Strength:

Picture and Sound quality

Weakness:

none

When looking for a progressive scan DVD player I was amazed at the picture quality and the sound this DVD player performs at. It really produces a crystal clear picture on my Mitsubishi WS 65809 65" Wide Screen TV. I have had to take it back to dealer once for a software update. I had one DVD that it would not play from Block Buster Video. I would highly recommend this player!

Strength:

picture and audio built like a tank

I ve used this unit for almost a year and a half and everything I throw at it runs flawlessly. I know that it doesnt have the latest capabilities of SACD and DVDA playback. But all things considered I would challenge anyone to find a better sounding or video/picture quality dvd player. The picture is incredibly sharp and crisp. Its makes every dvd a better and a fuller experience. I sincerely hope the next dvd player I purchase will be able to match this unit in quality.

Strength:

Amazing sound!!! Great progressive scan output through the component outs. Great looking unit as well.

Weakness:

Poor MP3 playback menu (who cares? I'm not using my $10,000 home theater to play MP3's) Requires GOOD interconnects to really shine. (not really a weakness)

I tried this unit to appease one of my co-workers. I was dead set on the Sony DVP-NS755v, a progressive scan, SACD player. To my suprise this unit is amazing! What really stands out is the audio. From Dolby Digital and DTS to 2ch CD, this unit is top notch. I heard movies like never before. The video cut off during CD play is also superb. Figuring this is a Marantz and audio is their forte', I wasn't expecting much on the video end. Once again, to my surprise, the video is excellent as well! This unit blew the Sony away in almost every test I used. Once you calibrate your TV to it, there's no turning back, amazing. I'm running this unit on progressive scan through the component outputs.

Strength:

Fantastic sound, sharp & Bright picture

Weakness:

Slight Artefact in darker scenes

I was blown away by the sound when I took it home for a trial. I was looking for an upgrade over my Toshiba SD1200. At first, the brighter picture gave me the impression that everything was much sharper, but I noticed that it was overly bright when certain colors seemed washed out. Slight Artefacts were also noticeable in darker scenes...probably exacerbated by the overly bright setting. The brightness level may not be a problem for some because much much more detail is revealed...you notice things in a movie you have never noticed before. Its a personal thing, neither bad nor good. The sound quality is first class...as good as the Toshiba 900E flagship that I have. For the first time, I heard the grandfather clock "Legend's of the Fall" ticking in the house...extremely precise stuff !!

Strength:

excellent audio and video characteristics,great build quality

Weakness:

none as of yet

I previously used a Panasonic rv30, and to say the least the dv6200X is a radical step forward. As in the previous reviews I also compared this unit to a denon dvd1600 (same price range), and I had several guests in the viewing room (other shoppers). Switching back and forth between the marantz dv6200X and the denon dvd1600 using a five minute sequence in the opening of gladiator and when all was completed 4 out of 5 people in the room voted the marantz dv6200X the hands down winner in both audio and video quality, with the other voter being undecided. This made my choice all the easier. When I hooked it up to my television using the component outputs and the optical output for audio to my a/v reciever, to put it mildly, I was truly amazed and impressed. The picture quality is second to none and the audio range is wonderful. The fit and finish of the unit is also excellent, a professional piece of work. The remote is a decent unit as well, with many functions and easily useable

Strength:

Outstanding picture and audio quality

Weakness:

none as of yet

I was looking for a progresive scan dvd player of decent quality, that would last and perform well for the years to come. I am familar with the build quality of Marantz but I was also tempted by Denon (dvd1600). The features of the Denon unit are amazing to say the least (only a $75 diffence in price). But when it came down to personal viewing and watching the exact same dvd, 20 minute portion, I came away purchasing the Marantz 6200. The Marantz picture and audio quality appeared to be slightly better. I will not be using it to listen to mp3''s and the quailty of sound and picture are very important to me, and the DV6200 really showed its strength.

Strength:

Plays everything I throw at it Great picture and sound

Weakness:

slow loading noticable layer change pause

I am very impressed with this unit. Although at the moment I am not taking advantage of the progressive capabilities, I couldn''t be happier with the picture and sound. My goal when I bought this was that it would play all dvd titles without problem, which my old Yamaha had numerous. Improvements can be made in disk loading and layer change however. Very satisfied.

Strength:

-qaulity of sound, is excellent -qaulity of picture is execellent (if you take no notice of the changing of the layers with DVD''s) -sufficient connections

Weakness:

-crappy, plastic CD/DVD tray... looks cheap compared to the /metal/aluminium front -poor changing of layers with DVD''s -slow initialising

The qaulity of sound is excellent. I use it together with the SR-6200 and Mordaunt-Short 908 and 904 speakers. (and 905 center). The only 2 issues (minors) are; -the changing of the dvd-layer does NOT go un-noticed. The sound and display show a short glitch/freeze. -The player is quitte slow in initialising and changing of CD''s... it takes (to) long...

Strength:

Simple looks, sharp picture, very functional remote, reasonable price

Weakness:

None at this time

Purchased this dvd player a few weeks ago and could not be happier! The picture is laser sharp and the this unit has multiple options. Moved up from the Panasonic RP56 progressive scan and the results are great. Debated between NAD and DENON but chose this one. At this time, NAD only offers a 5 disc player with progressive scan and too much money and Denon seemed a bit cheaper in the build. My system includes: Panasonic CT-HX41 HDTV Monitior Marantz SR-6200 A/V Receiver Polk RM 6600 Satellite speakers with powered sub-woofer
