The BD-SP809 is the newest player to come out of Onkyo and its capable of quite a bit. It can play back 3D Blu-rays, DVDs, and files on DVD or CD in DivX, MP3 and WMA encodings. It's also to play both audio and video from a USB storage device. Onkyo's new player has networking elements too. It can play music and video from your home computer as well as online services like Netflix, Blockbuster on Demand, Film Fresh and Vudu.
Video played on the Onkyo BD-SP809 will benefit from Marvell Qdeo processing that includes deinterlacing, noise reduction and upscaling. That high video quality is a part of what helped to earn this player THX certification. Onkyo will be making the SP809 available in August at a price of $599. |
