Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo
nonmatrix recordings into the five- or six-
channel layout, in a way which does not diminish
the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo
recording.
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with
the conventional DTS Digital Surround format,
DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the
360-degree surround impression and space
expression thanks to further expanded surround
signals. This format has been used professionally
in movie theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround
also offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for
surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels.
DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal
formats with different surround signal recording
methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES
Matrix 6.1.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo:6”
are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at
44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24-
bit for some time, and there is increasing interest in
higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide
extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates
allow wider frequency response and the use of
anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more
favorable aural characteristics.
DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to
be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-
Video titles.
When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to
deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only
in two channels, and with serious limitations on
picture. This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new
player is needed, and only analog outputs are
provided, necessitating the use of the D/A
converters and analog electronics provided in the
player.
DTS 96/24 offers the following:
1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master.
2.Full backward compatibility with all existing
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48
kHz signal)
3.No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be
carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of
DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.
4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-
motion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.
Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital
audio coding for such consumer formats as DVD
and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby Digital can
provide up to five full-range channels for left,
center, and right screen channels, independent left
and right surround channels, and a sixth ( ".1")
channel for low-frequency effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
II
is an improved matrix
decoding technology that provides better spatiality
and directionality on Dolby Surround program
material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfield on conventional stereo music
recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the
surround experience to automotive sound. While
conventional surround programming is fully
compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
II
decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded
specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic
II
playback, including separate left and right
surround channels. (Such material is also
compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done
using a matrix decoder that derives three surround
channels from the two in the original recording.
For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used
with movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby
Digital Surround EX.

DESCRIPTION
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1
channels of discrete digital audio into home theater
systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete
multichannel digital sound to both movies and
music.
DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to
create full range digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the
standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering
an exact copy of the studio master recordings to
neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly
as the moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies
or music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.
“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
The advantages of discrete multichannel systems
over matrix are well known.
But even in homes equipped for discrete
multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality
matrix decoding. This is because of the large
library of matrix surround motion pictures available
on disc and on VHS tape; and analog television
broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a
center channel and a mono surround channel from
two-channel matrix stereo material. It is better than
a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to
improve separation, but because of its mono,
band-limited surround it can be disappointing to
users accustomed to discrete multichannel.
Neo:6 offers several important improvements as
follow,
Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix material.
Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six
and five separate channels, respectively,
corresponding to the standard home-theater
speaker layouts.
Neo:6 technology allows various sound
elements within a channel or channels to be
steered separately, and in a way which follows
naturally from the original presentation.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile
multichannel technology. CS-II is designed to
enable up to 6.1 multichannel surround sound
playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources
and other matrix encoded sources. In all cases the
decoder extends it into 6 channels of surround
audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The CS-II
decoder creates a listening environment that
places the listener inside music performances
and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio
conventional surround-encoded video material.
CS-II provides composite stereo rear channels to
greatly improve separation and image positioning
adding a heightened sense of realism to both audio
and A/V productions.
CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog
clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like
bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can enable the
dialog to become clearer and more discernable in
movies and it enables the bass frequencies
contained in the original programming to more
closely achieve low frequencies overcoming the
low frequency limitations of the speakers by full
octave.

FEATURES
The SR6400 incorporates the latest generation of
digital surround sound decoding technology such
as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES
(Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1), DTS Neo:6 (Cinema,
Music), Dolby Pro-Logic II (Movie and Music),
Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music) .
In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By
utilizing pre-out jacks, 6.1 direct inputs and a
RS232C communication port, the SR6400 is
tomorrow's technology, today!
The SR6400 features a fully discrete 6 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 100 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean
and stable power into each of the six channels. It
employs a massive EI power transformer in
combination with oversized filter capacitors. This
design configuration is capable of a clear and
powerful reproduction of the most demanding
action movie soundtracks and full range
(multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to
generate very high output voltages, the SR6400
can easily drive the most demanding speakers
with optimum results.
The SR6400 incorporates the most advanced
Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a
Crystal
®
192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of
the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits
are incorporated for the FL display, audio and
video sections for maximum separation, clarity
and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected
customized components, all elements work in
harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the
artist had intended.
The SR6400 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from custom installation
experts, dealers and consumers. It features a
RS232C communication port, heavy duty speaker
binding posts and an extensive array of both
analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 6
assignable digital inputs, 2 component inputs,
SACD Multi Channel (6.1 channel) direct inputs
and a speaker-B and OSD output versatility is
taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the
SR6400 can output the OSD information through
the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.
An easy-to-use programmable, learning remote
control allows full access to all of the operating
functions and can be used for system operation as
well.
The new generation of Marantz Receivers is stylish
and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of
the SR6400, buttons are kept to a minimum. Source
selectors and volume controls are intuitively placed.
The large left dial knob on the left can be used as
multi dial which allows all functions of the SR6400 to
be operated via the front panel. The SR6400 is here
to perform in your unrivaled home entertainment
setup.
The TruSurround Headphone technology provides
a surround sound listening experience over
headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such as
DVD movies over headphones, the listening
experience is fundamentally different than
listening to speakers. Since the headphone
speaker drivers are covering the pinna of the ear,
the listening experience differs greatly from
traditional speaker playback. TruSurround utilizes
patented headphone perspective curves to solve
this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,
immersive, home theater listening experience.
TruSurround Headphone also delivers exceptional
3D audio from mono and stereo material.

m
Power cable
Connect to an AC power outlet.
SR6400 has to be powered by 120 V AC only.
,
AC OUTLETS
Connect the AC power cables of components such as
a DVD and CD player to these outlets. SWITCHED
and UNSWITCHED outlets are provided.
The one marked SWITCHED provides power only
when the SR6400 is turned on and is useful for
components which you use every time you play
your system.
The one marked UNSWITCHED is always live as
long as the SR6400 is plugged into a live outlet.
A component connected here may be left on
permanently, or may be switched off with via its own
power switch.
Caution:
In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps, anything
plugged into these outlets should be powered up
before the SR6400 is turned on.
The capacity of this AC outlet is 120W. Do not
connect devices that consume electricity more than
the capacity of these AC outlets. If the total power
consumption of the connected devices exceeds the
capacity, the protection circuit shuts down the
power supply.

c
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component
video connectors, be sure to connect them to these
component video connectors on the SR6400. The
SR6400 has two component video input
connectors to obtain the color information (Y, C
B
,
C
R
) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other
video component and one component video output
connector to output it directly into the matrix
decoder of the display device.
By sending the pure DVD component video signal
directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra
processing that normally would degrade the
image. The result is vastly increased image
quality, with incredibly life like colors and crisp
detail.
Notes:
This component video output will not display the
OSD menu system.
v
Preamp Outputs (L, R, SL, SR, SB, C)
Jacks for L(front left), R (front right), C (Center), SL

other video components to the video inputs.
S-video sources can be viewed through the S-
video outputs, and composite sources can only be
viewed through the composite output.
The 2 video output channels can be used to be
connected to video tape recorders for making
recordings.
x
FM antenna terminal (75 ohms)
Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxial
cable, or a cable network FM source.
