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 SR7500 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 SR7500 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 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 is a trademark or registered trademark of THX Ltd. Surround EX is a jointly developed technology of THX and Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Used under authorization. All rights reserved.

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

“SURROUND EX™” is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Used under authorization.

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 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.

Page 7

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 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 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 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 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.

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.

(SR8500 only)

HDCD® (High Definition 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 flat, digital imitation.

HDCD system manufactured under license from Microsoft. This product is covered by one or more of the following: In the United States 5,479,168 5,638,074 5,640,161 5,808,574 5,838,274 5,854,600 5,864,311 5,872,531 and in Australia 669,114 with other patents pending.

VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, VCR1, DSS/VCR2)

These are the video inputs and outputs. There are 4 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. The 2 video output channels can be used to be connected to video tape recorders for making recordings.

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 reception.

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 SR7500. The SR7500 has 4 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 life like colors and crisp detail.

FLASHER IN (Flasher input terminal)

These terminals are to control the unit from each zone. Connect the control signal from a Keypad, etc.

MONITOR OUT

These are 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 connections.

RS-232C

The RS-232C port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the SR7500 by using an external device. The RS-232C port may also be used in the future to update the operating software of the SR7500 so that it will be able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.

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

• 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 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.

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

Surround Back Left

Surround Back Right

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 Right

Subwoofer

Front Left

Front Center

Front Right

Surround left and right speakers

When the SR7500 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 70cm– 1m. Also place the speakers at the same height, sa best as possible.

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.

CONNECTING FOR SPEAKER C USE

Bi-wire Connection

A bi-wire connection is possible with speakers that have two sets of inputs (for treble and bass). This allows you to drive the treble and bass units with separate channel amps, which enables better sound quality. Connect the speakers as shown in the figure. Set the SPEAKER C selector switch on the rear panel to ON.

Notes:

• If incorrectly connected, a protective circuit in the receiver will trip and set the receiver to standby. (The STANDBY indicator will flash.) In such case, recheck the connections between the speakers and the receiver.

• Turn power to the receiver off before changing the setting of the SPEAKER C selector switch.

BASIC OPERATION

(PLAY BACK)

SELECTING AN INPUT SOURCE

Before you can listen to any input media, you must first select the input source on the SR7500.

Example : DVD

To select DVD, turn the INPUT FUNCTION SELECTOR knob on the front panel or simply

press the DVD button on the remote. After you have selected DVD, simply turn on the DVD player and play the DVD.

• As the input source is changed, the new input name will appear momentarily an OSD information on the video display. The input name will also appear in the display, on the front-panel.

• As the input is changed, the SR7500 will automatically switch to the digital input, surround mode, attenuation, and night mode status which were entered during the configuration process for that source.

• When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the VCR1 & DSS/ VCR2 Outputs and Monitor Output. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

• When a Video source is selected, the video signal for that input will be routed to the Monitor Output jacks and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the SR7500. If a component video input is connected to the DVD or DSS component inputs, it will be routed to the Component Video Output. Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input to view the signal.

DVI-D INPUT (SR8500 only)

When DVI-D is set as the input source, monitor output is DVI-D as well.

VIDEO CONVERT

The signal cannot be converted from the component to the video or S-video.

ADJUSTING THE MAIN VOLUME

When this function is activated, the video or S-video signal can be emitted from the video, Svideo or component video output terminal. To activate this function, select VIDEO CONVERT in PREFERENCE menu and set ENABLE.

Notes:

• The component video signal is emitted only from component video output terminal. When the video equipment is connected by component terminal, connect the monitor and SR7500 by the component terminal.

• This function is unavailable for the REC out terminal.

•

This function is unavailable for the still picture, fast forward and reverse playing of the video component.

• If, while attempting to use the video convert feature, the SR7500 cannot synchronize with the display device, “NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor, or noise is generated, this feature cannot be used. All of these signs are caused by equipment incompatibility; there is nothing wrong with the SR7500.

In such case, set VIDEO CONVERT in the PREFERENCE menu to DISABLE. Also, connect the video input signal to the display device via the MONITOR OUT terminal under VIDEO and the S-video input signal to the display device via the MONITOR OUT terminal under S-VIDEO.

Notes of OSD menu:

• The setup menu can be displayed through all video out (COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, VIDEO).

• The setting informations (e.g. volume setting) are displayed through all video out when the VIDEO CONVERT function are set ENABLE.

Note:

No setting information is displayed when the signal is emitted from the COMPONENT IN to COMPONENT OUT.

• The setting informations (e.g. volume setting) are displayed through the S-VIDEO or VIDEO out when the VIDEO CONVERT function are set DISABLE. When the S-VIDEO and VIDEO outputs are used simultaneously, the setting informations are displayed through the S-VIDEO out only.

SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE

Example: AUTO SURROUND

Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the

VOLUME control knob on the front panel or VOL / buttons on the remote.

To increase the volume, turn the VOLUME knob clockwise or press VOL button on the remote, to decrease the volume, turn counterclockwise or press VOL button on the remote.

Notes:

• The volume can be adjusted within the range of –

∞ to 18 dB, in steps of 1 dB.

•

However, when the channel level is set as described on page 20, if the volume for any channel is set at +1 dB or greater, the volume cannot be adjusted up to 18 dB. (In this case the maximum volume adjustment range is “18 dB - Maximum value of channel level)

SURROUND MODE

The SR7500 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or PCM-audio. Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTSES auto trigger flag in the digital signal. When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played. Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic IIx movie processing before play. PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode.

Notes:

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 24 to confirm the available decoding mode.

THX

THX mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel, surround sources. The THX processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of top-quality theater. Use the THX mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast. In this mode, THX Surround EX will not operate in this mode.

THX SURROUND EX

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. THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source whenever THX is active. THX Surround EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker(s).

Note:

• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EXencoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode.

MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic

x MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME)

This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital. Playing multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-channel Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic IIx has 3 modes. Please see below.

Pro Logic II x MOVIE

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks.

Pro Logic II x MUSIC

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, Tape, FM, TV, Stereo VCR, etc.

Pro Logic II x GAME

Game mode restores the impact low-frequency surround effects by routing them to the system’s subwoofer.

ENGLISH

Page 30

ENGLISH

Notes:

• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER is set NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See SPEAKER SETUP, page 19)

• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2ch input signal which is encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

EX/ES

This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such as DVD. This mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Dolby Digital EX

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. Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker(s).

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround center channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channel(s) and higher quality of audio reproduction. DTS-ES is not available in the system without a surround back speaker.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)

This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2 channel sources.

dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multichannel. Playing multichannel encoded 5.1-channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode. The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

Notes:

•

Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

MULTI CH. ST

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

CIRCLE SURROUND

(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)

Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel surround sound playback of non-encoded and multichannel encoded material. Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to 6.1 channels of surround performance from entire collection of music and film, including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music. Depending on source material, you can select

CSII -Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII Mono mode.

Notes:

• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing. In stereo program sources, the left and right channels play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input. With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multichannels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

PURE DIRECT

In the pure direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in this mode.

Notes:

• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = LARGE, Center = LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer = YES automatically. Tone controls and additional processing are also defeated.

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

CAUTION

NOTE for DTS signal

* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-

player needs to support DTS-digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the SR7500 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR7500 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

* Depending on the player used, DTS play may

produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are

playing in another Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN MENU or the A/D button.

* You can not listen to DTS-encorded course in

Multi room.

* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2

OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal

* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-

encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-

encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio

* AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modes

can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from SR7500 will be muted.

* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.

For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

* Some DVD formatted discs feature copy

protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

NOTE for HDCD signal (SR8500 only)

* HDCD is effective only at the time of digital

input.

* AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modes

can be used when playing HDCD signals (such as from CD discs that contain HDCD).

* You may not be able to play some HDCD source

signals from certain CD players if you connect the player to the SR8500 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR8500 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.

Page 31

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on SR7500 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and input signal. That relationship is as follows;

SELECTING ANALOG AUDIO INPUT OR DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT

If you have already assigned the digital inputs, you can temporarily select the audio input mode for each input source as following procedures. Press the AMP button and press the > button until PAGE4 is displayed. Press the A/D (D3) button. When this button is pressed, the input mode is switched in the following sequence.

→ Digital Auto → Digital → Analog → Digital Auto....

In Digital Auto mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and analog input jacks for the selected input source are detected automatically. If no digital signal is being input, the analog input jacks are selected automatically. In Digital mode, input is fixed to an assigned digital input terminal. In analog mode, the analog input jacks are selected. This selecting is temporary, so the result will not be stored in memory. If you need to change the input mode completely, use INPUT SETUP in OSD menu system. (see page 19)

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the SR7500 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for TAPE OUT, CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT in the record mode.

To record the input source signal you are currently watching or listening to

Select the input source to record by turning the INPUT FUNCTION SELECTOR knob on the front panel or simply press the input selector buttons on the remote. The input source is now selected and you may watch or listen to it as desired.

The currently selected input source signal is output to the TAPE OUT, CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT outputs for recording.

Start recording to the recording component as desired.

Recording the video from one source and the audio from another

You can add the sound from one source to the video of another source to make your own video recordings. Below is an example of recording the sound from a compact disc player connected to CD IN and the video from a video camera connected to VCR1 to video cassette recorder connected to the DSS/ VCR2 OUT jack.

Switch the video output source to VCR1 by simply pressing the input selector buttons on the remote.

Switch the audio input source to CD by simply pressing the input selector buttons on the remote.

Now “CD” has been selected as the audio input source and “VCR1” as the video input source.

Notes:

• If you change the input source during recording, you will record the signals from the newly selected input source.

• You cannot record the surround effects.

• Digital input signals are only output to the digital

outputs. There is no conversion from digital to analog .

When connecting CD players and other digital components, do not connect only the digital terminals, but the analog ones as well.

SPEAKER A/B

SR7500 has speaker system - A and speaker system- B for front L/R channels. You can select these systems by pressing

SPEAKERS A/B button on the front panel or SPKAB on the remote.

7.1 CH INPUT

The SR7500 is equipped for future expansion through the use of Multi channel SACD multichannel player or DVD-Audio player. When this is selected, the input signals connected to the L(front left), R (front right), CENTER, SL (surround left), SR (surround right) and SBL (surround back left) and SBR (surround back right) channels of the 7.1 CH. In jacks are output directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) and surround back speaker systems as well as the pre-out jacks without passing through the surround circuitry. In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT SW (subwoofer) jack. When 7.1 CH. INPUT is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Monitor Outputs. This permits simultaneous viewing with video sources

AUX2 INPUT

If you don’t need to connect 7.1 Ch. input terminals with multi channel decoder, L(front left) and R (front right) inputs terminals are available as AUX2 input. In this case, You can connect additional audio source to AUX2 as other audio input terminals.

LIP.SYNC

Depending on the image device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.) connected to the SR7500, a time lag can occur between image signal processing and audio signal processing. Though minor, this time lag can interfere with movie and music enjoyment. The LIP.SYNC feature delays the audio signal with respect to the image signal output from the SR7500 to correct the time lag between the sound and image. It can be operated with the “LIP.SYNC” and and cursor buttons of the remote controller. Set the remote controller to the AMP mode before operating the LIP.SYNC feature. The initial setting is OFF (0 ms).The time lag can be adjusted in 10 ms steps up to 200 ms. Watch the picture on the image device (i.e., TV, monitor, projector, etc.) as you adjust the time lag.

Note:

• The LIP.SYSNC feature turns OFF (0 ms) in the PURE DIRECT mode. When the PURE DIRECT mode is deactivated, the set value of the LIP.SYSNC feature is automatically restored.

Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM signal. Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of FM stations using station and network names, rather than broadcast frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search for programme types.

RADIO TEXT

Some RDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT, which is additional information on the station and programme being broadcast. RADIO TEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character by the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until the entire text has been completely received.

RDS DISPLAY

When a receiver is tuned to an FM station that is transmitting RDS data, the Front Panel Information Display will automatically show the station name or RDS TEXT in place of the typical display of the station’s broadcast frequency. To change the display, press the TUNER button and press the the > button until PAGE3 is displayed. Press the DISP (D1) button.

PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY) DISPLAY

The RDS system categorizes programmes according to their genre into different programme type (PTY) groups. To display the programme type information of the current station, press the TUNER button and press the the > button until PAGE3 is displayed. Press the PTY (D2) button.

PTY AUTO SEARCH

Your receiver is equipped to automatically search for stations transmitting any of 29 different programme types. To search for a PTY, follow these procedures:

Press the PTY button in the TUNER MODE on the remote controller. The current station’s PTY will be displayed, or the currently selected PTY group will be displayed in blinking if no station or RDS data is present.

To change to a new PTY type, press the

TUNING or button on the front panel or numeric buttons on the remote until the

desired PTY is shown in the display.

Once the desired PTY group or type has been selected, press the PTY button while the display blink (approx. 5 seconds). The PTY Auto search will start, and the tuner will pause at each station broadcasting RDS PTY information corresponding to the selected choice.

To advance to the next RDS station with the desired PTY, press the PTY button again within 5 seconds.

PROGRAMMING MACROS

This remote control can program a series of button operations in sequence. Macros are a function that makes it possible to use a single button operation to perform a complex series of button operations any number of times. A single button can be programmed to perform up to 20 steps in sequence. A total of 20 buttons can be programmed with macros.

• For example, the following sequence of operations can be programmed to a macro.

Switch amplifier to DVD source → Set amplifier mode to AUTO → Play DVD player → Switch TV to video input

The factory default for the transmission interval (time) between macro operations is one second, but these signal transmission intervals can be set between approximately 0.5 seconds and 5 seconds in the Setup mode. Each transmission interval can be adjusted independently when programming or revising a macro.

Note:

• If the signal transmission interval (interval time) is changed using the Setup mode (described later), this transmission interval is applied to all macro programs. To change individual signal transmission intervals, use the procedures in this section for programming macros and revising macros.

• No signals are transmitted while programming a macro.

• The M button, > button, cursor buttons, MEMO button, CLEAR button, and VOL buttons cannot be programmed.

• If no button is pressed for approximately one minute during programming, the remote control returns to the state before macro mode.

In this case, the macro program is not stored.

• When executing macro mode, performing the source switching operation two or more times only changes the remote control mode and does not transmit any signals. (Switching of the source selector of the amplifier is valid only once.)

PROGRAMMING MACROS

This example shows how to program a macro to the M-01 button. (The screens shown in the example are the default factory states. If the names of direct buttons were rewritten, these modified names would be displayed.)
