High-quality workmanship in housing, noble in design and not rickety drawer. The device offers a lot of setting, and so far I could not identify a single stuttering during playback. Response time of the menus is fast enough. The reading and starting in both media is relatively fixed by equip. The Blu-ray player is running on a Marantz SR 7008 receiver via HDMI & RCA. Top image output via Phillips TV (3D LED 42 "). Image both Blu-ray as well as DVD. I think it's Blu-ray & DVD image slightly better than my Denon 2500 I have used previously. In itself setting I find is the 5007 picture quiet and has more depth of field.
But what I like best is the sound through HDMI. Other than the relationships I find convincing the very dynamic, clear sound at the output. Small vocal details are beautifully integrated, the separation of different acoustic levels achieved excellent & even the smallest nuances can now be even better places. The connection via RCA is to hear CDs in analog stereo also just brilliant - who needs this machine nor a separate CD player ;-) The disadvantages of Marantz UD5007 enumerated fast, no for me! The list of benefits, however, would hardly ends. An extremely sharp, vivid image in true colors in the Blu-ray operation, a first-class scaler and de-interlacer ensures pleasure in DVD playback in 1080p. The acoustic properties are excellent. The drive works reliably and very quiet. There remains the outstanding workmanship - it completes the impression that they are dealing with a real premium product - great performance on the Marantz department!
The device is easy to deliver only class picture and sound and met it with flying colors !!!
Conclusion: The 5007 Blu-ray player from Marantz convinced with brilliant qualities as a BD, DVD and CD player - a quiet, plastic and brilliant picture and very musical sound - for me an absolute buy recommendation !!!
