Features
Disc Compatibility: The
Marantz CD5003 Single Disc CD Player can play CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.
CD-TEXT:
The Marantz CD5003
supports CD-Text information such as artist name and track titles. The CDs used
must also support CD-Text for this feature to work.
MP3/WMA Playback: The CD5003 supports MP3 and WMA files that have been
recorded onto CD-R or CD-RW discs.
CS4392 High-Performance D/A Converters: The CD5003 uses a
Super-Audio CD grade 192kHz/24-bit Cirrus
Logic CS4392 D/A converter to provide exceptional sound quality.
CD Playback Technology: During
CD play, the PCM signals recorded on the disc are oversampled to 128fs inside
the D/A converter and then processed by a combination of the dynamic element
matching (DEM) and multi-element switched capacitors to achieve playback
characterized by a high linearity.
HDAM (High Definition Amplifier Module): Marantz uses HDAMs instead of
standard op-amps, rendering a more dynamic sound and less susceptibility to
radiated noise, heat, and vibration. The unit uses an HDAM-SA2 for high speed
and high quality sound.
Aluminum Front Panel: The unit's front-panel combines the
structural advantages of extruded aluminum with the resonance absorption
characteristics of glass-reinforced resin.
Display On/Off Function: The CD5003 features a Dot Matrix
FL display . The "Display Off" function enables the main unit display to be
turned of. By turning off this display, the pulsive noise generated from the
display is reduced, thus eliminating its effects on the music signals.
Pitch Control: The "Pitch
Control" functions enables the play speed (pitch) to be varied over a +/-12
step. This feature is particularly useful for musical instrument practice
sessions. This function is only possible when playing back audio CDs only.
Audio EX Function: The Audio EX mode is provided in order for you to
enjoy high quality sound based on how you have connected the CD5003 to
your amplifier. There are three settings - Off (digital signal is only output
when the pitch control setting is 0), EX 1 (offers better overall sound), EX 2
(offers best sound from analog outputs).
Quick Replay Function: By a
single-action operation, the "Quick Replay" function enables play to be moved
back from the current play position to the time equivalent to the setting (range
of 5 to 60 seconds) and play to be resumed. This
function makes it possible to return to a part of the track that was just played
so it can be heard again. This functions is only possible when playing audio
CDs.
Gold Plated Outputs: The CD player features gold plated
outputs in order to offer the best connection for your system. The terminals are
chassis-mounted so they can take the strain of audiophile interconnects.
High Grade Headphone Circuit: The high-grade headphone circuit
incorporates a high-speed buffer amplifier to enable headphone listening of high
quality sound reproduction.
Wireless Remote Control: In addition the unit's from panel controls,
the single CD player comes supplied with a dedicated full-feature IR wireless remote control
for easy operation of the CD5003.
20 Track Music Calendar: A linear music calendar appears at the bottom
of the display, and lights up with the number of tracks on the currently
selected disc, up to 20. An "arrow" icon indicates the presence of 21 or more
tracks. After a track has been played, the number for that track disappears from
the calendar display. In addition, the tracks selected during Program Play
appear in the music calendar display, and disappear after they are played. This
Music Calendar is only available when playing back Audio CDs.
