That gives it the right architecture for a conventional 5.1 or 7.1 system, or a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos layout without adding external amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker assignment also supports bi-amping and Zone 2 use. For larger rooms or more demanding speakers, the 7.2-channel pre-outs allow the receiver to feed external power amplification while retaining its processing, switching and streaming functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDolby Atmos, DTS:X and Modern Surround Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eImmersive formats without overstating the platform\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupport includes Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, Dolby Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X and DTS Virtual:X. CINEMA 60 Series 2 does not support DTS:X Pro or IMAX Enhanced, so this model is best suited to seven-channel systems rather than customers planning a more expansive processor-led theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUpdated DAC and Marantz HDAM Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA cleaner digital-to-analogue stage for movies and music\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarantz has upgraded CINEMA 60 Series 2 with a new 32-bit 8-channel DAC section. The analogue stages use Marantz HDAM-SA2 modules and current-feedback topology, with Pure Direct available when you want the shortest practical signal path for two-channel listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matters for customers who expect an AV receiver to work as a serious music source as well as a movie hub. The design is still system-focused rather than boutique two-channel minimalism, but the analogue section is engineered with the same attention to clarity and balance Marantz applies across the CINEMA range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAudyssey MultEQ XT with Dirac Live Upgrade Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRoom correction that can grow with the system\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of the box, CINEMA 60 Series 2 includes Audyssey MultEQ XT with Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. For customers who want to go further, the platform is also upgradable to Dirac Live through a separately purchased licence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoom correction is most useful after the fundamentals are right. Speaker placement, subwoofer position, crossover choices and seating layout still matter. We recommend treating calibration as the final optimisation step rather than a substitute for good system setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8K HDMI and Gaming Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree high-bandwidth inputs for current consoles and sources\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe receiver includes six rear HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs. Three HDMI inputs support 8K\/60Hz and 4K\/120Hz pass-through at up to 40Gbps, with eARC, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, Dynamic HDR, VRR, ALLM and QFT support. AMD FreeSync is supported on HDMI inputs 4 to 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes CINEMA 60 Series 2 a sensible hub for a TV or projector system with multiple sources, while the dual HDMI outputs are useful where a room needs to feed two displays from the same receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHEOS, Roon Ready and High-Resolution Music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStreaming built into the receiver\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEOS provides network streaming and multi-room playback, with support for services including TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Spotify Connect. CINEMA 60 Series 2 is also Roon Ready and supports AirPlay 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal and network playback supports FLAC, WAV and ALAC up to 192kHz\/24-bit, plus DSD at 2.8 and 5.6MHz.
