Best set up video I’ve ever seen for an AV product. Your walkthrough of this unit have sealed the deal for me.
Your comment made my day! That’s why we do it. I’m so happy to hear it helped. We will do more like this one for you on other models. We have these in stock and ready to ship nationwide. If you still have further questions feel free to reach out to our specialist for free consultation. Thanks for your support!
It is amazing how good the picture still looks with all the artificial and natural light in that room.
For the price it’s very impressive!
Great series Zach. There's some things to point out for beginners that are really not recommended which I know you know, but didn't come across in the video:
- Front L/R in the ceiling should be avoided if at all possible - the ultimate clean setup would be to put them all in wall at ear level.
- In this case, pull the Center to the front of the cabinet to avoid reflections.
- Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume have caveats and will impact the performance and accuracy of the system in exchange for quiet listening.
- Don't move, make noise, or obstruct the mic or speakers when calibrating.
- Multi channel stereo is not the intended way to use a surround system and really shouldn't be used unless there is a specific reason.
Isn't the Multi channel mode ideal for listening to music? If I just went with my fronts L/R and the center, then I would give up on my back speakers.
Good points Adam! Thanks for commenting!
@@Bicki multi channel stereo is good for music and sports if you want all the speakers active all the time but for spacial audio and movies we recommend Dolby Atmos
Adam Jannetta
I actually like Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume settings because you can play videos, make dialogue sound loud at lower volumes, which is great to avoid complaints from neighbours
Super video, thank you. Covered a few finer details I was looking to see while looking at the 70S model for a small home setup. 👌
I'm so glad I found this video, it will definitely make my first setting up of cinema 50 easy, in about 3 weeks time. super exited to go the next level from my old pioneer htp-71. 😄
Thank you so much for this videos, I really enjoy it!
Glad to hear your enjoying it Pedro! More on the way!
Excelente video Zak!!!!! Hace mucho que no hacías uno de estos... Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Thanks Juan! 😁
YES - Exactly what we all need!!!!
Glad your loving it Alex! Thanks for commenting!
@@Dreamediaav I just got my Cinema 50 so this came at a good time :). Wondering though, if price is not an issue, would you recommend I return and get the Cinema 40?
Great video and very helpful!
fantastic, as an older person this tech is confusing for me. You have simplified it for me. Thank you.
As the tech improves, everything will becomes easier. If it's not becoming more user friendly, it's not improving.
Awesome content, keep it coming
Appreciate that Christian! More coming your way! Thanks for the comment. 😁
Very nice setup Zach, I just built a 7.2.4 Denon 6700h with all Klipsch Speakers.Watching you set up the Audessy was awesome and like you said I have everything set to 80hz and 0db. I know I'm missing out on the sounds so I will be setting mines up using Audessy. Thanks and keep up with the great content as usual 🫡
Thanks Antonio! Glad the video helped. We have more videos on the way. Thanks for watching!
@Dreamedia Home Theater Thank you Zak for replying, always great content. Quick question, I mentioned that I'm using 7.2.4 system, from your experience should I get a 3 channel amp for the fronts and also do I need to calibrate using Audessy if I was to add an amp? Looking forward to your response. Thanks
hi this is really good. just have 1 question , can we have separate preset for movie watching and 2.1 for music listening .
Awesome video. Can you do 5.1.4 with the 50? Using the on board amp and not an external amp..
Nice tip on the video modes, will use it. Mine is waiting for the weekend to be installed :)
TBH, I wished to see Audyssey curve manipulation/multieq XT software and most of all, Audyssey/Dirac comparison. Maybe I try to make a guide when I go through it.
Info and manuals on the matter are crap.
Finally, I learned Marantz may have an internal seminar on Dirac live + MSO! How about that for your video update?
Really loving this content! Love this LS800 showcase/setup series! Noticed some soap opera effect, is there a way to adjust on the unit?
Thanks Joe! We have more coming on this series. This unit does have some good presets built in and I’ll do more demos coming up and go over options. You shouldn’t get a soap opera effect. Thanks for watching!
Big Like 💙🔥
Thank you! Working hard on these for you guys! 💪
Hi I love your videos
Thanks William!
Hello! Recommend a 5.1 or 7.1 system (speakers) for this receiver
Do you find that Dynamic EQ ramps up the surround way too much?
that marantz is one nice peice of equipment.....
Yes it is! Thanks for commenting John!
Any using Martin Logan speakers with this setup?
kindly advise i have 7 channel power amp and can i assign my front, center, and surround and surround back total 7 speakers to my preouts settings and rest 4 channels to my main cinema 50 AVR, and choose 11.1 assign mode in the speakers/amp setting? without adding extra 2 channels to my external amp? OR what will be best setting. Thank you
Zach, did you show the installation of the on wall front left/right speakers? I might have missed it in one of these videos. Great job on these videos. Very helpful.
Not yet! It’s coming up!
Thanks for the compliment Rich! I’ll keep them coming!
what is the other component that you have on the right cabinet (beside the marantz)?
Danka!😊
would it be such a big issue to just set all your hdmi port on the AVR to 8k enchanced even if some of your devices do not need the full 48 bandwidth for the hdmi ? I would not understand why it would be an issue but you seem to say that you should make sure of them being aligned. I think if your receiver is giving your more bandwidth than you really need its totally ok, its if you set it to a lower bandwidth and then try to get HDR or 120hz at 4K that you have issues.
Thanks for the helpful info. There's no issue connecting speakers while the AVR is on? Always thought it had to be off while connecting speakers, subs, HDMI, etc.
It is best practice to make connections while the unit is off but as long as no audio is output or power is being sent through the terminals at the time of connection it’s ok. We wanted to give this demonstration which requires the unit on. Thanks for watching!
@@Dreamediaav I think when connecting a sub you if the unit is on you can get pop or back noise if you want to call it. Should have the unit off when connecting subs. I don’t think it matters much with other speakers.
Such a professional video mate, well done. I am waiting for my Cinema 40 to arrive here in NZ. woot woot, cant wait.
I have one question I hope some one can answer,...
The video setting.
If I am driving the amp on EARC from my TV do I need to bother with the video settings 4k 8k etc that Zak talks about. Or is that only for pass through devices.???
Appreciate the kind comment! Congrats on the cinema 40 purchase! We appreciate your support! You aren’t actually using the hdmi ports to send the video signal if your only using the smart tv direct and sending the audio back over eARC but if you do connect anything to the avr in the future make sure to check those settings to maximize your video output to the tv. You will still want to check your TVs settings to make sure everything is set up to maximize your video though. Have a great day!
Thanks a million.
👍👍👍👍🤪
Thanks for the detailed demo. Does this receiver tell you the input sound/codec if it changes. For example, if I am watching a stereo TV show and then a film in DD 5.1 comes on, will the unit inform me that the sound has switched at all, either through the front porthole display on using onscreen graphics?
I like to know what I am receiving and older AVR's were very detailed with this info (including speaker config), but this Marantz doesn't seem to tell you much.
One reviewer pointed out the lack of displayed information as a negative. The company went too far with the firm over function.
How do you change the base and treble on the Cinema 50 thx
Can i run 5.2.6?
Front height ,top middle and Rear height? Actually I have all the speakers except a top middle(i know that i need extra stereo device for another speaker pair)
I recently purchased a Marantz Cinema 70. However, when running the setup routine it fails to pick up the Subwoofer. There seems to be no signal sent to the sub. However, it plays music and movies just fine. Any thoughts?
How do I turn off the synchronization of the Marantz Cinema 40 with the TV? Usually I just want to listen to the sound of the TV and don't want to turn on the amplifier. But when I turn on the TV, the AV amplifier automatically turns on. Can you help me? I'll be grateful.
@17:20 you have rear surrounds installed in the wall. Can you pick 5 channel with LCR+ rear surrounds (the classic 5 channel setup) as opposed to 5 channel with LCR + side surrounds (the modern 5 channel setup)? Like you my speakers are in the rear.
Good questions. Regardless of where your surround are in the room (side or rear) you still only select surround when doing a 5 channel bed layer. If you had two sets of surrounds for a 7 channel bed layer it will separate the audio between the two sets of low level speakers. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
So what did Audessy set for speaker configuration? Crossovers? Levels? Curious in that wide open space how it did & if you will change those from the settings it set. People watching this type of video may want to see further configuration to "make it better".
Good question Scott! It’s going to vary depending on each persons circumstances and speaker set up but we will do a video on that on the future episodes. Thanks for watching! 😁
Glad i watched this first, will all 4 bass channels work right out of the box?
Glad it helped! Yes you can. We will do dirac live and 4 sub connection videos in the future!
@@Dreamediaav thank you very much
What about Klipsch speakers 620f? And the yamaha reciver rx v6a not the avantage model? Got the Sony a95k 65 inch oled tv are klipsch speakers good? I heard the blades speakers at Best Buy for 12 thousand dollars they sounded awesome.
We used to sell a lot of Klipch and still do sell klipsch but sell much more focal. It’s a step up and we have options in the same price range. Give us a call to talk options! 877-417-9000. Thanks for watching!
What is the name/brand of the TV stand?
What settings do you use for 2 channel music listening?
We actually have some 2 channel videos coming up soon! Set them at large in the cinema 50 and select music stereo option. Crossover will depend on speakers you have.
@@Dreamediaav Thanks!
I hope to hear from you also I’m interested in your products and I would love to have you look at my equipment to
Can you please tell details about your screen ?
Are you adding power amplifiers?
Yes sir! That video will be out in the next few days. Stay tuned for the in detail set up video!
@@Dreamediaav can’t wait
Can i run 11.2 without external amp ?
I want to run 7 bed layer and 4 heights plus two subs
No, I don’t think so
I’m surprised you’re not using separates!
That’s coming up in future episodes! 😁
Nice job! I just bought a cinema 60,and I’m wondering that when I play a movie which named like “…x265.trued.7.1.atmos…”,so which sound mode should I select?atmos or truehd? Which one is better?
Hello! I will buy Cinema 60 in a couple of days. Are you satisfied with yours? I will use it primarily for movies and gaming 5.1.2. setup.
@@libertalian_8415 haha,my home theater is the basic b&w 600 series,so for me it’s just perfect,if your speakers is not that high performance speakers, I think 60 is enough for 5.1.2
@@whbwin I have Wharfdale DX2 5.1 system with two atmos additional speakers.
@@libertalian_8415 I see,enjoy the cinema 60 then!

Oh okay, you do intend on using external amps down the road.
Correct!
Hi my name is Taz. I am thinking to buy home theater system. I live in Pennsburg,Pennsylvania. Do you guys any support me for setup my home theater. Any suggestions what brand speakers I purchase?
Yes absolutely! Just give us a call to get started! 877-417-9000 or sales@dreamediaav.com. We look forward to working with you!
Is it just me or are you guys getting audio clipping from apple tv dolby vision with cinema 50?
Its just you. I would make sure to run all your firmware updates on all products on your system and if that doesn’t work to a factory reset.
@Dreamedia Home Theater done all that. Tried a second apple tv. Sane issue. Spent a bunch of money on hdmi 2.1 and issue. Even plugged in roku and sane issue but less often. Plugged directly to TV with earc same issue as directly to receiver. 😒
@@relaxn79 have you called Marantz tech support? That would be the next step. You may need a replacement unit. Sorry to hear about all your issues.
@Dreamedia Home Theater thanks. Yes I've begin. It's hard to test since it literally takes sitting down for awhile and watch a show than try something else and sit and watch so I'm still testing to see if anything works. Reset 2 days ago so going thru the process.
Do u deliver from RSA
We are USA only at this time. Thanks for watching!
Hey Zach, aren’t your LCR speakers behind the screen, and the front height speakers in the ceiling? Someone posted that your LCR speakers are in the ceiling, and that’s not true. I watched all the videos on your theater installation. You put 6 height channels in the ceiling!
Correct! I did a short video stating that if you aren’t able or do not have design approval to do a true front soundstage that the front left and right in the ceiling could be an option to get the job done but ideally you want true LCR and yes those are my front Atmos speakers! 😁
Why would you run Audyssey (and demo) before you have your L/R hooked up? Even as an example it makes no sense...Why wouldn't you hook the Apple to the AVR - so many people add the TV layer into the chain where the less troublesome way to hook it up is the AVR.
Good question. We have a lot more videos coming out on this series and all the furniture isn’t put back in the room so no need to do a “final calibration”. The Apple TV is connected to the AVR on the media player input. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Where are the front left and right speakers?

He installed his front left and right speakers on the ceiling.
@@retroforce6919 Those speakers are the height channels, he has 6 height channels!
@@wendellwendellb339 if you watch the video Zach says that at the moment the front Atmos are being used as his front L/R and the centre is in the cabinet. He says this is the cleanest setup for wives and designers but he will be adding L/R later and converting the ceiling speakers back in use as front Atmos speakers

You could tell the idiot that purchased that system is very knowledgeable. You can see in that video all the light coming in from that window washing out the TV. Meaning you can't watch it during the day of course you can close the blinds but that's not a very good setup for that environment he will be buying something new in a year
It would be nice to have even more light output! 4000 lumens is great but there are massive 12’ high windows in the room. We should the space in other videos with windows open and closed. It’s good for the price point but of course there is always better options available when you spend more. We will show you better solutions in upcoming videos!
Maybe its the lights on but that picture is unwatchable IMO its totally washed out.

$$$$$$$$??????
Shame it’s only ARC and not eARC. 😢
Yeah it’s the price point of the LS800. It’s not a big deal though. Most people will get a sound system and a separate source like Apple TV so it doesn’t affect the quality of Dolby Atmos. Thanks for watching Paul!
the cinema 50 does indeed have eARC
@@artvandelay837 correct Art! I think Paul was referring to the epson ls800.
Yes I was talking about the Epson, which is one of the reasons why I went for the AWOL 3500.
@@FooFighter33 that’s that I thought. Sounds good Paul! For people who may read this in the future the eARC is to take higher quality audio out of the projector when using the smart features like Dolby Atmos. Certain apps will still output Atmos like Disney plus but it will be a compressed version. You would want to get a separate media player like I have in this set up to get the best audio quality. I am using an Apple TV. Hope that helps guys!
"Let me know what you think when you get this setup"..........
You think any of us "normal" people could afford 1/millionth of what you have here?....
In my community with a secondhand onkyio, 7 battered old speakers, and a pair of cambridge audio ls120's (8 inch subs) im considered a snob..... most people can barely afford a £40 soundbar, and thats without the sub....
