Amazon.com Product Description
Combining both disc and memory card capability, the Marantz BD7004 Universal Blu-ray Disc Player reads virtually every popular disc format available today: Blu-ray (both commercial releases and recordable discs), DVDs (movies and DVD-R/RWs), as well as standard and recordable CDs. It also includes Secure Digital (SD and SDHC) memory card reader, and the player can also handle DivX and AVCHD video files. 
The Marantz BD7004 is compatible with Blu-ray discs as well as both DVD and CD media plus DivX and AVCHD video files (see larger image). | 
It includes an HDMI output plus audio connections for 7.1-channel surround sound (see larger image). | The BD7004 features an advanced Anchor Bay video processor--part of the company's Video Reference Series--which combines exclusive circuits like Progressive ReProcessing (PReP), Precision Video Scaling, Precision Deinterlacing, RightRate, AutoCUE-C, Precision AV LipSync, Fine Detail & Edge Enhancement, and Mosquito Noise Reduction. Audio capabilities include internal decoding for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. With the embedded BD Live Profile 2.0 specification, you can access additional content from the Internet when connected via the Ethernet networking port. The sleek 3.5-inch contoured front panel combines both aluminum and reinforced resin composite to dampen resonance and blend with virtually any decor. A second metal plate reinforces the player's top cover for increased vibration control, and the centrally located disc mechanism places the critical disc-laser interface in the middle of the chassis to minimize the kind of artifacts that could impact both audio and video quality. Controlling the BD7004 is easy with the included handheld remote control and a rear panel RS-232 jack that can be used with optional advanced touch-screen control systems.

Marantz 7004 review June 23, 2010

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have to say that this is a quality player for high fi nuts like me. I got my player for $600.00. Usually going for $800.00. This is the player I chose after a month of looking at all players out there. It was this or the Oppo BDP83. Marantz with the 3 yr warranty is just awsome. Sound is top notch. I use the analog outputs to my receiver because I don't have the new HD audio formats yet in my receiver. The manual and setup is laid out nice. Easy to fallow. I would recomend this player for sure to anyone who doesnt need wi-fi and that extra stuff on your player. If you want quality and good picture and sound buy this player.

The mid to higher end Blu Ray Player landscape was dramatically changed by the $500 Oppo. It matched performance and value in a wonderful package. That said, there remain some players that offer higher quality audio (via analogues) and a bit more style and panache, namely the Denon DBP-2010CI and its Marantz cousin the BD7004.
The Marantz is a very stylish player with a curved fascia that stands out amongst many rectangular players with little focus on design. It is a heavy, solid player sits a bit taller than most. From a build perspective, height does provide a bit more room for spatial layout and possibly avoids heat accomodating a smaller area.
The player is responsive, but not outstandingly fast. Powered off eject times are roughly 13-15 seconds and non-java and java-light discs load in 20 to 40 seconds. Heavy Java discs around 1 minute.
The player is profile 2.0 for internet-based special features, which creates a spandrel in making firmware updates easy via the internet.
Although the player is nearly identical to the Denon DBP-2010CI, I have found the Marantz BD7004 to be devoid of any weird handshake issues that caused brief green flashes at power up.
DVD upscaling is top notch with the ABT VRS scaling chip. I would venture to say that it is 98% of the Oppo's performance for normal content. The Oppo's chip (ABT 2010) is a bit better at recognizing obscure film cadences used in animation and anime, but the ABT 1030 chip in the 7004 does an exceptional job at detail reproduction, color accuracy, and motion. The menus allow for detail PQ tweaking including NR, gamma, brightness and contrast (the menu gui is a bit dated). BD playback is excellent.
The player gains a competitive advantage in audio performance. The 7.1 CH analogue output is terrific and has speaker settings and distances, but does not allow one to set the crossover annoyingly. The DACs are tremendous and deliver very clean and warm sound.
This player is truly a worthy competitor to the Oppo when you factor in the three year warranty and RS 232, but push your local dealer for a more realistic price.
