Flexibility. Affordability. Capability. Accessibility. Does that about cover your needs for a Blu-ray/DVD/CD player? Well, let’s add a front
panel slot for SD, SDHC, miniSD, and microSD memory cards. Interested now? You bet you are! More than just a disc player, the
BD5004 is a full-tilt media player. It’s the one component that answers your source needs with typical Marantz élan. And
typical Marantz performance.
The BD5004 player brings the unique cosmetic look of today’s Marantz to your system. The contoured front panel features both
aluminum and reinforced resin for a smooth, distinguished appearance that’s appropriate in any décor. And the panel’s construction
helps resist the destructive effects of unwanted vibration, too. Custom-engineered feet add a further barrier to vibration as well as a
nicely finished look.
The disc tray sits at the center of the chassis so it’s protected on all sides from external influences. You’ll appreciate its smooth action
and gentle disc handling.
And you’ll be surprised at the variety of discs the BD5004 plays. Of course, you’ll have complete access to any Blu-ray Live content as
soon as you connect this player to the net. That’s because the BD5004 conforms to Blu-ray’s advanced Profile 2.0 specification and has
the increased memory needed to make your viewing experience everything it can be.
Specifically, the BD5004 accepts Blu-ray discs (both commercial releases and recordable), DVDs (movies and DVD-R/RWs), as well as
standard and recordable CDs. And don’t forget the SD and SDHC cards as well as their mini-and microSD cousins. As does the more
costly BD7004, this player also handles disc-based DivX files in addition to AVCHD (high definition video) contained on discs or
solid-state memory devices. The BD5004 also plays WMA, MP3, and JPEG files from either discs or SD cards.
Getting all this entertainment to your screen and your speakers is easy.
An HDMI v1.3a output brings high definition video and audio to your choice of other system components. That means you’ll be able to
enjoy Deep Color video as well as the most advanced Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks.
Analog video connections include composite and component video, both fed from a 148.5MHz/12bit video digital-to-analog converter.
An embedded video DSP engine tailors the signal for optimum reproduction. The BD5004 produces stunning 1920 x 1080 resolution
at 24 frames per second for movie reproduction that rivals the best first-run theaters.
A 192 kHz/24-bit audio converter feeds high definition signals to the finely crafted stereo analog audio circuits. Typically 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.
The IR flasher input and output add system-wide control capability while an Ethernet port means you can update the BD5004’s
firmware to take full advantage of future developments.
Of course, a full-function remote control is standard.
