Marantz NR1200 2ch Slim Stereo Receiver with HEOS Built-in FROM JAPAN

Description: Products with the model number "NR" (New Receiver) have been used in slim AV amplifiers since the slim AV amplifier "NR1501" that was released in 2009, and the latest model "NR1710" is currently on sale. However, the "NR1200" is not an AV amplifier, but was developed as a 2ch Hi-Fi amplifier with an HDMI input. It is a new genre of product, "a 2ch Hi-Fi amplifier that matches a TV or living room." The company's slim AV amplifiers such as the NR1710 were originally released as space-saving and easy-to-use amplifiers. It is a product that is positioned to "bridge" the two worlds of Hi-Fi 2ch amplifiers and home theater AV amplifiers. However, there are many cases where people who enter a store saying "I want a 2ch amplifier with high connectivity to video equipment such as game consoles and Fire TV Sticks" do not make it to the AV amplifier section. Therefore, the NR1200 was created as a product that can make its presence felt as a product with high connectivity to video equipment even in the Hi-Fi amplifier section. The case is based on that of the NR1710. Therefore, if you look at the outside, you might think that the NR1200 is a cheaper model of the NR1710 7.1ch AV amplifier with the 5ch amplifier removed, but the inside is very different, and the NR1200 was redeveloped as a complete 2ch amplifier. Why the same case as the NR1710 is usedThe case is thin, with a height of 105mm. The reason for using the same case as the NR1710 is that in addition to being thin, it is a highly rigid and "well-made case." Specifically, it is equipped with a huge heat sink to mount and cool the NR1710's 7ch power amplifier. This heat sink runs from left to right inside the case, and is firmly screwed to both sides of the main chassis and to the bottom of the case. Since the heat sink is made of aluminum, it also functions as a "beam" and increases the rigidity of the case. The NR1200 uses this as is, including the heat sink. The rated output of the NR1200's power amplifier is 75W x 2ch (8Ω), which is higher than the NR1710's 50W. The corresponding speaker impedance is 4 to 16Ω. In AV amplifiers, many power amplifiers are attached to the heat sink, but in the case of the NR1200, a symmetrical layout is adopted in which the L/R channels of the fully discrete power amplifier are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides of the large heat sink. The left and right power lines and signal lines are of equal length, eliminating the difference in sound quality between channels, making it a design that is typical of a 2-channel Hi-Fi amplifier. The power supply transformer uses an EI core transformer of the same size as the NR1710, but the windings have been changed specifically for the NR1200, and each circuit is independent, eliminating noise from getting into the delicate analog audio circuits and power amplifier circuits. A new block capacitor (6,800μF x 2) has also been developed specifically for the NR1200. "The NR1710 AV amplifier has been improved over the generations, but there are unavoidable cost constraints. The NR1200 is 2ch, so although the product price is cheaper than the NR1710, we were able to take advantage of the cost benefits and use high-quality film capacitors like those used in Hi-Fi amplifiers," said Marantz Sound Manager Yoshinobu Ogata. Marantz Sound Manager Yoshinobu OgataThe DAC is equipped with the 8ch DAC "AK4458VN" made by Asahi Kasei Electronics, which is used in the NR1710. The DAC circuit has a double differential configuration, with 2ch for each L/R, for a total of 4ch, used for 2ch playback. This has led to reduced noise, a high signal-to-noise ratio, and a highly transparent spatial expression. Double differential configuration DAC circuitThe HDMI input uses the same technology as the NR1710, and is compatible with the latest technology. However, only 2ch PCM data can be received. When connecting to a Blu-ray player, the player converts surround sound such as Dolby Digital to PCM and outputs it, which is then input to the NR1200. The NR1200 does not have a surround decoder or the ability to play virtual surround sound. HDMI has 5 inputs and 1 output, and also supports ARC. Connect to a compatible TV with a single HDMI cable and play the TV sound from the NR1200. Rear HDMI has 5 inputs and 1 output HDMI CEC is also supported. Power synchronization with a TV connected via HDMI is possible, and the volume of the NR1200 can be adjusted from the TV remote control. All HDMI terminals are HDCP 2.3 compatible. Video from 4K-compatible tuners can also be passed through, and 4K/60p/4:4:4/24bit, 4K/60p/4:2:0/30bit, and 4K/60p/4:2:2/36bit are also supported. HDR10 and HLG are also supported. It also supports the new ALLM function of HDMI 2.1. Independent selector and volume IC are used. The analog audio circuit uses high-performance custom devices specialized for each function, such as input selector, volume, and output selector, to minimize the signal path. It is said that unnecessary circuit routing has been eliminated, resulting in a highly transparent and information-rich sound. Equipped with network audio functionEquipped with network audio function using HEOS technology. It can also play high-resolution files stored on streaming services, Internet radio, and NAS in the LAN. It can also play music files stored on USB memory. It also supports the music distribution service "Amazon Music HD", which has a lineup of over 65 million songs with 44.1kHz/16bit lossless HD sound quality and millions of songs with up to 192kHz/24bit Ultra HD sound quality. High-resolution files can be played up to 192kHz/24bit PCM and up to 5.6MHz DSD. Gapless playback of DSD, WAV, FLAC, and Apple Lossless is also possible. It also supports Bluetooth, so you can easily play music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. You can also distribute the music being played on the NR1200 to other HEOS devices connected to the same network. It also supports AirPlay 2. In the future, a firmware update will be installed to include a Bluetooth transmission function. Music being played on the NR1200 can be wirelessly transmitted and received and listened to on Bluetooth headphones, etc. It can be used for watching movies late at night. However, since the Bluetooth transmission from the NR1200 is a fixed output, Bluetooth headphones without volume adjustment functions are not supported. Bluetooth transmission function will also be installedAmazon Alexa is also supported. Just talk to it to play, stop, skip, adjust the volume, and play music from Amazon Music by specifying the song name or artist. A dedicated transformer is used to supply power to digital circuits such as the network and USB, eliminating mutual interference with analog circuits. In addition, the operating frequency of the digital power circuit has been increased to about three times the normal frequency, shifting switching noise outside the audible range where it does not affect the playback sound. In addition, shielding prevents noise from jumping between circuits, and noise that flows into the power line is removed by a decoupling capacitor. The type and constant of the capacitors inserted, such as Elna's audio-grade surface-mount capacitors, are selected after listening to the sound manager. It also has a "Direct Mode" that amplifies the input signal without processing it at all, without adjusting the M-DAX, tone control, or left/right balance, and a "Pure Direct Mode" that stops the display circuit, which is the source of noise. The speaker terminals are screw-type and gold-plated. It has two systems, allowing bi-wiring connections and switching between two sets of speakers. It also has a 2.2ch pre-out, and by adding an external power amplifier, you can improve the sound quality of the front speakers, or share the front speakers with a Hi-Fi audio system by combining it with an integrated amplifier with a power amplifier direct input. You can also add two subwoofers to reinforce the bass. It also has a Phono input that supports MM cartridges. It also has an AM/FM tuner and supports wide FM. It also has a phono input, so it can be linked to a record player. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi of 2.4/5GHz, which is said to be highly compatible with a variety of devices, including televisions. It can also be operated from the smartphone/tablet app "Marantz 2016 AVR Remote". When setting up, the AV amplifier is connected to a television and the settings are made while looking at the navigation displayed on the screen, but the NR1200 also has a setup mode that uses the television display. Images and text are used to guide you through connecting and setting up speakers, connecting to the network, and connecting to televisions and input devices. In addition, for those who do not want to connect to a television, there is also a mode that allows you to set up using only the main unit's display. Selecting "Setup on TV:NO" on the main unit's display will enter a setting mode that does not use a television. In addition to HDMI, it has 3 analog, 1 phono, 1 optical digital, and 1 coaxial digital input terminals. Outputs include 1 2.2ch pre-out, 1 zone pre-out, 1 headphone, 1 LAN, and 1 front USB. Power consumption is 210W. The external dimensions are 440 x 378 x 105 mm (width x depth x height) and the weight is 7.9 kg.
