SR9200 THX Ultra®Digital Surround Receiver
Setting the Standard
For nearly 50 years, Marantz has been setting the standard for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike. In keeping
up with leading edge design and engineering, Marantz is once again going to be the benchmark by which all others are
judged. Unlock the power and performance of the SR9200 and experience unrivalled depth and intensity in home
entertainment.
Technology to Last
The SR9200 incorporates the latest generation of digital surround sound decoding technology such as THX Ultra®, THX
Surround EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES-Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Pro-Logic II (movie and
music) as well as a built-in HDCD decoder for HDCD encoded CDs. In addition, Marantz has focused on the future.
By utilizing pre-out/main-in jacks, 7.1 direct inputs and a RS232C communication port, the SR9200 is upgradeable to
tomorrow’s technology, today!
Unleash the Power
The SR9200 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 140 watts of high-current
amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the seven channels. It employs a massive super ring
toroidal power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. Current feedback topology allows total
operation stability, while requiring minimal amounts of negative feed-back, resulting in an excellent transient frequency
response and superb sonic transparency. This design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the
most demanding action movie soundtracks and full range (multi channel) music discs.Through its ability to generate very
high output voltages, the SR9200 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.
Unleash the Power
Experience the Emotion
The SR9200 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal®192 kHz/24
bitD/Aconverter in each oftheseven channels. When reproducing2channel stereo, theseDACsare automatically
switchedindual differentialmode,to perform the highestquality D/A conversion. Inthe SR9200, all ofthe digital,
analog and control circuits are separated and extensively shielded in their own enclosures to prevent crosstalk and
other unwanted interference. Independent power supplies are incorporated for the FL display, audio and video
sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with a copper plated chassis, gold plated
terminals, and hand-selected customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion,
exactly as the artist had intended.
Installation Friendly
The SR9200 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from custom installation
experts, dealers and consumers. It features multi-
room/multi-source, 2 assignable DC triggers, a
RS232Ccommunicationport, heavydutyspeaker
binding posts and an extensive array of both
analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 9 assignable digital inputs (10 total), 4 component inputs, SACD Multi
Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs and a multi room speaker and OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning
new level. Furthermore, the SR9200 is the first receiver to output the OSD information through the professional
grade component video outputs as well as the Y/C (S video) and composite video outputs. This highly desirable
feature is ideal for anyone utilizing a HD ready display device.
Ease of Control
The SR9200 includes the RC3200
programmable touch screen learning
remote control, with two-way
communication. Information re-
garding the status of the SR9200 such
as source, station name, surround
mode, etc are all displayed on the back- lit
touch screen panel. Other features of the
remote control include: 1 MB of memory, a
computer connection (via RS232C) to upload
customized control codes, programmable macros and a
wide carrier frequency range for compatibility with other
brands. All of these functions enable friendly, extensive and versatile
control during setup and operation.
In Marantz Style
The new generation of Marantz
Receivers are stylish and completely
symmetrical. On the front panel of the
SR9200, buttons are kept to a
minimum. Source selectors and volume
controls are intuitively placed. Even the
front panel A/V inputs, including an
optical digital input are covered,
unobtrusively behind an oil dampened
thick metal fold down door. An elegant
and accurate fly wheel gyro touch tuning
dial completes the balanced Marantz
design. The large left dial knob on the
left can be used as multi dial which
allows all functions of the SR9200 to be
operated via the front panel.
