OK, so you know the benefits of HDMI. That's the high definition audio/video (or "multi-media") interface that lets you connect a DVD player, for example, to a processor or receiver with just one cable. And then use just one more cable to get all that information to your TV screen. Think you'd like that convenience? And how about switching so you can select one or the other HDMI-equipped source without the hassle of changing multiple cables? The SR4002 has it. Not quite that far on the leading edge? Don't worry. Instead, think about the advantages of having assignable component video inputs. And S-video to component video upconversion so you can enjoy superb picture quality from almost any source. Yes, the SR4002 has them too. A second zone audio output so you can enjoy your favorite sources in a different area of your home. Well, to steal a phrase from a spaghetti sauce company, "It's in there." You'll also find Dolby Headphone, so you can enjoy a surround experience in private. Think of those late night TV broadcasts in surround sound. Now you can listen as loudly as you want without waking your neighbor. Or your baby. The infrared flasher input lets the SR4002 play nicely with other components in your system. And the backlit remote controller easily learns those other commands so it can converse intelligently with every citizen in your home entertainment world. In fact, everything you really need for a great system is in the SR4002.

Marantz BD8002 Blu-Ray Disc Player

Marantz BD8002 Blu-Ray Disc Player Review



The BD8002 sets new standards as the source component in today's most advanced home entertainment systems. It plays DVDs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, MP3 and WMA encoded files as well as today's Blu-ray high definition video discs. And a front-panel SD card reader eases the task of displaying your personal photographs on a large-screen display. Audio performance, Marantz's raison d'être, is nothing short of breathtaking. The BD8002 brings you every nuance, every percussive peak, every effect, every instrument thanks to critical circuit path routing and exceptional parts selection distilled from decades of experience. Built-in Dolby True HD and dts HD Master Audio 32-bit floating point processors let you output these reference-class audio formats via 7.1 channel analog connections or in digital form via an HDMI 1.3a link. Burr-Brown's PCM-1796 D/A converters provide 24-bit resolution as well as dynamic range capability in excess of 120 dB. Separate power supply connections for digital and analog portions of these advanced converters insures premium performance and reflects the attention Marantz engineers bring to audio performance. On the video side, a Silicon Optix Realta HQV video processor provides outstanding scaling to 1080p for exceptional big-screen detail from conventional DVDs.

For hard-core video aficionados, Marantz's selectable Pure Direct Digital Video circuit passes a DVD's unprocessed 480i digital video data to any advanced display device (a Marantz VP-11S2 projector, for example) to avoid the pitfalls of duplicate scaling and processing.
