Cinema Experience are pleased to offer the Marantz range of products, including the amazing new AV8003 and MM8003 home cinema audio processor and amplifier.

Below is a selection of some of the high quality Marantz products that we are able to supply:

AV Processor: AV8003
THX Ultra 2 certified AV pre-amplifier processor .
Price: £POA

The Marantz AV8003 networking pre-amp/processor is built to bring the very best out of any Blu-Ray player as well as conventional DVD and CD-players. It decodes DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD, supporting up to eight full-range speakers of 24-bit/96 kHz audio. There's also support for Deep Color and 24fps with four HDMI version 1.3a inputs and two outputs. Legacy designs get the High Definition treatment too, with the AV8003 incorporating Marantz's first built-in video scaler from Anchor Bay for enhanced video performance, with upconversion and scaling to 1080p from all analogue and digital sources.

The THX Ultra2-certified AV8003 goes even further: movie and music files stored on a PC or network get the same HD treatment thanks to a built-in digital media player which streams audio and video content throughout a networked home. The AV8003 can then fire this all over the home, including high definition video via HDMI for the main viewing room, component video to the second room, with third room independent audio capability. Even your digital audio in MP3, WAV or AAC format will sound as originally recorded thanks to the build-in Marantz Digital Audio Expander. The Digital Audio Expander, also called MDAX, recalculates the outputted frequency range of any audio signal and expands it over a broader frequency range. This enables you to get detailed and clearer sound even out of compressed audio files.

For total connectivity and flexibility, the AV8003 features eight balanced outputs for ultra low noise connection to the power amp (even over long cable runs), two balanced inputs to connect a high-end CD source, RS-232c, direct IR inputs and DC triggers.

Completing the package is a programmable, backlit LCD remote control, as well as an additional handset for second room use.

Such outstanding attention to detail continues with the metal, reference-standard M1 chassis, which employs a heavy bottom plate to virtually eliminate sound-degrading vibration. The case is even completely copper-plated for perfect grounding and to guard against electrical interference. The result is a model delivering clean, minimalist lines to match its pure sound.

  • THX Ultra 2 certified AV pre-amplifier
  • Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD
  • M-DAX for compressed audio (MP3, WMA, iPod)
  • Network streaming for audio and video (supporting DLNA).
  • HDMI Version 1.3a: 4in / 2out
  • Video scaler up to 1080p
  • Auto Lip sync
  • XLR audio inputs for SACD Player
  • XLR Pre Output Terminals
  • Copper plated chassis
  • Toroidal Transformer
  • Multi-room/multi-source
  • Including RC2001 PC programmable remote control unit

Amplifier: MM8003
Eight channel power amplifier.
Price: £POA

The perfect partner for the AV8003, the new Marantz' ultimate-quality audio and video entertainment hub, is the MM8003. MM8003 has a massive high-current, audiophile-grade, oversized toroidal power transformer, which delivers a conservatively estimated 150 Watts to each of the eight channels. This works alongside custom filter capacitors, high grade audio components throughout, extensive shielding of key components, and ultra-wide bandwidth current feedback technology. The latter amplification system was originally developed for Super Audio CD signals and is ideal for the new DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD formats. The result of all this technology is an unerringly accurate tonal and image balance, allied to speed and dynamics with very low distortion.

Combining with this great sound is outstanding flexibility, such as eight channels, balanced input terminals, output channel relay on/off control and a slow start to power-on function. The MM8003 is built on a rigid full metal chassis which virtually eliminates any sound degrading vibration. Again, this is completely copper-plated delivering perfect grounding and guards against electrical interference.

  • Eight channel power amplifier delivering 140Watts (8 ohms)
  • Low impedance continuous drive capability at 4 ohms
  • New solid reference standard design
  • Current feedback amplifier circuit for fast and accurate signal handling
  • Marantz-designed storage capacitors for quick response to rapidly varying sources
  • Huge shielded toroidal transformer for instant current delivery capability
  • Rigid copper plated chassis for lowest impedance grounding at any point
  • Large aluminum extrusion heat sinks
  • Clever cooling system
  • Gold plated speaker terminals
  • DC trigger control inputs, DC power status outputs and IR Flasher input terminals for system integration
  • Slow start to Power on
  • Detachable power cord
  • Output channel relay On/Off; 8 speaker terminals can be split in 4x 2output relays controllable by remote signal (for multi zone use)
  • Matching AV8003 pre-amplifier

VP-11S2 1080p DLP® Projector
Price: POA

Marantz presents the World's first DLP® .95", 1080p DarkChip® 4 single chip projector.

The VP-11S2 also feature the leading-edge Texas Instruments DC4 chip, which boasts increased brightness and significantly higher contrast than the current DLP chip sets. The VP-11S2 is capable of delivering image quality previously unavailable in anything but the highest-priced professional projectors, including full uncompressed HDTV 1920x1080 pixel resolution for incredibly realistic, detailed and lifelike images - virtually indistinguishable from film quality.

In addition to its Texas Instruments DC4 hand-selected chipset, the VP-11S2 features HDMI 1.3 inputs with Deep ColorT capability and also includes the Gennum GF9351, a completely programmablevideo processor that can do calculations on the order of 500 million floating point operations per second. It features both standard and long-throw lens options.

From RS-232C and DC Triggers to a wide range of lens shift capabilities, to its vertical stretch mode, the VP-11S2 joins the Marantz lineup of the most flexible projectors available." Ideal for Custom Installations The VP-11S2 is designed for maximum installation ease and compatibility with all types ofcomponents and home entertainment systems. In addition to its HDMI 1.3 input, the VP-11S2 provides HD component video, S-video, composite video and analog RGB connections.

It has a vertical lens shift which allows for the projector to reside at locations well above the top of the screen, which makes for extremely easy integration into even the most difficult installation environments. For integratedoperation in a custom installation, the projector includes remote in/out connections, RS-232C serial control ports and two DC trigger connections that can trigger two independent operations. This allows the projector to reconfigure a dual-aspect ratio projection screen whenever the aspect ratio of the program source changes from 16:9 to 4:3 or from 16:9 to 2:35.

In order to enhance its functionality in many different home entertainment setups, the VP-11S2 provides users with two lens options, a mechanical lens shift that allows mounting above the screen, full RS-232 control and more. Adding to its custom installation flexibility, the VP-11S2 features a comprehensive onscreen menu system that enables easy setup, yet provides extensive calibration facilities including a wide range of color temperature and gamma adjustments.

Razor-Sharp Images, Plus Unique Color Capabilities The VP-11S2 features the die-cast aluminum chassis of Marantz' acclaimed VP-12 series, coupled with the latest in hand-selected custom fully sealed 13 element all-glass optics from Konica-Minolta.

In addition, the customized color filters are optimized to match the spectral characteristics of the industry's only 200 Watt DC SuperHighPressure lamp assembly. This assures that not only will the picture be razor sharp and evenly illuminated, but the colors will be accurate, pure and fully saturated for breathtaking realism.

In addition to having new color filters, the color wheel itself spins at an astounding 10,800 RPM which correlates to a color frame rate of 6x, drastically reducing the possibility of image-degrading color breakup (rainbow effect or RBE). To ensure quiet operation of the fast-spinning color wheel, the VP-11S2 features a specially designed Quiet Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor, borrowed from Hard Disc Drive (HDD) technology, for virtually silent and reliable operation.
