Onkyo THX Blu-ray Coming in September

The Onkyo BD-SP808 is a high-end Blu-ray player complete with THX and DNLA 1.5 certification, and it's due out in September.  The player uses a centrally mounted drive and a rigid chassis to minimise vibration, the Marvel Qdeo video scaler and it supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, while the drive itself plays DVD and CD in addition to Blu-ray.  An SD card slot on the front panel will playback video content too.

Around the back of the player, there is a single HDMI port, an Ethernet socket, an RS232 jack, an optical and coaxial output and a component video out too.  By connecting the SP808 to the Internet, users will be able to access Blockbuster On Demand too.

So, how much will this non-3D Blu-ray cost?  It will retail for $599 and as we mentioned, it'll be on sale in September.
