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 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.

“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” 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 24-

bit 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.

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

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 decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic 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.

About Dolby Pro Logic

II x

Dolby Pro Logic II x technology delivers a natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to the home theater environment. A product of Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic II x is a complete surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources.

Dolby Pro Logic II x is fully compatible with Dolby 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.

The SR7400 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 (Movie and Music), Dolby Pro-Logic IIx (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 and a RS-232C communication port, the SR7400 is tomorrow's technology, today!

The SR7400 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 105 watts of high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the 7 channels. It employs a massive EI power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. Current feedback topology allows total operation stability, while requiring minimal amounts of negative feed-back, resulting in an excellent transient frequency response and superb sonic transparency. 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 SR7400 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR7400 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 SR7400 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from custom installation experts, dealers and consumers. It features multi-room/ multisource, assignable DC trigger, a RS-232C communication port, Flasher input, heavy duty speaker binding posts and an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 6 assignable digital inputs (7 total), 2 assingnable component inputs, SACD Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs video convert system and a speaker-B and OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR7400 can output the OSD information through the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.

An easy-to-use programmable, learning remote control allows full access to all of the operating functions and can be used for system operation as well.

The new generation of Marantz Receivers is stylish and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of the SR7400, buttons are kept to a minimum. Source selectors and volume controls are intuitively placed. The large left dial knob on the left can be used as multi dial which allows all functions of the SR7400 to be operated via the front panel. The SR7400 is here to perform in your unrivaled home entertainment setup.

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.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the SR7400. The SR7400 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, C

) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other

C video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly life like colors and crisp detail.

FLASHER IN (Flasher input terminal)

This terminal is to control the unit from each zone. Connect the control signal from a Keypad, etc.

MONITOR OUT

This is a monitor output and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations. When connecting two video monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can be used with both MONITOR OUT connections.

LOADING BATTERIES

The life of the batteries used with the remote control is about 4 months with normal use. Also be sure to replace batteries earlier when you notice that they are getting weak.

Remove the back cover.

Close the cover until it clicks.

Note:

Do not use old batteries and new batteries together. This can result in corrosion or leakage of battery fluid.

The supplied manganese batteries are for checking operation. Usage of alkaline batteries is recommended.

When discarding batteries, be sure to follow the local regulations for your area. Do not put batteries in a fire.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT INTERVAL

Under normal usage, alkaline batteries last approximately four months. When the batteries wear out, a battery mark is displayed on the LCD. Although the remote control can still be used when the battery mark is displayed, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. The LCD eventually starts to flash when buttons are pressed, the remote control will be unable to transmit signals or learn codes.

• This remote control uses non-volatile memory so that the learned codes and macro programs are retained even if the batteries are removed.

Reset the clock after replacing the batteries.

Safety Precautions for Batteries

Be sure to always observe the following precautions to prevent fluid leakage, overheating, fire, breakage, accidental ingestion, and other accidents.

• If the batteries are left unused for a long period of time, the battery fluid may leak or the batteries may corrode.

• Do not use the batteries in the remote control with the plus and minus polarity reversed.

• Do not attempt to recharge, heat, or disassemble the batteries. Do not put the batteries in a fire.

• Do not use the remote control with old batteries or worn-out batteries inserted.

• Do not use different types of batteries or mix old and new batteries in the remote control.

• If the remote control is not operating properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

• If any of the batteries are leaking, completely wipe up all leaked battery fluid, and then replace the batteries with new ones.

ENGLISH

Insert the new batteries (AAA type) with correct (+) and (–) polarity.

CONNECTIONS

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 left and right speakers, 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 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.

Surround left and right speakers

When the SR7400 is used in surround operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Surround back left and right speakers

Surround back speakers are required when a full

7.1-channel system is installed. Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Subwoofer

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

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 at the same height, as best as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher than your ears by about 2 Ft. - 3 Ft.(70cm – 1m). Also place the speakers at the same height, sa best as possible.

VIDEO, S-VIDEO , COMPONENT JACKS

There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.

VIDEO jack

The video signal for the VIDEO jacks is the conventional composite video signal.

S-VIDEO jack

The video signal is separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) signals for the S-VIDEO jack. The SVIDEO signals enables high-quality color reproduction. If your video component has an SVIDEO output, we recommend to use it. Connect the S-VIDEO output jack on your video component to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.

Component jack

Make component video connections to a TV or monitor with component inputs to produce higher quality video images. Use a component video cable or 3 video cords to connect the component video out jacks on the SR7400 to the monitor.
