The NR1601 also features support for the new Dolby Pro Logic IIz system which can give 'height' to the soundstage by driving two speakers positioned above your screen (as well as the normal fronts and centre). This creates extra space and a more realistic soundfield, meaning you feel even more involved in the film
With its on-screen display and auto-microphone calibration, the NR-1601 is also really easy to set-up and use. Once calibrated with your speakers, it will deliver a precise, controlled and hugely enjoyable soundstage that will breath new life into movies and music alike. If you have an iPod or an iPhone, you can take advantage of the direct digital transfer facility of the '1601. Just attach you Pod to the front-panel USB socket and you can can play your music through the receiver using its high quality DAC, giving much improved sound..
Attractive slimline styling, superb sound and great functionality make the Marantz NR1601 a terrific, yet affordable AV receiver.
