I never thought I would say that about a Onkyo product. But this is a very dissapointing equipment. Sure, it's great to have a 6-disc changer at home, specially with wife and kids all wanting to watch different things. The sound is good and the remote easy to use. Them comes the pictures. It has a major, and from what I could see in other reviews around the net, tint problem. The picture gets extremely green. No matter how much you adjust the DVD or the TV, you allways see the "greeness" in everything. The jpeg compatibility is awfull. A picture takes almost 30 seconds to load. And despite all those problems, I live outside the US and can't return the player for anothe one. It seems like Onkyo has just released a DV-CP702 model, exactly the same as this one, but fixind those bugs. So, if you get a chance to buy this model, don't, you'll regret it.

I've had nothing but problems with mine. It's been in the shop 3 times and is now out of warranty. It chokes randomly on certain disks...just can't read them. It's slooooooooow.

I expected a lot more from Onkyo, and am bitterly disappointed. At least they stopped making it.

I bought the refurbished player with 1 year warranty for $99.
The picture is wonderful and sound blows you away. This player will also play DVD+RW (not mentioned in specs) and my SVCD movies.

i have two onkyo receivers, and they are great, but this is a very unreliable onkyo product,,the remote will not allow you to move between scenes , unless it is in the right mood, the dvd's jam, many will not play,,,so i thought it could be a cd player only,,,surprise,, only 3 of the 6 slots actually work,,the remainder are not recognized or jam,,,i am now looking for another multi disc dvd to replace this. the newer onkyo products get good reviews, but this is such a disappointment, i am not taking a chance on any onkyo player.

This unit has been harshly judged on some of the other electronics web sites. I have used the player for about a week now. The sound quality is first rate using the Burr Brown DAC. I am also satisifed with the progressive scan video quality. I just have not expereinced the problems that others have mentioned. The only weakness was in the area of jpg playback. For under 200 dollars this player is great value.
