Input and Outputs
Features
Precision Drive Mechanism: The BD8002 features a unique drive mechanism to further protect the internal disc space from magnetic influences, dust and external noise by adding a shield to the bottom and top of the unit to create an ideal playback environment inside the unit. In addition, the Blu-ray player features an advanced loader design constructed with a combination of different material to ensure stable disc rotation and great accuracy in reading the disc.
Multi-Layered Chassis Design: For stable, accurate playback, the BD8002 employs multilayered construction to eliminate noise and vibration from the outside.

Hollywood Quality Video (HQV): The Marantz BD8002 incorporates an innovative Hollywood Quality Video Technology. HQV is a new benchmark standard of video excellence created through a partnership between Silicon Optix and Teranex that has recently received and Emmy award in 2007 for its video processing achievements. HQV represents the integration Teranex's broadcasting platform and software algorithms (refined over 1000,000 hours of content verification for the industry' highest level of quality) into Silicon Optix' Realta chip (the industry's first fully software programmable video array processor capable of performing over 1 trillion operation per seconds with an Image Fidelity Enhancement Engine and end-to-end true 10-bit image processing). These core technologies combine together to enable the simultaneous processing of dual high-definition image streams for home entertainment and professional video display products.
I/P Converter from Silicon Optix Inc: The BD8002 uses a 10-bit I/P converter called REALTA sxT2 HQV. This 10-bit processing offers high conversion performance and improves motion detection capability. Regularity in pixel-level patterns are rapidly and accurately detected not only in the 3:2 patterns of film sources but in other patterns as well during I/P (Interlaced/Progressive) conversion.
1080p Video Scaler: the same 10-bit video converter known as REALTA sxT2 HQV is also used as a video scaler and is capable of 720p, 1080i or 1080p output for HDMI.
Audio/Video D/A Converters: The BD8002 utilizes advanced 192kHz/24-bit D/A audio converters on all channels to provide 24-bit resolution and dynamic range in excess of 120 dB. In addition the BD8002 is equipped with a 297MHz/12-bit D/A video converter for exceptional video playback.

Blu-ray Disc Compatible: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a new high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 40 mbps. Blu-ray Discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:
Better picture quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 1080/24p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors.
Better sound quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and uncompressed 5.1 channel PCM
Much greater storage capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD.
Compatibility with your current disc collections: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.
Future Compatibility: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet.
Audio Formats: The Blu-ray player's HDMI and digital optical/coaxial outputs are capable of Multi-channel Surround playback, Multi-channel LPCM playback and Down-mixed 2-channel audio playback. The BD8002 supports the following Audio Formats depending on the unit's HDMI or digital output setting, disc type used and audio recording format of disc.
HDMI Output: The Marantz BD8002 Blu-ray player can output video and digital multi-audio signals via HDMI. When connected to a AV surround amps with an HD-format decoder, the BD8002's can be used to enjoy high-quality video and audio.
