There’s plenty to like about this Onkyo player, but ultimately it left me feeling rather nonplussed. You see, I really enjoyed its predecessor, the BD-SP808. Even a year ago, that model was lacking niceties, but it compensated with raw performance. Som...
There a few things to consider before choosing the Onkyo BD-809 Blu-ray Player. If you are interested in all the latest streaming, top notch video upconversion and DACs, and dual HDMI outputs, this THX certified Blu-ray player might be for you. But if...
Low noise, High quality HD, Commendable DVD upscaling, 3Dready
Poor streaming options, Ugly user interface, No IPTV portal, No Super Audio CD/ DVDAudio compatibility
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...

Abstract: Reviews at AV MAX are incomplete without an Onkyo addition. They've been sending us their receivers and speakers for as long as we can remember, all the while designing budget-friendly Blu-ray players. Since we are in the times of 3D-everything, they have...
Onkyo's BD-SP809 is a very basic player. It does just the bare essentials and it does them well. There are some major and minor faults like Blu-ray load-time and not being able to support many video/audio formats that most of its competitors support with ...
Das Laufwerk des Onkyo ist selbst während des Einlesevorgangs angenehm leise, allerdings ist es bei Blu-Rays und bei DVD’s sehr träge. Leicht zerkratzte Discs spielt der Onkyo ohne Probleme ab. Das Booten mit aktivierter Schnell-Start-Version geht rel...
