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.

•

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” 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 24­bit 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 DVD­Video 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 full­motion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

Theater Systems, Inc.

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.

Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally
decode the thousands of commercially available Dolby
Surround encoded video cassettes and television
programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can
also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced
Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless

6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience.

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 SR4500 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 x (Movie, Music and
Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music).
In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By
utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs the SR4500
is tomorrow's technology, today!

The SR4500 features a fully discrete 7 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 80 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean and
stable power into each of the seven 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 SR4500 can easily drive the
most demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR4500 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 SR4500 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from dealers and consumers. It
features a heavy duty speaker binding posts and
an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs
/ outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2
component inputs and SACD Multi Channel (7.1
channel) direct inputs is taken to a stunning new
level.

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.

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:

•
