I am looking at purchasing a Marantz 7010, and was curious if anybody has any experience, or opinions on Marantz players? Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
No chroma bug, but the Mediamatics chipset has limitations when it comes to video-sourced material. As long as you watch primarily film material, you're getting the same great picture I am.
My experience with the DV-3100 has been great. Picture quality is sharp, with no imaging issues. Price was a little steep, but I haven't experienced any of the problems that a lot of players seem to have based on reports in the forum.
I have the 3100. Great video and audio reporoduction! Occasional freezes and skips on DVDs, though. It's a hassel, but happens only...maybe 5% of the time. This unit initially seemed to have some QC issues when it came out. Check the reviews on www.audioreview.com. Not sure if they've been worked out.
