The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal
The surround mode is selected with the surround mode buttons on SR9600 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;

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 SR9600 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 SR9600 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 and Ultra 2 are trademarks or registered
trademarks 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.
The THX Ultra2 specification provides
uncompromised 7.1 channel playback of any multichannel program, whether movie soundtracks or
music over the widest possible seating area.
There are an additional two processing’s for THX
Ultra2 as bellow.
A.S.A. (Advanced Speaker Array)
“ASA” is a proprietary THX technology which
processes the sound fed to 2 surround and 2
surround back speakers to provide the optimal
surround sound experience. When you set up your
home theater system using all eight speaker
outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right,
Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left,
Surround Left and Subwoofer), placing the two
Surround Back speakers close together facing the
front of the room as shown in the diagram will
provide the largest sweet spot. If for practical
reasons you have to place the Surround Back
speakers apart, you will need to go to the THXAudio Set-up screen and choose the setting that
most closely corresponds to the speaker distance,
which will re-optimize the surround sound-field.
ASA is used in two new surround modes; THX
Ultra2 Cinema, THX Music Mode and THX Games
mode.
B.G.C. (Boundary Gain Compensation)
If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or
aesthetic reasons) results in most of the listeners
being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level
can be sufficiently reinforced by the boundary that
the overall sound quality becomes “boomy”. THX
Ultra2 receivers contain the BGC (Boundary Gain
Compensation) feature to provide an improved
bass balance. BGC can be selected by choosing
“THX Ultra2 Subwoofer-Yes” from the “Boundary
Gain Compensation” section of the “THX Audio
setup menu”.

THX Surround EX—Dolby DIgital Surround EX is a
y
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.

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.

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 la

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.

Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at
44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24bit for some time, and there is increasing interest in
higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide
extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates
allow wider frequency response and the use of
anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more
favorable aural characteristics.
DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to
be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVDVideo titles.
When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to
deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only
in two channels, and with serious limitations on
picture. This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new
player is needed, and only analog outputs are
provided, necessitating the use of the D/A
converters and analog electronics provided in the
player.
DTS 96/24 offers the following:
1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master.
2. Full backward compatibility with all existing
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48
kHz signal)
3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be
carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of
DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.
4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fullmotion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

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 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.
About Dolby Pro Logic IIx

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.

Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the doubleD symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
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 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

SERVICE HINTS
AVSS Function Check (P314 PWB)
AVSS is the function that switches B voltage automatically
depending on the volume of the input signal.
To check whether B voltage is switched or not, follow the
procedure below.
1. Check if B voltage is switched to High.
If maximum power (or +/-51V to +/-65V) can be output,
it is OK. IF wave form is clipped and maximum power is
not output, it is NG.
2. Check if B voltage is switched to Low.
If B voltage can be output to +/-33-40v, it is OK.
Note: Once B voltage is switched to High, it is kept High for
1 minute. B voltage is Low upon turning on the power
(initial status) if there is no signal input.
Cooling Fan Check (P254 PWB)
There is three speeds for the cooling fan, stop, Low Speed
and High Speed, depending on the temperature of the heat
sink.
Heat sink temperature is monitored with RN67, RN68,
thermo sensors for cooling fan.
If heat sink temperature becomes higher, resistance of the
sensors also becomes higher.
To check the cooling fan, connect test resisters to pin 1 - 5
(JN08) or pin 2 - 5 (JN08) where the thermo sensors are
connected.
Two sensors are in the both sides of a heat sink.
There are two ways of checking.
One of way, Remove either sensor and connect the test
resister. Other one, remove both sensors. And one connects
0 ohm and another connects test resistor.
The check of the thermo sensors RN67 and RN68 for Fan
uses a drier etc.
And check the resistance of a sensor. (RN67 and RN68)
