The output power of this unit reaches 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms. 5.1-channel network AV receiver with high-quality sound and convenient functions, including AirPlay, and support for MusicCast. The receiver fits perfectly in compact racks for AV equipment. This allows you to place the system wherever you are comfortable, and at the same time it will look elegant and neat.

Marantz NR1609 review

The 7.2-channel unit, power 7 x 85 W (6 Ohms), provides full three-dimensional sound thanks to the support of the DTS: X and Dolby Atmos formats in 5.1.2-channel configuration. Audyssey MultEQ system is used to set up the speakers in accordance with the geometry and acoustic features of the room. The technology uses Dynamic Volume (normalizes the volume, which is convenient when watching broadcasts with ads) and Dynamic EQ (optimizes the frequency response). The AV receiver has one HDMI input on the front and seven HDMI inputs on the back. All of them support HDCP 2.2 protocol and 4K resolution (60 Hz), as well as HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG video standards with extended dynamic range.
