Every audiophile wants an AV Receiver in their living room that’s got loads of connectivity as well as
the best ear-cracking sound reproduction. But some people (or their partners) just don’t want such a big
box in their living room. That’s why Marantz has developed the first super-slim AV receiver to which
you can simultaneously connect your satellite box, BD/DVD player, game console and camcorder, and
can give you exceptional quality sound reproduction. Introducing the NR1501 – elegance with a punch.

Receivers - but this time in a highly elegant, super-slim cabinet that’s just 10.5cm high, to perfectly complement
1OUT

your DVD or Blu-ray player. The NR1501 has on-board decoders for both standard and high definition audio such as
DTS-HD and TrueHD, it also effortlessly converts analogue video signals to HDMI. Its four HDMI 1.3a inputs handle
a host of digital sources, so you can easily hook-up your satellite box, BD/DVD player, game console and camcorder
all at the same time. And there is just one HDMI cable connected to your screen. What’s more, you don’t need to
spend time selecting the correct input on your TV - the NR1501 does it all for you. Fans of portable media players
like iPods will love the front audio input for easy connection. The loudspeaker set-up can be as simple as a stereo
system or (when front speakers are not powerful enough) a 2.1 with additional subwoofer for the bass and special
effects. You can even extend it to a 5.1 or even 7.1 system, filling the room with spectacular surround sound and
converting your living room into a sensational cinema. What’s more, the OSD menu and MRAC auto set-up using a
microphone makes installation fast and easy - even for non-technical users. Just enjoy the fabulous sound and the
elegant appearance: the NR1501 has it all.

At the heart of this amplifier is a massive high-current, audiophile-grade, oversized Toroidal power transformer.
So it easily delivers more than 140W to each of the eight channels. In addition to its sheer power it incorporates
high-grade audio components throughout, extensive shielding of key components, and ultra-wide bandwidth current
feedback technology. The amplification system was originally developed to handle SACD signals, so it’s ideal for
the new DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD formats. The chassis is completely copper-plated to deliver
perfect grounding and to eliminate EMI. The result is an amazingly accurate tonal and image balance, allied to
speed and dynamics with very low distortion.

won the format war against HD-DVD,
PLAYERS and Marantz is already offering four
new Blu-ray players featuring the
FOR YOUR PASSION Profile2.0 standard - also known as
BD-Live. This enables you to add extra
movie content from the Internet to
create a ‘live’ experience, hence the
name BD-Live. The ‘UD’ in the names
of the top two models stands for
Universal Disc, since they’re not only
excellent video players, but also top-
quality audio players – as proven in tests
with audiophiles and with recognised
audio professionals – faithfully repro-

The new UD9004 is the flagship player for ‘no-compromise’ audiophiles, while the UD8004 provides a
more accessible, but still excellent, universal playback solution. In addition, this year’s line up includes
the BD7004 and BD5004, as well as the DV4003 offering great performance for standard DVDs.
And of course all Marantz BD-Players are ‘backwards-compatible’ which means they will play back
your DVDs too. It’s all there: unbelievable resolution, razor-sharp lines, intense, perfect colours and
truly outstanding audio. All you have to do is live it!

astonishing picture quality from Blu-ray (24fps) the BD7004 gives your DVDs a higher quality boost – thanks to
Anchor Bay’s VRS™ video processing, which outputs 1080p from standard material via the HDMI 1.3a port. On the
audio side, the BD7004 has a 7.1 decoder for all major HD-audio formats including Dolby True HD and DTS HD. And

Although the UD8004 is a more accessible Universal Disc player solution, it is still a truly exceptional-quality
flagship unit, benefiting greatly from the UD9004. Its absolute video integrity ensures excellent Blu-ray playback
and it actively improves the quality of your DVDs - that’s because the new Anchor Bay video processing chip
optimises any signal with adaptive 3D de-interlacing, noise reduction and detail enhancement. For the analogue
video-out, it applies a 297MHz/12bit DAC. On the audio side, Marantz has ensured excellent reproduction of CD and
SACD by building in a dedicated power supply exclusively for analogue audio. HDAM-SA2s are used for all channels
and are divided over two independent audio boards. And all of this functionality and high quality reproduction is
packed in a very solid chassis.

player for best pictures and best sound. The result is the flagship UD9004: an unbelievably pulsating experience for
your eyes and your ears. The UD9004 incorporates Silicon Realta Optix HQV 10-bit processing technology from
professional broadcast systems with no less than 10 technologies for a breathtaking picture experience from DVD
and Blu-ray. It also has a whole host of state-of-the-art features to reproduce exceptional-quality audio – as you

strong power supply with encased Toroidal transformer and customized capacitors. To avoid any cross talk to the
main front channels, dedicated boards are used in the XLR outputs, the main cinch outputs, and the left over
channels. So in total four audio boards with only the best components are used. And, because it includes the
Marantz HDAM-SA2s and an all-over sound tuning, the result is a spacious, lively and well tonal balanced,
exceptional audio reproduction.

the listener “inside” the music performances and dramatically improves the separation and
image positioning of both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material,
adding a heightened sense of realism.

42. HT-EQ
The Marantz HT-EQ Home Theatre Equalizer circuit compensates for the overly bright sound
of some DVD movie soundtracks that were not properly re-equalized for the home listening
environment from the original film soundtrack. Film soundtracks are often equalized with a
higher bright soundstage. This is done because the speakers in a movie theatre are placed
further from the audience as the speakers in your home theatre setting. The functionality is
similar to the Re-EQ(TM) of THX.

43. MULTICHANNEL DOWNMIX

When audio cannot be enjoyed via HDMI connection, the audio output has to be connected
analogue to the receiver or output screen. When a source product is not equipped with an
analogue multichannel output but only a stereo audio output, the internal 2-channel downmix
processing automatically downmixes a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 signal back to a stereo signal (2.0).
Optional to the HDMI of course the digital audio output can be used for standard multichannel
audio as Dolby Digital or DTS.
