RECEIVERS WITH TWO NEW FEATURE-PACKED NETWORKING MODELS
-- SR5006 and SR6006 Bring Consumers and Custom Integrators Elegant New
Solutions for Building Ultimate-Quality Home Entertainment Systems --
June 15, 2011 – Marantz America, a world leader of advanced home
entertainment solutions, is staking its claim to leadership in best-in-class audio and
home entertainment networking with the introduction of two new 7-channel
networking audio video receivers that bring consumers and professional custom
integrators a host of exciting options for creating ultimate-quality home
entertainment systems. The 110 watt-per-channel SR6006 (SRP: $1,199.99) and
the 100 watt-per-channel SR5006 (SRP: $799.99) both provide consumers with
leading-edge feature sets, while delivering heightened levels of performance,
convenience and flexibility Notably, both new receivers allows users to stream
their iTunes music from their Mac or PC, as well as music stored on their iPad,
iPhone or iPod touch with Apple's AirPlay ® *.
Both models boast an aesthetically pleasing elegant
design featuring the recognizable Marantz ® star and
porthole display, along with beneficial features like
built-in HD radio tuners, multiple HDMI 1.4a inputs (6 in
the SR5006, 7 in the SR6006), Bluetooth capability and
more.
SR5006

HDMI 1.4a, 3D Capability, Front-Panel USB for Apple Devices
Several innovative advancements make the new Marantz receivers ideal for
building expanded home entertainment networks. For example, with their HDMI
1.4a (3D/Audio Return Channel) repeating capability, both models allow users to
connect two separate displays and switch from one to the other without changing
cables. In addition, both provide upscaling of the HDMI signal to HDMI 1080 video
signal. The SR6006 includes seven HDMI v1.4a inputs (and dual outputs) with 3D
(all mandated formats), as well as DLNA v1.5 (Digital Living Network Alliance),
ensuring smooth content sharing among connected devices, while the SR5006
features six HDMI inputs. Both also feature front-panel USB inputs that are
compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch, and support playback of MP3, WMA
and WAV files, as well as provide playback control via remote (Play, Stop, FF,
BWD, Skip Forward, Random and Repeat Play), while showing music track
information on the unit’s newly designed Graphical User Interface.
Making Internet Content More Accessible; “Setup Wizard”
Marantz is committed to offering its customers new ways to bring more content
from Internet sources into user’s home entertainment systems. To this end, the
SR6006 allows for streaming of Pandora, Rhapsody, Napster and Flickr as well as
audio and photos directly from PCs. Users have access to over 14,000 Internet
radio stations and a variety of content providers such as the Rhapsody and
Napster music services**.
For unprecedented “out-of-the-box” ease of use, both receivers feature Marantz’
onscreen “Setup Wizard,” an easy-to-use instructional feature that includes
language select, speaker connection and calibration guide, speaker calibration,
plus Dynamic Volume/EQ settings, source setup and more.
Audio Technologies are Paramount in New Marantz Receivers
Marantz is a company that made its reputation in high-end audio, and the
company’s new A/V receivers reflect this unmatched expertise in a variety of
innovative and useful new ways. The SR6006, which provides users with a three-
2

zone audio networking solution and the SR5006, which offer two-zone audio
networking, both feature advanced processing and sonic enhancement
technologies to ensure a superior listening experience and compatibility with
today's highest quality sound formats. Both support audio bit-streams up to
320kbps, and feature the latest Dolby Pro Logic llz, Dolby True HD, and dts HD
decoding. Additionally, both models accept LPCM 7.1 signals from a Blu-Ray
player and have DC Triggers and RS232C.
Advanced Bluetooth Capability
Like their predecessors in the line, the Marantz SR6006 and SR5006 are
Bluetooth capable home theater receivers, designed to utilize their innovative M-
XPort (Marantz eXpansion Port) to provide access to the Marantz RX101
Bluetooth receiver (SRP: $99.99). Powered by the receiver itself, the RX101
receives audio signals from Bluetooth-enabled devices (PDAs, PCs as
entertainment devices, etc.) and sends them directly to the connected receiver,
allowing users to enjoy great sound and more flexibility from their home
entertainment sources. Users may listen to streaming audio from their Bluetoothenabled
cell phones, MP3 players, computers or other devices, including the
iPhone and iPod Touch.
