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 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 THX Audio 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 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 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.

“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 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

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.

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.

• i.LINK Transmission Formats

i.LINK is the generic name for the IEEE 1394 digital interface standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It covers the transmission of data such as digital sound and the operation of connected devices. Two i.Link transmission formats are MPEG-2TS, which is used in digital broadcasting, and DV, which is used by DVD recorders and for digital video. This receiver supports the i.LINK (Audio)format. Only components that support i.LINK (Audio) can be connected to the SR9600. i.LINK (Audio) makes it possible to digitally transmit multichannel audio from DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs. This receiver also supports flow rate control. Using a high-precision crystal oscillator, this receiver can convert digital signals into analog signals without them being affected by jitter.

(i.LINK and the i.LINK logo Sony Corp.)

This receiver supports DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). DTCP protects copyrights by authenticating and encoding data transmissions between digital components that use i.LINK. To play back DVD-Audio or Super Audio CDs using i.LINK, the connected device must support DTCP. Before connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its instruction manual

• HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition 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 jacks of this receiver support HDMI Ver.

1.1. The multichannel signals of DVD-Audio can be transmitted as digital signals without conversion.

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.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker setup for this unit is 8speaker, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, 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 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” 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 setting the front left and right speakers 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speaker

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front left and right speakers. Or, place the center speaker a little back from the line.

same height, as best as possible.

CONNECTING A SUBWOOFER

Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a powered subwoofer (the power amplifier is built in ).

If your subwoofer is a passive type (

the

power amplifier is not built in), connect a monaural power amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and connect the subwoofer to the amplifier.

Note:

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

CONNECTING SPEAKER WIRE

Strip away approx. 10 mm (3/8 inch) of wire insulation.

Twist the bared wire ends tight, to prevent short circuits.

Loosen the knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole inside each terminal.

Tighten the knob by turning it clockwise to secure the wire.

HDMI JACK

This unit has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. 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. Select an input source from the OSD menu system. (See page 44)

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 SR9600 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 SR9600 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; 29pin DVI cables cannot connect to it.

• 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

DVD PLAYER VIDEO PROJECTOR

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 SR9600, multi channel PCM playback is not possible even with DVD-Audio disks.

• If a DVD player or other device with DVI output is connected to the SR9600, a separate audio cable (i.Link, 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 33)

• 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.

CD RECORDER

You can control other Marantz products through the SR9600 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 SR9600, then the signal is sent to the connected device through this terminal. Therefore you need to aim the remote control only at the SR9600. Also, if a Marantz power amplifier (some models excluded) is connected to one of these terminals, the power amplifier’s power switch is synchronized with this unit’s power switch.

Set the REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH on the other units, (not the SR9600) to “EXT.”(external) to use this feature.

Whenever external infrared sensors or similar devices are connected to the RC-5 IN jack on the SR9600, be sure to always disable operation of the infrared sensor on the SR9600 by using the following procedure.

Hold down the MULTI button and the MENU button on the front panel at the same time for five seconds.

The setting “IR=ENABLE” is shown on the FL display.

Press the ENTER buttons to change this to

“IR=DISABLE”.

Press the OK/ENTER button for five seconds. The infrared sensor on the main unit is now disabled.

Note:

• Be sure to set to “IR=ENABLE” when external infrared sensors or similar devices are not connected. Otherwise, the SR9600 will be unable to receive remote control commands.

To restore to the original setting, perform steps 1 to 4 and set to “IR=ENABLE”.

CONNECTING FOR SPEAKER C USE

Bi-amp connection

A bi-amp 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 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.) If this occur, recheck the connections between the speakers and the receiver.

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

• If the speaker is fitted with a shorting bar, remove the shorting bar.

i.LINK (AUDIO)

CONNECTING i.LINK COMPONENTS

The SR9600 connects to i.LINK components that support up to S400 (400 Mbps). Use a 4-pin i.LINK cable that supports S400 for i.LINK connections with this receiver. Video data cannot be transmitted via the i.LINK (Audio) supported by this receiver. To connect to a video component, connect the video signal separately. When connected to other Marantz products using i.LINK, the system can be operated over the i.LINK cable.

Notes:

• The i.LINK feature of the SR9600 supports only devices (digital broadcast receiver (MPEG-2 TS), digital video (DV), etc.) that support i.LINK (Audio). Do not connect unsupported devices because malfunctions can occur.

• During playback of an i.LINK device, do not disconnect or connect the i.LINK cable of other devices. Also, do not connect new devices or turn the power on/off. This can cut off the sound.

• Some i.LINK devices cannot relay data while power is off or the device is on standby. See the instruction manual of the connected device.

The SR9600 does not relay data in this state either.

When multiple i.LINK components are connected to the receiver, data can be transmitted through the other i.LINK components. The components do not have to be connected in a specific order to do this. (see page 34) i.LINK does not distinguish between input and output terminals in two-way communications. Input and output are switched according to the direction in which signals flow.

Example connection :

Up to 17 devices can be connected in a daisy chain. The SR9600 can detect up to 15 components.

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

Example connection :

Up to 63 devices can be connected in a tree formation by branching. This kind of connection is possible with devices that have 3 or more i.LINK connectors.

• The maximum data transfer speed of an i.LINK

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

device is labeled near to its i.LINK connector. This maximum data speed is standardized as S100 (100 Mbps), S200 (200 Mbps) and S400 (400 Mbps). The SR9600 has a maximum data transfer

i.LINK

component

speed of S400, but if the connected device supports only S100 or S200, the actual data transfer may be slower than 400 Mbps.

Mbps stands for “mega bits per second” . It

Bad connection example:

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

expresses the quantity of data that can be sent in 1 second. The SR9600 supports S400, therefore it sends 400 Mb of data every second.

• The i.LINK feature does not assure the connection and operation of all i.LINK devices. Whether data and control signals can be exchanged between i.LINK devices or not will depend on the

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

i.LINK

component

functions of each device.

• Carefully check the configuration of the i.LINK connector before connecting an i.LINK cable. Forcing the cable into the connector in the wrong orientation can damage the connector.

Do not connect devices in a loop as shown in the figure.

• Do not connect an i.LINK cable with power to the SR9600 on.

• Use an i.LINK cable that is no longer than 3.5 m and that supports S400.

• Some players require i.LINK setup. For details, see the instruction manual of the device.

* Some devices may require you to make settings

with the device connected to the SR9600 during the setup.

• Audio signals input from the i.LINK connector are not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

• With some source devices, it takes time before sound is produced. This time is needed to detect the status of both the device and the SR9600. The amount of time will differ according to the connected player.

Once the devices have been connected, activate power to the SR9600 and components, and make the settings as explained in “i.LINK SETUP” (see page 34). The i.LINK feature works as a temporary input source unless the settings are made. (See page 48)

BASS MIX

• The bass mix setting is only valid when

“LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES”

is set for the subwoofer during stereo playback . This setting has effect only during playback of

PCM or analog stereo sources.

• When “BOTH” is selected, the low frequencies

will be played through the main left and right speakers, as well as the subwoofer.

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expands more uniformly throughout the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

• By selecting “MIX”, the low frequencies will play

through the main left and right speakers only.

Note:

• LFE signals during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS will be played through the subwoofer.

NIGHT MODE

Tap the Night on the remote control unit to turn on the Night mode. Setting the Night mode to “ON” compresses the dynamic range in Dolby Digital only. This softens loud passages such as sudden explosions, to help prevent disturbing others late at night.

To turn off the Night mode, tap the Night again.

DIALOGUE NORMALIZATION MESSAGE

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message on the FL display which will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example, if you see the following message: "Dial Norm + 4 dB" on the FL display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message on the FL display, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

RE-EQ

This menu is for turning THX Cinema Re-EQ™ on and off. The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theater environments. Activating the Cinema Re-EQ™ mode when watching a film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance. Cinema Re-EQ™ is therefore not necessary for material that was not designed for movie theaters (for example, sports programming, television shows, made for TV movies, etc.). The Cinema Re-EQ™ mode can be activated only while in Dolby Pro Logic mode, or while decoding Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded material.

Tap the “Re EQ” on the remote control unit to turn on the Re-EQ™ mode.

To turn off the Re-EQ™ mode, tap the “Re EQ” again.

Note:

• The Re-EQ™ mode can be selected from the OSD menu system. (See page 41)

LIP.SYNC

Depending on the display component (TV, monitor, projector, etc.) connected to the SR9600, 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 mode delays the audio signal with respect to the image signal output from the SR9600 to correct the time lag between the sound and image.

Tap the A/V Amp and press the page up button until page 5/8 is displayed. Tap the “L-

Sync” on the remote control unit.

Select the time lag with the and cursor buttons on the remote control unit.

The initial setting is “OFF” (0 ms). The time lag can be adjusted in 10 ms increments up to 200 ms. Watch the picture on the image device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector, etc.) as you adjust the time lag.

Note:

• The Lip.Sync mode is set to “OFF” (0 ms) in the Pure Direct and Source Direct mode. Pure Direct (or Source Direct) mode is deactivated, the previously set value of the Lip. Sync automatically restored.

SURROUND MODE

SURROUND

The SR9600 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.

SOURCE DIRECT

In the Source Direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full-range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction.

Notes:

• Speaker size is set to Front L/R = LARGE, Center = LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer = YES automatically. Tone controls, equalizer and additional processing are deactivated.

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

PURE DIRECT

The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode, by blocking output from the video jacks (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO and HDMI) and turning the FL display off.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the SR9600 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 sources that have a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES 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 II x 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. See page 53 to confirm the available decoding modes.

THX CINEMA

THX Cinema mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic multichannel, surround sources. The THX processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreate the sound of top-quality theater. Use the THX Cinema mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast. In this mode, the THX Surround EX mode is not available.

THX SURROUND EX

Note:

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

THX ULTRA2 CINEMA

THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all

7.1 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode, ASA processing blends the surround L/R speakers and surround back speakers, providing the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sound. This mode permits the playback of a non Surround EX/ES-encoded 5.1 movie over a 7.1 system. DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected, if the appropriate flag has been encoded. Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.

THX MUSIC

For the replay of multichannel music, the THX Music mode should be selected. In this mode, THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1-encoded music sources, such as DTS and Dolby Digital, to provide a wide, stable, rear soundstage. This mode is to be used with multichannel music sources such as DTS 5.1 music and Dolby Digital

5.1 music.

Notes:

• These modes are only available when you have setup SPEAKER SIZE menu system (i.e. 2 surround back speakers).

• These modes are only available when the input signal has surround left and surround right contents.

THX GAMES

For the replay of stereo and multichannel game audio the THX Games mode should be selected. In this mode, THX ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0-encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio surround information, providing a full 360-degree playback environment. THX Games mode is unique as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all points of the surround field.

MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II x MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx MUSIC, Pro Logic II x 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 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sources provides 5 main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and a Low Frequency Effect channel. Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

Dolby Pro Logic II x has 5 modes:

Pro Logic II x MOVIE

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

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

This mode surround effects by routing them to the system’s subwoofer.

5.1ch + Pro Logic II x Movie

This mode provides 7.1 channel surround sound from 5.1 channel sources

5.1ch + Pro Logic II x Music

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from 5.1 channel sources music soundtracks.

Notes:

restores the impact low-frequency

movie soundtracks

• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II

mode when the SURR. B is set to “NONE” from SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See page 37)

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

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

ENGLISH

EX/ES

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

Dolby Digital EX

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. The SR9600 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 audio reproduction. DTS-ES is not available in systems that do not have surround back speakers.

dts

dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode is for DTS-encoded source materials such as laserdisc, 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 a Low Frequency Effects 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 6 channel 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:

•

The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

• PCM audio signals can be subjected to Neo:6 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 the left front and left surround speakers and the right channel signal to both the right front and right surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

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 an 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 CSIIMono mode.

Notes:

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

• PCM audio signals can be subjected to CS II 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 channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

CAUTION

Note for DTS

•

To connected DVD player, laserdisc 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 SR9600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the SR9600 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 a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a multiroom.

•

The outputs for VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT, TAPE OUT and CD-R OUT output analog audio signals only. 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 or Dolby Digital Surround EX

•

When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EXencoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

Note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio

•

The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/Audio discs).

•

Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

•

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

Note for HDCD

•

HDCD is effective only through digital input.

•

You may not be able to play some HDCD source signals from certain CD players if you connect the player to the SR9600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response) and the SR9600 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.

The relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on the SR9600 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal. That relationship is as follows:

ATTENUATION TO ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL

If the selected analog audio input signal is greater than the capable level of internal processing, the “PEAK” indicator will light up on the front display.

If this happens, you should tap the ATT on the remote control unit.

DOLBY HEADPHONE MODE

This feature simulates the waveforms of the actual sounds heard from the speakers. When headphones are used, the MENU button automatically switches to the Dolby headphone mode. The OSD menu system that appears when the

MENU button is pressed is shown below.

ENGLISH

The “ATT” indicator is illuminated when this function is activated. The signal input level is reduced by about half.

Turn on the power, for example, to the DVD player.

The DVD Function is automatically selected.

Notes:

• If a separate video signal (e.g., DSS, etc.) is input after another component has been automatically selected, the receiver switches to the DSS mode. Then, when that DSS signal ceases, the receiver searches for a component that is inputting a video signal and switches to it.

• This feature works with the VIDEO, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks.

• Some progressive video signals cannot be detected when input to the COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks.

To turn the attenuation feature off, tap the

ATT on the remote control unit again.

Notes:

• Attenuation will not work with the output signal from TAPE OUT, CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT and VCR2/DVD-R OUT.

• This function is memorized for each individual input source.

Select the desired DOLDBY HP (Headphone) mode with the

or cursor buttons.

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 VCR2/ DVD-R OUT jack.

Switch the video input source to VCR1 by tapping the VCR1 on page 1/8 on the remote control unit.

Switch the audio input source to CD by tapping the CD on page 1/8 on the remote control unit.

“CD” is now 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 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.

The SR9600 is equipped for future expansion through support for SACD multichannel or DVDAudio players. When this is selected, the input signals connected to the L (front left), R (front right), C (center), SL (surround left), SR (surround right), 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. I

n addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT SW (subwoofer) jack. The video input source for 7.1 channel input is set on the 7.1 CH INPUT SETUP menu. (See page 33) This permits simultaneous viewing with video sources.

Press the 7.1 CH INPUT button on the front panel or tap the 7.1 input on ( remote control unit to switch to 7.1 channel input.

Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description of the station's programming hidden space in the FM signal. SR9600 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 program types.

Note:

• The RDS feature works only with Tuner 1.

RADIO TEXT

Some RDS stations broadcast RADIOTEXT, which is additional information on the station and program being broadcast. RADIOTEXT information appears as 'running' text in the display. RADIOTEXT is transmitted character-bycharacter 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, tap RDS Disp. in LCD touch screen of 2/2 TUNER 1.

PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY) DISPLAY

The RDS system categorizes program according to their genre into different program type (PTY) groups. To display the program type information of the current station, tap RDS PTY in LCD touch screen of 2/2 TUNER 1.

PTY AUTO SEARCH

SR9600 is equipped to automatically search for stations transmitting any of 29 different program types. To search for a PTY, follow these steps:

MULTIROOM SYSTEM

The Multiroom system is a mode which allows you to listen to the same or a different source in two rooms other than the room in which the SR9600 is located. To use this function, a multiroom remote unit and remote control signal receiver available from your Marantz dealer are necessary. The operations possible with the multiroom mode are explained briefly below. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the multiroom remote control unit and receiver.

To output to multirooms A and B, connect the video from the MULTI OUT A/B jacks to the monitors in multirooms A and B as shown in the connection example on page 27. Connect the audio from the MULTI OUT A/B jacks to the amps in multirooms A and B. Or, you can also connect the MULTI SPK (LEFT/RIGHT) terminals to the speakers in multirooms A and B.

The SR9600 supports some Multiroom system features such as source selector, OSD information, sleep timer, Multiroom Speaker output and remote control. The multiroom feature of the SR9600 allows use in two rooms, A and B, however the Multispeaker mode can be used in only one of the two rooms.
