The seven-channel architecture gives you the flexibility to create an immersive surround system while Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation can add a greater sense of height and space to compatible content.
Whether it is subtle dialogue, atmospheric effects or a large cinematic soundtrack, the CINEMA 70s Series 2 is designed to deliver the balanced, detailed presentation associated with Marantz home cinema components.
Next-Generation 8K Video & Gaming
The CINEMA 70s Series 2 features six HDMI inputs, including three inputs supporting up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through.
Support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dynamic HDR and HLG helps preserve contrast, colour and detail with compatible displays and content. Gamers also benefit from features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and AMD FreeSync compatibility on supported HDMI inputs.
HDMI eARC provides a simple connection between the receiver and compatible televisions while supporting high-quality audio return from TV apps and connected sources.
HEOS Built-In Music Streaming
The Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 is equally capable as a music system. HEOS Built-in provides wireless music streaming and multi-room functionality through compatible HEOS devices.
Streaming support includes Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, TuneIn and AirPlay 2, while the receiver is also Roon Ready.
High-resolution playback support includes FLAC, WAV and ALAC up to 24-bit/192kHz, along with DSD audio streaming up to 5.6MHz.
Room Correction for Better Sound
Every room affects the performance of a home theatre system. The CINEMA 70s Series 2 includes Audyssey MultEQ XT, which measures your speakers and listening environment using the supplied calibration microphone before adjusting system parameters to suit your room.
For users looking for more advanced calibration, the receiver is also upgradeable to Dirac Live, providing additional room-correction options for more precisely tuned systems.

This flexibility makes it easy to integrate televisions, gaming consoles, streaming devices, turntables, external power amplifiers and other Hi-Fi components into one entertainment system.

One of the defining features of the Marantz CINEMA 70s Series 2 is its slimline chassis. It provides the connectivity and surround processing expected from a modern AV receiver while taking up considerably less vertical space than many full-size home theatre receivers.
Its understated Marantz styling makes it well suited to contemporary entertainment units, dedicated cinema rooms and premium two-purpose music and movie systems.
