Marantz UD7006 (Black)

HD, 3D, and BD, indeed!

At last, high-definition and three-dimensional quality have combined in Marantz's universal disc player to play HD surround sound with 3D picture! Not only does Maratz's UD-7006 universal disc player present Blu-rays on your HDTV, but it plays traditional DVDs, (and they'll even look better than they would if you played them on your DVD player), so getting this universal player doesn't mean you have to ditch your DVD collection. Toss your DVD player and opt for a universal disc player that plays audio CDs with higher sound quality, Blu-ray discs that load twice as quickly as previous models, and your favorite DVDs in sharper quality. Better yet, the UD-7006 has built-in 1GB memory for the Bonus View and BD-Live features. Bonus View is basically picture-in-picture, which allows you to view different angles of the same scene, or allows a director to explain how a movie was filmed, so it requires a secondary audio/video decoder, which is included. Discs with BD-Live offer additional downloadable, streaming multimedia, or interactive Web content. The extra memory also helps to improve player responsiveness! Not to mention streaming options for Netflix and YouTube supported by the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5, which enables streaming capability of home network to showcase audio, video, and photo sources. DLNA 1.5 is a series of guidelines used by manufacturers of consumer electronics to allow entertainment devices within a home share media content with each other seamlessly across a home network. The UD-7006's DLNA support guarantees that their universal player can support different brands and different digital devices to make audio, video, and photos compatible for viewing or listening anywhere and anytime.
