The DV4500 uses a top quality 54MHz/10-bit video digital/
analog converters for very high-quality picture reproduction.
The DV4500 in addition provides progressive scanning for PAL
material. Compared to a conventional interlaced picture,
progressive scanning creates a picture signal with double the
scan lines, resulting in a noticeably sharper image. The
progressive image offers higher picture resolution and
eliminates virtually all motion artifacts. Even on large screens,
the progressive scan lines are barely noticeable and picture
flickering is greatly reduced, so you can enjoy extended
viewing without eye fatigue. The progressive conversion of the
DV4500 is optimized for the high resolution and low noise of
the DVD-Video format for PAL software. This enables the unit
to preserve DVD-Video picture quality for display on all screen
sizes from direct-view CRT to projectors. Progressive Scan is
provided on the component output.
The DV4500 passes on any digital audio signal from a DVD-V
disc regardless the format and without any loss of information
High quality ""auditorium"" sound in the home, that's what's
offered by Dolby Digital! The Dolby Digital or AC-3 audio
information, is mixed by the Film studio and is added to the
video information as compressed digital information. Cinemas
all over the world are supporting the system and the Dolby
Digital audio information is added to the DVD-format as
standard. The format offers 5 fully independent high quality
channels and the sixth channel subwoofer information is
provided. Apart from the Dolby Digital information, DVD
software can also contain Digital Theater System (DTS) audio
information. The compressed digital information offers five
fully independent high quality channels together with a sixth
subwoofer channel. DTS offers superb life experience and
adds breathtaking effects to the film.

Logically if you consider that 10 hours of music easily will fit on
a single CD when the music is compressed using MP3 or WMA
technology. The Marantz DV4500 is able to playback such
encoded discs, giving you many hours of musical pleasure and
fine sound quality. DV4500 is equipped with MP3 and WMA
digital audio compression and JPEG digital video compression
decoders. Since this player supports DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW
formats, it will play DVD-R/RW discs recorded in DVD
recorders and other writers, and CD-R/RW discs containing
files in MP3, WMA or JPEG format recorded on a PC.

To optimize a Marantz system solution in terms of ease of use,
Marantz has designed the D-Bus system. Individual Marantz
devices equipped with this special bus system inform each
other in order to automatically tune to the customers demands.
Also received remote control commands are communicated via
this bus, throughout the Marantz system solution chain. This
enables equipment without IR-receiver, like a cassettedeck or
tuner, to be controlled via the receivers system remote control.
In combination with an simple external IR receiver, it's even
possible to control a fully hidden system.
