Marantz SR 7001

Marantz SR 7001 ... demanding yet cost-conscious customers out there. Let's look at video capabilities first. You can connect up to four HDMI equipped sources to the SR7001. Direct the one you want to your display and to the SR7001's built-in surround sound processor. Unlike earlier HDMI connections, these handle multi-channel sound with ease.

Still enjoying non-HDMI sources? Rest easy. The SR7001 comes complete with format conversion lets you watch older videos through the super-convenient HDMI format. And there's a Second Zone audio/video output, too, so you can enjoy your entertainment throughout your entire home. You'll also find Dolby Virtual Speaker so you can enjoy an immersive surround experience with the dialog clarity inherent in a discrete center channel configuration with just two speakers!

And, speaking of clarity, the SR7001 features Audyssey's remarkable Auto Calibration that examines your entire room to corrects for the acoustical problems that sometimes make those other seats just as rewarding as the ones directly in front of your display device's screen. There's an infrared input and two DC trigger outputs so you can coordinate your entire system for convenient remote operation.
