Stop Watching. Start Feeling.

At Marantz, we believe true cinematic experiences come to life through sound. The CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 is the distillation of that belief — a 7.2-channel slimline AV receiver engineered to elevate everything you love about movies, from thrilling action and crisp dialogue to epic musical scores, all delivered with the precision, warmth, and emotional impact that define the Marantz sound.

Built on decades of engineering expertise and a passion for exceptional sound, the CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 brings immersive home entertainment to any space — including smaller rooms where full-size receivers won't fit. Its compact, slimline design never compromises on capability: seven channels of discrete amplification, Dolby Atmos support, six HDMI ports including eARC, an upgraded 32-bit DAC, Dirac Live room correction upgradability, and the full breadth of HEOS™ multi-room streaming — all in one beautifully considered chassis.

Next-Generation Audio Performance

At the heart of the CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 is a newly upgraded high-performance 32-bit 8-channel DAC — enhancing clarity, resolution, and dynamic range across every source. Combined with carefully selected components, Sound Master tuned performance, and Marantz's decades of audio engineering expertise, the result is exceptional sound quality whether you're watching a film, listening to music, or gaming.

Seven discrete power amplifiers deliver 50 watts per channel (8Ω) — or 70 watts into 6Ω — ensuring confident, authoritative control over a wide range of speaker configurations. Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X, and DTS Virtual:X decoding brings the full spectrum of immersive audio formats to life, placing sound precisely in three-dimensional space around and above the listener. Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction is included as standard, with Dirac Live available as an optional upgrade for those who demand the finest room calibration.

Flexible Connectivity for Modern Entertainment

Six HDMI 2.1 inputs (back panel) with HDCP 2.3 support handle every modern source — 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz pass-through, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), AMD FreeSync support, and Dynamic HDR including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. Enhanced ARC and eARC on the main output ensures the highest quality audio return from your television.

On the analogue side, three stereo analogue inputs, a Moving Magnet phono input, one optical and one coaxial digital input, and front-panel USB cover every source you own. Multichannel 7.2 pre-amp outputs allow future power amplifier upgrades, and two subwoofer outputs provide flexible bass management. Gold-plated speaker terminals across seven channels with bi-amp and Speaker A/B assignability complete a connectivity picture that is genuinely comprehensive.

Effortless Control and Setup

Setup is guided and intuitive — Audyssey MultEQ XT room measurement with the included microphone optimises speaker levels, distances, and EQ automatically. A Modern HD GUI on the porthole OLED display, a Smart Select shortcut system, and full app control via the Marantz AVR Remote and HEOS apps make daily operation effortless. IP control, IR flasher input, Marantz Remote Bus, and DC trigger output accommodate custom installation and smart home integration.

For the Soundtrack of Your Life — HEOS™ Multi-Room Streaming

HEOS™ transforms the CINEMA 70s SERIES 2 into the hub of a whole-home audio network. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music HD, Deezer, Pandora, SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, SoundCloud, Mood Mix, TuneIn Internet Radio, and Roon Ready cover every major streaming service and platform. Lossless FLAC, WAV, and ALAC up to 192kHz/24-bit, DSD at 2.8 and 5.6MHz, and gapless playback ensure high-resolution sources are handled with complete fidelity.

Multi-room capability supports two zones with independent source selection — HDMI, optical/coaxial, network, USB, and analogue sources all assignable. Bluetooth re-transmit for wireless headphones and volume control for Bluetooth transmitters extend the CINEMA 70s SERIES 2's convenience beyond the main listening room.
