Features

High quality sound

0Powerful 9-Channel Discrete Amplifier

Featuring discrete high-current power amplifiers on all channels, this

unit delivers 110W of power per channel (8 Ω/ohms, 20Hz-20kHz,

T.H.D.: 0.08%, 2ch drive). With low impedance driver capability, it offers

operational stability with a wide range of speakers for balanced, quality

sound.

Auto Eco Mode adjusts power output to speakers based on volume

level and on-screen eco meter, providing power consumption reduction

in real-time without sacrificing superb Marantz sound.

0Current feedback amplifier

This unit uses a high-speed current feedback amplifier circuit for its

preamplifier so that signals from a Blu-ray Disc player and other

equipment that support high-definition audio formats can be amplified

with high fidelity. The high-speed current feedback amplifier also

reproduces a natural sound space.

0Dolby Atmos (v p. 293)

This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos audio

format. The placement or movement of sound is accurately reproduced

by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling you to experience an

incredibly natural and realistic surround sound field.

0Speaker Virtualizer (v p. 174)

Speaker Virtualizer enables you to access a more immersive

entertainment experience from traditional channel based speaker

layouts through digital signal processing including Dolby Atmos height

virtualization and surround virtualization.

0Speaker Virtualizer is not for use when both height speakers and surround

speakers are connected.

0Height Virtualization may be applied when surround speakers are connected.

0DTS:X (v p. 296)

This unit is equipped with the DTS:X decoder technology. DTS:X brings

the home theater experience to new heights with its immersive object

based audio technology which removes the bounds of channels. The

flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small and

moved around the room with greater accuracy than ever before leading

to a richer immersive audio experience.
