Abstract: Reviews at AV MAX are incomplete without an Onkyo addition. They've been sending us their receivers and speakers for as long as we can remember, all the while designing budget-friendly Blu-ray players. Since we are in the times of 3D-everything, they have...
Onkyo's BD-SP809 is a very basic player. It does just the bare essentials and it does them well. There are some major and minor faults like Blu-ray load-time and not being able to support many video/audio formats that most of its competitors support with ...

Low noise, High quality HD, Commendable DVD upscaling, 3D, ready
Poor streaming options, Ugly user interface, No IPTV portal, No Super Audio CD/ DVD, Audio compatibility
