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 BD5004 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 BD5004 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 BD5004 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 BD5004 uses an HDMI output to transport the signal to your TV set. But the output on the BD5004 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 carries 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 BD5004. A 192 kHz/24-bit audio converter feeds high definition signals to the finely crafted stereo analog audio circuits. 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 BD5004 from Marantz.
