MARANTZ SR4600 - DESCRIPTION - 1

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.

MARANTZ SR4600 - DESCRIPTION - 2

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 six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

MARANTZ SR4600 - DESCRIPTION - 3

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.

MARANTZ SR4600 - DESCRIPTION - 4

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1kHz . 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 5.1 channel sound tracks to be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video titles.

When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only in two channels, and with serious limitations on picture. This capability has had little use. DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new player is needed, and only analog outputs are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A converters and analog electronics provided in the player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

  1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master.

  2. Full backward compatibility with all existing decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz signal)

  3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.

  4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full-motion video, for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

DOLBY DIGITAL·EX PROLOGIC IIx

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 IIx technology delivers a natural and immersling 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 IIx is a complete surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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.

MARANTZ SR4600 - About Dolby Pro Logic IIx - 1

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.

MARANTZ SR4600 - About Dolby Pro Logic IIx - 2

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.

FEATURES

The SR4600 Incorporates the latest generation of digital surround sound decoding technology such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES (Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1), DTS Neo:6 (Cinema, Music), Dolby Pro-Logic IIx (Movie, Music and Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music). In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs the SR4600 is tomorrow's technology, today!

The SR4600 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 80 watts of high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the seven channels. It employs a massive EI power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. This design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the most demanding action movie soundtracks and full range (multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to generate very high output voltages, the SR4600 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR4600 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits are incorporated for the FL display, audio and video sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had intended.

The SR4600 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from dealers and consumers. It features a heavy duty speaker binding posts and an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2 component inputs and SACD Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs is taken to a stunning new level.

An easy-to-use universal remote control allows full access to all of the operating functions and can be used for system operation as well.

This unit has Simple Setup function for easy setup. You can setup all speaker settings by just selecting your room size and the number of your speakers with Simple Setup function. You can also setup customized settings just like conventional AV amplifiers.

The TruSurround 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. TruSurround utilizes patented headphone perspective curves to solve this problem and provides a non-fatiguing, immersive, home theater listening experience. TruSurround Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from mono and stereo material.

text_image Diagram of an electronic device rack with numbered components and labeled connectors

1 AUDIO IN/OUT (CD, TAPE, CD-R/MD, TV, DVD, VCR1, DSS/VCR2)

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 7 audio inputs (4 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players, DVD players and etc.... The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

2 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.

3 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.

The input signals of video and S-video are converted each other, and each of the converted video signals can be output.

4 MONITOR OUT

This is a monitor output and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations.

5 REMOTE CONT. IN/OUT terminals

CONNECTIONS

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, 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.

text_image Sunround Back Left Sunround Left Subwoofer Front Call 150° 135° Sunround Right 113° Back Right 150° 22° 30° Front Center 0° Sunround Right 90°

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 left and right speakers

When the SR4600 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 subwoofer to have maximum bass effect. Subwoofer 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, as best as possible.

MARANTZ SR4600 - HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS - 1

text_image 70cm ~1m

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.

There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.

VIDEO jack

The video signal for the VIDEO jacks is the conventional composite video signal.

S-VIDEO jack

The video signal is separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) signals for the S-VIDEO Jack. The S-VIDEO signals enables high-quality color reproduction. If your video component has an S-VIDEO output, we recommend to use it. Connect the S-VIDEO output jack on your video component to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.

Component jack

Make component video connections to a TV or monitor with component inputs to produce higher quality video images. Use a component video cable or 3 video cords to connect the component video out jacks on the SR4600 to the monitor.

Video convert

The input signals of video and S-video are converted each other, and each of the converted video signals can be output.

For example, the video input signal from the VIDEO jack can be output to the monitor jack of S-VIDEO. Moreover, the contrary is also possible. Priority is given to S-VIDEO jack when having input by VIDEO and S-VIDEO jack from the same source.

Notes:

  • Be sure to connect the left and right audio channels properly.
    Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and white connectors are the for L (left) channel.
  • Be sure to connect the inputs and outputs of the video signals properly.
  • If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal to the S-VIDEO or component jack on this unit, it is not necessary to connect the conventional video signal to the VIDEO (composite) jack. If you use both video inputs, this unit gives priority to the S-VIDEO signal.
    • Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input to the VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO jacks or component are output to the corresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO or component jacks, respectively.
  • You may need to setup the digital audio output format of your DVD player, or other digital source components. Refer to the instructions of the each component connected to the digital input jacks.
  • There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Please use an external RF demodulator with a Dolby Digital decoder to connect a video disc player which has a Dolby Digital RF output jack to the digital input jack on this unit.

You can control other Marantz products through this unit 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 this unit. Then the signal is sent to the connected device through this terminal. Therefore you only need to aim the remote at one unit. 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 units, other than the main unit to EXT.(EXTERNAL) for this feature.

Whenever external infrared sensors or similar devices are connected to RC-5 IN of the SR4600, be sure to always disable operation of the infrared sensor on the main unit by using the following procedure.

  1. Hold down the 7.1CH INPUT button and MENU button on the front panel at the same time for five seconds.
  2. The setting "IR=ENABLE" is shown on the FL DISPLAY.
  3. Press the ◀ or ▶ cursor button to change this to "IR=DISABLE".
  4. Press the ENTER button. Once this setting is made, the infrared sensor on the main unit is disabled.

Note:

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

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

SURROUND MODE

The SR4600 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 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 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 26 to confirm the available decoding mode.

MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II x MOVIE, Pro Logic II x MUSIC, Pro Logic II x GAME, Pro Logic) This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DÓLBY 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 Ilx brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 6.1 or 7.1-channel Surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx has 3 modes. Please see below. Pro Logic IIx MOVIE

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

Pro Logic IIx 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 IIx GAME

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

Pro Logic

This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.

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 18)
  • 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 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:

  • 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 II

(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 SR4600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR4600 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.
* 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 SR4600 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

* 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 SR4600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR4600 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on SR4600 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;

If you have already assigned the digital inputs, you can temporarily select the audio input mode for each input source with the A/D button on the remote controller.

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 SETUP MENU system. (see page 17)

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the SR4600 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

MARANTZ SR4600 - RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE - 2

  1. Switch the video output source to VCR1 by simply pressing the Input selector buttons on the remote.
  2. Switch the audio input source to CD by simply pressing the input selector buttons on the remote.
  3. 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.

HT-EQ
MARANTZ SR4600 - Notes: - 1

text_image Front panel of a digital measurement device with labeled buttons and display screen

Press the HT-EQ button on the front panel to turn on the HT-EQ mode.
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 HT-EQ feature when watching a film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance.
The HT-EQ feature can be activated only while in Dolby Pro Logic Mode, or while decoding Dolby Digital or DTS encoded material.

7.1 CH INPUT

The SR4600 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

RDS OPERATION

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 RADIO TEXT in place of the typical display of the station's broadcast frequency.

To change the display, press the RDS button on the remote.
