The Marantz SR6003 is a forthcoming receiver which features DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD decoding, 1080p upscaling and a new design.

Marantz SR4002

The Marantz SR4002 is a 7.1 receiver features HDMI switching and PCM decoding for High Definition (HD) Audio from Blu-ray Discs.

Marantz ES7001

The Marantz ES7001 is a compact, virtual-surround system which boasts HDMI connectivity but is costlier than other solutions with more features.

Jamo A102HCS11

Its a good looking system, but sound integration is not as good as others in this class.

If you are installing a home automation system, undoubtedly the Philips Pronto TSU9600 is worth a look, but if you are simply after a universal remote to control just your TV and sound system, there are less sophisticated options.

Marantz DV7001

The Marantz DV7001 is a well-built, upscaling DVD player which will appeal to music and movie lovers alike.

Marantz DV6001

The Marantz DV6001 is one of the best DVD players available at this price -- it boasts both CD and DVD upscaling and comes in an attractively slim package to boot.

Marantz SR7001

Despite the refreshed numbering system, the Marantz is a slightly stodgy entrant into a very crowded marketplace. Its lack of features and high price could cause many to pass it over, and for music lovers this would be a shame.

Marantz VP11S1

The Marantz VP11S1 is currently the best 1080p one-chip DLP projector on the market, but it does come at a premium price point.

Marantz RC5400

Move on — nothing to see here ... plenty of other choices.
