Marantz NR1501 Slimline Receiver Preview

The Marantz 7.1 NR1501 receiver may be slim in size (4" tall, 13" deep), but with 4 HDMI inputs, 3 component video, not to mention full HD audio decoding and auto calibration it's tall on features.

Slimline gives great room to breathe!

I just bought this two days ago and I am still learning the intricacy of the setup and calibration - I'll be able to give a better review once I've had time to real dig into it's nuances.

Great audio codecs and competent connection

No pre-amp out, no 6.1 analog in
