The SR5004 from Marantz is an audio and video receiver with a built-in 90 watt amplifier and 7.1 surround sound. It enables you to connect up to 10 speakers (in different rooms if you desire) and route all of your audio and video sources to the speakers. The SR5004 includes a feature called Dynamic Volume, which balances the sound levels, so you won't have to turn down the volume when an annoyingly loud commercial comes on.
Setting up the SR5004 is made easier with its built-in graphic user interface. Connect a TV or display to its HDMI output, and the SR5004 will fill the screen with an easy to understand color interface for adjusting your system. The SR5004 will also transcode analog video inputs and scale them to 1080p out of its HDMI output. This means that you can plug your analog video devices into the SR5004, and view them all through a single HDMI output connected to your digital TV.
A full AM/FM tuner is included, as well as connections for both SIRIUS and XM satellite radio tuners. It can decode HDCDs, as well as decode Direct Stream Digital (DSD) formats. When it's time to watch a movie, the SR5004 can supply you with 7.1 surround sound, with the ability to power 9 passive speakers. A dedicated preamp subwoofer output is supplied as well. For the best fidelity possible, the audio components operate on a separate circuit board than the video elements and the power supply. Marantz has been delivering excellent sounding products for over 55 years, and the SR5004 proudly upholds this tradition.
