Description
The Marantz AV8003 preamplifier/processor with network functionality is designed to get the best out of any Blu-Ray player. It decodes DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD. The latter, for example, offers 100 per cent lossless encoding, and supports up to eight speakers with full-range 24-bit/96 kHz audio. There is also support for Deep Colour and 24fps with four HDMI (version 1.3a) inputs and two outputs. Older systems can benefit from High Definition, as the AV8003 features Marantz first built-in video scaler for advanced video playback, with up-conversion and scaling to 1080p from all analogue and digital sources. And the THX Ultra-2 certified AV8003 goes even further: all video and music files stored on a computer or network receive the same HD treatment thanks to a built-in digital media player, which streams audio and video over a home network. The AV8003 can then distribute the media throughout the house, including High Definition video via HDMI for the room where movies are watched the most, component video for the second room, with independent audio capabilities for the third room. For total connectivity and flexibility, the AV8003 features balanced outputs for super low-noise connection to the power amplifier (even over long cables), balanced input for connecting a high-end CD player, RS-232c, direct IR input and DC triggers. An included programmable remote control with backlit LCD display, and a second remote control for use in another room complete the system. For easy installation and advanced performance, the AV8003 features HDMI 1.3 repeater functionality, with no signal loss and the ability to pass 1080p video signals from HDMI input to HDMI output. In addition, various audio signals can also be decoded via HDMI. To get the very best out of the amazing new Blu-Ray format, the AV8003 features a segmented power supply structure, with separate power supplies for each major audio section, and extensive internal shielding of key components to prevent electrical interference. There is also a Pure Direct mode, which turns off all unnecessary circuits and functions, such as the display. Such excellent attention to detail can also be seen in the all-metal, reference M1 design, with a double bottom plate and substantial shock-absorbing legs, which practically eliminate any vibrations affecting sound quality. The enclosure is even completely copper-plated against electrical interference. The result is a model with a pure, minimalist line that matches its pure sound.
