INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Marantz SR4300 Surround receiver.
This remarkable component has been engineered to provide you with
many years of home theater enjoyment. Please take a few minutes to
read this manual thoroughly before you connect and operate the
SR4300.
As there are a number of connection and configuration options, you
are encouraged to discuss your own particular home theater setup
with your Marantz A/V specialist dealer.
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 multi-channel digital sound
to both movies and music.
DTS is a multi-channel 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.
• 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 multi-channel digital signal
format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high
compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTSES 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 DTSES Matrix 6.1.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo:6” are trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 5.1channel 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.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro
Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel
technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel
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.
