 Short life-span May 3, 2008
I was happy with this changer for 14 months ..then it expired. I bought it new ..and played it moderately. I'm going to replace it with a Denon.
Complete piece of junk February 11, 2006

Easily one of the worst purchases I have ever made. It basically died completely after less than a year of light use. Even when it used to "work", it was very picky about what disks it would read, rejecting perfectly good DVDs that played fine in all my other players. Then after about six months it started getting worse and worse to the point where it now will not read anything. Last time I ever buy a no-name brand to "save" a few bucks. I would have been better off paying an extra hundred and getting a player that would have lasted more than a few months.
 Excellent DVD Player from Onkyo December 3, 2005

This DVD player is great! I have been using it for about a month now and havn't had a single problem with it. The picture quality is great and the sound is amazing using the digital audio out. I am using this player with a Onkyo 702 reciever and the pair work great together.
701 Version is Just Fine/Tips for Buying a New DVD Player January 10, 2005
19 out of 22 found this review helpful
I have had the DV-CP701 DVD Player that came with the HT-S767c Home Theater in a Box for over a year and not noticed a single problem with the player. Several reviewers have noted a tint problem with the previous 701 player, but careful searching on the web has shown me that only two or three reviewers, whose reviews have been duplicated word-for-word across the web by parasite websites, have actually complained about the problem. Complaints always get posted more often than comments by satisfied customers. In addition, the HT-S767, now upgraded into the S777 system, is a great deal for the money. While I love the multi-thousand dollar systems, sometimes you just have to use common sense and buy the great deal at a lower cost.
While there are a few slight updates with the 702 player, I honestly can't find a reason for most people to go running from the 701 version to the 702 - especially if you find the 701 for a much better price.
Now, if you are like me and you are using this player with an HD resolution system, you should also consider the newest players out on the market. In recent months single disk players have taken great leaps to include 3:2 pulldown, HDMI video/audio out, and internal upscaling to bring your DVDs up to HD resolution. In addition, you will soon see new players for the new standards of HD-DVDs and Blue-ray DVDs. These new formats are having a format war like beta and VHS had years ago. The winner will control the new DVD market - the one where DVDs match the higher resolution of your HDTV.
Of course, it is likely we will soon see some companies on the leading edge of the newest technology offering all-in-one players. These will be able to play DVDs, CDs, varous video and audio formats like DivX, HD DVDs and Blue-ray DVDs. All are likely to have both HDMI and component outputs, as well as optical/coax digital audio outputs.
This all comes to one point - if you need to buy a DVD player now, consider the future. Serious home theater folks will likely be buying a new player in 1-3 years no matter what they have purchased in the past. If you like the 701 or 702, buy it, but realize the best is yet to come. These are great players for what they are - wonderful digital audio, but not cutting-edge on the video. To keep up with the pack, Onkyo will have to soon come out with HDMI outputs and upscaling, not to mention players that can handle HD-DVD or Blue-ray, whichever wins the war.
As a note, if you want the best right now, investigate the HDMI output DVD players with upscaling to HD resolution - so far only about half actually do proper upscaling. Oh, and if anything I've posted is greek to you yet you want the best system for the money, I suggest reading more about video standards before buying anything.
Nice Changer but Lacking SA-CD or DVD-Audio Playback December 30, 2004

I love the ONKYO product line, they have great features for the money, but unfortunately the high-definition playback modes offered by newer technology such as Super Audio - CD (SACD) or DVD-Audio is only available on the DV-CP802 model or higher, which comes in a price point almost twice that of the DV-CP702 at a current market price as of 12/04 of approximately $500.00 US. - Otherwise the DV-CP702 is an excellent choice.
