PRECAUTIONS IN CONNECTION

• Be sure to unplug the power cable from the AC outlet or turn off the

POWER switch before proceeding with any connection.

• Connect one cable at a time observing the “input” and “output”.

This will avoid any cross connection between channels and signal inputs and outputs.

• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connection may result in

noise.

• Prior to connecting other audio and video equipment to the SR4300,

please read their owner’s manuals.

INSTALLATION

If this unit or another electronic device incorporating a microcomputer is used at the same time with the tuner or television, picture disturbance or noise may occur. In such a case, install the unit according to the following guide points.

• Separate the unit as far as possible from the television.

• Place the antenna wire for the tuner or TV apart from the power

cable and audio and video connection cables of this unit.

• Since the phenomenon is likely to occur when using an indoor

antenna and/or 300-ohm feeder wire, we recommend using an outdoor antenna and 75-ohm coaxial cable.

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.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround back and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side. Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel. It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality. The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems. Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers on the same height as well as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher to your ears (70cm – 1m). Also place the speakers on the same height.

 1m

ENGLISH

Surround Left

Front left and right speakers

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speaker

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a little backward from the line.

Surround left and right speakers

Place the speakers right beside of the listening position or a little forward. Do not place the speakers backward of the listening position.

Surround back speaker

Place the speaker behind of the listening position.

Subwoofer

We recommend to use a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequency range so you can place it anywhere in the room.

• Selection of the “MIX” will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with “LARGE” from that channel only.

Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup menu.

This softens loud passages such as sudden explosions, to help prevent disturbing others late at night. To turn off the Night mode, press the NIGHT button again.

SURROUND MODE

The SR4300 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES or PCM-audio. Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi channel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal. When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played. Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic II movie processing before play. PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode.

Notes:

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

• When the signal is not decoded is input for using mode, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 31 to confirm the available decoding mode.

2 MODE

(Dolby Digital,Pro Logic II MOVIE, Pro Logic II MUSIC, Pro Logic)

This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital. Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

Dolby Pro Logic II brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic II has below 3 modes.

Pro Logic II MOVIE

This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks.

Pro Logic II MUSIC

This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc.

Pro Logic

This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.

Notes:

• Pro Logic II mode is available to 2ch input signal which is encoded Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

EX/ES

This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such as DVD. This mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Dolby Digital EX

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back , places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before. Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker.

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTSES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio reproduction. DTS-ES is not available in the system without surround back speaker.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)

This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD and some 2channel signal source.

dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multi channel. Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode. The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input has been selected.

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

Note:

• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source material can playback in this mode.

MULTI CH. ST

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

ENGLISH

CIRCLE SURROUND II (CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)

ENGLISH

Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-channel surround sound playback of non-encoded and multi-channel encoded material. Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to 6.1 channels of surround performance from entire collection of music and film, including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music. Regarding to source material, you can select CSII-Cinema mode,

CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono mode.

Note:

• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source material can playback in this mode.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

DSP SURROUND (MOVIE, HALL, STADIUM, MATRIX)

These modes provide surround effect processing from each input source material. They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres. Select as your taste desires.

Note:

• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source material can playback in this mode.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing. Stereo program sources the left and right channels play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input. With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multi-channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be playback in stereo mode.

S (SOURCE ) - DIRECT

In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction. 96 kHz PCM source material can be play back in this mode.

Notes:

• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large, Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and Subwoofer = yes automatically. Tone controls and additional processing are also defeated.

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

CAUTION

NOTE for DTS signal

* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-player needs to

support DTS-digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the SR4300 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR4300 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

* Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce short noise.

This is not a malfunction. In such cases, select the surround mode the “DTS” or “DTS-ES”.

* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another

Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN MENU or A/D button.

* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT, TAPE OUT, and

CD-R OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTSencoded signal will be recorded as noise.

NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal

* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1

channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software

does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ ES mode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio

* AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes can be used when

playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from SR4300 will be muted.

* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to

the player’s operation manual.

* Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protection. When using

such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode knob on SR4300 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and input signal. That relationship is as follows;

Press the HT-EQ button on the front panel to turn on the HT-EQ mode. The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theater environments. Activating the HT-EQ feature when watching a film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance. The HT-EQ feature can be activated only while in Dolby Pro Logic Mode, or while decoding Dolby Digital or DTS encoded material.

RDS OPERATION

Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM signal. Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of FM stations using station and network names, rather than broadcast frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search for programme types.

VOLUME

RADIO TEXT

Some RDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT, which is additional information on the station and programme being broadcast. RADIO TEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character by the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until the entire text has been completely received.
