Has anybody heard or delt with this company OneCall? I have not heard of them, but that is a great deal.

 

[Triggerhappy007]

Woohoo, someone replied and thought it's a good deal.

Onecall is a very good company. They are an authorized reseller for everything they sell. They have many ads in the back of Sound&Vision magazine.

I ordered one Friday at noon and had a tracking number by 3pm. This is a nice player for 1/3 the cost of a new one. Going to replace my Onkyo CD changer and Proscan DVD player with this... one less thing on the rack now.

I already have a 5 disc changer, but mine is SLOW to do anything. Switching disks, reading media, etc. How does this compare? Also, does it play WMA and can it randomly play mp3s?

Well, I just received the one I ordered. When I plugged it in I found out the tray would not open. Not sure if this was just a dud or what it's really annoying.

oooh, this sucks - anybody else get one of these and have problems?

I got in on this deal and I have to say that the player is awesome! I have had no problems and the unit is exactly what I've been looking for in upgrading to a new progressive scan player; 5-discs, Progressive Scan, MP3's. The remote is pretty puny but very functional, (I use a universal remote and will teach it the buttons from the new remote).

The unit is pretty big, but since I am retiring an old 5-disc CD player and an old DVD player, I still have room. For those features, $99 was worth a gamble to me and I feel like it paid off.

My wife came down while I was watching Titanic and said, "Oh you spent $100 on that? I can't tell a difference." I changed the player back to interlaced mode and then she said, "Oh, well... I see... Okay change it back... Hurry!"

I have bought several things from Onecall recently and found them to be competively priced and excellent to deal with on the phone. My player was shipped on the same day I ordered it, (Friday), and I had in my gruby hands on Monday.

Overall I am pretty happy about it.

Thanks!

I bought a new ONKYO dvd player same model but single disc and had the same problem with the tray not opening. I paid $99 for the single disc and am tempted to return it and get the 5 disc for the same price.

I got this Onkyo DVD player delivered today and hooked it up. So far its working well. I don't know if the picture quality is better than the Konka 1800u it replaces but maybe I need to re-adjust my TV.

The box says that the unit is "blemished" but I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The front panel did have fingerprints and smudges which cleaned off.

If it keeps on working, it is well worth the price.

A couple of points:

1) Just because they advertise in Sound and Vision magazine doesn't make them a good company.

2) They might be authorized, but it doesn't mean they are a compassionate company.

Read through the thread on the Harman Kardon 8000 receiver either here in the hot deals forum or over at the Home Theater Forum to get a better idea of how supportive (NOT!) One Call is when it comes to issues with the gear you've purchased.

My post is not meant to be a thread crap. I'm just trying to get a message out there that people need to research a company a little bit beyone their advertisements in Sound and Vision magazine, their BizRate rating and one person saying their a great company. Clearly reading through the suggested readings that I've provided might give a potential customer a bit of a "well-rounded" opinion of this company.

My friends & I have had nothing but good experiences with Onecall.com (actually Huppin's in Seattle), and that includes almost 10 grand in purchases (couple HDTV's & several components). They are also the favorite retailer over at www.hometheaterspot.com.

I noticed on mine that the black levels were much higher than my older Toshiba DVD player, but I didn't see on the Onkyo where to adjust the black levels. Plus, don't forget to set the Onkyo to output to a 16:9 tv if your tv is 16:9!

I will also echo the positive feedback for Onecall. I have bought other gear from them and have had nothing but good experiences with them.

Thanks!

i've ordered from Onecall before...received it in a timely manner. Didn't have any troubles, so i can't comment on their CS.

Got this player, ran it through paces, it works fine, looks new, package definetely like new from the factory - staples in the box, no holes from other staples, as I said completely new. It does take time to switch from disk to disk, but probably less time, than I would spend getting up, finding the next disk and switching it manually in a one-disk player. The tray opens fine, now that I red about that, I think usually tray is taped during shiping, to prevent it from opening, but in this case it wasn't , so maybe the shipping is responsible for troubles people having. Anyway, 1/3 price, nice menus, solid built, got it on the 3d business day from order, thanks for the deal.

Anyone know if this player supports SVCD? Thx
