Marantz SR7500 Receiver 110w X 7 Ch Review

The SR7500 features THX Select certification and Marantz Room Acoustic Calibration (M.R.A.C.). THX Select certification means that you’ll hear movie soundtracks as the director and sound editor intended. You’ll hear the Marantz touch brought by using the finest capacitors, resistors, and other internal components. Seven 105 Watt “Current Feedback” amplifiers deliver immediacy and impact. M.R.A.C. corrects the acoustic variables in every home theater system by analyzing your room with microprocessor accuracy and correcting for anomalies. The SR7500’s video pedigree derives from format conversion with Line Memory and Time Base Correction to eliminate artifacts that mar reproduction on today’s “fixed pixel” monitors. Other features include a pre-programmed learning remote, front panel A/V inputs, RS232 port for extreme control, 2 direct IR inputs, and 2 DC “triggers” for custom installation applications. And, of course, the peace of mind that our three-year warranty gives you. THX® is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX resulted from George Lucas’ desire to reproduce the movie soundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie theater and in the home theater. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from a movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. When the THX mode of the SR7500 is on, three distinct THX technologies are automatically added: Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie in a home environment. These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighter for a large movie theater. Re-EQ compensates for this and prevents the soundtracks from being overly bright and harsh when played in a home theater.
