SR9600

THX ULTRA2

DIGITAL SURROUND RECEIVER

The SR9600 is simply the best surround receiver we’ve ever offered. It surpasses the performance levels of even separate components in both sheer brawn and subtle sophistication. THX Ultra2

certification - and power output of 140 Watts RMS from each of its seven currentfeedback amplifiers - means the SR9600 will recreate the sonic impact of dynamic movie soundtracks in the largest rooms. Intelligent cooling assures long term stability, even under the most demanding conditions. Analog preamp circuitry features wideband HDAM-SA2 modules. The oversized power supply includes a toroidal transformer and Marantz-designed storage capacitors for quick response to rapidly varying sources. Dual 32-Bit microprocessors handle surround decoding and 9-band equalization M.R.A.C. (Marantz Room Acoustic Calibration) adjustments with outstanding speed and accuracy. Two AM/FM tuners let you listen to different stations in different areas of your home. Connectivity includes IEEE-1394 and HDMI for accurate data transfer. The high resolution display makes control and adjustment easy. Dolby Headphone produces a private, natural, non-fatiguing surround experience. An RS232 port (for both control and upgrade) and 4 programmable 12 volt “triggers” let the SR9600 function in virtually any custom-designed home theater system.
