Designed for use with high-quality external amplification like the Marantz MM8077, MM7055 and MM7025, the AV7706 is not only a superb AV processor, it is an extraordinary analogue preamplifier with Marantz’s proprietary HDAM circuitry in the preamp section, ensuring optimal channel separation, minimum crosstalk and enhanced signal to noise ratio for precise detail resolution and stereo imaging. Additionally, ELNA capacitators together with other selected components in the analogue and digital section ensure exceptional power and dynamic ability for traditional physical sources, like record players and CDs as well as any digital media. Marantz combines the latest in audio and video technology with sophisticated engineering to deliver the most versatile premium home theatre experience.

The new Marantz AV7706 provides ample connectivity options with eight HDMI inputs and three outputs. One dedicated 8K input supports 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz pass-through capability, while all other inputs support up to 4K/60Hz and 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10, 3D, BT 2020 pass-through and the latest HDCP 2.3 copy protection standard. Showcasing all the latest HDMI technologies and specifications, the AV7706 enables enthusiasts to elevate their video viewing, gaming and TV watching experience with HDR10+, Dynamic HDR, auto low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR), quick media switching (QMS), and quick frame transport (QFT) support on all inputs. The video processor can also upscale any native video source up to 8K quality. In addition, the AV7706 features HDMI eARC which supports 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® in masterful quality directly from the TV source.

For full immersion in multi-dimensional audio, the AV7706 supports the latest surround formats, including Dolby Atmos®, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology, DTS:X®, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX® Enhanced, and Auro-3D®.

The AV7706 unveils any detail in demanding scenes in action films, as well as offering the most musical audio playback when feeding an analogue signal or streaming music from leading services or listening to high resolution audio files from the private library up to FLAC192 and DSD5.6.

The AV7706 has a dedicated pre-amplifier board featuring Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module (HDAM) technology that provides ultra-fast slew rate, true wideband performance and maximum dynamic range for optimum sound quality. A separated power supply is designed to just feed the analogue pre-amplifier stage. For highest fidelity and the widest dynamic range with lowest distortion, the AV7706 uses advanced reference-class 32-bit AKM D/A converters on all channels converting the digital signal coming from the two extreme powerful Sharc Griffin Lite DSPs to the analogue domain.
