You might not want to look at the results in the latest Secrets shootout :

Video only performance. In order of their ranking.

Here is a complete review, where they do more comparisons between it and the 47a and 47ai:

The Onkyo is also talked about in the latest Perfect Vision.



Hi Kevin,

Look me a minute to figure out who "ORM" is :-).

Thanks for the heads up on the players. I want an SACD + DVD-Audio unit. Did some research and can't find a clear winner. The Yamaha S2300 has the best video performance, but possibly worst audio. The Pioneer 47ai has some video problems, but possibly fewer than the SP800. And the audio might be better as well. Seems like a better all-around unit than the SP800?
