CONTENTS 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 amplifier
section capable of delivering 170 W/ch (6 ohm,
JEITA) of high-current amplification, for continuously
clean and stable power into each of the 5 channels.
It employs a massive EI power transformer in
combination with oversized filter 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

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING BATTERIES
Misusing batteries can lead to fire, injury or soiling
of surrounding area as a result of leakage, rupture
or corrosion.
Carefully read the following precautions before
using batteries.
• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
ªand ·poles are properly aligned with
the corresponding markings on the remote
controller.
• Batteries of the same size and shape may have
different voltages. Do not use any battery except
the type indicated. Do not use old and new
batteries together, and do not use different types
of batteries together.
• Do not recharge batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek
medical attention if accidentally ingested.
• Do not carry or store batteries together with
metal ball point pens, necklaces, coins, hair pins,
etc.
• If you will not be using the remote controller for
an extended time (1 month or more), remove the
batteries to prevent leakage. If batteries leak, do
not touch the fluid with bare hands. Wipe away
any fluid in the case and put in new batteries.
When doing so, handle with care, because fluid
on skin or clothing presents a burn risk. If you
accidentally get fluid on your skin, immediately
wash with water and seek medical attention.
• Do not heat or take apart batteries or put them in
flame or water.
• When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction’s rules that
apply in your country or area.
• Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat
such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.
REMOTE CONTROL
Operate the remote controller within a distance of
approx. 5m from the infrared receptor window on
the front of the unit.
Approx. 5m (16.4 ft)
Remote controller
Caution
• Do not allow direct sunlight, an inverter
fluorescent light or other strong source of light to
shine onto the playerʼs infrared receptor window.
Otherwise, the operation of the remote controller
may be disabled.
• Bear in mind that operating the remote controller
may cause other devices operated by infrared
rays to be operated by mistake.
• The remote controller cannot be operated if the
space between the controller and the playerʼs
infrared receptor window is obstructed.
• Do not place any objects on top of the remote
controller.
Doing so may cause one or more buttons to be
held down which will cause the batteries to run
down.

qANTENNA terminals
FM
Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxial
cable, or a cable network FM source.
AM
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna. Use the
terminals marked “AM” and “GND”. The supplied
AM loop antenna will provide good AM reception in
most areas. Position the loop antenna until you hear
the best reception.
wAUDIO IN/OUT terminals
(CD/TAPE, VCR, DVD, BLU-RAY)
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs.
There are 4 audio inputs (3 of which are linked
to video inputs) and 2 audio outputs (1 of which
are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are
nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact
disc players, DVD players and etc.... The audio
inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
eVIDEO IN/OUT terminals
(VCR, DVD, BLU-RAY)
These are the video inputs and outputs. There are
3 video inputs and 1 video outputs configurations.
Connect VCRs, DVD players, and Blu-ray disc
players to the video inputs.
The 1 video output channels can be used to be
connected to video tape recorders for making
recordings.
rMONITOR OUT terminal
Connect to TV composite input.
tDIGITAL IN terminal
These are the digital audio inputs.
This unit has 2 coaxial digital inputs and 1 optical
digital input.
The inputs accept digital audio signals from a BLU-
RAY, DVD, or CD source component.
yCOMPONENT VIDEO terminals
If your DVD player or other device has component
video connectors, be sure to connect them to these
component video connectors on the unit. This unit
has 2 component video input connectors to obtain
the color information (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) directly from the
recorded DVD signal or other video component and
one component video output connector to output it
directly into the matrix decoder of the display device.
By sending the pure DVD component video signal
directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing
that normally would degrade the image. The result
is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly life
like colors and crisp detail.
uREMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT
terminals
Connect to a Marantz component equipped with
remote control (RC-5) terminals.
iAC INLET
Plug the supplied power cable into this AC INLET
and then into the power outlet on the wall.
This unit can be powered by 230V AC only.
oSPEAKER SYSTEMS terminals
5 terminals are provided for the front left, front right,
front center, surround left, surround right speakers.
!0 SUB WOOFER PREOUT terminal
Connect this jack to the line level input of a powered
subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used,
connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. If
you are using two subwoofers, either powered or
with a 2 channel subwoofer amplifier, connect a “Y”
connector to the subwoofer output jack and run one
cable from it to each subwoofer amplifier.
!1 5.1 CH INPUT terminals
By connecting a DVD Audio player, Super Audio CD
multichannel player, or other components that has a
multichannel port, you can playback the audio with
5.1 channel outputs.
!2 HDMI terminals
This unit has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 5-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a
center speaker, surround left and right speakers and a subwoofer.
For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver
units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture
emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be
identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.
One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they
were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as
it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be
used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.
Front Right
Front Left
Front
Center
Surround
Left
Surround

Subwoofer
FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS
We recommend to set the front L and R speakers
with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.
CENTER SPEAKER
Align the front line of the center speaker with the
front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a
little backward from the line.
SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS
When this unit is used in surround operation, the
preferred location for surround speakers is on the
side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the
listening position.
The center of the center speaker should face the
center of the room.
SUBWOOFER
We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum
bass effect. As the subwoofer only handles low
frequencies, you can place it any where in the room.
HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS
FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS,

Note
Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,
right and the center speakers when the speakers are
installed near the TV.
SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS
Place the surround left, right higher than your ears
by about 70cm – 1m. Also place the speakers at the
same height, as best as possible.
