Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this as a replacement for a NAD T742 that was plagued by quality issues. I will base me review as compared to the NAD.
The Marantz is much more feature rich. HDMI and Component video switching is something the NAD lacked. It has multiple surround modes that I will never use, but I'm sure someone might like them.The auto-setup feature took a few tries, but when it completed successfully everything looked, and sounded great.
For movies, I prefer the Marantz over the NAD. DTS tracks were awesome. Dialog was much more clear and stood out from the rest of the track well.
For music, I prefer the NAD. Like I mentioned earlier, I don't use the surround modes. So music was tested in stereo only. The Marantz was more clear, especially at low volume. However, the NAD gave a more live feel to the music and seemed to fill not only the room, but the whole house much better.
Overall, for the price, the Marantz is a supurb, feature rich, AV receiver. What it lacks in stereo reproduction it more than makes up for in it's surround sound performance.

Product Description:
OK, so you know the benefits of HDMI. That's the high definition audio/video (or "multi-media") interface that lets you connect a DVD player, for example, to a processor or receiver with just one cable. And then use just one more cable to get all that information to your TV screen. Think you'd like that convenience? And how about switching so you can select one or the other HDMI-equipped source without the hassle of changing multiple cables? The SR4002 has it. Not quite that far on the leading edge? Don't worry. Instead, think about the advantages of having assignable component video inputs. And S-video to component video upconversion so you can enjoy superb picture quality from almost any source. Yes, the SR4002 has them too. A second zone audio output so you can enjoy your favorite sources in a different area of your home. Well, to steal a phrase from a spaghetti sauce company, "It's in there." You'll also find Dolby Headphone, so you can enjoy a surround experience in private. Think of those late night TV broadcasts in surround sound. Now you can listen as loudly as you want without waking your neighbor. Or your baby. The infrared flasher input lets the SR4002 play nicely with other components in your system. And the backlit remote controller easily learns those other commands so it can converse intelligently with every citizen in your home entertainment world. In fact, everything you really need for a great system is in the SR4002.
