Marantz RX101: Bluetooth / IR Extender Module

Now you can add wireless reception from virtually all of your Bluetooth-enabled devices. Listen to the files you've carefully collected, not on headphones but through your main home entertainment system! And the Marantz RX101 includes an IR (infrared) receiver so you can maintain full remote control capability even when your system components are out of sight in a custom cabinet or a hidden closet!

Compact and functional, the RX101 Bluetooth Adaptor may well be the missing link in your home entertainment system. Just plug it into the dedicated jack on the back of selected Marantz components, pair it with your choice of Bluetooth devices, and you're ready to enjoy new sonic vistas.

Technically, the RX101 conforms to Bluetooth's A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) specification so it has all the data transmission speed you'll require.

So what kind of devices can you use with the RX101? Just about anything that is Bluetooth-enabled - and that includes your iPhone and iTouch (as long as you've upgraded to Apples 3.0 software).

Where can you place the RX101? Just about anywhere. It is designed for both table-top and wall mount locations so you have maximum flexibility.

Don't forget the RX101s IR capability either. In addition to linking your Bluetooth devices to your home entertainment system, it also gives you an easy way to command that system, even if you've placed the components well away from the line-of-sight position demanded by ordinary infrared systems. The RX101 contains two IR receivers so you can mount it almost anywhere and maintain full functionality. There's even an IR on/off switch so you can use the RX101 exactly as you want to.

The Marantz RX101 simply connects to the M-XPort (available on SR6004/SR5004) and even powers the module, so no additional power adaptor is required.

So join the wireless generation. But join with Marantz elegance, functionality, and sound quality: the best way to go!
