Tweet

Onkyo has announced US availability of the DV-BD507, a new, state-of-the-art, BD-Live interactive Blu-ray disc player. Previously only available in Europe, this full-featured player delivers high-definition 1080p video playback and high-resolution multi-channel audio over an HDMI 1.3a. It has all the capabilities one would expect of a mid-tier Blu-ray player at a pretty affordable price.

The Onkyo DV-BD507 plays Blu-ray discs in their native 1080p resolution and includes compatibility with Deep Color and x.v. Color specifications for HDMI 1.3a. It also supports upscaling of standard DVDs to full 1080p resolution using its internal scaling software. The Onkyo DV-BD507 can also process AVCHD video clips stored on an SD or SDHC card or via DVD-R/RW.

The Onkyo DV-BD507 features BD-Live (Profile 2.0) for enhanced interactivity through the Internet, making additional and updated content available through instant download. When used in conjunction with an optional 1 GB (or greater) SD/SDHC card, the player includes BonusView features to allow for picture-in-picture capabilities while viewing the main feature.

The Onkyo DV-BD507 is currently available at a suggested retail price of $449.
