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 SR8300 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 SR8300 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 certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
THX requirements cover every aspect of performance including preamplifier 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 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 fiveor 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 multi-channel 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.

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1 kHz.
Professional audio has been 20or 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 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 full-motion video, for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.
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.)
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.

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel 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.

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 SBR(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
SR8300. The SR8300 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.
9
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 SR8300 to the red terminals on the speaker and the black (–) terminals on the SR8300 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 SR8300 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 SR8300 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 SR8300 is turned on.
•The capacity of this AC outlet is 120W. Do not connect devices that consume electricity more than the capacity to this AC outlet. If total power consumption of connected devices exceeds the capacity, protection circuit shuts down the power supply.
⁄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 SR8300 by using an external device.
The RS232C port may also be used in the future to update the operating software of the SR8300 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 SR8300 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.
