Marantz SR8001 Specification Guide

Life Amplified

TM

The SR8001 features THX Select2 certification and is also one of the few receivers to feature Audyssey’s unique auto calibration capability.  This

is a significant improvement over previous “room correction” strategies in that it improves the listening characteristics of your entire room

rather than for just one or two seats. . It’s your assurance that, in addition to the power you’ll need to fill average-sized rooms with theater-

quality sound (125 watts continuous from each of its seven amplifiers), other performance parameters like signal-to-noise and distortion are

absolutely first class.  Then there are the Marantz touches.  A toroid-based power supply.  Current feedback amplification.  An anti-interference

copper plated chassis that’s less than 16” deep so it will fit in more places easily.  Adding to the audio flexibility is a 3rd Zone output (with an

individually selectable source!) to make your SR8001 the center of a whole house distributed audio system. On the A/V side, the SR8001

features HDMI switching (version 1.2) for up to four sources and two display devices.  And there’s format conversion to HDMI with Time Base

Correction so even your older video sources will look their best.  If you’re not quite ready for HDMI (or if your displays aren’t), the SR8001

offers two assignable component outputs, too.  One infrared receiver input and two IR outputs add enormous control flexibility as do two DC

“trigger” outputs for custom installation applications. And, of course, the peace of mind that our three year-warranty gives you.
