Enjoy home theater thrills
One of the things I enjoy most in the world is watching a 4K Blu-ray disc on my surround sound system — the emotional and imaginative experience is simply incredible. The Marantz SR5015 home theater receiver can help you experience the same in your home.

The ‘5015 is one of my top receiver picks for 2020, offering fantastic performance with movies, music, and video games. Let’s take a closer look.

Marantz SR5015 7.2-channel home theater receiver
The SR5015 delivers high-performance surround sound with movies, TV shows, and video games.

Ideal for a Dolby Atmos system
The seven-channel SR5015 is ideal for powering a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ system — that’s the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus a pair of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead effects.

You can also go with a 5.1-channel setup in your home theater space, and use the extra two channels for music in another room.

Advanced video processing for gaming and more
Marantz made sure the SR5015 is compatible with the latest video technology. One of its six HDMI inputs supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video content (think Sony’s PlayStation® 5, or the Xbox Series X).

The other five HDMI inputs support 4K at 60 frames per second — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player or an Apple TV.

Music in one room or many
This receiver also lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Apple AirPlay 2. Or, use the built-in phono input to hook up your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive or networked computer.

HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all kinds of different content through the SR5015. Listen to internet radio stations, or to popular subscription services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL.

You can also integrate the SR5015 into a wireless multi-room audio system with compatible speakers or streaming components. Check out my hands-on review of a few HEOS-enabled speakers to learn more about how this platform works.
