Take your Blu-ray experience Live
Combining Blu-ray Disc media with the internet is kind of like combining chocolate and peanut butter — the result is nothing short of delicious. With its built-in BD-Live capability, the Onkyo DV-BD507 Blu-ray player takes your Blu-ray experience beyond HD video and audio. Simply connect the DV-BD507 to your pre-existing internet service via the player's built-in ethernet port, plug an SD memory card into the media slot, and instantly begin enjoying a diverse array of bonus features and materials. How diverse? With BD-Live functionality, you can watch deleted scenes, shorts, and trailers. You can participate in online gaming. You can even chat with other BD-Live users thanks to audio and video messaging capabilities. It's time to go live.
A whole new kind of blues
We're not talking about the kind of blues that get you all blubbery about long-lost loves. We're talking about a kind of blue that super-charges your home theater experience with high definition video and audio. While DVD technology uses a wide red laser to encode and read information on an optical disc, Blu-ray Disc technology uses a much narrower, blue-violet laser. Because the Blu-ray laser is so much finer than the DVD laser, it is able to encode significantly more information in the same space as DVD. And by "significantly more information" we mean five times as much! Consequently, Blu-ray Disc media are capable of storing both Full HD 1080p video and lossless, 7.1-channel studio-quality surround sound audio. And, guess what? There's still room left over for a variety of bonus materials like deleted scenes and director commentary. And thanks to its advanced HDMI output, the DV-BD507 lets you send both the HD video and audio to your receiver via a single cable. While the DV-BD507 outputs Full HD 1080p video, its bitstream 7.1-channel audio output must be sent to a Dolby TrueHD or dts-HD Master Audio-enabled receiver for full decoding.
DVD lives on!
Given Blu-ray Disc's Full HD video, studio-quality audio, and bonus materials, any reasonable person would expect a dismal future for DVD. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. Using integrated video-upscaling technology, the Onkyo DV-BD507 enhances standard definition DVD video to HD levels via HDMI, ideal for viewing on your HDTV. Your DVD collection lives on!
The advanced connectivity of HDMI
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Onkyo's DV-BD507 features a single HDMI output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
Your HD lifeline
High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passes along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater’s high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It’s only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann’s sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.

This Blu ray player gave a really beautiful picture, had great sound and was easy to use. However, the unit I received had a fairly noisy fan. Im not sure whether all of these players have a slightly noisy fan, or just the unit I received. Also, this noise may not be bothersome to all people, but it distracted me.
I returned the unit and Vanns was terrific at reimbursing me. Vanns has really stellar customer service and the people at their 800 number are really helpful and nice.
I have made several purchases from Vanns and have always had really great interactions with their staff.
Thanks Vanns!!

Onkyo DVBD507
I just purchased this DVD player and havent had a chance to play a Blu-Ray disc on it yet. From what I have noticed so far, the results are good. There is ease in setup and instruction for use. I have noticed that there is signifcantly less skipping with this player. I have also notice a slight improvement in sound 6.1 Dolby Digital, Non-HD.
The only 2 issues that I have with this player is that 1 it doesnt have seekforwardreverse buttons on the player itself, and 2 my older Onkyo Receivers remote doesnt program with this DVD player.
Overall I believe the Onkyo DVD player is worth the money @ one hundred seventy usd but the reliability has yet to prove itself. So far, so good.

Product was extremely easy to setup. While it does have a setup menu, nothing really needed to be changed as it was good to go straight out of the box.
Disc Load Time is comparable, if not better, than many other brands I have seen. Picture & Sound quality is great using the HDMI. Everything about the product is simple. One particular feature I liked that is missing from some other brands is the ability to resume playback after pressing stop.
I did consider other brands, but It was the perfect addition to my Onkyo Home Theater System. I am extremely please with its looks, design and performance.

I bought this coupled with an Onkyo surround sound system actually was a throw in deal and overall the value was outstanding. Player performs well. Very long load time for discs but I understand this is typical for BD players however Im not fully up to speed on nuances of BD players. Works very well for this novice.

The Onkyo DVBD507 replaced an older DVD player that was refusing to play certain DVD movies. I also wanted to be able to watch Blu-ray format as I upgrade my components.The Onkyo was easy to hook-up using the express instructions and played DVDs flawlessly.
Vanns package arrived on the promised date and in good condition.

I received my DVBD507 a few days ago and havent been able to turn it off. I ordered several Blu-Ray movies, some of which I already had on DV, and the difference is stark! I also had a compressed music file on DVD which contains 43 complete CDs, some with up to 19 tunes of Jazz, blues, rock, R&B - the works, and it plays them perfectly. Having been partial to Onkyo since the early 90s, the 507 is a perfect compliment to my new Onkyo TX-SR607 Receiver. I am perfectly satisfied with both and recommend them to anyone who expects to get what they paid for. Also, the 607 has outs for 2 powered sub-woofers. My theater is 24x25 and the sound is excellent. I also recommend Vanns for prompt shipment and customer service.
