  If no sound is coming from your Onkyo DVD Player, there could be several reasons. First, check if the [Digital Out] in the Audio menu is set to [Off], and if so, set it to [On]. Also, make sure that the [Linear PCM Out] setting is not set to [Down Sample Off]. If it is, either connect using the analog outputs, or set [Linear PCM Out] to [Down Sample On]. Check the current sound signal conversion method, and select the right setting. Ensure that the pause mode is not engaged by pressing or II to exit the pause mode. Increase the volume level of your TV or amplifier. If you are playing a DVD or CD recorded in DTS audio, connect the digital output on the player to the digital input on a receiver or amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder.

Why is the screen stretched on my Onkyo DV-SP800?

  jeffersongregoryAug 27, 2025
  If the screen appears stretched or the aspect ratio doesn't change on your Onkyo DVD Player, it might be due to an incorrect multi aspect setting. To fix this, change the aspect setting in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu to the screen type most appropriate to the TV or monitor you are using. If your TV is connected with an S-Video cord, the picture may appear stretched. In this case switch the output from [S2] to [Sl].

- J
  Jason LyonsAug 29, 2025

Why are some MP3 tracks missing from a disc on my Onkyo DVD Player?
- O
  ogarciaAug 30, 2025
  If some MP3 tracks appear to be missing from a disc on your Onkyo DVD Player, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the track name ends in “.mp3” or “.MP3”, and if not, change the track name. This player only recognizes the first 250 folders and tracks on a disc. If there are more folders/tracks than this, you will not be able to play them. Also, this player is not compatible with multi-session discs. If the disc is multi-session, you will only be able to play tracks recorded onto the first session.

Why can't Onkyo DV-SP800 output 96kHz or 88.2 kHz digital audio?
- S
  shannon28Aug 31, 2025
  If your Onkyo DVD Player cannot output 96kHz or 88.2 kHz digital audio, it may be because some discs are digital copy protected. Check that the [Linear PCM] settings is not set to [Down Sample On].

Why does frame search skip frames on Onkyo DV-SP800?
- C
  Connie GarciaSep 2, 2025
  If frame search doesn’t find the frame number input, or some frames are skipped when using frame advance on your Onkyo DVD Player, it may be because you are using discs recorded in 24 frames/second progressive scan format. With these discs, the player ‘misses’ one frame every six frames.
