With most endeavors, it’s the devilish details that distinguish
the great from the also-rans. And the Marantz SR6003 surround sound A/V receiver
definitely ranks as one of the greats.
You’ll see this immediately in the elegantly simple front
panel where aluminum extrusions and glass-reinforced resin meld their respective
qualities to shield internal circuitry while absorbing extraneous resonance's.
Only three controls interrupt the smooth three-dimensional flow –
power/standby, input selection, and volume. A drop-down door hides secondary
controls until you need them. The result is another visual milestone in the
Marantz pantheon of superb industrial designs.
A high-density fluorescent front panel display gives you all
the feedback you need to set up and operate your SR6003. In addition, a color
GUI (graphical user interface) appears on your TV to help make system setup
simple and error-free.
Befitting Marantz’s engineering heritage, the SR6003’s
circuits derive operating current from a high capacity linear power supply built
around an oversize EI-core transformer and Marantz-custom storage capacitors.
The seven channel in-line amplifier array keep high voltages
isolated from low-level circuitry for cleaner sound. Each channel produces up to
100 continuous watts for exacting control of difficult speakers. A finned
continuous aluminum heat sink keeps power transistors well within their SAO
(safe area of operation) even under high-drive conditions.
The balance of the SR603’s audio circuitry sits on a
separate circuit board to prevent contamination by video or control signals. As
an example of the dedication Marantz engineers devote to continuous refinement,
we’ve relegated digital and analog segments to their own section of the audio
board.
You’ll enjoy the latest high bit-rate audio formats such as
Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD in both High Resolution and Master Audio implementations,
as well as DSD (the data structure behind the SA-CD) and legacy formats such as
Dolby Digital, etc. thanks to an advanced Texas Instruments microprocessor.
The SR6003 lets you get the most out of these sources
regardless of your home theater room by including Audyssey’s remarkable MultEQ
system. After “listening” to test tones sent to all your speakers, it
provides a virtually perfect acoustical environment for up to six individual
seats. In addition, MultEQ detects speaker wiring errors resulting in “out of
phase” performance losses, automatically configures bass management for ideal
integration of subwoofers and full range speakers, and calculates proper delays
and speaker levels to produce the best possible surround soundfield.
Marantz’s proprietary M-DAX (Marantz Dynamic Audio eXpander)
makes even compressed audio signals (MP3 files, AM/FM broadcasts, etc.) sound
closer to CDs than you ever thought possible. As it dynamically analyzes a
compressed signal, MDAX recreates the missing high frequency spectrum for your
enhanced enjoyment.
You‘ll probably appreciate MDAX most when you take advantage
of the SR6003’s front panel USB input. Not only will you have easy access to
your favorite playlists, but they’ll sound better, too!
Video performance? It’s every bit equal to the SR6003’s
audio circuitry. Three HDMI inputs, all version 1.3 capable, and two HDMI
outputs help you connect your high definition TVs to the newest source
components. The SR6003’s wide-bandwidth HDMI circuitry is ready to bring you
advances like Deep Color and xvYCC Color Space for visual reality that exceeds
your expectations. Need more HDMI inputs? Just add a Marantz VS3002 for up to
eight HDMI sources.
For older but still valued analog video sources, the SR6003
includes extensive video format conversion and scaling capabilities thanks to
the new i-Chips Technology video signal converter. This remarkable VSC accepts
any video signal from 480i to 1080i and upscales it to the resolution of your
choice. It even provides HDMI output for lower-resolution signals. So you’ll
even be able to convert 480i images to full 1080p format and view your
videotapes through the HDMI link to your high definition TV. How’s that for
maximum enjoyment?
You’ll also find dual component video outputs for additional
TVs either in the same room or in different areas of your home. These complement
analog and digital Zone 2 audio outputs, making the SR6003 an ideal starting
point for a whole-house entertainment system.
The SR6003 provides inputs for either XM or Sirius adaptor so
you can enjoy your choice of satellite programming. (Yes, you’ll need a
subscription to the service of your choice.)
Other conveniences include an updated backlit remote
controller, the ability to lock out front panel controls so your favorite
settings can’t be disturbed by accident, and a shorter chassis that fits
easily in a rack or on a shelf. A variety of system integration options (RS-232
communications port, DC trigger output, and a flasher input) let you enjoy your
SR6003 in any system from a simple one-room theater to the most complex
multi-zone entertainment system.
Although its capabilities are superb, please remember that
each feature in the SR6003 wasn’t included just for the sake of “bragging
rights”. Instead, Marantz engineers carefully examined each circuit and
operational aspect to assure both superb performance and easy access.
No, we didn’t design the SR6003 for spec sheets. We designed
it to bring you the quality you deserve. That’s what has made Marantz a
premier home entertainment icon for almost six decades. And it’s what you can
put your trust in today.
From its sleek compound-curve front panel to the multiple control
terminals, the SR6003 surround sound receiver contains a stunning array of
technologies to increase your A/V enjoyment. Seven amplifier channels, each
capable of delivering 100 continuous watts. Full HDMI 1.3 capability. A complete
array of new processing technologies. The SR6003 demonstrates once again that
Marantz leads the way to home entertainment.
