If you have a H4n, this is a must have for twenty bucks.
It mimics most of the front panel keys and can make level adjustments by remote (Marantz is just a record, mark, and pause 3 button remote - to stop you must go back to the front panel or else add your own stop switch and resistor, instructions are included in the manual to expand its abilities)
I like the full compliment of indicators and switches on zoom. It uses a 4 conductor 2.5mm TRRS plug and since those are harder to find than hens teeth they include a generous extension giving you easily 15 feet and probably pushing 20 between both the remote and the extension.
Sure there are features that could not be put into the remote like a battery life indicator, but overall it does more and costs less than other remotes I own. The 4 conductor 2.5mm TRRS extension is worth having in your cable collection all by itself!
My only complaint about zoom is that their amplifiers are noisier than Marantz by 20-30 dB, so I still use the PMD-661Marantz PMD661 Portable SD Recorder as my primary digitsl recorder, but since it can't do quad channel recording I pull out the zoom when needed. I also like zoom's stereo mics better than marantz's and the built in mics have better amps than zoom's inputs so that config yields good reproduction of stereo sound without a stereo bar and 2 xlr cables.Get more detail about Zoom RC4 Wired Remote Control For Zoom H4n.
