Onkyo DV-SP406B Single Disc DVD Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good choice for an SD DVD player. It will upscale to 1080p and does so pretty well. It's a notch below my Oppo 983H, but considering it costs far less than the Oppo, the performance is well worth the cost.

The build quality is solid, as is typical with Onkyo products. Installation is a snap (basically, just plug in the HDMI cable). The HDMI cable is not included (get one from monoprice at a very reasonable cost). Easy to use menu system, and the disks load quickly.

The only downside is the remote, which is small and has poorly marked buttons. But, it has volume and mute control for Onkyo receivers, so it's a good match should you have that brand.

I compared it against several players from Sony, Toshiba and Phillips. The Phillips felt "cheap" to me (but were the lowest priced units). The Sony and Toshiba were more substantial in build quality, but I went with the Onkyo based upon past experience with the brand and the fact that this will be hooked to an Onkyo receiver.

It's more resistant to skips and hangs than my older Sony, a big issue if you rent disks. It's not as capable as the Oppo in dealing with damaged disks, but again, you're paying a lot less for this.

So far I've found this to be an excellent value and a strong performer.
