Q: QuestionCan this unit be used with the marantz SR 7012 receiver?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello and thank you for your question. The SR7012 has its own pre amp built in and cannot be used with the AV7706. I recommend pairing the AV7706 with the Marantz MM8077 and the Marantz MM7055.Answered by Marantz Team
Q: QuestionHas the HDMI 2.1 "Bug" been corrected in the AV7706?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYes, in fact, the issue was never an issue, it was a configuration problem. The PS5 and nVidia RTX30xx cars are confirmed to be working. The Xbox Series X still does not work, but it is believed to be on the Xbox's side.

- A: AnswerHi MiketheD, It is largely down to global inflation in our supply chains. We have been absorbing price increases from our suppliers for some time now, but we can no longer do so. If the AV7706 is still listed for less on a dealer website, a rapid purchasing decision may be wise as the changes may not have gone live in our dealer network yet.
Answered by Marantz Team
- A: AnswerHello Ty, The AV7706 is a Pre Amplifier and requires a separate power amplifier. Consider pairing it with a Marantz MM8077 and MM7055 for 11 channels of power. -MM7055 140W a channel (8 ohms) and 170W a channel (6 ohms) RMS Power. -MM8077 150 W a channel (8 ohm) and 180 W a channel (6 ohm) RMS Power. Please also consider one of our AV receivers SR8015.

Excellent Pre-Pro
I took a chance on this processor and I have not regretted it. I've been using this in my 7.2.4 home theater for the past two years and it does a great job. I see no need to upgrade anytime soon as it comes loaded with so many features. It works great out of the box but you get the best out of it after you calibrate it. Get the paid MultiEQ app and use that to calibrate it for the best performance. I paired this with some Emotiva amps to drive my speakers.

Marantz Upgrade
This unit replaces my Marantz (2011) AV7005 processor that recently self "retired". Being that this unit is 11 years later in the line, the feature set and sound processing are superior. The unit is connected to a 5.2.2 system consisting of the AV7706, B&W CMS2 speakers, NHT 200 watt amps, HSU/Earthquake 15" subs, SVS Prime Altos (purchased after the processor), Oppo and PS4 source units and a Panasonic 3d Plasma Display. Once connected and tuned (room correction) I played various hi rez 2.0/5.1 music on sacd, dvd audio and Blu-ray. What a difference 11 years can make in processing. The sound produced was clearer less muddy and the room correction is much more advanced that the first gen. Also adding Atmos processing for front "height" made Atmos encoded movies sound much fuller (millage may very by movie). I'm not going to get into the feature set because if you are reading this you know what it/they are. I would recommend this unit as it is the least expensive on the market, sounds great and and will be future proof for the next 10 years.
