SR8200 THX Select Digital Surround Receiver
For nearly 50 years, Marantz has been setting the standard for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. Unlock
the power and performance of the SR8200 and experience unrivaled depth and intensity in home entertainment.
Experience the emotion
The SR8200 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal 192 kHz/24
bit D/A converter in each of the six channels. When reproducing 2 channel stereo, these DACs are automatically
switched in dual differential mode, to perform the highest quality D/A conversion. In the SR8200, all of the
digital, analog and control circuits are separated and extensively shielded in their own enclosures to prevent
crosstalk and other unwanted interference. Independent power supplies are incorporated for the FL display,
audio and video sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected
customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had
intended.
Technology to last
The SR8200 incorporates the latest generation of digital surround sound decoding technology such as THX
Select, THX Surround EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1, Neo:6, Dolby Pro-Logic II (movie and
music). In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs and a RS232C
communication port, the SR8200 is upgradeable to tomorrowÕs technology, today!
Unleash the power
The SR8200 features a fully discrete 6 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 120 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the six channels. It
employs a massive EI power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. Current
feedback topology allows total operation stability, while requiring minimal amounts of negative feed-
back, resulting in an excellent transient frequency response and superb sonic transparency. This
design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the most demanding action
movie soundtracks and full range (multi-channel) music discs. Through its ability to generate very
high output voltages, the SR8200 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.
Installation friendly
The SR8200 is designed and engi-
neered with extensive feedback from
custom installation experts, dealers
and consumers. It features multi-
room/multi-source, 2 assignable DC
triggers, a RS232C communication
port, heavy duty speaker binding
posts and an extensive array of both
analog and digital inputs/outputs.
With 6 assignable digital inputs (7 in
total), 1 scart input, SACD Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs and a multi room speaker and
OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR8200 can output the OSD
information through the professional grade SCART output as well as the Y/C(S-video) and composite
video outputs. This highly desirable feature is
ideal for anyone utilizing a HD ready
display device.
Ease of control
The SR8200 includes the
RC3200 programmable touch
screen learning remote control,
with two-way communication.
Information regarding the status of the
SR8200 such as source, surround mode, etc
are all displayed on the back- lit touch screen
panel. Other features of the remote control include: 1
MB of memory, a computer connection (via RS232C) to
upload customized control codes, programmable macros and
a wide carrier frequency range for compatibility with other
brands. All of these functions enable friendly, extensive and versatile
control during setup and operation.
