DESCRIPTION

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.

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 Extended Surround" 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 5.1channel 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, 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 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 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 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.

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

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.

The SR8400 is here to perform in your unrivaled home entertainment setup.

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-fatiguling, immersive, home theater listening experience. TruSurround Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from mono and stereo material.

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. S-video sources can be viewed through the S-video outputs, and composite sources can only be viewed through the composite output. The 2 video output channels can be used to be connected to video tape recorders for making recordings.

FM antenna terminal (75 ohms)

Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxial cable, or a cable network FM source.

AM antenna and ground terminals

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna. Use the terminals marked "AM" and "GND". The supplied AM loop antenna will provide good AM reception in most areas. Position the loop antenna until you hear the best reception.

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 SR8400. The SR8400 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, C#, C#) 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.

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 SRB400 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, sa best as possible.

Note:

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

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through 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 L&R ONLY.

Note:

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

2-2 SPEAKERS DISTANCE

Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker's position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances.

Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room.

This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR8400 and today's sound systems are able to produce.

Note: For speakers that you have selected "None" the Speaker Configuration sub-menu will not appear here. (There are several useful books and special DVD and LD's available to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you. They are trained professionals familiar with even the most sophisticated custom installations. Marantz recommends the WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for further information about this).

(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 Ix brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.

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

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.

Note:

• Neo6 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.

Note:

• 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.
HDCD source material can be played in this mode.

S (SOURCE) - DIRECT

In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency response and the purlist audio reproduction.

96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in this mode.

HDCD source material can be played 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 SR8400 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR8400 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, Source-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 SRB400 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.
  ^ 念 AUTO, Source-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 SR8400 digitally.

This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR8400 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 SR8400 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;
