Onkyo Blue-Ray
Picture and sound is excellent. It has a 2 year parts and labor warranty. This replaced a samsung 1500 it died after 13 months (one year warranty on parts 90 a labor)

Very good blu-ray
I purchased this to lessen the load on our PS3, and I must say that I am impressed. We have this mated to an Onkyo TX-SR607 receiver. I really don't know if it was limitations of our PS3, but it took our blu-rays to a new level as far as surround sound goes. The picture is excellent as well. Hook up, & set up was very easy. The remote is ok, but we control it from the receiver's remote, so not a big deal. I haven't tried every blu-ray player, but this one is probably on the slow side as far as load up times, however this does not bother me as I have yet to run across a movie that I need to start in 5 seconds. This player is probably not worth the regular price, but for what I found it for on Amazon during a sale(approx 0), I would consider it a steal.

EXCELLENT !!
I hooked this up to my Onkyo TX-NR906 Receiver and Sharp LC-46D-64U it was a seamless connection except for a few setting changes.. This Onkyo DV-BD507 is so simple to set up.. I'm not a tech freak but I do have two older Blu-Ray players Sony BDP-S1 & Sharp HP20U They both have great Blu-Ray pictures and excellent up scaling to 1080P.. But this new Onkyo BD507 to me is above excellent on the Blu-Ray movies and the up scaling to 1080P on regular DVD's..

Thanks again Amazon !!

Yet Another Disappointing Funai Clone from Onkyo
SUMMARY: The Onkyo DV BD507 shares a similarly uncomfortable position with the Harman Kardon BDP-1: The MSRP of 9 or 9 for this player is comical in this marketplace. This player makes sense around 0 and struggles to make a value propositon for much more than that. At current street prices of 9 (8/20), I would encourage you to pass.

I have been running this player through a wide array of BD and SD DVD material. BD performance is excellent and identical to most other players for 1080p 24fps.

DVD performance is compotent, but not exceptional. I will say that it is improved in some regard to the 606 that there is not a reddish push causing faces to look either flush or tanned depending on lighting. Colors in general are accurate and I do think in real world content it keeps shadow detail and avoids crushing black.

In respects of moire and jaggies, the performance is good. I watched Rome Season 2 with a number of panning shots that offer ample material for moire.

My biggest criticism is the lack of detail reproduction. There is still noise that dulls images. Text shows aliasing and lacks crispness; most images are soft at the end of the day. I played with the three NR settings and could notquite find a happy balance. With the highest NR setting (3), speckling did appear on solid light colors like actors' foreheads. I did some A/Bing with the Oppo, Denon 2010, Pioneer 320, and Onkyo 507. The ABT chips in the Denon and Oppo cleaned up the image well to provide more detail, which provided greater distinction between images and background, providing more depth to the image. The onkyo suffered in this regard. The Pioneer arrived between the two.

This player probably uses the same panasonic chip as the Denons and has the same menus and guis. Unfortunately, it does not have quite the same build quality and finish. The attached power cord, remote, and analogue section are not as impressive as the denon. The player only offers coaxial digital output and two channel analogues. Audio quality from the two channel analogue outputs is good, but does not seem to offer the range of the burr browns. This is most apparent in listening to music.

Remote is cheap and light - it is absolutely identical to the 606's and those in the 0 Magnavox players you see at wal-mart. It is neither backlit nor glows. It lacks a zoom function. GUI/Menus are nearly identical to the Onkyo 606: blue background with quick setup menu and customize option containing more detailed adjustments. The basic tree/branch setup is identical to the current denons as well. There is an option to update the firmware via disc or the internet. The current firmware version shows up as 1.0 and no newer versions are available over the internet.

Operation is very similar to the 606 in respects of speed. Powered off eject times come in right at 13 seconds. Toggling through menus is quick and responsive.

Load times have incrementally improved from the 606, but are still disappointing relative to some of the quicker players on the market:

It is not a pioneer 320: it lacks the audio quality and capability (7.1 outputs), the Pioneer 320 is a more capable upscaler, and the pioneer has a slicker interface and more detailed setup options. With the Pioneer hovering around 0 street prices, the Onkyo without analogues or a strong upscaling chip/capability will suffer to offer value except for those adamant on matching their bd player with their onkyo receiver. For those that hell bent on setup symmetry, I would steer you towards the heavily discounted 606, which can be had for roughly 0. For the rest of us, the JVC XV-BP1 offers better performance, faster operation, and is significantly cheaper. It may lack the tweaking menus of the Onkyo, but I found them ineffective in finding a significantly improved image from the default.
