I got the new Marantz 8002 for holidays

[bluewatergrigsby]

Got the Marantz 8002 Blu Ray a week before Christmas. Picture is awsome right out of box. All movies (BD) load and start playing within 30 seconds of loading.If any of you have seen the hard drive playing the seens of Italy on the Sonys on display at Circuit City and HH Gregg and stood there in amazement this is what I am seeing on the Marantz. Hancock, 10,000 B.C., Bucket List, Iron Man, No Reservations, Saraha,all load and play with absolute life like clarity. After eight months of research I think I've found the one.

I was seriously think about Marantz as a blu-ray player
I hope i can say the same after Picking up my Yamaha BD-2900

Belive me i was looking at Marantz and Pioneer . One of the biggest reason i pick the yamaha player is because of the reciever i own

Do you own a Marantz Reciever?

I have a Marantz Receiver but I looked hard at the Denon, Sony ES and Yamaha. I bought the Marantz because of the build quality, the Realta chip and the three year warranty. Marantz has been around a long time and always put out great products.

The Realts chip? can you explain this please.What does this chip do for your player? Is the Marantz the only player that uses the Realts chip.

THANK YOU

By the way,3 year warranty.Awesome

I'm using the Wireworld Ultra Violet. Some say its a little pricey but the picture is awsome.

The Realta chip is the same chip they use in the Hollywood film projectors. It reads the picture just as it was recorded. The only two players that are licened to have it are the Marantz and Denon.
