Marantz Cinema 60

Description

Excellence begins with sound quality
Putting sound quality at its heart, the Marantz Cinema 60 DAB is tuned by Marantz’s Sound Master for the best possible performance. Using their unique HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules), sound quality is lifelike and dynamic with a rich, spacious tone that wraps around you.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for total immersion
Making the most of the Marantz’s high quality, 100 watt amplifier, this Marantz AVR offers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Both formats use ceiling or up-firing speakers in a 5.2.2 configuration, for three-dimensional and fully immersive sound. Whether it’s rain falling in a tropical jungle or the intense sound of overhead gunfire, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X put you in the centre of the action.

Extra height, without the speakers
As impressive as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound, it’s not always possible to accommodate the extra speakers. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X Height Virtualisation technology go some way to help. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers. DTS Virtual:X also creates a more enveloping sound from any DTS codec. Compatible with 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configurations, DTS Virtual:X gives the impression of height and immersive sound.

Compatible with 8K and the latest technologies
With six HDMI inputs, the Cinema 60 DAB is ready for the most extensive AV systems. Three of the HDMI inputs meet the HDMI 2.1 standard, meaning they support 8K, 4K/120Hz signals and more. Both outputs are 8K compatible, too. The Cinema 60 DAB also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3, through all its HDMI sockets.

A gaming advantage
The enhanced HDMI interface makes this Marantz AV receiver ideal for pairing with the latest games consoles. There’s support for 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), giving you the best resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.

Upgrade and integrate
Impressive as the Cinema 60 DAB is, there’s potential for future upgrade, as and when you’re ready. With its 7-channel pre-out, you can connect to a series of larger, higher quality power amps when the itch to upgrade strikes. If you’re looking to integrate the receiver into a home automation system, the Cinema 60 DAB also scores. With RS-232C, IR input and DC output, it’s easy for a professional to incorporate the Marantz into your home system.

Wide-ranging HDR support
The Cinema 60 DAB supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV, as well as Dynamic HDR. In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, the Marantz supports it.

Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Internet Radio, Spotify Connect and much more
With both Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 connectivity, it’s easy to connect all your smartphones, tablets and compatible lap/desktops and stream music wirelessly. Simply connect to your home network via Ethernet or wi-fi and access thousands of Internet radio sites via TuneIn as well as subscription services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music and more (premium accounts may be required).

Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices
For the latest in smart home tech, Marantz have made the Cinema 60 DAB compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri devices. Simply download the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill app and then just ask Alexa or the Google Assistant to perform basic functions. Using the Apple Home App, Siri voice control from your Apple iOS device brings added functionality over AirPlay 2 – including grouping devices.

HEOS built-in – for the finest multi-room audio
HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the Cinema 60 DAB is ready to go as a single ‘zone’ without any further adaptors.

DAB radio built-in
As well as the widest range of home cinema options, this Marantz AVR also features a DAB radio. Perfect for when you just want some background music, DAB (digital) radio offers a wide range of stations, including the popular BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra.

Audyssey MultEQ XT for optimised set-up
Featuring Audyssey’s MultEQ XT technology, the Cinema 60 DAB adapts itself to your room’s acoustics. Use the supplied Audyssey measuring microphone and the system tunes the AV receiver to provide the smoothest, most optimal overall listening experience for your room. If you want to take this even further, purchase the MultEQ Editor App (at additional cost) and you’ve access to advanced user settings.

Connect everything from an 8K TV to a turntable
With six HDMI inputs (3x 8K and 3x 4K), the Marantz has you covered for connecting all your HDMI-equipped devices. Twin optical and coaxial digital inputs are ideal for connecting older devices or upgrading the sound from a compatible CD/Network player. Four analogue inputs are perfect for hi-fi components, plus there’s a further, dedicated MM phono input for plugging in a turntable.

Styling that’s a breath of fresh air
More usually known for styling that’s ‘brick like’, AV receivers aren’t often credited for their design. This Marantz is different! With its pleasingly symmetrical design, rounded edges and porthole OLED display, the Cinema 60 DAB is one of those rare AVRs that you’ll be proud to have on show. Simply choose between black or silver/gold finishes for the best look in your room.
