I think the biggest selling point for this big boy is that it has the redesigned HDAMs making it measure really well (check out Audioholic's review for details). Also, it's built in Japan, has a toroidal transformer and a monolithic amp design.
One thing you gotta love is the fact that this receiver is built in Japan. Not many electronics are made in Japan anymore. If you’re a Denon fan, you gotta go with the AVR 6700, AVR8500, or A110 if you want your receiver made in Japan. The copper plated chassis plate on the SR8015 is a super nice touch!
I will admit to being a simpleton when it comes to major AVR components, but your explanation of each of the outputs and inputs on this AVR was extremely educational for me. I struggle with using my current AVR and it is a simple Sony unit with just 5.1 capabilities. But I did enjoy you explaining all the functions on this Marantz unit. Still a top name in electronics. Again, thanks so much.
Your tour through the back was just right for me, didn't assume I knew all the acronyms and didn't overload with "could do this or could do that," but hinted at options to look into later, after we first get set up to play the damn TV.
Awesome review! Would like to see how the 13.1 processor is being used. Kind of confused on how to use the 13.1 processor vs the amplification and to know why does Marantz and Denon show what appears to be 13 amplification on the receiver. How does it all work?
It’s not nearly time to worry about 8k ports. I have seen 8k content on an 8k television, and was pretty hard-pressed to see a significant increase in picture quality. And just a pet peeve of mine, “seven DOT one, seven DOT two...” saying POINT instead of DOT sounds much better. I actually have never heard anyone say “DOT,” when describing speaker channels.
Great vid. Perfect level of detail 👍🏻 Just had one of these fitted in my home theatre. Will be fully commissioned soon. Can’t wait to hear and see it in action.
I own Marantz SR8012 and used to have Denon X3500H. While these 2 models are not in the same class to be compared, I can admit that the SR8012 is a far superior product. It's much better than Denon for music and still comparable for movie. Denon produces clinical and clean sound while Marantz is warm, detailed and musical. Denon has more punch for movie soundtracks but Marantz still gives you a satisfatory result. At the end of the day it's a personal choice. SR8012 is a Mammoth reciever built in Japan using superior electronic parts.
Good info! I finally learned thanks to you the purpose of Pre Outs. But what is actually output, is it an analog stream? Or is it a processed stream. Also need to know what is “Pure Direct”. Can you explain that please?
Great presentation, all of it useful. More than 7 channels and you lose directionality as well as power. It's more fun to hear the sound come from different places rather than blend. Even 5.1 is best for most homes
Excuse me, guys, I am a 5.1.2 speaker. I want to connect the center and floor three-way bi-amps and surround them normally all the way, and all the way to the sky channel! I wonder if 8015 can allow me to connect like this? Is there such a setting in the settings options?

Most 8k TVs have at least two HDMI 2.1 inputs. If you want both consoles to be connected all the time, one of the consoles must be connected directly to the TV and use ARC (or eARC) to get its audio to the receiver.
Need more info on the preout section and preamp mode like can preamp mode be used just on certain speakers like mains to disconnect the internal amps and add more power to the mains for 2 channel listening and if sub still works in this configuration. I count 13 sets of binding posts so how does one use all 13 after adding the external amp? Never too much information imho as I am coming from an old 5.1 avr that just wont die.
its a beast but recievers are becoming to damn expensive, if we are to judge by components they even dont posses teh latest dac implementation. Im abit dissapointed in Marantz choice of dacs on this one... even the onkyo used akm 4490 ones
Streaming surround sound? Streaming does not support surround sound. 4K players with audio output being phased out. OPPO 205 4K player no longer produced price for NOS $8000. and Panasonic DP-UB9000 being discontinued. Also HDMI cable has lower power for audio output. If you buy a surround sound system, there is no way to listen ? There is no info I can find that talks about this? Could I please get some comments about this.
I had this amp for about 2 weeks, tbh, it sucks. It couldn't beat out my 15 year old Yamaha avr. The Bluetooth was absolutely horrible. The volume was terrible, and it had no better clarity than the old yamaha. It had more channels, but most of them were for 3d sound, which is one thing the 7.2 yamaha does have (along with HDMI inputs). Total waste of money and the thing puts off so much heat I was worried it would melt. Heos didn't work at all with an android phone/tablet. I'm sure if you want to wire your house to run everything from this it might be good, but I am not doing that. Hard pass.
Very disappointed on marantz larest models very poor quality sound amplipfier can not out put bass from 80hz to 20hz it is saturated on medium and poor on high frequency it's an amateur amp.

So how has it been so far?
Great unboxing video. Not too much. Can't wait for a full review and comparison video.
did you try input 4k hdr and let it output 8k hdr? it works? my denon can not, already returned my unit.
thank you . brief and to the point.
what a beast
A beast indeed
Thanks for all the info. Im new to this and that helped a lot. I think I'm ordering one from you today. Cheers
20:11 20:12 excellent informative video!!!
That's a beast I just brought a Onkyo that's pretty crazy sounds can't imagine what this sounds like awesome 😎
If you have a old tech Laser Disc player, you can then hook it up on this machine using the composite video input & stereo (L&R) connections.
I was going to do a comparison video between this and the NAD T758... But I could tell you this from now. Get the Marantz :)
Great video.
and what about denon 8500h?)
Thanks for all the detail--very helpful
Absolutely!
Id love to see a setup video for all those height channels. That’s the only thing that confuses me
It's amazing cinema machine!!😵 wooow!!👍👍 beautiful!!
helpful! Thank you.
Would love to see direct comparisons between Denon and Marantz

Denon & Marantz have the same parent company, Denon is their consumer brand while Marantz is the premium brand.
You made me fall in love with it can you guys ship to Uganda please let me know help me to choose between maratz sr 8015 or Anthem 1140?
Hey dream media is pioneer elite receivers good I realize that they don't have much pre outs
คืออยากใด้แต่เงินยังไม่มี marantz8015&pro ac&D2Rspeackerชุดtheater& middle hiress หนีภาษีมีมั๊ยครับจะพายเรือใปรอ!?
Good info! I finally learned thanks to you the purpose of Pre Outs. But what is actually output, is it an analog stream? Or is it a processed stream.
Also need to know what is “Pure Direct”. Can you explain that please?
Funny when you see a new amp now, it's not about how it sounds ...it's about the video resolution throughput lol
I’m still waiting for them to start including toslink output on their receivers once again. Always loved that feature
Regardinig audussy some people say they get better results doing it manually , Audussy did not get it right
Thank you

This thing is nice !!!
“Euro 3D” LOL. It’s Auro 3d there mister.
Dana Kenyon nice preview
Any future videos on a demo
no 4k120hz. hope it can be resolved soon.
It was my dream to have such a device
I have the sr6014 looking to add an amp to power 7.2.4 system but had to buy a 2 channel amp for my fronts you think that’s enough??
I want one!! Has so many features, but how does it compare to my old Harman Kardon AVR7200 just as far as sound listening to music?
I got the SR8015, do you know if I can I run 15 channels with a different AVR (Onkyo 506) used solely as an external amplifier for 4 channels?
Not too much. I enjoyed it
Detailed Information is really helpful 👌
A MARATNZ estabeleceu um outro nível com este aparelho.
Era meu sonho ter um aparelho desse
yes we do like this type of info the the other TH-camrs are too technical
What do you do if you are getting both next gen consoles?
Most 8k TVs have at least two HDMI 2.1 inputs. If you want both consoles to be connected all the time, one of the consoles must be connected directly to the TV and use ARC (or eARC) to get its audio to the receiver.
and nobody ever discusses the music side of this amp, is music in surround sound other than dolby atmos or is it just 2 channel stereo?
Are the 6 4k hdmi ports 120hrtz ?
Like the video, sound quality could be way better.
Love to see a demo
COOL STUFF it's not in stock in China, I have to wait..
I have been unable to get any 8 k resolution to or from my 8k tv. There is no upscaling for 8k no matter what I am watching.
Need more info on the preout section and preamp mode like can preamp mode be used just on certain speakers like mains to disconnect the internal amps and add more power to the mains for 2 channel listening and if sub still works in this configuration. I count 13 sets of binding posts so how does one use all 13 after adding the external amp? Never too much information imho as I am coming from an old 5.1 avr that just wont die.
When will i get marantz sr6015 review
its a beast but recievers are becoming to damn expensive, if we are to judge by components they even dont posses teh latest dac implementation. Im abit dissapointed in Marantz choice of dacs on this one... even the onkyo used akm 4490 ones
Congratulations
P.s can I call you and have somebody walk me thru the set up to make sure it’s right I’m not getting the boom sound like before
what happened to the video of this Vs the Denon 6700?
Streaming surround sound? Streaming does not support surround sound. 4K players with audio output being phased out. OPPO 205 4K player no longer produced price for NOS $8000. and Panasonic DP-UB9000 being discontinued. Also HDMI cable has lower power for audio output.

Just one 8k connection? Just wait, they will put out more 8k connections.
What would I have to add if I want to run 7.4.4? So I would like to run 4 subs
Daisy chain the subs maybe? To two outputs running the four?
A splitter on each sub output.
oh how I hate this sales man, start performing like a professional and not one of your "dudes"
what do you mean? he was fine
How much to ship to Kenya?
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✌
Very disappointed on marantz larest models very poor quality sound amplipfier can not out put bass from 80hz to 20hz it is saturated on medium and poor on high frequency it's an amateur amp.
This is not an amp its an av receiver.
