FEATURES
This unit incorporates the latest generation of digital
surround sound decoding technology such as Dolby
Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie, Music).
In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By
utilizing pre-out jacks, 5.1 direct inputs, the unit is
tomorrow's technology, today!
This unit features a fully discrete 5 channel amplifi er
section capable of delivering 170 W/ch (6 ohm,
JEITA) of high-current amplifi cation, for continuously
clean and stable power into each of the 5 channels.
It employs a massive EI power transformer in
combination with oversized fi lter capacitors. This
design configuration is capable of a clear and
powerful reproduction of the most demanding action
movie soundtracks and full range (multichannel)
music discs. Through its ability to generate very high
output voltages, the unit can easily drive the most
demanding speakers with optimum results.
This unit incorporates the most advanced Digital
Signal Processing circuitry, along with a 192
kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 5 channels.
Independent power supply circuits are incorporated
for the FL display, audio and video sections
for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic
range. Together with hand-selected customized
components, all elements work in harmony to
recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had
intended.
An easy-to-use universal remote controller allows
full access to all of the operating functions and can
