The Marantz NR1501 is the first of a new range of AV Receivers from this high end manufacturer. It provides you full functionality and convenience in a very elegant and low height cabinet design, making it much easier to fit into modern slimmer AV furniture, yet still allowing an air gap to keep this powerful unit cool.
The Marantz NR1501 nicely fits with the Marantz Blu-ray players as it has decoders for standard resolution and high definition audio like DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD built-in. Analogue video signals are up-converted to HDMI and for digital sources 4 HDMI 1.3a inputs are available. Connect your SkyHD or Freesat HD box, your DVD, game console or your camcorder and don’t worry which input you have to choose on the TV; the Marantz NR1501 will handle all.
With an On Screen Display (OSD) menu and the MRAC auto setup using a microphone, the installation is quite simple even for the non-technical user .
