Marantz DV7600

Zitat: Pros: + Excellent audio performance + robust design Cons: - Slightly soft images - even with upscaling With such a wide disparity in price and specification it was always going to be tough to pick out a single winner, and for the purposes of this test the priority is how well the players perform at upscaling DVD content. Marantz´s DV7600, although a mighty fine player, didn´t give significantly better upscaling than its far cheaper rivals. However it´s worth remembering it´s very much a universal player, offering supreme audio performance along with exemplary build quality and features. Sharp´s DV-S97 is a real plucky contender and upscales well, although it perhaps lacks the necessary features to push it all the way to the top. Denon´s DVD-A1XVA is an unbelievably powerful machine and for performance, easily outshines the others in every respect. However, hand on heart we can´t say it´s enough to wholly justify the hefty price tag, and you´re also going to need some seriously high-end kit to get the best from it. Therefore, we´re giving Panasonic the top spot. Although obviously not class-leading in terms of raw power or performance, it offers excellent upscaling and throws in a couple of useful features that contribute to a great value all-round package.

Zitat: + sehr gute Bild- und Tonqualität - Fernbedienung etwas instabil Der Marantz DV 7600 besticht nicht nur mit seiner edlen Optik, sondern ebenfalls mit hervorragenden inneren Werten. Die Bild- und Tonqualität ist sehr gut. Als Multiformat-Player ist das Gerät beinahe für alle Medien geeignet und kann daher einen CD-Spieler ersetzen.
