A: This receiver offers HDMI 2.0. The Denon AVR- X1600H and AVR- X2600H, meanwhile, are full-sized, 7.2-channel AVRs with 80 and 95wpc output, respectively. Both also support Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, and boast key features of the impending HDMI 2.1 spec (including eARC and ALLM).

Q: 2. Very happy with this product except one issue. Every time I turn it on, I have to re-select the input and the audio option. It seems to have no memory of how I last used it, so I have to hit 2 buttons every time. Is there a way to set a preference where I don't have do this?

[Yes] Easy set up, but best of all the sound is full and rich. Excited to be able to place wireless speakers in other rooms. 5

[Yes] I wanted a modern receiver that would handle my 5.1 setup and allow me to do everything through eARC. Having tried another brand and the bugs it's brought, I am super pleased to report that the Cinema 60 works exactly the way I expect it to and exactly the way I was hoping it would. The sound signature smoothes out what were rough edges from my old receiver. Through my Revel Performa 3 speaker system, I spent 3 years worried I had screwed up swapping speakers but I find this pairing allows the Revels to do what they are good at without getting harsh. I feel maybe it's a 4.5 star just because in the short month I had a competing brand I think that one had a slight edge on sound. But let's be clear - the Cinema 60 sounds great and I like my music again. I'm willing to trade that slight difference for a flawless operational experience. The Marantz went right into my system and just worked. Like... it just works. There's a lot of value in that statement I've learned. 5

Yos	09/08/2024
[Yes] This is a nice unit, no compatibility issues with devices. Unlike some HDMI switches and extractors, the unit works well with the up to date AppleTV4K. In my 18x14 room, It drives a couple bookshelf B+W speakers nicely and loud if desired. I use a powered HSU sub and a Yamaha center array connected to the pre-amp ports. Marantz/Denon removed a few convenience features from these new models. Random play and repeat are no longer USB options. The automatic configuration is quicker than my older system and works well for movie content, but I prefer unprocessed stereo for music. It does a great job with that. The unit has four programable speaker settings, and programmed my harmony remote to select the setting appropriate for the content. The manual is pretty good but lacking detail in some areas, like the music queue algorithm. Apparently not well documented in their tech data as I've been waiting two weeks for answers to a couple questions. Note that currently Marantz's service turn around is about 8 weeks. 5

Black River Dave	06/08/2024
[ARC, eARC] I returned the Cinema 60 and ended up purchasing the Cinema 50 instead. 5

Brendan M.	29/07/2024
[AM, FM] The new Marantz Cinema 70S is a triumph of design and function. If you have a small media / TV room, it might be all you need if you just run a 2.1 setup (front left, front right and powered subwoofer). Pair it with premium bookshelf speakers and you have a system that can handle music and movies wonderfully. The A-B amplification is warm and detailed, suitable for music. It has 3 4K HDMI inputs and 3 8K HDMI inputs, for some extra future-proofing. And it is luxurious box. Marantz has fully embraced being a luxury brand, and this product shows it. It's a solid unit. Could last one 20 years. It's seriously good. 5

John in Colorado	12/07/2024
[1080p to 8K UHD] Hook up was a breeze, but took some time to set the sound how I like it. Been enjoying it ever since. Replaced a Adcom GTP-860 with no regrets. Hooked on Marantz now. 5

Don G	29/06/2024
[Yes] Using it as a preamp and I’m very happy with the sound. 5

Long-time audiophile	19/06/2024
[Yes] Purchased this as an upgrade from the Marantz SR6013. Used for home theater only (I have a separate two-channel audio system for music). I was expecting an improvement but am impressed at how good the audio is. Design is beautiful. I like the new design more than I thought I would. Photos do not do it justice -- it looks a lot better in person. The new remote is first-class as well. I am more than pleased with this upgrade. 5
