DESCRIPTION

THX® is an exclusive set of standards and
technologies established by the world-renowned fi lm
production company, Lucasfi lm Ltd. THX resulted
from George Lucas’ desire to reproduce the movie
soundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie
theater and in the home theater.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
accurately translate the sound from a movie theater
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and
spatial errors that occur.
When the THX mode of the SR7001 is on, three
distinct THX technologies are automatically added:
Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance
for watching a movie in a home environment.
These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighter
for a large movie theater. Re-EQ compensates for
this and prevents the soundtracks from being overly
bright and harsh when played in a home theater.
Timbre Matching-fi lters the information going to the
surround speakers so they more closely match the
tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the
front speakers.
This ensures seamless panning between the front
and surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes one
surround channel’s time and phase relationship with
respect to the other surround channel.
This expands the listening position and creates with
only two surround speakers the same spacious
surround experience as in a movie theater with
multiple surround speakers.
The Marantz SR7001 was required to pass a rigorous
series of quality and performance tests, in addition to
incorporating the technologies explained above, in
order to be THX certifi ed by Lucasfi lm Ltd.
THX requirements cover every aspect of performance
including pre-amplifier and power amplifier
performance and operation, and hundreds of other
parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital,
DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, stereo and Mono will all
benefi t from the THX mode when being viewed.
The THX mode should only be activated when
watching movies which were originally produced for
a movie theater environment.

THX need not be activated for music, movies
made especially for TV, or shows such as sports
programming, talk shows, etc.
This is because they were originally mixed for a small
room environment.

THX and Select 2 are trademarks of THX Ltd. THX
may be registered in some jurisdictions. Surround
EX is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Used with
permission.

THX Surround EX—Dolby DIgital Surround EX is a
joint development of Dolby Laboratories and THX
Ltd.

In a movie theater, fi lm 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.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital
Surround EX technology, when released into the
home consumer market may exhibit wording to that
effect on the packaging. A list of movies created
using this technology can be found on the Dolby
web site at www.dolby.com. A list of available DVD
software titles encoded with this technology an be
found at www.thx.com.
Only receiver and controller products bearing the
THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround
EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology
in the home. This product may also engage the
THX Surround EX mode during the playback of 5.1
channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround
EX eocnded. In such case, the information delivered
to the Surround Back channel will be program
dependent and may or may not be very pleasing
depending on the particular soundtrack and the
tastes of the individual listener.

THX Select2

Before any home theater component can be THX
Select2 certifi ed, it must pass a rigorous series of
quality and performance tests. Only then can a
product feature the THX Select2 logo, which is your
guarantee that the Home Theater products you
purchase will give you superb performance for many
years to come. THX Select2 requirements defi ne
hundreds of parameters, including power amplifi er
performance, and pre-amplifi er performance and
operation for both digital and analog domains. THX
Select2 receivers also feature proprietary THX
technologies
(e.g., THX Mode) which accurately translate movie
soundtracks for home theater playback.

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 two­channel matrix stereo material. It is better than a
simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to
improve separation, but because of its mono, band­limited 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 fi ve
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 fi ve- 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, DTS­ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360­degree 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 DTS­ES 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 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 anti­alias and reconstruction fi lters with more favorable
aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to be
encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video
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.

“DTS” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of Digital
Theater Systems, Inc.

Dolby Digital identifi es the use of Dolby Digital audio
coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV.
As with fi lm sound, Dolby Digital can provide up
to fi ve 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
soundfi eld 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 specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro

II

playback, including separate left and right

Logic
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 IIx

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.

The Dolby 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. Dolby
utilizes patented headphone perspective curves to
solve this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,
immersive, home theater listening experience. Dolby
Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from
stereo material.

Dolby Virtual Speaker is a technologycertified
by Dolby Laboratories that creates a virtualized
surround sound experience from two speakers using
a multichannel Dolby Digital source. Additionally,
Dolby Virtual Speaker can simulate the surround
sound effect produced by Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby
Pro Logic II .
Dolby Virtual Speaker retains all the original
Multichannel audio information and provides the
listener with the sensation of being surrounded by
additional speakers.

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.

HDCD® (High Defi nition Compatible Digital ®) is a
patented process for delivering on Compact Disc the
full richness and details of the original microphone
feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are
encoded with 20-bits of real musical information as
compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode
the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining
completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more
dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage, and
extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With
HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the
original performance not a fl at, digital imitation.

There are several factors that can degrade the sound
from even the best loudspeakers in a listening room.
One of the most important is the interaction of sound
from the loudspeakers with large surfaces such as
walls, the fl oor, and the ceiling in the room. Even
with careful loudspeaker placement and acoustical
treatments, there are signifi cant problems that are
caused by room acoustics. These include refl ections
from nearby surfaces and standing waves that are
created between large parallel surfaces in the room.
In a home theater the situation is further complicated
because there are several listening locations. The
effects of room acoustics on the sound arriving at
each person’s ears are very different and the result is
a listening experience that is degraded in a different
way for every person in the room. It is not uncommon
to have variations in two adjacent seats that are as
large as 10 dB, particularly in the frequency range
below 250 Hz.
The solution to this problem is to apply room correction
after precisely measuring how each loudspeaker
interacts with the room. Because the room causes
variations in the frequency response of the
loudspeakers that are so large from seat to seat, it
is important to measure each loudspeaker at several
locations in the listening room. This should be done
even if there is only one listener. Measurement at a
single location is not representative of the acoustical
problems in the room and will in most cases, degrade
overall performance. Audyssey MultEQ is the only
technology that can achieve room correction for
multiple listeners in a large listening area. It does so
by combining the data collected at several points in
the room from each loudspeaker and then applying
correction that minimizes the acoustical effects of
the room and is matched to the frequency resolution
of human perception (known as psychoacoustics).
Furthermore, MultEQ correction is applied both
in frequency and time domains and so there are
no artifacts (such as smearing of sound or modal
ringing)that are sometimes associated with traditional
methods of room equalization.
In addition to correcting frequency response problems
over a wide listening area, Audyssey MultEQ
provides a completely automated sound system set­up process. It identifi es how many loudspeakers are
connected to the amplifi ers and whether they are full­range, satellites, or subwoofers. If there is a least one
subwoofer connected, Audyssey MultEQ determines
the optimum crossover frequency between each
satellite and the subwoofer(s). It automatically
checks the polarity of each loudspeaker and alerts
the user if there are any that may be wired out-

of-phase relative to the others. It measures the
distance to each loudspeaker from the main listening
position and adjusts the delays so that sound from
each loudspeaker arrives at the same time. Finally,
Audyssey MuitEQ determines the playback level of
each loudspeaker and adjusts the volume trims so
that all levels are equal.

• HDMI

HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is an
enhancement to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
standard. It adds capabilities for digitally transmitting
audio signals in addition to video signals. Where
multiple cables were previously needed for audio/
video, HDMI enables audio/video connection via a
single cable.
The HDMI input jacks of this receiver support HDMI
Ver. 1.2. and the HDMI output jacks of this transmitter
support HDMI Ver. 1.1.
Ver. 1.2 supports 1-bit audio formatting and enables
transmission of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) signals
of Super Audio CD.

Copyright Protection

This receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection). HDCP is copyright protection
technology that consists of data encoding and other
device authentication. Its purpose is to protect digital
video content. Both this receiver and the connected
component (such as a video player or monitor) must
support HDCP. Before connecting a component to
this receiver, refer to its instruction manual.

obtain the color information (Y, CB, CR) directly from
the recorded DVD signal or other video component
and two component video outputs 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.

Remote control unit (RC8001SR)

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.

1. Remove the back cover.

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

3. Close the cover until it clicks.

CAUTIONS ON BATTERIES

• Use “AAA” type batteries in this remote control
unit.

• We recommend that you use alkali batteries.

• If the remote control unit does not operate from
close to the main unit, replace the batteries with
new ones, even if less then a year has passed.

• The included battery is only for verifying operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as
possible.

• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in
the proper direction, following the + and - marks in
the remote control unit’s battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fl uid leakage:

- Do not use a new battery with an old one.

- Do not use two different types of batteries.

- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or

dispose of batteries in fl ames.

• Remove the batteries when not planning to use
the remote control unit for a long period of time.

• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the
fl uid from the inside of the battery compartment,
then insert new batteries.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public instruction’s rules that apply in your country
or area.

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
fl ash 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 fl uid leakage, overheating, fi re, breakage,
accidental ingestion, and other accidents.

• If the batteries are left unused for a long period
of time, the battery fl uid 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 fi re.

• 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 fl uid, and then replace the
batteries with new ones.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7­speaker 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 benefi ts 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.

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

When the SR7001 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 7.1­channel 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 70cm–1m.
Also place the speakers at the same height, as best
as possible.

70cm
1m

Note:

• Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,
right and the center speakers when the speakers are
installed near the TV and the TV is a monitor type.

The output audio signal from the TAPE OUT jack and
the CD/CD RECORDER OUT jack is the same signal
which is currently selected.

Caution:

• Do not connect this unit and other components
to mains power until all connections between
components have been completed.

Notes:

• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Incomplete
connections may make noise.

• Be sure to connect the left and right channels
properly.

Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and

white connectors are for the L (left) channel.

• Be sure to connect input and output properly.

• Refer to the instructions for each component that is
connected to this unit.

• Do not bind audio/video connection cables with
power cords and speaker cables this will result in
generating a hum or other noise.

CONNECTING DIGITAL AUDIO COMPONENTS

• There are 6 digital inputs, 3 coaxial jacks and
3 optical jacks, on the rear panel. You can use
these jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS
bitstream signals from a CD, DVD, or other digital
source components.

• There is one digital output coaxial jack and one
optical output jack on the rear panel. These jacks
can be connected to a CD recorder-, or a MD deck
inputs, respectively.

• Refer to the instructions for each component. To
setup the digital audio format of DVD player, or
other digital source’s connected to digital input
jacks.

• Use fi ber optical cables (optical) for DIG-1,2,3
input jacks. Use 75 ohms coaxial cables (for
digital audio or video) for DIG-4, 5, 6 input jacks.

• You can designate the input for each digital input/
output jacks according to your component. See
page 25.

Notes:

• There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Use an
external RF demodulator Dolby Digital decoder
when connecting the Dolby Digital RF output jack
of the videodisc player to the digital input jack.

• The digital signal jacks on the SR7001 conform
to the EIA standard. If you use a cable that does
not conform to this standard, the SR7001 may not
function properly.

• Each type of audio jack works independently.
Signals input through the digital and analog jacks are
output through the corresponding digital and analog
jacks, respectively.

HDMI JACK

HDMI
Ver1.2

This SR7001 has four HDMI inputs and one HDMI
output (The SR8001 has two HDMI outputs.). It can
send digital video and audio signals from DVDs and
other sources directly to a display. It minimizes signal
degradation caused by analog conversion so that high
quality images can be enjoyed.
The SR7001 is also capable of converting analog
video signals (Composite Video, S-Video, Component
Video) for HDMI output.
Select an input source from the OSD menu system.
(See page 25, 36)

Notes:

• When the HDMI output is connected to a display
monitor that does not support HDCP, signals are not
output. To view images in HDMI, it is necessary to
connect to a display that supports HDCP.

• There may be no image output if connected to a
TV or display that is not compatible with the above
format.

• Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or display to
be connected to the SR7001 for detailed information
regarding the HDMI terminal.

* HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

CONNECTING HDMI DEVICES

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is used to connect the
HDMI jack on the SR7001 with the HDMI jack on a DVD
player, TV, projector or other component. To transmit
multichannel audio via HDMI, the connected player
must support multichannel audio transmission through
its HDMI jack.
HDMI video streaming is compatible with DVI in
principle. Therefore, it is possible to connect to a TV
or monitor that has a DVI terminal using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable or plug. When connecting to a DVI
terminal, connect the audio signal separately.

Notes:

• Some HDMI components can be controlled over the
HDMI cable, but this receiver cannot control other
components this way.

• When connected to a monitor (i.e., TV, projector,
etc.) that does not support HDCP, video and audio
are not output.

• DVI cables come with 24-pin and 29-pin plugs. This
receiver supports 24-pin DVI-D cables; 29-pin DVI
cables cannot connect to it.

• Some source devices such as DVD players or set
top box do not support HDMI repeater operations
like those of the SR7001. In such case, pictures are
not properly projected on monitors such as TVs and
projectors.

• When multiple components are connected to this
receiver, turn power to unused components off to
prevent interference between them.

• Disconnecting or connecting cables with the power
on can damage the equipment. Turn the power off
before disconnecting or connecting cables.

• Some DVD-Audio disks disable downmixing.
These types of disks are not played back correctly
unless the left, center, right and surround left and
right speakers, and subwoofer are connected.

• If a DVD player that does not support HDMI 1.1
is connected to the SR7001, multi channel PCM
playback is not possible even with DVD-Audio
disks.

• If an Super Audio CD player that does not support
HDMI 1.2 is connected to the receiver, DSD
playback is not possible even with Super Audio
CD.

(*DSD: Direct Stream Digital)

• If a DVD player or other device with DVI output
is connected to the SR7001, a separate audio
cable (optical-digital, coaxial digital or analog) is
needed for the audio signals. In this case, select the
connected audio input as explained in “1-1 FUNC
INPUT SETUP”. (See page 25)

• Multi channel PCM signals and audio signals of 62
kHz or higher that are input from the HDMI jack are
not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

• Depending on the quiality of the cable used, the
HDMI signal may be affected by noise.

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 S-VIDEO
signals enables high-quality color reproduction. If
your video component has an S-VIDEO output, we
recommend to use it. Connect the S-VIDEO output
jack on your video component to the S-VIDEO input
jack on the SR7001.

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 SR7001 to the monitor.

Notes:

Be sure to connect the left and right audio channels

•
properly.

Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and

white connectors are the for L (left) channel.

• Be sure to connect the inputs and outputs of the
video signals properly.

•

If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal to
the S-VIDEO or component jack on the SR7001, it is
not necessary to connect the conventional video signal
to the VIDEO (composite) jack. If you use both video
inputs, the SR7001 gives priority to the S-VIDEO
signal.

• Each type of video jack works independently.
Signals input to the VIDEO (composite) and S­VIDEO jacks or component are output to the
corresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO
or component jacks, respectively.

T

he SR7001

•

has the “TV-AUTO ON/OFF” function
to turn the TV ON or OFF automatically, by sensing
the incoming video signal from the VIDEO jacks.

• You may need to setup the digital audio output
format of your DVD player, or other digital source
components. Refer to the instructions of the each
component connected to the digital input jacks.

• There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Use an
external RF demodulator Dolby Digital decoder
when connecting the Dolby Digital RF output jack
of the videodisc player to the digital input jack.

• The COMPONENT OUTPUT 1 and 2 terminals
of the SR7001 can output the same video signal.
Moreover, the OUTPUT 2 terminal of the SR8001
can output video signals for multi room playback.

q

You can control other Marantz products through the
SR7001 with the remote control by connecting the
REMOTE CONTROL terminals on each unit.
The signal transmitted from the remote control is
received by the remote sensor on the SR7001. Then
the signal is sent to the connected device through
this terminal. Therefore you need to aim the remote
control only at the SR7001. Also, if a Marantz power
amplifi er (some models excluded) is connected to
one of these terminals, the power amplifi er’s, power
switch is synchronized with this unit’s power switch.

Set the REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH on the other
units, (not the SR7001) to “EXT.” (external) to use
this feature.
