Marantz Century series receivers reach new heights of flexibility and capability in
home entertainment components. These multi-mode receivers can reproduce stereo
music with subtle, delicate realism. With the transparency that Marantz is so
well known for. Yet they can do far more.
All three
Century receivers feature system remote control, four power amplifiers ( five
on RS-3559), high-current amplifier design, oversized power transformers,
illuminated alphanumeric display centers, station name display, preset scan,
and are compatible with future standards for residential BUS remote control
systems. And the RS-3359 features video sharpness control and video
dubbing;
Superscope FX sound, which brings to the home music listening and
theatre experiences a highly effective combination of technologies Dolby
Surround Pro Logic with its highly effective logic steering, rear effects
channels, and center dialogue channel. Digital delay to create a feeling of
environmental spaciousness. Subwoofer capability to provide a solid foundation
to the sound. And side-fill channels, for a heigh tened sense of realism.
The RS-3559
is equipped with Marantz unique Thermal tunnel, that keeps the receiver
sounding open and transparent at all power levels. In traditional power
amplifier designs, sound deteriorates when output transistors heat beyond their
efficient thermal operating range. With standard technology heat sinks cannot dissipate heat as fast as
transitor temperatures rise under high power conditions. The thermal tunnel
solves this problem by using assisted convection cooling under thermostatic
control. At low power levels the thermal tunnel functions as a normal heat
sink. As power dissipation rises, the thermal feedback system informs the
master control circuitry, which operates a low-speed high-volume air circulator
to accelerate cooling within the tunnel. As temperature rises, the circulation
speed increases, keeping the output transistors in their ideal thermal range,
for lowest distortion under all conditions.
The new
Century series receivers Complete. Sophisticated. Flexible. Elegant transparent
sound that's picture perfect.
RS-3559
Features:
Alphanumeric
information center simplifies receiver operation, displaying key operating
modes and information at all times.
CD Direct
switch instantly bypasses signal processing circuitry for maximu signal purity
with compact discs.
Preset scan
lets you sample up to 30 stations, each for a few seconds.
