The Flatscreen Experience

Marantz plasma monitors do two things extraordinarily well. First, they are superb examples of the finest flat screen
technology you can enjoy in your home. Second and perhaps even more importantly, they symbolize – in the most
concrete way possible – Marantz’s continuing dedication to complement the legendary performance of our audio
components with the finest in video-based home entertainment.

Each widescreen monitor combines impressive design and benchmark technologies in a seamless blend to expand your
viewing pleasure. The Marantz reference-grade image begins with a proprietary high-contrast glass screen that benefits
from an advanced anti-reflective coating. Internal circuitry includes the best color filters and processing to virtually
eliminate the jagged edges and color bleeding that often mar other plasma displays. There’s even special circuitry and
high quality phosphors to safeguard the screen from image retention artifacts. Every Marantz plasma display
accommodates an almost-astonishing array of video sources. The internal scaler transparently matches source and
screen characteristics for unsurpassed clarity, contrast, and color purity.

Ready to illuminate your home with the finest images from all of your favorite sources, the Marantz plasma monitors
provide an ideal solution for any home entertainment and multimedia application. The slim and stylish bezels combine
sophisticated aesthetics and easy installation. Thanks to internal amplifiers, these plasma monitors are waiting for you
to add complementary speakers. Or you can connect the audio outputs of your favorite multi-media sources to a Marantz
surround receiver for sound that’s as authoritative as the images you’ll see.

In short, our plasma monitors simply extend more than a half-century of commitment and expertise into the video age.
We are proud to present them for your consideration.

Project a Better Image

or several years now, Marantz has set the standards for video quality and
accuracy in the world of consumer digital front projection. The VP-12
series has rapidly become a legend and has now made a quantum leap in

picture quality and flexibility. For 2005, the VP-12S4 has a new video
processing section, the first of its kind, and offers a level of deinterlacing and
scaling of even high definition sources that was previously reserved for
processors that cost as much as some folks’ entire systems. This new chip was

co-developed by Marantz and a company called Gennum

and promises

to have everyone else scrambling to play catch up. In addition

there are now three Minolta-Konica lens options in the VP-

12S4 for unmatched flexibility. But let’s not forget about

the VP-10S1, a projector for the ultimate home

theater designed using the same 3-chip DLP

technology which was formerly reserved

exclusively for digital cinema. Reduced in

size and weight and customized for the

home environment, this flagship

DLP

projector offers the same rich

detailed image as the VP-12S4, but

with even better smoothness and

color accuracy, along with

enough light output to

effectively illuminate even the

largest of screens. By

eliminating the color wheel

and incorporating the best

Faroudja processing, the VP-

10S1's picture is further

improved by providing

smooth, flicker free motion

while preserving all of the

detail present in the original

source. With multiple lens

options and both vertical and

horizontal lens shift, the VP-

10S1 is very flexible with regard to

installation. All of the adjustments

can be made in the dark due to its

redesigned ergonomically friendly

backlit remote control. Now that we have

the two best DLP

front projectors, Marantz

can easily satisfy the needs of the most

discriminating video customer, regardless of price.
