HDMI 1.4a, 3D Capability, Front-Panel USB for Apple Devices
Several innovative advancements make the new Marantz receivers ideal for building expanded home entertainment networks. For example, with their HDMI 1.4a (3D/Audio Return Channel) repeating capability, both models allow users to connect two separate displays and switch from one to the other without changing cables. In addition, both provide upscaling of the HDMI signal to HDMI 1080 video signal.

Both also feature front-panel USB inputs that are compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch, and support playback of MP3, WMA and WAV files, as well as provide playback control via remote (Play, Stop, FF, BWD, Skip Forward, Random and Repeat Play), while showing music track information on the unit’s newly designed Graphical User Interface.

Making Internet Content More Accessible; “Setup Wizard”
Marantz is committed to offering its customers new ways to bring more content from Internet sources into user’s home entertainment systems. To this end, the SR6006 allows for streaming of Pandora, Rhapsody, Napster and Flickr as well as audio and photos directly from PCs. Users have access to over 14,000 Internet radio stations and a variety of content providers such as the Rhapsody and Napster music services**.

For unprecedented “out-of-the-box” ease of use, both receivers feature Marantz’ onscreen “Setup Wizard,” an easy-to-use instructional feature that includes language select, speaker connection and calibration guide, speaker calibration, plus Dynamic Volume/EQ settings, source setup and more.

Audio Technologies are Paramount in New Marantz Receivers
Marantz is a company that made its reputation in high-end audio, and the company’s new A/V receivers reflect this unmatched expertise in a variety of innovative and useful new ways.

Additionally, both models accept LPCM 7.1 signals from a Blu-Ray player and have DC Triggers and RS232C.

Advanced Bluetooth Capability
Like their predecessors in the line, the Marantz SR6006 and SR5006 are Bluetooth capable home theater receivers, designed to utilize their innovative M-XPort (Marantz eXpansion Port) to provide access to the Marantz RX101 Bluetooth receiver (SRP: $99.99). Powered by the receiver itself, the RX101 receives audio signals from Bluetooth-enabled devices (PDAs, PCs as entertainment devices, etc.) and sends them directly to the connected receiver, allowing users to enjoy great sound and more flexibility from their home entertainment sources.
