The Denon S-5BD is a Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Player, complete with 1080p/24p video output, DVD video scaling up to 1080p, plus network interconnectivity and advanced interactivity with BD-Live to a receiver with convenient front-panel HDMI (3 inputs/1 output, all certified for HDMI 1.4) and SD card inputs, as well as iPod direct connectivity via the USB port (with connectivity for Denons Networked Control Dock for iPod as well). This is one of the first devices we have seen released with the new HDMI 1.4 spec ports. The aesthetics of the Denon S-5BD are beyond reproach with front center readout that will be very familiar to Denon users. We have always appreciated how the Denon units show not only the speakers being outputted to, but what the incoming signal is carrying. The disc tray is located just below the display with the power button on the left and the volume knob on the right. As a huge departure from what we expect in a receiver these days, Denon has opted to hide the extra ports on the front corners behind retractable covers. This gives the unit a very high tech and futuristic look. Manual controls for Blu-ray player are on the top right edge of the S-5BD. As you would expect from Denon, the S-5BD is packed with all the latest technology. Aside from the HDMI 1.4 ports already mentioned the S-5BD includes support of Dolby Pro Logic IIz front height effects channels (you'll need to use the pre-outs for the surround back speakers for this feature). Onboard decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is practically a given these days and it would make no sense for an integrated unit like the S-5BD not to have it. Denons AL24 Processing, a high-grade analog waveform reproduction technology that, according to Denon, dramatically enhances the music listening experience by improving the players ability to reproduce moments when music quietly fades away or starts following complete silence is included as well. Of course, the guts of the S-5BD integrated are all up to Denon's exacting standards. These days it almost would not be a Denon receiver without Audyssey and the S-5BD is no different. No mid-tier Audyssey for the S-5BD, the unit sports the near top of the line MultEQ featuring Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. While we have had mixed results with the Dynamic EQ, it is necessary for the Dynamic Volume - a system that keeps volume constant over time. This is the perfect solution for late night viewing or just for those that hate how commercials will peak 10dB louder than the show.

How do you improve a \What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision?\ award-winner? Easy: just continue the same painstaking philosophy of product dedication, keep even the tiniest of details at the top of mind, do everything possible to optimize mechanism and potent power supply, insist on premium digital-to-analogue conversion with CS4398, and ensure a mirrored symmetrical output stage with Marantz-own HDAM-SA2 amplifiers. And when all that is done, check it all again and fine-tune with even more specially selected components. We also added a solid metal bottom-plate and centralised the CD mechanism's location. That is how, for example, we virtually eliminated vibration. In addition, the stable, oversized power supply feeds the digital and analogue circuitry of the player, where the high-quality CS4398 converts digital signals to analogue, this is then 'pushed' to the gold-plated synch outputs by Marantz's own small signal amplifier, the HDAM-SA2. Altogether the CD6004 is a match made in heaven for the music lover who wants nothing but the best performance at an attractive price. And one more thing its also perfect for lovers of portable music, thanks to its iPod-digital connectivity. <b>Customized Components</b> On paper an electrical component might look excellent but the result may fall short of the combined design expectations. Marantz selects the appropriate components for the specific design application. In some cases it's simply not possible to use standard components that meet the high Marantz standards. These components will then be specially made for Marantz in close cooperation with the Marantz engineers. <b>HDAM SA2</b> Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards to replace standard IC's. These HDAM's consists of discrete surface mount components with short mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate and reduced noise level, resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years Marantz developed different types of the HDAM to improve quality and to fit to the special requirements of a product category like CD or amplifier. <b>MP3</b> 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. <b>Symmetrical Circuit Layout</b> To achieve the best possible sonic performance, signal paths need to be short, direct and mirror imaged. The construction of our circuitry provides improved stereo imaging by ensuring close to perfect symmetry between right and left channel layout. <b>System Remote</b> Remote capable to control the amplifier or receiver as well as connected source products from Marantz. <b>USB Audio</b> USB Audio makes it possible to listen to compressed audio files (MP3, Windows Media Audio, etc.) stored on MP3 players or external harddiscs. All Marantz USB enabled products make use of the USB 2.0 profile for fast and stable data transfer.

When \What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision?\ gave our PM6003 the \Best amplifier in its class\ award, the performance bar was well and truly raised for its successor: the PM6004. Fortunately, Marantz design engineers enjoy nothing better than a real challenge. And they seized this upgrade opportunity to further improve this already excellent amplifier by refining the sound and optimising the balance from Bass to Mid to Highs for a performance full of harmony. The strategic difference is that now both the pre-amplification and power amplification sections exclusively feature discrete components not a single IC in sight. Specially selected single components not only outperform ICs in quality, they also make it possible to refine the sound in much more detail, resulting in more clarity and transparency in the sound stage. Of course the lower impedance Toroidal transformer with case-shield has been retained, so too has the customized main capacitors, and the potential power transistor which is mounted on the extruded aluminium heat sink and can easily handle higher currents to keep close control of speakers. All of this proven, superior technology has been retained. And of course all of the original features - such as six-line audio input including phono, two-pairs of gold-plated speaker connections with the convenience of bi-wiring, and a remote handset - are still there. All that's now required is a lover of music. <b>A-B</b> Speaker A/B for the connection of two pair of speakers at the same time. They can run single as A or B, but as well as A+B at the same time. <b>Current Feedback</b> Current Feedback amplification is a well known, Marantz' original circuit technology. The Current Feedback amplifier technology fits perfectly with the high requirements set for Super Audio software providing wide-bandwidth, high-speed reproduction. The impedance at the Current Feedback point is limited resulting in a very low phase shift. Marantz receivers and amplifiers equipped with Current Feedback can keep the phase compensation via Negative FeedBack (NFB) to a minimum, resulting in high through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency for the full bandwidth. Unlike conventional Voltage Feedback amplification, the Current Feedback amplification makes the power amplifier in-sensitive to difficult loudspeaker loads. <b>Customized Components</b> On paper an electrical component might look excellent but the result may fall short of the combined design expectations. Marantz selects the appropriate components for the specific design application. In some cases it's simply not possible to use standard components that meet the high Marantz standards. These components will then be specially made for Marantz in close cooperation with the Marantz engineers. <b>D-Bus</b> To optimize equipment in terms of ease of use, Marantz has designed the D-Bus system. Received remote control commands are communicated via this bus. This enables equipment without IR-receiver like tuners or hidden system together with an external IR eye to be controlled via the bypacked Marantz System Remote Controller. <b>Shottky Diodes</b> A Shottky diode is a special type of diode with a very low forward-voltage drop compared to normal diodes. This lower voltage drop translates into higher system efficiency. Shottky diodes have very fast signal handling, can easily stay higher temperatures and are sensitive very low voltages. <b>Symmetrical Circuit Layout</b> To achieve the best possible sonic performance, signal paths need to be short, direct and mirror imaged. The construction of our circuitry provides improved stereo imaging by ensuring close to perfect symmetry between right and left channel layout. <b>Toroidal Transformer</b> Toroidal transformer has several advantages over a normal EI core transformer. It is very efficient and therefore delivers more power compared to the same size of an EI core transformer. In addition, due to its shape, the electromagnetic radiation and the mechanical vibration are extremely low all ending in a better sound quality.
