Onkyo BD-SP809 Pro Reviews

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

Despite a good visual performance, the Onkyo BD-SP809 isn't a convincing mid-range audiophile option. All of this leads us to conclude that this is basically a Blu-ray player created for the Onkyo hardcore. The rest of us will find better equipped models elsewhere. While we can't knock its picture performance, Onkyo's BD-SP809 is a Blu-ray player that's run out of time. Rival mid-range audiophile options, particularly the Cambridge Azur 651, are a much more inviting prospect. It's only worth considering if you want to complete an all-Onkyo equipment stack.

As you'd expect from a company with an enviable reputation for high-performance home cinema, Onkyo's premium Blu-ray player is a serious piece of kit. Sporting THX certification and 3D support, the BD-SP809 is aimed at enthusiasts in pursuit of the best possible picture, which is why it also includes Marvell's increasingly ubiquitous (and very powerful) Qdeo video processing.

Onkyo’s BD-SP809 is an excellent Blu-ray player in many respects. Its robust build quality, eye-popping 2D and 3D picture quality and classy music performance all deserve our utmost praise. It’s also great to find DLNA and THX certification, 3D support, detailed picture adjustments, two HDMIs and Marvell upscaling on the spec sheet. But on the flipside, the lack of Wi-Fi and web content, temperamental media streaming, slow disc loading and limited format support might deter some buyers. If these things bother you, check out the Panasonic DMR-BDT310 or Sony BDP-S580, but if your only concerns are solid AV performance and build quality then the BD-SP809 is certainly worth a look.
