The Pros:Audiophile quality audio output, clear and detailed that can compete with any other high-end equipment. Construction is hefty and heavy-duty, very well built. Wide compatibility with almost any type of disc format.
The Cons:Disk tray slams shut abruptly, need to be 100% sure that disk is sitting in there correctly. Takes awhile to load up a CD or DVD.

What separates this Blu-ray player from others is its unique triple-sectioned construction. The power supply, microprocessor array and analog circuitry are completely separated from each other. This engineering decision helps to prevent interference, allowing for the best image and sound quality the UD8004 can provide. A 32-bit SHARC processor takes care of high-def audio, while the Anchor Bay ABT2015 provides the video upscaling. In addition to a variety of analog outputs, HDMI 1.3 is fully integrated for 36-bit Deep Color support. The Marantz UD8004 comes in a reinforced aluminum enclosure in order to protect the device.
