The BD7004 is a 2nd Generation Blu-ray player offering the full Profile2.0 / BD-Live specification. The new design,

with centred mechanism, perfectly complements the Marantz receiver and amplifier line up. In addition to

astonishing picture quality from Blu-ray (24fps) the BD7004 gives your DVDs a higher quality boost – thanks to

Anchor Bay’s VRS™ video processing, which outputs 1080p from standard material via the HDMI 1.3a port. On the

audio side, the BD7004 has a 7.1 decoder for all major HD-audio formats including Dolby True HD and DTS HD. And

for the purist who enjoys music from CDs a Pure Direct Mode helps ensure outstanding quality audio reproduction.

To further extend quality, the additional top-cover metal plate helps minimize vibration for a highly stable sound

stage and more detailed image.

The moment that the Blu-ray standard became fully specified was also the moment for Marantz to give the green

light to its engineers and to pull out all the stops. They were told to create the ultimate-quality Blu-ray and SACD

player for best pictures and best sound. The result is the flagship UD9004: an unbelievably pulsating experience for

your eyes and your ears. The UD9004 incorporates Silicon Realta Optix HQV 10-bit processing technology from

professional broadcast systems with no less than 10 technologies for a breathtaking picture experience from DVD

and Blu-ray. It also has a whole host of state-of-the-art features to reproduce exceptional-quality audio – as you

would expect from a Marantz player. It includes a heavy multilayer copper-plated chassis, and an audio-exclusive

strong power supply with encased Toroidal transformer and customized capacitors. To avoid any cross talk to the

main front channels, dedicated boards are used in the XLR outputs, the main cinch outputs, and the left over

channels. So in total four audio boards with only the best components are used. And, because it includes the

Marantz HDAM-SA2s and an all-over sound tuning, the result is a spacious, lively and well tonal balanced,

exceptional audio reproduction.

Although the UD8004 is a more accessible Universal Disc player solution, it is still a truly exceptional-quality

flagship unit, benefiting greatly from the UD9004. Its absolute video integrity ensures excellent Blu-ray playback

and it actively improves the quality of your DVDs - that’s because the new Anchor Bay video processing chip

optimises any signal with adaptive 3D de-interlacing, noise reduction and detail enhancement. For the analogue

video-out, it applies a 297MHz/12bit DAC. On the audio side, Marantz has ensured excellent reproduction of CD and

SACD by building in a dedicated power supply exclusively for analogue audio. HDAM-SA2s are used for all channels

and are divided over two independent audio boards. And all of this functionality and high quality reproduction is

packed in a very solid chassis.
