Ouch, it does look a Funai although in fairness it looks closer to the Philips BDP7200 than to the Sylvania / Magnavox brands. Funai are the OEM for all of them but the cheaper models don't have the 5.1 analogue or optical outputs. Still a lot of money though for a badge and new case when the BDP7200 can be had for $300.
It's not the first time either for Onkyo to rebadge a player and slap a huge premium on it. Their DV-HD805 player was a rebadged HD-XA2, both of which were OEM'd by a company called Alco.
