Smooth and Realistic Image Quality
The Marantz VC5200 delivers the ultimate in video 
quality, thanks to its progressive scan component video 
output, true 3:2 pulldown detection and advanced 
digital video processing circuitry. When connected to a 
480p progressive scan-compatible TV or display device, 
scan lines are eliminated for remarkably realistic image 
quality, with spectacular resolution, clarity and color 
accuracy. In addition, the VC5200’s 3:2 pulldown 
detection provides the best-possible reproduction of 
film-based DVD-Video discs, by correctly detecting and 
decoding the 24 frames-per-second of film content that 
are transferred to the 30 frames-per-second required for 
video playback. The result, when viewed on a 
progressive scan video display, is smoother, more 
natural moving images. This state-of-the-art display 
capability is further enhanced by high-performance 
digital video technologies, such as 10-bit video D/A 
conversion with 27MHz filtering, along with premium 
optics and a precision changer mechanism.
Exceptional Audio Resolution and Dynamic Range
Complementing its unparalleled video reproduction, 
the Marantz VC5200 is engineered for high-end audio 
performance, featuring 96kHz/24-bit audio D/A 
converters, with true 96/24 digital audio output for 
exceptional resolution and dynamic range. Extensive 
research in the performance and construction of 
electronic component selection characterize the 
musical detail, imaging and tonal accuracy Marantz is 
famous for. 
Multi-Functional Convenience
The VC5200 features a six-step zoom control with 
maximum 16x magnification, extensive navigation and 
picture search modes. It offers a 5-disc CD random play 
operation (3 modes), 3D surround sound, delivering a 
surround sound effect from just two stereo speakers 
and includes Dolby Digital
®
and DTS®surround sound 
compatibility. All functions can be easily controlled via 
its multi-language on-screen menu, remote control and 
intuitive front-panel control layout. The VC5200 is also 
compatible with CD-R, CD-RW, Video CD discs and 
music playback from a single MP3-encoded CD disc,
which delivers up to 10 hours of 
continuous music. The VC5200 
includes component video, S-video 
and composite video outputs, along 
with optical and coaxial digital, and 
analog audio outputs. Experience
