Babelfish tranlation of the above Italian article. (take it for what it's worth.)
Quote:
In we were attended of a copy of first HD DVD Onkyo, the DV-HD805, to recensire on the pages of AV Magazine when after a chat with the Italian distributor of the Japanese brand - the Tecnofuturo of Brescia - we have decided of common agreement that of it the pain was not worth more. Because soon it is explained: the DV-HD805 is not other that reader HD DVD rimarchiato Toshiba HD-XE1, seppur natively already compatible with streaming via HDMI the 1,3 of all algorithms audio multichannel HD without loss and of is available only one manciata of exemplary.
In consideration of the political new marketing of the Toshiba that it is making to collapse the prices of the own readers, Onkyo has been put in difficulty in position just the reader (the European price of list is of 899 Euro) and therefore has decided to interrupt of the production. Little produced pieces have been therefore redistribuiti in several the markets and it will be enough to you to know that in Italy they are arrives 11 pieces hardly to you and others will not arrive any, while in Germany they have been more fortunate with very 20 pieces and Spain of it will not receive some.
Here because of the decision not to recensire a product that, beyond to being a clone, will not be of fact never available on the market (11 Italian pieces already they have been sold). Ringraziamo Tecnofuturo for the timely communication and the company also has said a lot dispiaciuta for gets passionate to it to you. Onkyo would be however already actively working to a new reader and according to indiscretions this time of Blu-ray or a hybrid could be dealt. We will have surer news and confirmations in occasion of the next CES of Las Vegas.
