Description from the seller
The Marantz SR-82 is a heavily built surround receiver from Japan, designed for both high-quality stereo playback and complete Dolby Pro Logic home cinema. With a powerful amplifier section, extensive surround settings, and a fully integrated signal processor, this receiver delivers performance on par with separate components, but all-in-one.
A true all-rounder with classic Marantz sound.
Core performances
Stereo power: 2 × 70 watts at 8 ohms
Surround sound amplification: 70 W (front), 80 W (center), 30 W (rear)
Discrete output stages and heavy ring core transformer.
THD: 0.09% | Signal-to-noise ratio: 75 dB (phono), 82 dB (line)
Frequency range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz
Surround & built-in signal processor
The SR-82 is equipped with a fully integrated surround processor with Dolby Pro Logic decoding. This system processes stereo information into multi-channel surround via an internal circuit – no separate decoder needed.
Available listening modes:
Dolby Pro Logic: decodes surround information from film sound (such as VHS, DVD, TV)
3-Stereo: left, right, and center without rear channels.
Ambience Mode: creates spaciousness from stereo.
Direct Mode: pure stereo playback without processing
Programmable via remote control and front panel.
Level adjustment for front, center, rear
Manually adjustable delay time.
Internal test tone generator for optimal tuning.
Surround balance left/right + front/back
Pre- and power amplifier independently usable (Pre-Out / Main-In)
Thanks to the Pre-Out / Main-In connections, you can use the preamplifier and power amplifier separately. This makes the SR-82 suitable for flexible systems:
Control of external final amplifier (for example, for main channels)
Inserting an external processor or EQ between pre and main.
Using a preamplifier independently for zone output or active speakers.
Connecting an active subwoofer via pre-out.
This configuration makes it highly suitable for audiophiles who want to build modular systems.
Connectivity and connections
Phono-ingang (MM)
CD, Tape (in/out), AUX
VCR1 & VCR2 (audio in/out and video in/out)
Composite video-switching via RCA
Pre-Out for all channels
Speaker connections A/B
Headphone output (6.3 mm jack)
Ease of use & additional features
Digital clock with 24-hour display
Sleep timer: automatically shut off after the set time.
Programming timer: activate at fixed times
FM/AM tuner with 30 presets
Display dimmer with multiple levels
Channel setting per source (including for surround)
Input labeling via front display
Build quality and appearance
Dimensions: 420 x 166 x 430 mm
Weight: approximately 15.5 kg
Housing: metal with aluminum front, in black/anthracite.
Originally built in Japan (1993)
