Works great and plays all DIVX formats easily. Upconverts with a ton on menu options to tweak. Marantz quality and looks more expensive than it is. Very Happy with purchase.

After much research on upscaling dvd players I choose this one, got it onsale from onecall for around $80 and wow the sound and play are awesome I watch and listen to alot of movies and cds and have owned lots of players, this would be an amazing stand alone cd player, you can tweek bit conversions, and switch conversion rates for dvds. It plays everything Ive put in it, including vcds my computer wont even play. It is whisper quiet sturdy and stable and I have a feeling it is going to last a very long time.

For the price, this is an outstanding DVD player. I bought it to play Region 2 DVDs, and although the blurb on Amazon says it will play them straight out of the box, mine didn't. However, a quick web search gave me the hack code, and it now works as a region free player. Great picture, outstanding sound, and did I mention a great price? You can't go wrong.

I recommend the Marantz to anyone who likes movies, whether or not they want upscaling. Besides putting out superior picture and sound, the 4001 has accepted EVERY DVD I wanted to play, including several that my old Toshiba, Sony & Magnavox players reject (due to "Unknown Data," etc.). Only inconvenience is that the Marantz remote also turns on my Magnavox, even when it is clear across the room.

This was as advertised. I have a two year old upconvert model (different manufacturer) which cost three times as much. My old one does not compare in quality. This is a high quality item at a reasonable price.
