DESCRIPTION

DIGITAL

SURROUND

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

EXTENDED

SURROUN

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 44.1kHz . 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 / 24 bits on DVD-Video titles.

When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to deliver 24-bit, 96kHz 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.
   "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 IIx technology delivers a natural and immersive 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.

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.

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.

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.

RS-232C

The RS-232C port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the SR5500 by using an external device.

COMPONENTVIDEOINPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the SR5500. The SR5500 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, C_B , C_R ) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device.

By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly life like colors and crisp detail.

When the video convert function is enabled, video and S-video images can be output to the COMPONENT MOINTOR OUT jack.

5 MONITOR OUT

This is a monitor output and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations. When connecting two video monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can be used with both MONITOR OUT connections.

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, a surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer.

For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.

It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.

The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier "Pro Logic" type systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

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 SR5500 is used in surround operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Surround back left and right speakers

Surround back speakers are required when a full 7.1-channel system is installed.

Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Subwoofer

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequency range so you can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher than your ears by about 2 Ft. -3 Ft. (70cm - 1m) . Also place the speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

Note:

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

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

CONNECTING SPEAKER WIRE

SURROUND MODE

The SR5500 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 23 to confirm the available decoding mode.

MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME, Pro Logic)

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

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital.

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

Dolby Pro Logic IIx brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 7.1 channels 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.

dtsmODE

(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.

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.

MULTICH.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. 96kHz 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 SR5500 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR5500 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 96kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from SR5500 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.

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on SR5500 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 no digital signal is being input, the analog input jacks are selected automatically.

In Digital mode, input is fixed to an assigned digital input terminal.

In analog mode, the analog input jacks are selected.

This selecting is temporary, so the result will not be stored in memory.

If you need to change the input mode completely, use INPUT SETUP in OSD menu system. (see page 18)

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the SR5500 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

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

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-EOQ feature when watching a film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance.

The HT-EQ feature is available except in the following modes.

• 7.1 CH INPUT
• PURE-DIRECT
• When VIRTUAL is set for the surround mode

7.1 CH INPUT

The SR5500 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

1. Select a desired Video source to decide the routed video signal to the Monitor Outputs .
2. Press the 7.1 CH INPUT button on the front panel or press 7.1 CH IN on the remote to switch the 7.1 channel input.
3. If it is necessary to adjust the output level of each channel, press the CH.SEL button on the remote.

Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and surround back speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between -10 to +10 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between -15 and +10 dB.

These adjustments result will be stored to 7.1 CH. INPUT memory.

1. Adjust the main volume with the MAIN VOLUME knob or the VOL buttons on the remote.

To cancel the 7.1 CH. INPUT setting, press the 7.1 CH INPUT button on the front panel or press 7.1 CH IN on the remote.

Notes:

• When the 7.1 CH. Input is in use, you may not select a surround mode, as the external decoder determines processing.
• In addition, there is no signal at the record outputs when the 7.1 CH. Input is in use.

AUX2 INPUT

If you don't need to connect 7.1 Ch. input terminals with multi channel decoder,

L(front left) and R (front right) inputs terminals are available as AUX2 input.

In this case, You can connect additional audio source to AUX2 as other audio input terminals.

LIP.SYNC

Depending on the image device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.) connected to the SR5500, a time lag can occur between image signal processing and audio signal processing. Though minor, this time lag can interfere with movie and music enjoyment. The LIP.SYNC feature delays the audio signal with respect to the image signal output from the SR5500 to correct the time lag between the sound and image. It can be operated with the "LIP.SYNC" and and cursor buttons of the remote controller. Set the remote controller to the AMP mode before operating the LIP.SYNC feature. The initial setting is OFF (0 ms).The time lag can be adjusted in 10 ms steps up to 200 ms. Watch the picture on the image device (i.e., TV, monitor, projector, etc.) as you adjust the time lag.

Note:

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

Frequency scan step for AM is selectable. Default setup is 10kHz step, if your country's standard is 9kHz step, Press TUNER button on the remote more than 6 seconds. Scan step will change.

MULTI ROOM SYSTEM

The Multi Room system is a function which allows you to listen to the same or a different source in a room other than the room in which the SR5500 is located.

To use this function, a multi room remote unit and remote control signal receiver available from your Marantz dealer are necessary.

The operations possible with the multi room function are explained briefly below.

For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the multi room remote control unit and receiver.

When the outputs of the MULTI OUT terminals are wired and connected to amplifiers installed in other rooms or M (MULTI) SPEAKER B terminals are wired and connected to L&R speakers in other room, different sources can be played in rooms other than the main room in which this unit and the playback devices are installed.

SR5500 has some feature to MULTI ROOM SYSTEM as source selector, sleep timer, Multi Room Speaker output and remote control.

MULTI ROOM PLAYBACK USING THE MULTI ROOM OUT TERMINALS

The SR5500 is equipped with audio pre-out terminals for which the volume is adjustable as the MULTI output terminals.

A separately sold stereo power amplifier can be connected to enjoy multi room playback.

The MULTI OUT system can not be operated with the supplied remote controller.

1. Press the MULTI button. The unit enters multi room mode and the display indicates "SELECT SOURCE" and flashes the "MULTI" indicator for approx. 10 seconds.
2. In this time, you can select the input source by turning the input selector knob.

Then, the display indicates "MULTI VOLUME" "MULTI VOL. xx" for approx. 5 seconds.

1. During this time, you can set the volume level in the multi room as desired.

This will only set the volume in the second room.

MULTI ROOM PLAYBACK USING THE MULTI SPEAKER TERMINALS

The SR5500 allows you to connect another set of speakers and place them in a different room or separated area for listening to music.

The MULTI ROOM SPEAKER system can not be operated with the supplied remote controller.

1. Press the M. SPEAKER B button. The unit enters multi room speaker mode and the display indicates "SELECT SOURCE" and flashes the "MULTI" indicators for approx. 10 seconds.
2. In this time, you can select the input source by turning the input selector knob.
3. Then, the display indicates "MSPKR VOLUME" "MSPKR VOL.-18" for approx. 5 seconds.

During this time, you can set the volume level in the multi room as desired.

This will only set the volume in the multi room.

GENERAL MALFUNCTION

If the equipment malfunctions, this may be because an electrostatic discharge or AC line interference has corrupted the information in the equipment memory circuits. Therefore:

• disconnect the plug from the AC line supply
• after waiting at least three minutes, reconnect the plug to the AC line supply
• re-attempt to operate the equipment

Memory backup

• In case a power outage occurs or the power cord is accidentally unplugged, the SR5500 is equipped with a backup function to prevent memory data such as the preset memory from being erased.

HOW TO RESET THE UNIT

Should the operation or display seem to be abnormal, reset the unit with the following procedure.

The SR5500 is turned on, press and hold the MULTI and 7.1CH INPUT buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds or more.
