Marantz AV8003 Specification Guide

This THX UltraII-certified networking pre-amp/processor will maximise your source signals 

with absolute clarity and transparency. Whatever the source – Blu-Ray, DVD, CD and even the 

AV files from your PC and external storage streamed via the network. That’s because it is DL-

NA-certified. It decodes every format up to THX-EX, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True 

HD and of  course supports Deep Color and 24fps via four HDMI version 1.3a inputs and two 

outputs. Legacy designs get the HD treatment too, via video processing technology VRS from 

Anchor Bay with scaling up to 1080p. For total connectivity and flexibility, the AV8003 features 

eight balanced outputs for ultra-low noise connection to the power amp, and two balanced in-

puts to connect a high-end CD source. The power supply incorporates a Toroidal transformer 

and the copper-plated chassis to minimise interference. For total control, the system comes 

with a programmable, backlit LCD remote controller, as well as an additional handset  

supporting multiroom capability.
