Marantz M-ER803 Blu Ray Receiver System
Overview
Specifications
The Melody Movie is a high-quality Blu-ray receiver… and so much more. That’s because it entertains in so many ways. In addition to playing Blu-ray discs, it plays CDs and DVDs – with all the finest of details faithfully reproduced. You can also plug-in your iPod, or even your mobile phone or PC – via the optional Bluetooth connection RX101. Stereo FM/AM RDS? No problem, The Melody Movie is also a tuner. But most importantly, whatever the source, prepared to be fascinated, shocked and seduced. As a 2.1 BD Receiver you may want to connect just two loudspeakers directly, or with an additional subwoofer. As you’d expect, BD-picture quality is great, but also from DVDs, since Melody Movie up-scales them to 1080p HD resolution. Sound quality also gets the supreme treatment with a digital amplifier that delivers 2x 70W, and an advanced smart signal processing system. In addition, with Dolby Virtual Speakers, you can experience all-enveloping surround sound from just two speakers. This is big, big entertainment from a very compact and well-designed box.
1080P Upscaling
Upscaling is the process of converting a standard definition (SD) video signal to a seemingly high-definition (HD) video signal by using a video scalar. Upscaling does not convert standard definition video to true high definition video, but it does dramatically improve the detail and colour consistency of the picture, up to 1080p, the resolution possible for HDTV. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 lines and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or over two million pixels. On AV Receiver video conversion from analogue level to the digital level for output via HDMI offers ease of use and best digital picture quality for each source material.
BD-Live / Profile 2.0
This new Blu-ray Disc profile offers additional enjoyment to your current Blu-ray experience by enabling you to download additional movie content such as alternative endings and trailers. You can also buy merchandise, play interactive games and more. Before a player can handle this new profile it requires an Ethernet port for connection with the Internet and a minimum storage capacity of 1GB (by SD card) to accommodate the downloaded content.
Blu-Ray Disc
Blu-ray Disc, also referred to as BD-ROM, is the next-generation High Definition (HD) optical disc format. The format is developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of High Definition video and audio. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented high definition 1080p experience, providing an exhilarate life-like image and an audio soundtrack that is more detailed and clearer.
MP3
MP3 is a lossy compression algorithm is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio for most listeners. An MP3 file that is created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file that is about 11 times smaller than the CD file created from the original audio source
M-XPort
The Marantz eXtension Port is a dedicated 9-pin connector on the rear-side of a product. This port can be used for a wide variety of applications by connecting a dedicated device such as a network client, DAB tuner module, iPod dock, or others.
