  • Our take on the Marantz Cinema 40

    The Cinema 40 is Marantz's upper-mid 9.2-channel AV receiver, built around a Class AB amplifier rated at 125 W per channel into 8 ohms. It covers Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG, HDCP 2.3 on its HDMI board, eARC, four subwoofer outputs and multi-zone playback, with HEOS, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Spotify Connect streaming built in. It suits people running a 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 Atmos setup in a medium-to-large room who also want music streaming and a second zone. Against cheaper 9-channel rivals it gives up features like VRR and 8K upscaling, so gamers should look elsewhere; against step-up models it keeps the same amplifier layout and streaming platform for less. Owners rate it highly for sound and build.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Cinema 40 worth it over the Cinema 50?
    The Cinema 40 adds two amplified channels and a larger chassis over the Cinema 50, which matters if you want a 9.2 setup. If 7.2 is enough, the Cinema 50 covers the same streaming and HDMI features.
    How many speakers can it power?
    It amplifies nine channels, enough for 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 Atmos layouts, and it has four subwoofer outputs. A full 11-channel setup needs an external amplifier.
    Does it support 4K 120 Hz and VRR for consoles?
    It passes 4K signals and supports eARC, but it has no VRR or QMS. Console gamers who want variable refresh should check step-up models.
    What streaming services are built in?
    HEOS is the platform, with Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, TuneIn and Napster, plus AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. App control is available through HEOS.
    Can I run a second zone?
    Yes. It supports multi-zone playback, so you can send a separate source to another room while the main theater runs.
    What is in the box?
    The receiver, a remote, a calibration microphone and a power cord. Speaker wire and HDMI cables are not included.
