This was my first DVD player as part of the home theatre set. This DVD is awful. Stay away from Onkyo.

Everything but the 2 negatives I mentioned above.

The 2 things mentioned. Please take into account that this unit is defective and the PQ is probably brilliant on a non-defective unit.

I purchased this Onkyo refurbished 6 disc DVD changer as a replacement for my Sony 5 disc CD changer because I wanted to combine my DVD and CD players into one unit, and I wanted at least 1080i upconversion. I sold my Sony CD changer and I'm sorry I did. The picture using HDMI and Component output to my Samsung 50" 1080p DLP display is almost unwatchable. I am sending this unit back and I ordered the new OPPO DV-980H 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player from Amazon.
The picture on the Onkyo is very grainy and not sharp at all. I believe this unit is defective and even though it is refurbished by Onkyo and Amazon did offer a replacement, I decided to go with the highly regarded Oppo single disc player. Another complaint I have with this changer is the time it takes to change from one disc to another in Party (Shuffle) mode. I counted about 22 seconds. That's unacceptable. My old Sony took less than half the time. It is a nice unit though other than the 2 negatives I mentioned. If I had not received a defective unit, I probably would be keeping it. A blessing in disguise? We’ll see.
