The Marantz BD8002 is the reference standard universal player in their range, having HDMIv1.3a output, 24fps video and 7.1 channel analogue audio output to ensure it is compatible with existing AV receivers. Being the reference standard also means it is constructed of top quality components in a robust chassis.

Like the Marantz BD7003 the BD8002 creates a full High Definition 1080p image and outputs Blu-ray discs in a true film-like 24 frames per second and its HDMI 1.3a output terminal supports Deep Color. The stunning image via the analogue video outputs is created by a high quality 12-bit/297MHz video DAC.

If you have a recent model AV receiver then you will benefit from the fact that it can output the HD audio formats Dolby True HD and DTS HD, alongside the lossless 5.1 PCM signal converted from the HD audio. This High Definition soundtrack, makes your home cinema experience as intense and exciting as possible and the lossless 5.1pcm means the Marantz BD8002 can be connected to every existing Marantz A/V receiver with HDMI inputs for HD audio, even if there are no decoders on board.

Video upconversion of DVD to 1080p

DVDs played on the Marantz BD8002 Blu-ray Disc player benefit from video upconversion to 1080p. "Upconversion" is the term used to describe the conversion of a lower image resolution to an apparently higher one. In order to achieve that higher resolution, the BD8002 player fills in additional image data by assessing existing pixels and intelligently predicting what the surrounding pixels should look like.

Upconversion is a great feature for owners of HD Ready digital TVs who want to watch their DVDs at a higher resolution that more closely matches the capabilities of their TV. With the Marantz BD8002 upconverting to 1080p you get an HDTV picture from your existing DVDs to suit an HDTV ready screen such as the Panasonic 50" TH-50PF10EK, 65" TH-65PF10BK, or the many other LCD and plasma Full HD screens.

Music

The Marantz BD8002 is a universal disc player and plays DVD-V, DVD-R/RW, SVCD, DivX and CD-R/RW discs, including MP3, WMA and JPEG files. It’s never been easier getting a portable music player loaded. And of course with Marantz, audio excellence is guaranteed with a 24-bit/192kHz audio DAC and carefully selected audiophile-grade components.

Completing the package is an RS232 interface and an intuitive remote control for easy control.
