Taking the checklist to the DV-CP706 is a simple way to reveal its all-around home theater appeal. You can begin by noting its capability to store, change, and play up to six video and audio discs. Then, add another check mark for being the first Onkyo six-disc changer to be able to upscale standard DVDs all the way to high-definition 1080p resolution. And should you connect this player to an A/V receiver with highly advanced scaling capabilities, you can also choose to output the video at a native resolution of 480i. It also employs Onkyo's VLSC circuitry for noise-free digital-to-analog audio signal processing, along with user-friendly control functions such as disc navigator. Add to that an impressively robust build - with an isolated circuitry layout to minimize digital noise, a solid fascia, and an ultra-quiet loading mechanism - and you have a six-disc changer that will provide years of move and music entertainment perfectly tailored to your needs.

I mainly bought this player because I have an Onkyo receiver. I had to return the first player I received. I had the same problem as some of the other reviewers, it would not play dvds with minor scratches. I tested 4 rental dvds and only 1 would play. All 4 would play on another dvd player. I do not think this is a "high end" component issue but a "low end" quality control issue.
The replacement player has been working fine so far with cds and rental dvds. I have also tried dvds with jpeg pictures. It requires the right file size and using the hd jpeg setting. It seemed to work best with photos that were 4x6 size at 150 dpi. The full size (2 to 3 megs) photos were displayed smaller, possibly compressed to fit the screen size.
I would say if you already have an Onkyo receiver, this is worth considering. Try a few rental dvds in it to see if it is working correctly. If not, return it for another one, Amazon makes this a pretty easy process.

I bought this changer because I really wanted a disc changer for music and this consolidated the DVD player and disk changer into one. It works perfectly well with our Samsung HDTV and old Sony home theater receiver. The picture is great, although I am not an expert. I do see a difference between it and HD channels, but it is not a Blu Ray, so as expected.

Had planned to build an Onkyo branded complete A/V system around this changer. Those plans, and the money Onkyo might have gotten from me, are now in question. The same errors that the other 1 star posters have had are exactly what I've experienced. Bad Disk, skipping, not recognizing a disk is present, freezing, etc. Additionally, like the other posters, this started randomly and infrequently and has progressively gotten worse. It's now a paper weight and with the price of electronics I'm debating on getting it fixed (likely more than a new player). Onkyo should be contacting it's customers and replacing these defective players. Don't be fooled by a positive review. They may have just received their changer. It will get worse for them in time.

I bought this on Amazon and it worked for a few days then stopped reading DVDs and CDs. I will return it and try another brand even though I have been pretty loyal to Onkyo and I currently have an Onkyo reciever. Other reveiwers have had similar problems. I would suggest you stay away from this one.

As previously posted, this unit will NOT play rental (or even mildly scratched) DVDs. Which is a problem because a number of our DVDs are kids movies and they get scratched with repeadted use. All the problematic DVDs play perfectly fine on a cheapo ($20) DVD player but this "high-end" unit is too much of a prima donna for these DVDs.

January 2010 UPDATE:
Took the unit to an authorized repair shop and they honored the warranty (I originally purchased it from Amazon). After the repair, the unit is AMAZING! No problems whatsoever and the sound and picture quality is far superior to cheapo DVD players! Repair center said some parts with laser, etc. tend to come loose with shipping and handling from online retailers. Took them a week to get the required parts and repair... all for free and worth the wait! If you're having problems with this unit definitely try taking it to an authorized repair shop! Would give it 5 stars if it came this way out of the box!
