Product Information

With a slim profile that is half the height of a traditional AV receiver, the new Marantz NR1711 delivers exceptional performance and sound quality. Marantz, like all electronics manufactures, receives products returned for various reasons. In 2011 consumers returned 17 billion dollars in electronics globally, of which less than 5% were found to be defective! Once a product has been opened it must be resold as refurbished and can’t be resold as new again. The history and reason why a product was returned is not provided to us, thus we can’t provide any additional details regarding its past. All products are processed by Marantz certified technicians, where they are fully tested, repaired (only if necessary), and retested again to ensure the highest quality control. Each unit must pass a complete battery of test before it can be titled a "Marantz Factory Refurbished" product. Along with the Audyssey system there are a couple more features that are included in the suite with the Dynamic EQ being one of them that keeps the dynamic levels as well as clarity even at low volume. The second feature that is included is the Dynamic Volume that balances sudden volume spikes when there are shifts between TV programs and commercials. Enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound in your home theatre and simultaneously play stereo sound from the same source or another source in a separate room. Simply connect a pair of speakers to the multi-room amplified outputs or hook-up an additional stereo amp and speakers to the Zone 2 pre-outs. As for the actual audio we find support for the most common formats including Dolby Atmos as well as DTS:X. Also included are Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X up-mixing technologies which are capable of remixing mono, stereo or multi-channel formats into as many speakers your setup is using.

Easily connect your analog turntable to the receiver and enjoy the pure intent of each recording within your vinyl collection. Zone 2 compatible audio sources: HDMI audio, optical/coaxial digital inputs, analog audio inputs, AM/FM tuner, USB, Bluetooth, and HEOS music appsOne big plus is that the Bluetooth execution permits wireless headphone pairing, for late-night listening. HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all kinds of different content through the NR1711. Listen to internet radio stations, or topopular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL. Network music was delivered with impressive clarity whether streamed using the receiver’s TIDAL functionality, or using the HEOS app to send music from our NAS drive. Lately we’ve been taken with something even older than ELP: Nina Simone’s inaugural LP from the late 1950s, Little Girl Blue. In remastered stereo form streamed from TIDAL, it was as though a portal had been opened up between our Australian office and a recording studio in 1959 America.

Powering 50W per channel (8-ohm, 20Hz – 20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2ch. drive), enjoy your favourite movies in striking quality. LFE + Main: The LFE + Main setting boots the bass sound by feeding the low-frequency signal to both the loudspeakers and the powered subwoofer, regardless of audio format or listening mode. The Marantz NR1711 is half the height of a traditional AV receiver, but doesn’t sacrifice connectivity or features. Utilize HEOS® Built-in multi-room streaming or AirPlay 2 technology to enjoy your favorite music in any room of your home for a wireless, whole-home audio experience. Play the same song in every room or select a different song in each connected room — the choice is yours. The new NR1711 stores two Audyssey settings and switches between the two settings on the fly, giving you freedom to tweak your listening experience based on content or listening environment.We enjoyed watching movies with the Cinema 70s as the receiver provides six HDMI inputs with 4K HDR10+ support and 7.2-channel surround sound with Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. We were able to easily create a three-dimensional sound setup without the need for any overhead speakers. In addition, the Audyssey MultiEQ made creating a three-dimensional sound experience even more effortless by analyzing our room’s acoustics to reduce reflections and other issues while optimizing the speaker output. With AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Alexa and Google Assistant built in, you’ll not be stymied when streaming, and its 3D audio performance is hugely entertaining. Marantz NR1711 design – Half the stature of traditional AV receivers, but not short on connectivity Much of the music was from an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB turntable. And, no, we didn’t use the Bluetooth connectivity on this turntable, although we suppose we could have. We switched off the turntable’s internal pre-amp and used the Marantz receiver’s phono inputs.

Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free. We do not include any form of insurance terms such as accidental damage or loan equipment cover. We were always very fond of this slim-line series and this because they are exceptionally designed for those that want a fully featured AV receiver but don’t have the space for a full sized unit. As such the NR1711 offers an elegant solution that can fit almost anywhere and comes with an astonishing list of features that will surely please even the most demanding of users. The caveat is that only one input, helpfully labelled 8K, supports 4K/120 passthrough and 8K sources at 60fps. And there's still only one HDMI output. Bit/192kHz DACs: The Marantz NR1711 utilizes advanced reference-class 32-bit/192khz digital-to-analog converters (DACs) on all channels for optimum fidelity and the widest dynamic range with the lowest distortion. This ensures consistent high-fidelity and precise channel matching across all channels for the ultimate listening experienceEnjoy the most musical performance from a compact, slim chassis. At half the height of a traditional AV receiver, the NR1711 delivers the musical sound that is synonymous with Marantz. Audyssey Suite with Dual Presets: The NR1711 features the Audyssey suite of powerful DSP features - including MultEQ speaker/room calibration, Dynamic Volume, and Dynamic EQ. You can even perform Audyssey measurements for two different speaker settings, including 2.0 for music listening and 5.1.4 for movie surround.

In addition to passing through those signals, the unit can convert lower resolutions all the way up to 8K. The frame rate is preserved. Since the NR series is mostly destined to be used in more confined spaces and small rooms our testing is a bit different compared to a fully sized AV receiver that offers much more power in comparison. Firstly we test a movie using a standard 5.1.2 Atmos setup with two height speakers connected in the middle of our listening area and then we retest the movie by using a simpler 5.1 channels system and using the included Virtualizer to determine if we can get a similar performance but without the need to add dedicated height speakers. Immersive Surround Sound: The Marantz NR1711 AV receiver goes beyond regular surround with the latest immersive surround sound formats from Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The NR1711 offers 7-channels of amplification with support for up to a 5.1.2ch home theater speaker setup.Latest HDMI support:Featuring one dedicated 8K input and one output for 8K quality video from 8K source devices; 8K upscaling available on all six HDMI ports.
