Our philosophy
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE MARANTZ UNIQUE SOUND
Music is part of our everyday lives. Even in today’s changing world where audio meets vision, music is still the defining ingredient. It brings
emotion to vision and puts the passion into our experiences. For us, the realistic reproduction of music is the essential premise.
We know that true hi-fi is about being able to reproduce the magic of a performance – about experiencing music just as the artist intended, even
in the cinema. It is music that delivers the ecstasy and agony of a film’s story. To Marantz, perfect specifications and technical accomplishment count
for nothing unless a product can unlock the power, the excitement and the emotion of music.
Our heritage of technical excellence means we can create components with the ability to communicate the scale, timbre, pitch and dynamics, in
fact, the very essence of a recording.
Music is enchanting, and we strive to ensure that the carrier of the music looks and feels as good as it sounds. Every component produced is
technically and cosmetically designed to complement the lifestyle of the listener. We pride ourselves on applying these principles to all of our
products. Each and every one of our home entertainment components is capable of reproducing the purest, most realistic music in your home.
Because music matters
Our quality guarantee
MARANTZ AND POWER
Among the many components that contribute to overall sound quality, Marantz also focus on making amplifiers
that really deliver on their rated power figures – many other manufacturers don’t do this. The effect of using high
quality power supplies across the range (not just the expensive models) is that each and every Marantz AV
Receiver is capable of generating almost as much power when driving multiple amplifiers as it does in 2-channel stereo mode.
Marantz call this Guaranteed Multi-Channel Power. In fact Marantz even give a formal guarantee – the Full Channel Drive with (at least) 70% Power
on tap – a type of guarantee rarely given in this industry. It means that the surround receiver will deliver a minimum of 70% of its rated power when
all amplifiers are run. This compares with 50% or less for many non-Marantz surround receivers.
Marantz Digital Surround Receivers are designed to deliver the frequency response and sonic performance demanded by high-resolution sources
like Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio. The extended dynamic range, with improved transparency, separation and imaging, creates a natural soundstage. High quality amplifiers for each of the 7 channels ensure superb low-impedance driving capability with comprehensive dynamic reserve. The
result is consistently powerful delivery during even the loudest, most dynamic passages of the music or movie soundtrack.
The stability of Marantz amplification and the resulting superior sound is attested to by test-winning Awards and rave reviews from around the world
Our awards
Marantz consistently receives major audio and video awards from around the world, a testament to the
Marantz obsession with sound quality. This year alone, we have received four major awards for our audio
components, including two for our AV Receivers, the SR-9600 and SR-4001.
A selection of previous awards feature on the back cover of this catalogue
Our heritage
1950’S – AN IDEA. A BASEMENT. A PRODUCT. A COMPANY.
The World of Home Entertainment would never be the same
More than any other person, Saul Marantz defined premium home entertainment. Driven by his passion for music and
his accomplishments as a classical guitarist – accomplishments that led to a close friendship with Andres Segovia – he
was never satisfied with the ‘hi fi’ equipment of his day. So he built better; first in his basement, later in a factory. His
talent for industrial design and his ability to infuse talented engineers like Sidney Smith and others with his vision
resulted in legendary products. The Model 7 preamplifier. The Model 8 and, soon after, the 8B power amplifier. And
insured that his company would remain a premiere name in the industry he helped establish
1960’S – THE TRADITION CONTINUES. THE VISION GROWS.
New Models expand musical horizons for many
The Model 9 ‘monoblock’ power amplifier found a home in many audiophile systems. And NASA decided that a
modified version called the 9120 was stable enough to merit use in tracking stations around the world as part of the
Apollo space program. The Model 10B FM tuner, cited by many as the most accurate and best sounding tuner of all
time, soon followed. The decade also saw two other significant Marantz moves; a physical one from New York to
California, and an electronic one from tubes to transistors
1980’S – THE DAWN OF DIGITAL AUDIO FINDS MARANTZ LEADING THE
INDUSTRY ONCE AGAIN.
Laser Disc and CD Players are in demand.
In 1983, consumer digital audio became a reality in North America. And Marantz’s CD-63, the first publicly
announced CD player, led the way. This ground breaking development was soon followed by the appearance of the
CD-12, the world’s first two-piece CD player. Announcement of the CD-63, led the way. was there at the very beginning.
Marantz also becomes involved with video for the first time with the CDV-780 Laserdisc player
1990’S – MARANTZ MOVES INTO AUDIO/VIDEO
Honours its past with replicas of the original Model 7 and Model 9. Saul Marantz moves on to even higher fidelity
Marantz entered the ‘90s with the energy and dedication that came from restored corporate unity. We moved into
audio/video with the introduction of the SM-80, our first THX-certified amplifier in 1992 and the critically-acclaimed
SR-96 THX-certified receiver four years later. The ‘90s also saw the VP-8770, the first Marantz LCD video front
projector, and the PD-4280, the first of our much-praised plasma monitor series. Sadly, we – and the industry – lost
Saul Marantz
2000 – THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA.
High Definition Digital Audio takes centre stage and the new Reference series relights the Marantz passion for excellence
The Super Audio CD came to life as the SA-1 SACD player and other new Reference Series components provided a
concrete example of Marantz’s continuing dedication to sonic superiority. On the AV front, an upgraded series of finelycrafted surround sound receivers and DVD players exhibited engineering inspiration gained from decades of effort and
tradition. And, thanks to determined efforts to extract the most from contemporary technologies like DLP projection
and plasma monitors, Marantz’s video reputation grew almost as quickly as did its legendary audio prestige a half century
earlier.
What’s next? Most certainly the promise of quality and excellence as only Marantz can deliver
1970’S – MARANTZ QUALITY REACHES EVERYONE.
The most successful Receiver line in Consumer Electronics history. Tens of thousands of customers revel in the sound
of Marantz
For almost a decade, the justifiably famous ‘2200’ receivers introduced uncounted thousands of sound-conscious people
to the vivid, enveloping, and musically accurate Marantz sound. And separate components weren’t forgotten either as
Marantz, benefiting from new financial backing and new production facilities in Japan, produced a growing roster of
preamplifiers, power amplifiers, integrated amps, tuners, turntables, and speakers. This was a decade of intense growth
and expansion, fuelled by imaginative product development and demanding quality standards.
Marantz quality goes unquestioned. In 1974, customer Francisco Espina writes Marantz detailing the survival of his
Marantz 2270 during a fire in the building he lives in. Out of curiosity he plugs his now crispy 2270 in and amazingly
it sounds perfect
Marantz SR- 4001 AV Receivers $1, 000-$ 2,000
Marantz SR- 9600 AV Receivers over $4,000
AUDYSSEY
Audyssey is an acoustic measurement technology which equalises the acoustic distortion caused
by the acoustic behaviour of a room. When you experience Audyssey equalisation, a cloudy layer
is lifted away, leaving only clear, accurate, natural sound. Voices and dialog become focused and
intelligible. Musical balance is restored. Musical instruments and sound effects become precisely
localised. Surround soundstage is made seamless and enveloping. And the best at least, everything
will be done fully automatically with a high quality microphone and a sophisticated audio
processing technology started via the setup menu of the AV Receiver
COPPER-PLATED CHASSIS
A copper-plated chassis provides the best shielding against noise or electromagnetic distortion
radiating from other components in the equipment. It prevents this noise from being amplified
together with the audio signal
CURRENT FEEDBACK
Current Feedback amplification is a well known, Marantz’ original circuit technology. The Current
Feedback amplifier technology fits perfectly with the high requirements set for Super Audio software
providing wide-bandwidth, high-speed reproduction. The impedance at the Current Feedback point
is limited resulting in a very low phase shift. Marantz receivers and amplifiers equipped with
Current Feedback can keep the phase compensation via Negative FeedBack (NFB) to a minimum,
resulting in high through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency for the
full bandwidth. Unlike conventional Voltage Feedback amplification, the Current Feedback
amplification makes the power amplifier in-sensitive to difficult loudspeaker loads
DAC
Digital-to-analog converter. Circuitry that converts digital data (such as audio or video) to analog
data
D-Bus
To optimise equipment in terms of ease of use, Marantz has designed the D-Bus system. Received
remote control commands are communicated via this bus. This enables equipment without an IR
Receiver like tuners or hidden system together with an external IR eye to be controlled via the
Marantz System Remote Controller
DCDi
The DCDi (Directional Correlation De-interlacing) circuit improves the video image by using new
motion adaptive de-interlacing without introducing motion artifacts and jagged edges. This circuit
provides edge and detail enhancement without the deleterious side effects. These chipsets have
been chosen for their 10-bit processing of video images as well as their incredible flexibility
DC-TRIGGER
A DC trigger is an assignable voltage output which can automatically control for example an
electrical projection screen, lowering it when the DVD input is chosen on the receiver
DivX
DivX is a video compression tool developed to exchange film content via the internet. With a DivX
certified DVD player it is easily to take digital video from the computer and play it back on the
normal TV at almost DVD quality. Thanks to DivX technology’s superior compression, hours of DVDquality video can be saved on a single CD. The latest improved version is called DivX 6.0. The new
DivX offers enhanced multimedia and interactive features such as subtitling, DVD-esque video
menus and chapter points. Video files created in the new format are handily identified by a new
file extension, divx. Please check capability per product in the specification section
DOLBY DIGITAL EX (DD EX)
Dolby Digital EX brings a dimension of depth, spacious ambience and sound localisation to home
theatre environment. The benefits of DD-EX include more realistic flyover and fly-around effects
from an additional rear centre speaker (6.1), providing a more stable image for atmospheres and
music and a more consistent surround effect throughout the auditorium or home viewing area
DOLBY HEADPHONE
Dolby Headphone technology allows users to listen to music, watch movies, or play video games
with the dramatic surround effects of a 5.1-channel soundtrack through any set of headphones.
Best of all, ‘listener fatigue’, a phenomenon commonly associated with headphone playback, is
replaced by a spacious, natural sound field that listeners can enjoy for hours
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a complete surround sound solution that maximises the entertainment
experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources. Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology
features Movie and Music modes that function with 5.1 as well as stereo sources, including 24-bit /
192 kHz and 24-bit / 96 kHz sources. Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a natural and immersing
7.1-channel listening experience to the home theater environment
DTS ES 96 / 24 Neo:6
The DTS-ES surround system offers a superb sound quality and a range of formats. The Discrete
6.1 offers the ultimate quality of surround field creation, while the Matrix 6.1 provides compatibility
for the existing DTS 5.1 software. And the Neo:6 is to create 6.1 surround stage from any two
channel source. DTS 96 / 24 allows for 5.1 channel sound track encoding at a rate of 96 kHz / 24
bits on DVD-Video titles. Higher sampling rates provide greater bit depth and allow a wider
frequency response. In conjunction with the use of anti-alias and reconstruction filters DTS 94 / 24
results in a more transparent sound quality equivalent to the original soundtrack and is fully
backwards compatible at the same time
DVD-AUDIO
DVD-Audio is a music format that takes advantage of the high storage capacity of the DVD to
present high quality audio up to six channel. For six channel amplification, DVD-Audio provides the
possibility to have 24 bit-96 kHz audio information for all six channels, which results in an increased
dynamic range (144 dB) and an increased frequency range (0-96 kHz). In a two channel amplification,
DVD-Audio expands the limit of the sampling rate to 192 kHz
HDMI CONVERSION
Video conversion from analogue level to the digital level for output via HDMI offers ease of use and
best digital picture quality. The analogue signal will be converted one to one without any further
processing. This means interlace analogue signal will be outputted as interlace digital signal – 576i
> HDMI 576i. For analogue progressive signal the digital output will be progressive as well 576p >
HDMI 576p. Please check compatibility of the TV set or display
HDMI CONVERSION WITH IP PROCESSING
Video conversion from analogue level to the digital level for output via HDMI offers ease of use and
best digital picture quality for each source material. A one to one analogue to digital conversion
might cause some problems in daily use, because interlace video signals like 576i will be outputted
as 576i digital, but some today’s TV sets can’t understand this signal. To avoid problems an IPprocessing is applied, changing the signal from interlace to progressive – 576i
HIGH-DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE (HDMI)
HDMI combines high-definition video and superb audio in a single digital interface with a bandwidth
of up to 5 Gigabits/ second. HDMI1.0 complies with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) technology protecting high-value content from unauthorised reproduction and distribution.
HDMI1.0 is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both high-definition video and
multi-channel audio e.g. Dolby Digital and DTS) in all HD formats, including 720p, 1080i and even
the upcoming 1080p. With only a single cable connection all information can be digitally transmitted.
The HDMI1.1 is able to transport the high resolution DVD-A data as well. With HDMI1.2 the
transmission of high resolution stereo and multichannel information of SACD completes the portfolio
HYPER DYNAMIC AMPLIFIER MODULES (HDAM)
Marantz developed it’s own discrete circuit boards to replace the IC’s. These HDAM’s consists of
discrete surface mount components with short mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are
doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC Op-amps dramatically
in terms of the Slew Rate, resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound
IEEE1394
The IEEE 1394 easy-to-use and high-speed bus easily handles multimedia bandwidth requirements
and provides an universal interface for a variety of devices. This digital connection ensures that
digital data streams of high resolution formats like SA-CD and DVD-A, are transferred without
changing the integrity of the digital signal for both multichannel and stereo
IR-FLASHER
The IR-Flasher In is a standardised connection to control the AV system by external IR receivers
independent of the infra red control format used. On the IR-Flasher out a IR Emitter can be connected
to controlled third brand components. The third connection link to this is the IR-Receiver input
which is similar to the IR-Flasher In, but it outputs a voltage to feet an external IR-Receiver eye.
Please check capability per product in the specification section
LIP SYNC
The digital processing and scaling of video displays can create a slight delay in the video signal.
This delay makes audio tracks appear out of sync. Using sound delay (Lip Sync) you can slow the
sound presentation to match the presentation of the video
MARANTZ ROOM ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION (MRAC)
Based on our room acoustics knowledge and expertise already shown in products like the AX1000,
the Marantz Room Acoustic Calibration (MRAC) was developed. The algorithms developed are
derived from this amazing AV computer developed more than a decade ago. Taking into account
reflections from walls, ceiling and floor and knowledge about psycho-acoustics, MRAC optimises
the sound for the room acoustics. With a supplied microphone placed on your listening position, a
powerful DSP analyses accurately and sets the sound configuration for your listening room. MRAC
can tests and controls speaker configuration, trim, distance / delay and frequency response
MULTI ROOM / MULTI SOURCE
With the Marantz AV system placed in the main room of the house, a second or even a third loudspeaker set can be placed in two separate rooms. In those rooms an audio and even a video source
can be selected independently from the main room at a different sound level and with full remote
control functionality
NSV
NSV Precision Video is used for very high-quality picture reproduction. This technology allows video
images to be displayed at resolutions and lower effective signal to noise ratios well beyond that
which would be expected from the data converter by making use of the latest technological
advances. The improvement takes place in parallel with the simultaneous move to support more
and more higher definition video standards including Progressive Scan and HDTV
O.R.C.A FILTER
Marantz engineers developed a colour correction filter called ORCA (the Optical Reproduction of
Colour Accuracy), which filters out the excess yellow, creating a very neutral white light that passes
through the colour wheel. This results in the most accurate colour palette ever achieved in a video
projector and has been balanced to meet the HD colour space (ITU-RBT709). This is an industry first
and a Marantz exclusive!
PROGRESSIVE SCAN
Compared to a conventional interlaced picture, progressive scanning creates a picture signal with
double the scan lines, resulting in a noticeably sharper image. The progressive image offers higher
picture resolution and eliminates virtually all motion artifacts. Even on large screens, the progressive
scan lines are barely noticeable and picture flickering is greatly reduced, so you can enjoy extended
viewing without eye fatigue
RS-232C
The RS-232 is a communication port direct to the micro processor of the device. It is possible to
control the component and get status feedback via this connection without any visual contact and
even offers a way to update the system software if needed
SRS CIRCLE SURROUND II
Circle Surround II is a powerful and versatile multi-channel technology designed to enable up to 6.1
multi-channel surround-sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources and other matrix
encoded sources. CS-II places the listener ‘inside’ the music performances and dramatically
improves the separation and image positioning of both hi-fi audio conventional surround-encoded
video material, adding a heightened sense of realism
SUPER AUDIO CD
Super Audio CD (SACD) is a next generation of music format that provides a more natural, ultra-high
quality sound. It offers a smooth migration path to a higher quality sound, as all existing CDs can
be played on the SACD player. Super Audio CD is based on the Direct Stream Digital (DSD)
technology, which uses 1 bit delta-sigma modulation and a sampling frequency that is 64 times
higher than that of the CD. This enables the Super Audio CD to offer a frequency range up to 100 kHz
and a dynamic range of 120 dB
SUPER-RING TRANSFORMER
Super-Ring transformer has the same advantage with a toroidal transformer such as high efficiency,
stability, and speed. In addition the super ring transformer outperforms the toroidal transformer on
certain aspects. Thanks to its round shape of the core, the super ring transformer’s electro-magnetic
radiation and mechanical vibration are extremely low
THX ULTRA2
THX Ultra2 incorporates two additional processing technologies: Advanced Speaker Array (A.S.A.)
and Boundary Gain Compensation (B.G.C). ASA is a proprietary of THX technology which processes
the sound fed into 2 surround and 2 surround back speakers to provide the optimum in enveloping
surround sound reproduction. When placing the 2 surround back speakers close to each other and
build your home theatre setup using 8 speakers, ASA will create the largest possible sweet spot in
your surround sound field. Boundary Gain Compensation provides an optimised bass balance in
case the listening room layout results in most of the listeners being seated close to the rear wall.
This technology prevents a ‘boomy’ bass yet processes the appropriate bass reinforcement
THX Select
THX Select technology delivers all the proprietary THX Home Theater features that reproduce
accurate and stirring soundtrack audio – in a system optimised for smaller spaces (home environments
of 2000 cubic feet or less). Offering this technology in mid-priced products that delivery top-quality
sound, THX Select combines audio power and integrity with superior economic value
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX is the home version of this latest advance in hyper-realistic sound technology.
Available exclusively in THX-licensed ‘Ultra’ and ‘Select’ series products, THX Surround EX decodes
a back surround signal from the left and right surround channels on specially encoded DVD movie
releases. Unlike products offering ‘6.1’ channel decoding schemes, only select THX Certified
components adhere to superior performance specifications through redirecting bass energy in the
Surround back channels to the subwoofer, ensuring optimum bass performance, requiring
Re-Equalisation™ of the Surround back channels to match characteristics of the front and left /
right surround channels and synchronising the Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right speakers
in time and position relative to the listener, providing a seamless surround sound experience. The
same technical standards for Surround back channels are maintained for Left and Right channel
surround, eliminating compromise in channel separation, noise, headroom, bandwidth and decoding
accuracy
TRUE HD 1080P
1080p is the short name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 stands for 1080 lines of
vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is the
resolution possible for HDTV. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying
a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 lines and a frame resolution of 1920 x 1080 or over two
million pixels. 1080p is the digital standard for filming digital motion pictures. Directors such as
George Lucas (in Star Wars: Episode III) shoot their digital films in this high definition mode to be
shown in theatres equipped with 1080p digital projectors. The new projector VP-11S1 applies the
latest DLP chip from TI featuring the resolution of 1920x1080, not to miss any pixel of information
TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER
Toroidal transformer has several advantages over a normal EI core transformer. It is very efficient
and therefore delivers more power compared to the same size of an EI core transformer. In addition,
due to its shape, the electromagnetic radiation and the mechanical vibration are extremely low
VIDEO CONVERSION
It can up convert the Composite signal to S-Video/Component and S-Video to Component; as well
as down convert from S-Video to composite (the component signal is not down converted). This
feature allows you to connect any source via a single component. In order to avoid synchronisation
the high quality video converter is equipped with digital video processing consisting of for example;
4H line memory, time based corrector, a triple 10-bit DAC, filed locking, VCR detection and anti
aliasing filtering
VISUAL EXCELLENCE PROCESSING
Gennum’s VXP offers stunning image quality by applying the most advanced image processing
techniques to all SD, HD and graphics signals including content adaptive de-interlacing of HDTV
1080i signals. The internal adaptive de-interlacer sets a new standard for motion processing, film
mode detection and dynamic directional edge processing. With its10-bit signal path and high
precision processing, VXP enables the newest generation of display technologies to fully utilise
their ability to display 10-bit grey-scales and colours. Additional Broadcast quality algorithms that
include adaptive noise reduction and detail enhancement remove unwanted noise while improving
image detail for an uncompromised, cinematic High Definition experience
