Onkyos never been one to dabble in the Blu-ray bargain basement, but with BD decks selling for well under the $200 mark, were wondering what kind of secret sauce is boxed in with the DV-BD507. The outfits latest Profile 2.0 player doesnt sound too special based on specs alone, as it supports HDMI 1.3a, 1080p output, BD-Live functionality and BonusView features just like every other respectable rival on the market already. Sure, we cant say we dont appreciate its innate ability to process AVCHD files stored on SD / SDHC cards or toasted DVDs, but even on a good day we cant justify the $449 MSRP. Maybe its upgradable to 3D... or something. Fancy rear shot is waiting after the break.
