0.1% THD 1.0% THD
2 Channels Continuously Driven, 8-Ohm Loads 128.7 watts 168.8 watts
2 Channels Continuously Driven, 4-Ohm Loads 201.7 watts 235.3 watts

The Marantz passed all of our usual video test benchmarks, though it exhibited the slight rolloff in chroma resolution we see with many AVRs. This result is visible with a test pattern but not likely to be noticeable with program material.—Rob Sabin
