Marantz has been a strong and continued supporter of multichannel high-resolution audio sources like DVD-Audio and SACD, and its new, low-cost DV6001 universal player continues this trend.

Replacing the DV6600, it sports a number of video-related enhancements, including DVD scaling up to 1080p, the pinnacle of what can currently be achieved through HDMI links.
