Marantz CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 AV Receiver

Slimline 7.2-channel design with Dolby Atmos, 8K HDMI, HEOS, and an upgraded 32-bit DAC

The Marantz CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 delivers immersive home theater, high-resolution music streaming, and modern gaming features in a slimline chassis measuring just 4.3" high. Its seven discrete amplifier channels produce 50 Wpc into 8 ohms, while Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization support flexible surround configurations.

For SERIES 2, Marantz has upgraded the receiver with a high-performance 32-bit, 8-channel DAC designed to improve clarity, resolution, and dynamic range. Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction is included, while compatibility with an optional Dirac Live upgrade allows more advanced acoustic optimization.

8K Video and Gaming Support

Six HDMI inputs accommodate a complete entertainment system, with three supporting 8K/60 Hz and 4K/120 Hz signals at up to 40 Gbps. The single HDMI output supports eARC, while HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dynamic HDR, HLG, Variable Refresh Rate, Quick Frame Transport, Auto Low Latency Mode, and AMD FreeSync provide broad compatibility with current televisions, game consoles, and video sources.

Music Throughout the Home

Powered by HEOS, the CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 can stream music from compatible services and share audio with other HEOS-enabled components throughout the home. It also supports AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready operation, internet radio, and high-resolution files up to 24-bit/192 kHz and DSD 5.6 MHz.

Flexible for Music and Movies

Three analog inputs, optical and coaxial digital inputs, an MM phonostage, and a rear-panel USB port make it easy to connect both current and legacy sources. A complete 7.2-channel preamp output allows the receiver to be paired with external power amplifiers, while dual subwoofer outputs, assignable amplification, bi-amping, and Zone 2 operation provide additional system flexibility.
