... problem I do blame Marantz for though. The damn layer change. When I owned my Wharfedale I never noticed a layer change. Not once. Never. This 4100 like to make the change as apparent as possible. Why can’t the top manufacturers overcome this problem when my far-eastern cheapie had no problems with it? Apart from these two niggles, I’ve never been happier with an upgraded item of AV hardware since I moved from Pro Logic to Dolby Digital. Worth every one of the 370,000 pennies I paid for it, (...more

I’ve been living with my 4100 OSE for around 6 months now and I’ve learnt 2 things. One is that this is a wonderful item of home entertainment and that perfection is so narrowly avoided by silly problems. But to start, why did I buy an OSE when I already had a DVD player, a Wharfedale 750 to be precise. Well, call me shallow, but the 750 was an ugly bit of kit. Plus, reds always seemed to appear blocky on screen. Finally, and possibly most importantly, I wanted to rid myself of the poor Technics CD player I was using for music and replace it with a single box solution. So, having trawled through the magazines, clicked on the websites and ... Read the complete review

And what a DVD player this special edition is. Impressive since the day I got it! I'd suggest another category for the Marantz 4100 OSE edition, but you'll see by the end, it's not worth it. Why did I get this DVD Player? ------------------------------ 1) DVD player please OK, so it would have been much cheaper to have got a DVD drive and plugged it into my PC, like a lot of people do. What I wanted was a little bit more though. I didn't want people to come around and huddle next to my PC in my room. I wanted people to be able to watch with a bigger TV and a nicer stereo, which I already have in the front room. 2) ... Read the complete review

I have recently purchased a Marantz DVD player, the 4100OSE (Original Second Edition) This is my first ?true? dedicated dvd player until now I have watched dvd?s on my PS2 or on my home computer. The Marantz delivers a superior picture to the PS2 and I couldn?t connect my PC to my television so I can?t really say if it is of superior quality but I can say it?s a lot more pleasing on the eye watching on a full size screen compared to a 17? monitor!!! What I like most about the Marantz is the fact that it has 2 scart sockets on the rear and has built in RGB pass-through. This means that if you have an older television that has only one scart socket then you ... Read the complete review
