It has the unique feature of dual HDMI outputs allowing you to transmit the A/V signal to two different displays or different audio and video signals. Being a universal Blu-ray Player it can handle playback of SACD, DVD-Audio, AVCHD, JPEG, MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and DIVX.

Finally it has RS-232 and IR ports and an exceptionally strong build quality.
THE CONS: This high-end Blu-ray Player does not have any Online Streaming Media Services. It does have a Ethernet Port to connect to the internet, however no wireless option. On board memory is very limited (only 1MB of internal memory). A SD Card will be needed for downloading BD-Live content. The UD9004 Blu-ray Player lacks USB Ports. Very costly, even for a High-end player.
THE FINAL WORD: The Marantz UD9004 has a price list of $5999.99. With that kind of price tag, this Blu-ray Player is clearly marketed for the high-end Audio/Video enthusiast. Those looking to use the UD9004 as their essential playback unit for both High Definition video and High Resolution Audio.
