Product Description

Where do we start? How about value? This Marantz makes the upgrade path easy. You don't have to settle for "commodity-grade" performance any longer. Instead, you'll find advanced HDMI connectors and switching for your favorite A/V sources. Go on, take advantage of HDMI's digital-quality performance and the single-cable connection convenience! For conventional display devices, the SR5002 boasts two component video outputs so you can still enjoy exceptional picture quality. And there's an "upconverter" (or "transcoder") that takes outputs from legacy video sources and improves them for enjoyment on today's monitors. A Lip Synch adjustment makes sure that you hear dialog exactly when your eyes say you should - not with that unnatural delay you can experience with less-capable products. There's a second zone audio output that lets you hear a different source in another area. And you can enjoy that convenience in mono or stereo, depending on the number of speakers you have in that bedroom, den, or kitchen. Of course, there's an infrared input and a DC trigger output so you can use the SR5002 in a custom-configured system. And we haven't forgotten space either. The new, shallow chassis goes almost anywhere. And makes this Marantz even easier to enjoy.

I'm on my second Marantz amp because I upgraded from the 4000 series. I like the Marantz as it has a 'warm' sound, as opposed to, for example, a Rotel which is a superb amp but too 'clinical' for my ears. Rock, pop, classical, this amp handles them all in style. The SR5002 does what it is supposed to do, it has all the features you need, and sounds great whatever format you use. I use mine for CDs, DVDs and Apple TV. B&W speakers complement this amp perfectly. For the price, a great amp.

I first purchased an Onkyo 705. The Onkyo was very user friendly, and also had a few more bells and whistles. But I returned it because I was not happy with the "tinny" sound. Luckily, I stumbled on the Marantz. What a difference! This receiver has a very sweet sound. Music sounds great, with a warm full sound. Home theater is awesome too. I love it.

I thought that buying a Marantz would be a good thing, and buying refurbished was a good deal.............NOT, I have had nothing but problems with this unit since i got it, my opinion of Marantz products is about as low as it can be. I would also NEVER buy a refurbished piece of electronics ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
