A:AnswerHello, the Marantz Cinema 70s provides RCA pre-outputs for all channels, including a pre-output for Zone 2. These pre-outputs can connect to external amplifiers.
A:AnswerThe 8k inputs can be used to there full advantage with a device such as Xbox series x and PS5 where they can display up to 4k @120 Hz with a compatible display. Without a compatible device and display they will only display up to 4k @60hz.
A:AnswerHello,
While devices connected with HDMI cables (when CEC/HDMI Control is engaged) can talk with the Cinema 70S, the functions are only very basic such as power and play.
The remote control which is supplied is not a universal remote control. It will not control Apple TV or a DVR.
Aftermarket universal remote controls are very popular as many of them can control an entire system. Such devices can be found at Audio Video specialists.
A:AnswerWe appreciate your consideration. All Marantz receivers will share the same excellent Marantz Sound. The Marantz Cinema 70 is the perfect product when space is an issue. As you move up the line, power and features will increase.
What makes for the biggest determining factors are the speakers, the room size and your expectations. A small room with speakers with an easy load will mean less of a difference in performance between receivers. The bigger the room, the more space there is to fill with sound, and therefore the more power required. As you go further up our line of receivers, the more capable they are when the demands are greater.
A:AnswerNo. But I use a universal remote to control all of my other components and the Marantz. The Marantz controls are limited to volume, power on/off, etc.
