SR5400 Original SE AV Receiver					N E W
SR5400 Original SE is the Marantz self-tuned version of the SR5400. To dramatically improve
the sound quality, all the components are critically examined, after which it is possible to
determine where customisation is needed. At the end of this detailed process the power supply
lines are enforced and the audio circuitry is tremendously tweaked up. This custom treatment
gives a much more consistent response in entire frequency range. Musical reproduction is
characterized by improved transparency and image, as well as tonal accuracy. The Marantz
SR5400 Orginal SE features like its base model DTS ES, NEO:6 decoding, Dolby Pro Logic
II and Circle Surround 6.1. Highly accurate 96kHz/24-bit audio D/A converters handle the
analog to digital conversion, resulting in more faithful sound quality compared to the original
source. Experience your movies and music in dynamic Marantz style.

Our specialty

Our OSE products are based on exciting audio devices within the Marantz range and are upgraded to very high standards. Therefore our OSE products exceed every expectation. Designed with the greatest care for construction and component use, these products have really become a Marantz trademark in terms of value for money. The SR5400 Original SE is capable of generating 90 watts of discrete power into all 6 channels.

The large power supply incorporates a high current power transformer, with ample capabilities to drive low impedance loudspeakers. The SR5400 Original SE incorporates an extensive array of digital and analog audio and video connections to accommodate a wide variety of multiple program sources. Music reproduction is enhanced through a highly efficient source direct switch, which bypasses the entire A/V section in audio mode. In direct mode, interference and disturbance by radiated electrical or magnetic fields are minimized, ensuring the shortest signal path for the highest degree of clarity and detail.

Customised components

Every Marantz product is designed with a fine ear and eye for details. The designers have to know the characteristics of every component. On paper the component might look excellent but the result may fall short of the combined design expectations. Therefore

Marantz collects vast amounts of information upon specifics component performance capabilities. The result guarantees Marantz selects the appropriate

components for the specific design application. The sonic result is then critically acclaimed by international reviewers. In other cases it's simply not possible to use standard components that meet the high Marantz standards. These components will then be specially made for Marantz only in co-operation with the Marantz engineers.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX brings a new dimension of depth, spacious ambience and sound localization to home theater environment. The benefits of DD-EX include more realistic flyover and flyaround effects, a more stable image for atmospheres and music and a more consistent surround effect throughout the auditorium or home viewing area.

DTS-ES, 96/24 decoding

The DTS-ES surround system offering a superb sound quality and a range of formats. The Discrete 6.1 offers the ultimate quality of surround field creation, while the Matrix 6.1 provides compatibility for the existing DTS 5.1 software. And the Neo:6 is to create 6.1 surround stage from any two channel source. DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1 channel sound track encoding at a rate of 96kHz/24 bits on DVD-Video titles.

Higher sampling rates provide greater bit depth and allow a wider frequency response. In conjunction with the use of antialias and reconstruction filters DTS 94/24 results in a more transparent sound quality equivalent to the original soundtrack and is fully backwards compatible at the same time.

Dolby Pro Logic II music and movie

Dolby Pro Logic is capable of producing a Multi Channel soundstage using only a two channel source, meaning that normal TV broadcast can only be decoded using this decoding technique. Now the standard is being successed by the Dolby Pro Logic II format, offering the full frequency range accross all channels and even with a stereo soundfield on the surround speakers. This experience of two channel decoding adds a more realistic element to watching TV and is fully compatible with the Dolby Pro Logic standard.

CS II

Circle Surround II is a powerfull and versatile multi-channel technology designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel surround-sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources and other matrix encoded sources. CS-II places the listener "inside" the music performances and dramatically improves the separation and image positioning of both hi-fi audio conventional surround-encoded video material, adding a heightened sence of realism.
