-C603) is so much better in every way. It's a lot more expensive too, but totally worth it. Shipping was perfect and fast. Overall, I'm totally pleased with this.

Best CD changer ever...

Love this 5-Disc CD changer. Replaced my 3 yr old Onkyo changer, that was nasty from the start, with this changer. This Yamaha works beautifully & sounds crisp & sweet. Couldn't be more pleased with a purchase.

Does the tray open far enough to access the two ba

Does the tray open far enough to access the two back spots or do you have to slide the CDs under the edge of the housing?
Asked by: Gary
According to the illustration on page 12 in the manual for the Yamaha CD-C603BL 5-Disc CD Changer with USB Playback, you can access at least 3 of the CD spots, but you would have to turn it a little bit to access the other 2 spots in the back. https://bhpho.to/3OJ3ZDh
