Marantz NR1710 Receiver

Marantz giving triumph of design and operational ease. Satisfied with this purchase.
Well, the Marantz NR 1710 released to be a very good receiver for limited spaces.
Having a mini studio I always enjoy having good quality audio equipment and when I stop on this unit I was surprised with capabilities of this one.
I am very happy with purchase of the 7 channel receiver in very slim and compact design.
It's a bit underpowered at 50W per channel. Not a big miss but I can't ignore.

Marantz NR1609 Ultra Slim 7.2 Channel AV Receiver with HEOS

A great amp. This is a much shallower unit with a much nicer appearance.
I like sound that this item play. I use "Focal Chorus" speakers in system 2.1, and music is just awesome.
Great surround sound on dtx neural setting with 7 speakers. Surely can recommend this unit to anyone.
Love the slimness of the box as I have a limited space.
A little too bright for my b&w speakers. Maybe needs a bit of run in before it will get better.

Marantz NR1710 Receiver

Box has a strong feature set with a fine, unruffled with design that don't demure performance.
I'm very impressed with great sound performance of the unit. Highly recommend the product.
Virtual and up-mixing tech support. I really like that compact and powerful unit.
Support for the most common audio formats all the way up to Dolby Atmos as well as DTS:X. Also included up-mixing technologies which speakers any setup is using.
User interface look very pure and could use a visual update.

Marantz installed great wisdom. The receiver equipped with lot of speakers setup, 2 subwoofer, Bluetooth, wifi, LAN etc. I really love this device.
I love that unit can be controlled from smartphone via app. It's very comfortable and easy to use.
This is a great piece of AV equipment really happy with purchase and how all was handled.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Marantz NR1710 Receiver

When you look on this small device, look like connections will be in short supply considering the size the designers had to work with. But it's surprisingly it's a lot of possible connections.
The receiver was connected to Acoustics Definition DF8. The sound overall pleased. Satisfied with number of possible inputs and outputs.
Device have a USB port on front panel, so it's easy to connect flash drive with music of video.
The Unit has only one HDMI OUT port so I can use all capability of my home system.
As for me, the unit has not enough of hdmi outputs and RCA inputs.

Marantz NR1609 Ultra Slim 7.2 Channel AV Receiver with HEOS

The automatic calibration works really well to give great 5.1 or 5.7 cinema sound.
The reciver have very simple gui wizard for installation. Microphone for self calibration works perfect.
This was only budget product that had a pre out for the front speakers which I have connected to Hifi amp.
Found the audessy mic a complee waste of time as the centre channel was completely drowned out.
Setting up the av amp is a frustrating experience. The amp auto turns on when the TV and Sky switch on, there is no way to override it.
