UD8004
Life AmplifiedTM
SA-CD / Blu-ray / DVD-Audio & Video / CD Universal Player
Begin with the performance and flexibility that’s based on Marantz’s flagship UD9004 universal disc player and encase it in a more space-
efficient chassis that matches our finest surround processor and multi-channel power amplifier.
The UD8004 Universal Disc Player isn’t another run-of-the-mill “commodity” device. The chassis’s two-layer bottom plate and heavy top
cover hide a triple-sectioned chassis that isolates power supply, microprocessor array, and the sensitive analog circuitry. Notice the rear
panel’s audio and video analog outputs. They’re all machined heavy-duty chassis-mount connectors. These connectors let you use
virtually any cable and switch interconnects without ripping inexpensive connectors from a printed circuit board.
The subtly contoured front panel, an ergonomic combination of extruded aluminum and fiberglass composite adds shielding,
additional rigidity, and a sophisticated look. At just a hair more than 4.3” high, it honors the Marantz tradition of exceptional
industrial design.
Notice the center disc drawer. Behind the vibration-absorbing polymeric alloy disc tray sits a new and exclusive mechanism that
provides exceptional rigidity and rotational accuracy – a prime requirement when you consider that Blu-ray discs rotate 30 times faster
than conventional CDs!
The list of supported formats includes Blu-ray (BD Video Profile 2 with Bonus View support), BD-R/RE, DVD-V & -A, DVD+R/RW, DVD-
R/RW, SA-CD (stereo and multi-channel), CD, and CD-R/RW. Let’s not forget MP3, WMA, JPEG, DivX version 6, Kodak picture CDs, or
AVCHD files either. A front panel SD card slot reads SD & SDHC cards as well as miniSD and microSD cards with an adaptor for easy
enjoyment of JPEG photos and MP3/WMA music files, too.
But the most important point is the UD8004’s extraordinary reproduction quality of both audio and video.
Audio circuitry, Marantz’s strength for well over half a century, features an on-board 32-bit floating point SHARC processor for accurate
decoding of the latest high-bit digital formats. Each channel benefits from a 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converter. And the analog stages
themselves? They’re on three separate circuit boards – one for stereo, the other two devoted to multi-channel sources. Each benefits
from Marantz’s proprietary HDAM-SA2 modules instead of common low performance op-amps. These Hyper Dynamic Amplifier
Modules boast extraordinary slew rate and vanishingly low noise. And each output features closed-loop current feedback topology that,
when combined with HDAM’s advantages, presents the most detailed yet smoothest sound you’ll find in virtually any A/V source com-
ponent. The audio circuits are tuned with custom capacitors and draw their operating current from a dedicated EI-core transformer
for maximum isolation.
Video circuits are equally impressive and feature an Anchor Bay Video Reference processor. In addition to providing film-quality video
from Blu-ray discs, this powerhouse upscales DVDs with both motion-adaptive and edge-adaptive technology that individually scales
both horizontally and vertically to display images at 1080p resolution (through the HDMI output) at either 60 or a film-friendly 24
frames per second. MPEG noise reduction and the elimination of artifact-producing 3:2 pulldown mean you’ll enjoy startling image
quality regardless of the disc you choose. Even analog video takes a giant step forward with the 297 MHz/12-bit video A/D converters
for Component, S-, and Composite video viewing.
HDMI 1.3 capability gives you full access to 36-bit Deep Color video when available. Auto Lip Synch removes the distraction some
people experience by making sure that image and sound are in step with each other.
Yes, the UD8004 Universal Disc Player makes a singular case for upgrading your audio and video capabilities with a single component.
Whether used as a stand-alone player or integrated seamlessly into the most sophisticated custom-installed home theater system, the
Glo-key remote controller lets you access functions even in low-light situations. A discrete command set for On and Off, RC-5 remote
control terminals, an IR flasher input/output, and an RS-232C connection lets you choose whichever degree of operational
sophistication you need.
The UD8004. Extremely capable. Unmistakably Marantz.
