Onkyo has introduced the DV-CP704, a stylish and high-performing six-disc DVD changer that features an HDCP-compliant HDMI output for single-cable audio and video connections to modern A/V receivers and video displays. The player is capable of upsampling DVD video to either 720p or1080i and is compatible with a wide range of disc formats, including DVD-Video, audio CDS, and CD-R/RWs encoded with WMA™ or MP3 files.

The DV-CP704 boasts 108 MHz/14-bit digital-to-analog video DACs and high quality video processing for crystal clear visual images and vivid color via rear panel HDMI or component video outputs. An internal scaling engine can be used to convert output at the HDMI jack to 720p or 1080i formats for improved performance with high definition video displays. Finally, the player also features both composite and S-video outputs for compatibility with a broad range of display equipment.

For maximum fidelity in audio reproduction, the DV-CP704 employs 192 kHz/24-bit audio DACs coupled with the company’s proprietary Vector Linear Shaping Circuit (VLSC) for smooth and linear analog output. Onkyo’s Direct Digital Path further enhances audio quality by maximizing fidelity of signal transfer and eliminating potential noise interference.

The Onkyo DV-CP704 features a streamlined low-profile housing with an attractive blue illuminated disc tray to simplify disc changes. The player includes a wide array of playback options, including consecutive playback of all discs, whole disc or A-B block repeat, and shuffle modes for one or all discs, including those containing WMA or MP3 files.

The DV-CP704 includes a full function remote control, and is currently available in both Black and Silver finishes at a suggested retail price of $229.
