Superior Construction and Sound Quality
Marantz AV8805 boasts outstanding construction for the finest, authentic music reproduction and movie soundtracks. Extremely rigid chassis — a robust foundation for all boards transmitting sensitive audio signals — leaves no room for vibration-induced microphonic effects. The large toroidal power transformer delivering substantial currents to storage capacitors is mounted on an additional 5mm thick aluminum base for exceptional stability. All electronics are shielded with galvanic copper plating on the main chassis, guaranteeing the best grounding connection at all times and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. A total of 17 HDAM single-board modules are used to achieve optimal channel separation and reference level sound. Finally, all components are covered by a heavy top lid consisting of three parts. Equipped with 15 proprietary amplifier modules on discrete HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) elements for maximum channel separation. Powerful frame construction with a massive top lid.
Experience every dimension with Dolby Atmos — an object-oriented audio format that creates complete immersion in the sound field. Enjoy 7.1-channel surround sound plus six high channels or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers for the ultimate home theater experience — including additional Dolby Surround system mixing for old sources.
DTS:X uses sound source placement to offer stunning three-dimensional surround sound experiences at home. The included DTS Neural:X processing system gives your favorite movies a realism that is unmatched in traditional theaters.
For remote control and compatibility with other components in your home theater, the AV8805 has a wired IR (IR) input and output on the rear panel, as well as a pair of 12V trigger outputs. For direct communication with external home automation equipment, the AV8805 has an RS-232C serial port. It is also Crestron Connected certified for quick integration with Crestron automation system equipment.
Optimally place a single subwoofer in your room for the best bass response. Depending on its placement, low frequencies in the listening area may have peaks or dips at certain frequencies. The AV8805 supports two subwoofers: by installing them in different locations, you can smooth out the low-frequency response and achieve more accurate bass in a wider listening area.
The AV8805 can provide everything you need for your family's entertainment: you can have surround sound in the main room and simultaneously listen to stereo from a different source in another part of the house. With 13-channel signal processing in the processor, you have wide-ranging possibilities for building various configurations.
With HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function for Smart TV televisions, you can command the Marantz AV8805 from the TV remote. Simply set the "HDMI control" parameter to ON, then also set "Smart Menu" to ON and start controlling the processor from the TV remote. The TV Smart Menu screen provides direct access to source selection, surround sound modes, main settings menu, and Smart Select configuration presets.
The AV8805 remote control features 4 Smart Select buttons: each memorizes the selected setting — input, volume, and Audyssey configuration — for a specific source. By pressing just one of these buttons, you can instantly set up the AV8805 to work with any device — from a Blu-ray player to a TV set-top box or favorite internet radio station.
For easy setup, the clear and intuitive display graphics on the AV8805 guide the user through all setup and configuration steps. The exclusive Setup Assistant and Quick Start feature ensure guidance on setting up and optimizing critical settings for the best audio quality, no matter what your system is.
