DESCRIPTION

THX® is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm 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 SR8200 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-filters 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 SR8200 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 Ultra certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.

THX Ultra 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 benefit 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 Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.

In a movie theater, film 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 a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging.

A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at

http ://www.dolby.com.

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.

DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel 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 trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel 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 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.)

ENGLISH

Circle Surround is backward compatible, such that surround playback is possible from any stereo or passive matrix-encoded material.

Five full-bandwidth, discrete channels of information can be extracted from an enormous library of material not multi-channel encoded. These sources include many of today’s DVDs and laser discs, as well as most all video tape, VCD, Compact Disc, radio and television broadcast material.

z DIGITAL INPUT (Dig.1 - 6) / OUTPUT

(coaxial, optical)

These are the digital audio inputs and outputs. There are 3 digital inputs with coaxial jacks, 3 with optical jacks.

The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component.

For digital output, there is 1 coaxial output and 1 optical output.

The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders,

DAT decks, or other similar components.

x Preamp Outputs (L, R, SL, SR, SBL,

SBR, C)

Jacks for L(front left),R(front right), C(Center), SL(surround left),

SR(surround right),SBL(surround back left)and SR(surround back right).

Use these jacks for connection to some external power amplifiers.

c Subwoofer Output

Connect this jack to the line level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. If you are using two subwoofers, either powered or with a 2 channel subwoofer amplifier, connect a “Y” connector to the subwoofer output jack and run one cable from it to each subwoofer amplifier.

v FM antenna terminal (75 ohms)

Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxial cable, or a cable network FM source.

AM antenna and ground terminals

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna. Use the terminals marked

“AM” and “GND”. The supplied AM loop antenna will provide good

AM reception in most areas. Position the loop antenna until you hear the best

b Multiroom Outputs (Audio L&R, Video)

These are the audio and video output jacks for the remote zone (Multi

Room).

Connect these jacks to the optional audio power amplifiers or video display devices to view and listen to the source selected by the mulitroom system in a remote room.

n MONITOR OUT

There are 2 monitor outputs 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.

m 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

SR8200. The SR8200 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, CB, CR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other 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 lifelike colors and crisp detail.

Notes:

•This component video output is available to OSD menu system.

,Speaker outputs terminals (for Main

room)

Six terminals are provided for the front left, front right, front center, surround left, surround right and surround back (LEFT) speakers.

ENGLISH

. Speaker outputs terminals (for Multi room)

Two terminals are provided for the left and right speakers for

Multiroom(2nd zone)

Notes:

•Connect the these jacks to the matching + or – terminals on your speakers. When making speaker connections, always make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the red (+) terminals on the SR8200 to the red terminals on the speaker and the black (–) terminals on the SR8200 to the black terminals on the speakers.

⁄0AC INLET

Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the power outlet on the wall.

⁄1AC OUTLETS

Connect the AC power cables of components such as a DVD and CD player to these outlets. SWITCHED and UNSWITCHED outlets are provided.

The one marked SWITCHED provides power only when the SR8200 is turned on and is useful for components which you use every time you play your system.

The one marked UNSWITCHED is always live as long as the SR8200 is plugged into a live outlet.

A component connected here may be left on permanently, or may be switched off with its own power switch.

Caution:

•In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps, anything plugged in here should be powered up before the SR8200 is turned on.

⁄2VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, DSS, VCR1,

VCR2)

These are the video inputs and outputs. There are 5 video inputs and

2 video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S- video configurations. Connect VCRs, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs.

S-video sources can be viewed through the S-video outputs, and composite sources can only be viewed through the composite output. The 2 video output channels can be used to be connected to video tape recorders for making recordings.

⁄3AUDIO IN/OUT (CD, TAPE, CD-R, TV,

DVD, DSS, VCR1, VCR2)

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 9 audio inputs (5 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players,DVD players and etc.... The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

⁄47.1 CHANNEL INPUT

By connecting a DVD Audio player, SACD player, or other component that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel output.

⁄5RS232C

The RS232C port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the SR8200 by using an external device.

The RS232C port may also be used in the future to update the operating software of the SR8200 so that it will be able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.

⁄6REMOTE CONT. IN/OUT terminals

Connect to a Marantz component equipped with remote control (RC-

5) terminals.

⁄7MULTI ROOM REMOTE IN/OUT terminals

IN: Connect to multi-room remote control device, available from your Marantz dealer.

OUT: Connect to the Marantz component equipped with remote control (RC-5) terminals in another room (Second zone).

⁄8DC TRIGGER output terminals

Connect a device that needs to be triggered by DC under certain conditions (screen, power strip, etc…)

Use the system OSD setup menu to determine the conditions by which these jacks will be active.

Note:

•This output voltage is for (status) control only, It is not sufficient for drive capability.

⁄9External IR transmitter terminal

If the SR8200 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow infrared beams to transmit to 2way remote commander, you will need to connect a IR transmitter to this output to be able to use the 2way remote controller.

Then install the remote transmitter in an unblocked location where you can easily receive IR signal.

Note:

• An optional remote transmitter kit is required.
