With friends like Onkyo, the BDA doesn't need enemies.]]>Nov 11th 2008 1:50AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/
The remote control, the firmware, the components...

Get educated. The Onkyo is Member #4 of the Funai family of clones.]]>Nov 11th 2008 7:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/

That said, this is a box designed to fit into a rack. You'd generally hook the thing up to a suitable receiver. Sure, you can use an older receiver with a BD player that decodes the newer codecs and sends them via analog, but I have to admit to feeling this kind of thing should stay digital until the very last moment, and requiring it be sent digitally to a receiver isn't a bad thing.

Still, at only $600, and with only the purchase of a suitable HDTV and a $500+ AV Receiver required to make use of it, this truly is evidence that Blu-ray's becoming the popular, affordable, format we all want it to be.





HAHAHAHAHA! Ha ha ha ha ha! *snort* Woohoohoohoohahahaha!

And squiggleslash, it really doesn't matter what is decoding the audio, the player or the receiver. If the player decodes, it will output a LPCM stream (up to 7.1) via HDMI which the receiver will see, and understand perfectly fine. (The PS3 decodes and outputs this way) The only downside is no pretty DTS MA light will light up on the receiver, and it will say LPCM 7.1/5/1 or something similar. But you still get the full sound out of it.]]>Nov 11th 2008 11:14AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/
You can have Profile 2.0 and internal decoding, but any "pro" line has to have rs-232, or some kind of Home Automation control interface.]]>Nov 11th 2008 8:19AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 8:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/Nov 11th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/10/onkyo-finally-launches-599-dv-bd606p-pro-blu-ray-player/
