Marantz unveils its flagship BD8002 Blu-ray player (5/3/2009)

Marantz is proud to unveil its flagship Blu-ray player, the BD8002 - an ultimate-quality, reference standard High Definition source component.

Its full High Definition, 1080p image and true film-like 24 frames per second output means movies have never looked more life-like and crystal clear. Meanwhile, the player delivers a one hundred percent lossless, High Definition soundtrack thanks to its decoding of Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Even better, the high quality video and audio processing ensures standard DVDs will look and sound almost as good as HD material.

The remote controlled BD8002 has a multitude of features: first of all it is equipped with an HDMI 1.3a terminal, supporting 24fps, Deep Color and all raw High Definition data; an unrivalled 12-bit/297MHz video chipset; a pair of SHARC DSPs for HD Audio Decoding; and a 10-bit Silicon Optix Realta processor with the HQV™ system for the ultimate high-definition video resolution.

The latter offers improved video performance with upconversion and IP scaling to 1080p for DVDs. The pixel-by-pixel and Digital Noise Reduction afforded by this technology allows the player to remove image-degrading artifacts, resulting in absolutely clear, high-resolution images.

In addition to its compatibility with both Blu-Ray and DVD discs, the BD8002 can also handle VCDs, SVCDs, MP3s, WMA and DivX video files, and display JPEG images – making it the ideal solution for high-quality enjoyment of today’s many audio and video formats. A SD card slot allows easy viewing of high definition videos and photos, and even digitally stored music.

With the introduction of the Final Standard Profile – profile 1.1 – Blu-ray lets you enjoy movies at a whole new level with never before seen features, such as picture-in-picture mode, which delivers enhanced commentary from directors and actors, backstage pass and peek behind the scenes.

The slick Graphical User Interface provides easy and clear set up. Completing the package is an RS232 interface and an intuitive remote control for easy controlling.

The Marantz BD8002 is available now.
