This 0nkyo DV-CP704B changer plays DVD and CD discs in a variety of formats. lt's ready for play on widescreen TV models that are capable of 720p or 1080i resolution (through use of optional HDMl connectivity). The versatile and reliable changer mechanism lets you change up to 4 discs as one continues to play.
A great way to complement a home-theater playback component with multiple disc format capabilities is to give it extended playback capabilities and superior signal processing. Also, anything as good-looking as the DV-CP704 HDMl DVD/CD/MP3 6-disc changer is going to be welcome in any home or as part of any system. lt will take charge of DVD-Video and MP3-/WMA-/HD JPEG-enabled discs all for output via HDMl (on top of digital, component, S-Video outputs) to compatible HDTV displays and receivers. Also, with the inclusion of 0nkyo's Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) and Direct Digital Path, the emphasis is on delivering an audio signal without the noise that plagues other poorly built playback components. With easy operation and simple integration, the DV-CP704 is a sophisticated addition to any home theater system. 0ptical and Coaxial Digital 0utputs 96 kHz or 48 kHz Selectable Digital 0utput Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video 0utputs Party Mode for Random Playback Ultra-Quiet Loading Mechanism Blue lllumination for Disc Recognition 0n-Screen Display (English/French/Spanish) Up to 32-Track Programming Display Dimmer (4 Modes) Auto Dynamic Range Control Brushed Hairline Aluminum Front Panel Rl (Remote lnteractive) Compatible Remote Linear Velocity - 3.49 m/s (Single Layer), 3.84 m/s (Dual Layer) Frequency Range (Digital Audio) - 4 Hz-22 kHz (48 kHz Sampling), 4 Hz-44 kHz (96 kHz Sampling); Harmonic Distortion (1 kHz) - 0.008%; Audio Dynamic Range - 95 dB S/N Ratio - 95 dB

Key technology Features:
192 kHz/24bit AD Converters: Costly, extremely powerful digital-to-analog converters , that not only boast a dynamic range of 120 dB, they process information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best possible performance from DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and audio CD.

HDMl: HDMl (High-Definition Multimedia lnterface) This high-bandwidth interface supports not only brilliant digital video, but digital audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data—more than twice what’s needed for a high-definition movie with surround sound—can be handled, with room for future requirements. All this data is kept in the digital domain, as there are no D/A or A/D conversions needed, to ensure the highest sound and video quality available.

MP3: This audio format achieves about a 10:1 compression over conventional CD audio. What does this mean? You can store many more songs using the same amount of space. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in MP3 format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.

Rl (Remote lnteractive): With 0nkyo’s exclusive Rl (Remote lnteractive) system capability, you can integrate and operate all compatible components through a single remote control. What’s more, Rl capability enables you to simply connect the iPod® to your receiver through 0nkyo’s Rl Dock for the iPod (DS-A1). Your iPod effectively becomes another 0nkyo component from which you can relish a fuller sound that just can’t be experienced through headphones. Rl capability will also give you remote operability of your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music.

WMA: This audio compression format from Microsoft® allows you to reduce the size of your audio files for storage on your computer’s hard drive or portable devices. This allows you to store many more songs than with uncompressed CD audio, using the same amount of disc space or memory. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in WMA format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording.

DTS Digital 0ut: DVD players with this logo are capable of transmitting a DTS digital signal (in coaxial and/or optical format) to a receiver or processor. The receiver or processor must be able to decode DTS signals to properly reproduce the audio.

Dolby Digital: DVD players with this logo are capable of transmitting a Dolby Digital signal (in coaxial and/or optical format) to a receiver or processor. The receiver or processor must be able to decode Dolby Digital signals to properly reproduce the audio.

JPG: JPG is a standard image format used in today's digital cameras and personal computers. DVD players that carry this logo are able to read CD-R/RWs that contain JPG image information and display slide shows on your television (such as recent vacations, family photos, etc.).

Progressive Scan: By ''painting'' an entire frame at once, scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts, and details so sharp they seem as if they’re etched onto the screen.

VLSC: Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can’t remove it completely. Previously only found on our high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result — a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s.

Buyer's feedback: - Not Recommended
ONKYO did a poor job on this one. Their receivers are excellent but this dvd player is just not worth the money. The picture via HDMI is excellent just as you would expect. I think most HDMI DVD player have quality picture nowadays so this should not be a selling point anymore. Also it looks pretty good.

The show stopper for me is that the disc changer is just way-way too slow. For a cheaper brand, I can get pretty much the same picture quality and much faster disc changer.

Save you shipping money on this one, because you are most likely not going to like it and ended up returning it. That's what happened to me.

Buyer's feedback: - * Onkyo 6 Disc DVD/CD/MP3 Player ...
My old Onkyo 6-disc gave up the ghost after 10 years...so it was time.
This was just plug and play. I was very surprised at how easier it was. Like an Apple computer simplicity! Great sound, great picture, auto selection of DVD/CD/MP3 discs.
This is an excellent purchase after trying Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, etc. -- everyone wanted to sell you a complete Home Ent Ctr., and, try to find just a DVD/CD player that is decent. Even the sales guy at Best Buy said their player was one of those that would work for about 1-2 years and poop out. I'd rather pay double for one that will last 3-5 or maybe even another 10 years!
And, now I'm ready for our new 46" flat screen LCD when the prices come down some more this year...
