reception, which can be determined by tuning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG

POUR ÉVITER LES CHOC ÉLECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Marantz SR4400
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 SR4400.
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.

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

For heat dispersal, leave at least 20 cm/8 inch of
space between the top, back and sides of this unit
and the wall or other components.

• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

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 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 six­channel 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.

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 5.1-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.

Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the

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.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROLLER

The remote controller RC5400SR must be
programmed to use the codes for your appliances
of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4­digit code or by scanning the codes until the
correct one is found. We recommend to using the
4-digit code. This mode is faster and more
reliable. The code scanning method should be
used only if you cannot find the code for one of
your appliances. The codes are listed at the end of
this book.

Important:

• Use the remote control buttons for
programming, not the buttons of the receiver or
other appliances.

• Some codes may be not match your equipment.
In this case, your equipment cannot be
controlled with this remote controller.

PROGRAMMING WITH THE 4-DIGIT CODE

1.

Press and hold down the function button for
the appliance which should be controlled and
press SETUP until the indicator blinks twice.

2.

Press the 4-digit code for appliance (code
table at the end of this book)

3.

When the procedure is successful, the
indicator will blink twice.

Note:

• If the indicator did not blink twice, then repeat
steps 1 through 2 and try entering the same code
again.
