Now here's an easy way to build a home theater system. The Marantz ER2500 combines an extremely capable 6.1-channel receiver, surround sound processor, and DVD player, all in one chassis. It saves you money, ends component hook-up hassles, conserves space, and introduces you to Marantz-level performance. So sit back, fire up your favorite DVD, and enjoy the action.
No Wimp Factor Here
With the ER2500S, you don't sacrifice power for the sake of convenience. There's no 'wimp factor' involved. Each of the six internal amplifiers (plus a seventh for the subwoofer) produces 100 watts output, immersing you completely in movie-house quality surround sound. Thanks to highly efficient digital circuitry, the amplifier stages run much cooler than you might expect for long, trouble-free operation.
The built-in DVD player is packed with features, too. It boasts a high-speed 54 MHz video D/A converter for lifelike, detailed video. The progressive scan output with 3:2 pulldown delivers smooth, film-like pictures on compatible TVs and monitors. Audio conversion is fully ready for high definition 192 kHz / 24-bit sources, too.
Advanced microprocessors handle a variety of surround formats as well as assure that the ER2500S expertly decodes your favorite disc types. It will decode Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS (ES, Discrete 6.1/Matrix 6,1, Neo-6) surround sound formats. And that?s not all. It also plays DVD video, DVD-R/RW, SVCD, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA, and JPEG formats.
The ER2500S even includes a built-in AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets, as well as inputs for three external audio sources and two A / V sources.
