CONNECTING MULTI CHANNEL AUDIO SOURCE

The 7.1CH INPUT jacks are for multichannel audio source such as a Super Audio CD multichannel player, DVD audio player or external decoder.

If you use these jacks, switch on the 7.1CH INPUT and set the 7.1CH INPUT level by using the SETUP MAIN MENU. See page 43.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL POWER AMPLIFIER

The PREOUT jacks are for connecting external power ampliﬁers.

Be sure to connect each speaker to the corresponding external power ampliﬁer.

You can control other Marantz products through this unit with the remote controller by connecting the REMOTE CONTROL terminals on each unit.

The signal transmitted from the remote controller is received by the remote sensor on this unit. Then the signal is sent to the connected device through this terminal. Therefore you need to aim the remote control only at the unit. Also, if a Marantz power ampliﬁer (some models excluded) is connected to one of these terminals, the power ampliﬁer’s, power switch is synchronized with this unit’s power switch.

Set the REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH on the back of other units (not the SR7002/8002) to “EXT.” (EXTERNAL) to use this feature.

Whenever external infrared sensors or similar devices are connected to RC-5 IN of the unit, be sure to always disable operation of the infrared sensor on the unit by using the following procedure.

1. Hold down the MULTI button and the MENU button on the front panel at the same time for ﬁve seconds.

2. The setting “IR=ENABLE” is shown on the FL DISPLAY.

3. Press the CURSOR buttons (1, 2) to change this to “IR=DISABLE”.

4. Press the ENTER button. Once this setting is made, the infrared sensor on the unit is disabled.

Note:

•Be sure to set to “IR=ENABLE” when external infrared sensors or similar devices are not connected. Otherwise, the unit will be unable to receive remote control commands.

5.To restore the original setting, perform steps 1 to 4 to set to “IR=ENABLE”.

SR7002, SR8002 specifications

The Marantz SR8002 and SR7002 are two of the most acclaimed receivers from Marantz, a widely respected name in the high-fidelity audio and home theater industry. These models embody a blend of advanced technology, exceptional sound quality, and aesthetic design, making them ideal for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.

The SR8002 stands out with its impressive 7.1 channel configuration and powerful amplification capabilities. It uses a unique current feedback amplifier design, which ensures a wider frequency response and lower distortion, delivering a more dynamic soundstage. The receiver offers 130 watts per channel, guaranteeing ample power for driving even the most demanding speakers. Support for various audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio further enhances the listening experience, providing immersive sound particularly suitable for high-definition movie playback.

In terms of connectivity, the SR8002 is equipped with an extensive array of inputs and outputs, including seven HDMI inputs which support 1080p and 4K resolution pass-through. This makes it compatible with an extensive range of devices, from gaming consoles to Blu-ray players.
