May seem expensive

A brilliant DVD player that justifies its price with a sublime performance with DVD and multi-channel audio sources

Superior construction. Excellent sound and vision. Faroudja upscaling to 1080p.

On the pricey side. Few extra features on the DV6001. Older version of HDMI.

The Marantz DV7001 is a well-built, upscaling DVD player which will appeal to music and movie lovers alike

Excellent CD, SACD, and DVD-A playback; Scaling up to 1080p

Rudimentary GUI; HDMI 1.1 (Not 1.3)

Good picture and sound

Nothing specially

build quality (get a clue oppo), no grainy pictures (unlike denons 1080p), realiability and 3 year warranty that actually covers the player (unlike toshiba whose player lasted 3 mos, and asked for $60 to repair their unit under the warranty, thanks...

even if the other companies stepped up. Marantz would (I bet anyways) jump ahead of them. They actually care if you are satisfied (30 day auditions). Only negative is lack of real competitors (Marantz seems to be competing with line up)

Looks ; Impressive sound quality ; Video quality ; Reads everything I've put into it

HDMI Upscaling output only at 60 hz
