Product Description
The SR4003 offers a full 80 watts/channel across the full audio spectrum into 8 ohm loads with less than 0.08 total harmonic distortion. That's "separate component" performance territory! Marantz get there with a power supply specifically developed to deliver high instantaneous current when signals get really demanding. The high capacity, low-loss EI core transformer feeds a capacitor array rated at over 16,000 ?farads so the amplifier section never ends up gasping for breath. You might - but that's because the performance is so outstanding.All seven amplifier channels mount on an in-line array for even heat dissipation. And their voltage feedback configuration takes full advantage of the audiophile-grade parts selected only after exhaustive auditory evaluation. And there's a separate circuit board exclusively for audio to minimize potential interference from video signals.The SR4003 even makes getting a pristine audio signal from your system to your ears a simple process, thanks to MRAC or Marantz Room Acoustic Calibration. Using internally generated test signals and proprietary algorithms, MRAC analyzes the acoustic qualities of your room and automatically determines your speaker configuration and capabilities, adjusts channel levels and delay settings, and corrects for virtually all room anomalies.The SR4003 brings other niceties. The infrared flasher input lets it play nicely with other components in your system. And the backlit remote controller lets you see what key you're about to press. It easily learns those other commands so it can converse intelligently with all the electronic citizens in your home entertainment world.

This is the first receiver I've owned, and I like it. I got it because of good reviews of the SR4002, the new face design, price ($450 in Dec 2008), and some forum comment somewhere about how it sounds great with Klipsch speakers, which I like. I haven't used an SR4002 but I didn't spot any differences in the specs.
br /
br /I have the SR4003 driving Klipsch KG 2.5 mains, Quintet II center and surrounds, and an Orb Super 8 sub. I don't really know how much the receiver is responsible for, but I am seriously enjoying the sound of it all. It has a very detailed sound, spaciousness and good continuous placement of sound between speakers. It's very dynamic and can get way louder than I can stand in my 12x20' TV room.
br /
br /There's a short selection of surround modes, and no 'genre' settings like some other receivers (it has a few "music" and "movie" choices but not "jazz", "rock" etc). For stereo sources I use the mode called Neo:6 Music, which puts echo-ey sounds behind you like Pro Logic does but in a fuller and more pleasing way. For movies I leave it on Auto which just maps the 5.1 or 7.1 source onto my setup.
br /
br /The remote is just fine. It's a long rectangle that is easy to hold. There's a side-button activated 2-second backlight. It learned all the TV commands I use, so I don't need the TV remote anymore.
br /
br /It's true, you can't access the setup menu over HDMI, but I didn't mind using the composite input, and I haven't used the setup screen since I changed my main speakers.
br /
br /I have my TV and PS3 each hooked up to optical. Ideally I would want the PS3 audio going into the receiver over HDMI, and the picture passed through to the TV so I wouldn't have to have 2 cables out of the PS3. However, the picture won't pass through the receiver. The receiver will play LPCM over HDMI, but it won't repeat the picture from the PS3 to the TV.
br /To be clear:
br /PS3 - HDMI - TV: works fine, picture and (low quality) audio on TV
br /PS3 - HDMI - SR4003: good LPCM audio
br /PS3 - HDMI - SR4003 - HDMI - TV: good LPCM audio, no picture on TV
br /There's a line in the manual saying some DVD players aren't compatible with the SR4003 repeater. I guess that's the explanation. It's not a big problem though... I have good picture and great audio and I'm still giving it 5 stars.
br /
br /If you want the full HDMI compatibility, I think you can pay for it by getting the SR5003. As for me, I'll be fine with this one for a long time.
