Dolby Atmos Surround Decoding

Introduced in premier movie theaters in 2012, Dolby Atmos has become the de facto standard
for enveloping and immersive motion picture sound, and features the ability to dramatically
expand the dimensional sound experience through the use of multiple overhead loudspeakers
that can be individually addressed, to allow pinpoint acoustical imaging at precise locations within the room.
Since its introduction, Dolby Atmos has been embraced by award-winning directors,
sound designers and soundtrack mixers, and many recent blockbuster movies feature soundtracks mastered in Dolby Atmos.

Now, Marantz brings the Dolby Atmos experience home, and the AV8802 features
outputs that can be configured for 1 or 2 pairs of overhead speakers and/or add-on
Dolby Atmos speaker modules.

The Atmos decoder also features upconversion from conventional surround soundtracks to
deliver the ultimate three-dimensional experience with your favorite movies and concerts.

Auro-3D^® is the next generation three-dimensional audio standard. It provides a realistic sound
experience unlike anything before. By fully immersing the listener in a cocoon of life-like sound,

Auro-3D^® creates the sensation of actually being there. Thanks to a unique 'Height'
channel configuration, recorded acoustic reflections are reproduced by these speakers
and are heard naturally due to the fact that sounds originate from around as well as above the listener.

Advanced Front Soundstage Expansion Modes

In addition, the AV8802 features multiple front soundstage expansion modes.

DTS Neo:X | 11.1 provides additional front height and front width channel options.
Audyssey DSX also provides for front height and width channels.

Exclusive HDAM Technology and Current Feedback

Featuring exclusive Marantz HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology found
on our Reference Series components, the AV8802 incorporates multiple HDAM modules
which provide superior low noise wideband performance in an all-discrete configuration,
compared to conventional op amp ICs. HDAM technology provides an ultra fast slew rate
for true wideband response and maximum dynamic range to deliver optimum sound quality
with todayís high resolution audio formats.

In addition to HDAM technology, the AV8802 also features Current Feedback instead of the
typical voltage feedback configuration. A Marantz innovation introduced on our very first
audiophile amplifiers more than 60 years ago, Current Feedback technology provides a
wide closed-loop bandwidth and very high slew rate, delivering superior fidelity with
wideband audio sources.
