Marantz DB 7004

Into the deep Blu beyond

If you’re looking at getting a Blu-ray player, chances are you already know that these discs can store up to six times as much as standard DVDs, so they hold 1080p video, the highest resolution currently available. And they can hold 7.1-channel audio tracks. Those two capabilities allow you to enjoy an immersive theater experience like never before. The expanded capacity also allows movie studios to add more bonus features than ever before. But with BD-Live, the ante is upped. BD-Live Profile 2.0 allows you to connect your Blu-ray player to the internet to download extra content to a thumb drive that you can then play on your Blu-ray player. So even if you’ve watched your favorite movie a hundred times, you can still find more new things to enjoy about it every time new material is made available through BD-Live. The Marantz BD7004 has support for BD-Live, allowing you to enjoy all the bonus content you can handle from your movies. In addition to BD-Live Profile 2.0, though, the BD7004 offers you support for Bonus View. With Bonus View, you can enjoy picture-in-picture while you watch Blu-rays, also enabling additional audio streams. This makes it perfect for watching movies that have bonuses to play during the movie. You could watch and listen as the director walks you through the movie, while still seeing the film itself. With its support for both BD-Live and Bonus View, the Marantz BD7004 allows you to take your Blu-ray experience way beyond the movie by bringing you all the bonus features you can handle!

Get into the action

Blu-ray discs give you 1080p resolution and multi-channel audio tracks. But resolution and the number of channels aren’t all that matter when it comes to picture and video quality. Like every Blu-ray player, the Marantz BD7004 uses an HDMI output to transport the signal to your TV set. But the output on the BD7004 conforms to the latest HDMI standards (v1.3a). Since it does this, it supports 36-bit Deep Color to bring your picture to life like never before. But in addition to the video side of things, it offers HD Audio bit stream outputs so it can carry the most advanced Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD formats, giving you high-definition audio to match your Full HD video. With these technologies, you can immerse yourself in your favorite shows like never before.

Let’s talk tech

In order to output such high-quality audio, Marantz had to include top-notch processing on the BD7004. A 192 kHz/24-bit audio converter feeds high definition signals to the finely crafted stereo analog audio circuits. Meanwhile, a 297MHz/12bit video DAC powers the picture. Typical of Marantz, these circuits benefit from carefully chosen Elna capacitors and other high quality parts that ensure absolutely top-shelf listening. And the remarkable 115 dB signal-to-noise specification results from careful attention to signal path routing on the circuit boards as well as meticulous grounding. Marantz’s Pure Direct signal path option offers total freedom from potential interference from video and control circuits for absolute clarity. Don’t miss out on even the smallest details in your movie’s audio with the BD7004 from Marantz.

Don’t fear outdated-ness

You may be asking yourself, but what about the shelves of DVDs I have? Are those useless now? In a word, no. Your BD7004 is extremely backwards compatible. Aside from Blu-ray discs, it will play DVDs or CDs with a variety of formats, or even SD cards of various sizes. But when you play your collection of DVDs, they will look better than ever before. That’s because the BD7004 features advanced Anchor Bay VRS technology which will automatically scale your picture to fit your TV.

Terminally cool

When it comes to inputs and outputs, the BD7004 is a step or two above most Blu-ray players. While many models offer only one HDMI connection for connectivity, the BD7004 brings you all the options you crave. It offers the standard HDMI output required to play 1080p movies. But it also features a component video output and composite A/V output to expand your connectivity capabilities. For audio junkies, there is also a 7.1-channel analog output set, with Elna capacitors on all seven channels. There is an IR input and an IR output for more control options. But if you’re of a mindset for custom home theater integration, this Marantz Blu-ray player has your back; it features an RS-232C connection to give you as much freedom as you need in setting up your system. Oh, and did we mention the A/V outputs are gold-plated for optimal signal transfer? When it comes to connectivity options, the BD7004 is at the head of its class.
