The New Onkyo is Hear.

 

Part of the new direction Onkyo is stepping up to.

Load time variance with dvd discs -

All perfect!

 

All perfect!

Image's mint! Better if you connect it through an Onkyo A/V receiver like HT-S6100 or up. SACD is as good as it gets. If you can spend a bit more than a custom DVD player & HTiB, this is the player to get. I tried Like a rolling stone both in CD & SACD...

Disappointing

 

Disappointing

I had high hopes for this player as I have had multiple components from Onkyo in the past (including DVD players) and they have all been really solid. This unit, however, has been nothing but a dud. For a unit of its price and supposed pedigree, it...

much better than the previous 502 model

 

much better than the previous 502 model

I have no complaints about this mode. It is very important to read the manual several times before making the settings. Some settings that are default prevent other settings from working. For instance, HDMI is the default which sets a limit on the...

Finicky

I ended up replacing the first one I ordered because of several issues. It turns out the player is very finicky about what it can play as the replacement has the same issues. Update: I've now had the player for about 6 months. The player has a knack...

Amazing, simply amazing

 

Amazing, simply amazing

What a DVD player... outstanding. Nice, good performance, simply excellent. You should buy it. The only bad feature of it... it only reads Region 1, so, if you use to travel around the world and buy DVD's everywhere (as myself) this is not the DVD...

Great picture quality!!

 

Great picture quality!!

Definitely a great crisp picture from this DVD player. I'm running this HDMI through a HLS-5687W Samsung DLP and it looks great. Startup is a little slow but everything else I've seen makes this a great upconverting DVD player. Soon to test a Blu-ray...

Onkyo DV-SP504E review

 

Onkyo's hi-fi releases are very like buses: nothing for ages, then several come along at once. After a flurry of digital amps, not much was heard from the firm - and now both the unusual D-TK10 speaker and this universal DVD/SACD player show up

Nicely built and smooth sounding with all formats ; Does a fine job with hi-res audio

Lags behind dedicated CD layers due to a lack of body and recision in the sound

Unless you own lots of hi-res discs, its value in audio will be limited. As a complete source solution, though, it is very tempting, especially if your TV has HDMI input

Onkyo DV-SP504 Universal Disc Player

 

I give Onkyo full credit for turning me into the home theatre enthusiast that I am today. That's because the first great A/V receiver that I ever owned was a mid-range 5.1-channel Onkyo. Naturally then, I got quite excited when I was asked to evaluate...

Product Specifications

Following up on the success of its predecessor, the DV-SP504 universal DVD/CD player stands out as a versatile player that is well positioned for the emergence of high-definition entertainment. It's the inclusion of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) that makes the DV-SP504 a superb choice for delivering high-definition movies in 720p or 1080i formats, high-resolution music, and more recent formats like HD JPEG (megapixel images with enhanced resolution). On the audio front, the inclusion of three Cirrus Logic CS4398 digital-to-analog converters takes audio performance into a totally different league. Onkyo's own technologies come into play with Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) and Direct Digital Path to protect audio signals from the most destructive elements to quality movies and music - pulse noise and noise emanating from a player's internal components.
