THX need not be activated for music, movies madeespecially for TV, or shows such as sportsprogramming, talk shows, etc.This is because they were originally mixed for asmall room environment.

THX is a trademark or registered trademark of THXLtd. Surround EX is a jointly developed technologyof THX and Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is atrademark of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Used underauthorization. All rights reserved.

THX Surround EX—Dolby DIgital Surround EX is ajoint development of Dolby Laboratories and THXLtd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have beenencoded wi th Dolby Dig i ta l Surround EXtechnology are able to reproduce an extra channelwhich has been added during the mixing of theprogram. This channel, called Surround Back,places sounds behind the listener in addition to thecurrently available front left, front center, frontright, surround right, surround left and subwooferchannels. This additional channel provides theopportunity for more detailed imaging behind thel istener and br ings more depth, spaciousambience and sound localization than ever before.Movies that were created using the Dolby DigitalSurround EX technology, when released into thehome consumer market may exhibit wording to thateffect on the packaging. A list of movies createdusing this technology can be found on the Dolbyweb site at www.dolby.com. A list of availableDVD software titles encoded with this technologyan be found at www.thx.com.Only receiver and controller products bearing theTHX Surround EX logo, when in the THX SurroundEX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technologyin the home. This product may also engage theTHX Surround EX mode during the playback of 5.1channel material that is not Dolby Digital SurroundEX eocnded. In such case, the informationdelivered to the Surround Back channel will beprogram dependent and may or may not be verypleasing depending on the particular soundtrackand the tastes of the individual listener.

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1channels of discrete digital audio into home theatersystems.DTS br ings you premium qual i ty discretemultichannel digital sound to both movies andmusic.DTS is a multichannel sound system designed tocreate full range digital sound reproduction.The no compromise DTS digital process sets thestandard of quality for cinema sound by deliveringan exact copy of the studio master recordings toneighborhood and home theaters.Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactlyas the moviemaker intended.DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either moviesor music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registeredtrademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

The advantages of discrete multichannel systemsover matrix are well known.But even in homes equipped for discretemultichannel, there remains a need for high-qualitymatrix decoding. This is because of the largelibrary of matrix surround motion pictures availableon disc and on VHS tape; and analog televisionbroadcasts.The typical matrix decoder of today derives acenter channel and a mono surround channel fromtwo-channel matrix stereo material. It is better thana simple matrix in that it includes steering logic toimprove separation, but because of its mono,band-limited surround it can be disappointing tousers accustomed to discrete multichannel.

Neo:6 offers several important improvements asfollow,• 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 sixand five separate channels, respectively,corresponding to the standard home-theaterspeaker layouts.

• Neo:6 technology al lows various soundelements within a channel or channels to besteered separately, and in a way which followsnaturally from the original presentation.

DESCRIPTION

THX® is an exclusive set of standards andtechnologies established by the world-renownedfilm production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THXresulted from George Lucas’ desire to reproducethe movie soundtrack as faithfully as possible bothin the movie theater and in the home theater.THX engineers developed patented technologiesto accurately translate the sound from a movietheater environment into the home, correcting thetonal and spatial errors that occur.When the THX mode of the SR7500 is on, threedistinct THX technologies are automaticallyadded:Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balancefor watching a movie in a home environment.These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighterfor a large movie theater. Re-EQ compensates forthis and prevents the soundtracks from beingoverly bright and harsh when played in a hometheater.Timbre Matching-filters the information going tothe surround speakers so they more closely matchthe tonal characteristics of the sound coming fromthe front speakers.This ensures seamless panning between the frontand surround speakers.Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes onesurround channel’s time and phase relationshipwith respect to the other surround channel.This expands the listening position and createswith only two surround speakers the samespacious surround experience as in a movietheater with multiple surround speakers.The Marantz SR7500 was required to pass arigorous series of quality and performance tests, inaddit ion to incorporating the technologiesexplained above, in order to be THX certified byLucasfilm Ltd.THX requirements cover every aspect ofperformance including pre-amplifier and powerampli f ier performance and operat ion, andhundreds of other parameters in both the digitaland analog domain.Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital,DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, stereo and Mono will allbenefit from the THX mode when being viewed.The THX mode should only be activated whenwatching movies which were originally producedfor a movie theater environment.

• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereononmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminishthe subtlety and integrity of the original stereorecording.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichanneldigital signal format developed by Digital TheaterSystems Inc. While offering high compatibility withthe conventional DTS Digital Surround format,DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the360-degree surround impression and spaceexpression thanks to further expanded surroundsignals. This format has been used professionallyin movie theaters since 1999.In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR,C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surroundalso offers the SB (Surround Back) channel forsurround playback with a total of 6.1 channels.DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signalformats with different surround signal recordingmethods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ESMatrix 6.1.

“DTS”, “DTS-ES and “Neo:6” are trademarks ofDigital Theater Systems, Inc.

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24-bit for some time, and there is increasing interest inhigher sampling rates both for recording and fordelivery into the home. Greater bit depths provideextended dynamic range. Higher sampling ratesallow wider frequency response and the use ofanti-alias and reconstruction filters with morefavorable aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks tobe encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video titles.When DVD-video appeared, it became possible todeliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but onlyin two channels, and with serious limitations onpicture. This capability has had little use.DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a newplayer is needed, and only analog outputs areprovided, necessitating the use of the D/Aconverters and analog electronics provided in theplayer.

ISHDTS 96/24 offers the following:

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

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

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

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

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digitalaudio coding for such consumer formats as DVDand DTV. As with film sound, Dolby Digital canprovide up to five full-range channels for left,center, and right screen channels, independent leftand right surround channels, and a sixth (“.1”)channel for low-frequency effects.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrixdecoding technology that provides better spatialityand directionality on Dolby Surround programmaterial; provides a convincing three-dimensionalsoundf ie ld on convent ional s tereo musicrecordings; and is ideally suited to bring thesurround experience to automotive sound. Whileconventional surround programming is fullycompatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic IIdecoders, soundtracks will be able to be encodedspecifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic IIplayback, including separate left and rightsurround channels. (Such material is alsocompatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth outputchannels from 5.1-channel sources. This is doneusing a matrix decoder that derives three surroundchannels from the two in the original recording.For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be usedwith movies soundtracks recorded with DolbyDigital Surround EX.

About Dolby Pro Logic IIxDolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a naturaland immersing 7.1-channel listening experience tothe home theater environment. A product ofDolby's expertise in surround sound and matrixdecoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is acomplete surround sound solution that maximizesthe entertainment experience from stereo as wellas 5.1-channel encoded sources.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with DolbySurround Pro Logic technology and can optimallydecode the thousands of commercially availableDolby Surround encoded video cassettes andtelevision programs with enhanced depth andspatiality. It can also process any high-qualitystereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel musiccontent into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channellistening experience.

The Dolby Headphone technology provides asurround sound listening experience over headphones.When listening to multichannel content such asDVD movies over headphones, the listeningexperience is fundamentally different thanlistening to speakers. Since the headphonespeaker drivers are covering the pinna of the ear,the listening experience differs greatly fromtraditional speaker playback. Dolby util izespatented headphone perspective curves to solvethis problem and provides a non-fatiguing,immersive, home theater listening experience.Dolby Headphone also delivers exceptional 3Daudio from stereo material.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful andversati le mult ichannel technology. CS- II isdesigned to enable up to 6.1 multichannel surroundsound playback from mono, stereo, CS encodedsources and other matrix encoded sources. In allcases the decoder extends it into 6 channels ofsurround audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. TheCS-II decoder creates a listening environment thatplaces the listener “inside” music performancesand dramatical ly improves both hi-f i audioconventional surround-encoded video material.CS-II provides composite stereo rear channels togreatly improve separation and image positioning–adding a heightened sense of realism to both audioand A/V productions.CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialogclarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-likebass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can enable thedialog to become clearer and more discernable inmovies and it enables the bass frequenciescontained in the original programming to moreclosely achieve low frequencies–overcoming thelow frequency limitations of the speakers by fulloctave.

ISHy RS-232C

The RS-232C port is to be used in conjunction withan external controller to control the operation ofthe SR7500 by using an external device.The RS-232C port may also be used in the futureto update the operating software of the SR7500 sothat it will be able to support new digital audioformats and the like as they are introduced.

u Preamp Outputs(L, R, SL, SR, SBL, SBR, C)

Jacks for L(front left), R (front right), C (Center), SL(surround left), SR (surround right), SBL (surroundback left) and SBR (surround back right).Use these jacks for connection to external poweramplifiers.

i AC INLETPlug the supplied power cord into this AC INLETand then into the power outlet on the wall.SR7500 can be powered by 120V AC only.

o AC OUTLETSConnect the AC power cables of components such asa DVD and CD player to these outlets. SWITCHEDand UNSWITCHED outlets are provided.The one marked SWITCHED provides power onlywhen the SR7500 is turned on and is useful forcomponents which you use every time you playyour system.The one marked UNSWITCHED is always live aslong as the SR7500 is plugged into a live outlet.A component connected here may be left onpermanently, or may be switched off with via itsown power switch.

Caution:• In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps, anything

plugged into these outlets should be powered upbefore the SR7500 is turned on.

• The capacity of this AC outlet is 120W. Do notconnect devices that consume electricity more thanthe capacity of these AC outlets. If the total powerconsumption of the connected devices exceeds thecapacity, the protection circuit shuts down thepower supply.

!0 Speaker outputs terminalsSeven terminals are provided for the front (A) left,front (A) right, front (B) left, front (B) right, frontcenter, surround left and surround right speakers.

!1 Speaker outputs terminals (SURROUNDBACK / MULTI SPEAKER / SPEAKER C)

Two terminals are provided for the front left, andright speakers for multi room (2nd zone) orsurround back.The terminals can be used to connect a third set ofspeakers by setting the SPEAKER C selectorswitch to ON. For connection and use, see page17.

!2 Subwoofer OutputConnect this jack to the line level input of a poweredsubwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier isused, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifierinput. If you are using two subwoofers, eitherpowered or with a 2 channel subwoofer amplifier,connect a “Y” connector to the subwoofer outputjack and run one cable from it to each subwooferamplifier.

!3 7.1 CHANNEL or AUX2 INPUTBy connecting a DVD Audio player, SACDmultichannel player, or other components that hasa multichannel port, you can playback the audiowith 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel outputs.

!4 DC TRIGGER output terminalConnect a device that needs to be triggered by DCunder certain conditions (screen, power strip,etc…)Use the system OSD setup menu to determine theconditions by which these jack will be active.

Note:• This output voltage is for (status) control only, It

is not sufficient for drive capability.

!5 Multiroom Outputs (Audio L&R, Video)These are the audio and video output jacks for theMulti zone (Multi room).Connect these jacks to optional audio poweramplifiers or video display devices to listen andview the source selected by the multiroom systemin a remote room.

device, available from your Marantz dealer.OUT: Connect to the Marantz component

equipped with remote control (RC-5)terminals in Multi zone (Multi room).

REAR PANEL

e COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUTIf your DVD player or other device has componentvideo connectors, be sure to connect them to thesecomponent video connectors on the SR7500. TheSR7500 has 4 component video input connectorsto obtain the color information (Y, CB, CR) directlyfrom the recorded DVD signal or other videocomponent and one component video outputconnector to output it directly into the matrixdecoder of the display device.By sending the pure DVD component video signaldirectly, the DVD signal forgoes the extraprocessing that normally would degrade theimage. The result is vastly increased imagequality, with incredibly life like colors and crispdetail.

r FLASHER IN (Flasher input terminal)These terminals are to control the unit from eachzone. Connect the control signal from a Keypad,etc.

t MONITOR OUTThese are monitor outputs and each one includesboth composite video and S-video configurations.When connecting two video monitors or televisions,be aware that the OSD interface can be used withboth MONITOR OUT connections.

q VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, VCR1, DSS/VCR2)These are the video inputs and outputs. There are4 video inputs and 2 video outputs and each oneincludes both composite video and S-videoconfigurations. Connect VCRs, DVD players, andother video components to the video inputs.The 2 video output channels can be used to beconnected to video tape recorders for makingrecordings.

w FM antenna terminal (75 ohms)Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxialcable, or a cable network FM source.

AM antenna and ground terminalsConnect the supplied AM loop antenna. Use theterminals marked “AM” and “GND”. The suppliedAM loop antenna will provide good AM reception inmost areas. Position the loop antenna until youhear the best reception.

CONNECTIONSSPEAKER PLACEMENTThe ideal surround speaker system for this unit is7-speaker systems, using front left and rightspeakers, a center speaker, surround left and rightspeakers, a surround back left and right speakers,and a subwoofer.For best results we recommend that all frontspeakers be of the same type, with identical orsimilar driver units. This will deliver smooth pansacross the front sound stage as the action movesfrom side to side.Your center channel speaker is very important asover 80 % of the dialog from a typical motionpicture emanates from the center channel.It should possess similar sonic characteristics tothe main speakers. Surround channel speakersneed not be identical to the front channel speakers,but they should be of high quality.The surround center speaker is useful for playbackof Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One ofthe benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is thatsurround channels are discrete full range, whilethey 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 usedas it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. Ifyou have full range front speakers, however, theymay be used in place of a subwoofer with propersetting of the switches in the menu system.

Front left and right speakersWe recommend to set the front L and R speakerswith 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speakerAlign the front line of the center speaker with thefront L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker alittle backward from the line.

Surround left and right speakersWhen the SR7500 is used in surround operation,the preferred location for surround speakers is onthe side walls of the room, at or slightly behind thelistening position.The center of the speaker should face into theroom.

Surround back left and right speakersSurround back speakers are required when a full7.1-channel system is installed.Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behindthe listening position.The center of the speaker should face into theroom.

SubwooferWe recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximumbass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequencyrange so you can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speakerAlign the tweeters and mid-range drivers on thethree front speakers at the same height, as best aspossible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surroundback speakerPlace the surround left, right and surround backspeakers higher than your ears by about 70cm–1m. Also place the speakers at the same height, sabest as possible.

Note:• Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,

right and the center speakers when the speakersare installed near the TV and the TV is a monitortype.

ISHSURROUND MODE

The SR7500 is equipped with many surroundmodes. These are provided to reproduce a varietyof surround sound effects, according to the contentof the source to be played.The available surround modes may be restricteddepending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTOWhen this mode is selected, the receiverdetermines whether the digital input signal is DolbyDigital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES,DTS 96/24 or PCM-audio.Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannelsource 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, thenumber of channels for which the correspondingsignal is encoded will be played.Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal withDolby surround status automatically subjects thatsignal to Pro Logic IIx movie processing beforeplay.PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in thismode.

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 ischanged to AUTO mode automatically. Refer topage 24 to confirm the available decoding mode.

THXTHX mode applies additional processing to DolbyDigital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel,surround sources. The THX processing wasdeveloped by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated thesound of top-quality theater.Use the THX mode for all movies on disc, tape orbroadcast. In this mode, THX Surround EX will notoperate in this mode.

THX SURROUND EXIn a movie theater, film soundtracks that have beenencoded wi th Dolby Dig i ta l surround EXtechnology are able to reproduce an extra channelwhich has been added during the mixing of theprogram.This channel, called Surround Back, placessounds behind the listener in addition to thecurrently available front left, front center, frontright, surround right, surround left and subwooferchannels.

This additional channel provides the opportunityfor more detailed imaging behind the listener andbrings more depth, spacious ambience and soundlocalization than ever before.THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channelsource whenever THX is active.THX Surround EX is not available in the systemwithout surround back speaker(s).

Note:• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-

encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required toset the THX Surround EX mode.

2 MODE

Notes:• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals

which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCMformat.

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

VIRTUALThis mode creates a virtualized surround soundexperience from a two-speaker (front L and R)playback system playing any multichannel audiosource (such as found on DVDs and digitalbroadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby ProLogic or DTS.

STEREOThis mode bypasses all surround processing.In stereo program sources, the left and rightchannels play normally when PCM-audio oranalog stereo is input.With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1multichannels are converted to two channelstereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be playedback in stereo mode.

PURE DIRECTIn the pure direct mode, the tone control circuit andbass management configuration are bypassed forfull range frequency response and the purist audioreproduction.96 kHz PCM source material can be played back inthis 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 alsodefeated.

• When you use this mode with certain DVD andCD 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. Youmay not be able to play some DTS sourcesignals from certain CD players and LD playerseven if you connect the player to the SR7500digitally. This is because the digital signal hasbeen processed (such as the output level,sampling frequency, or frequency response)and the SR7500 cannot recognize the signal asDTS data.

* Depending on the player used, DTS play mayproduce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD areplaying in another Surround mode, you cannotswitch to digital input or from digital input toanalog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAINMENU or the A/D button.

* You can not listen to DTS-encorded course inMulti room.

* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analogaudio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDsthat support DTS using these outputs. If you do,the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded asnoise.

NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-

encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is requiredto set the EX/ES mode.

* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not contain theidentification signal. In this case, set the EX/ESmode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio* AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modes

can be used when playing PCM signals with asampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as fromDVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHzaudio). If such signals are input during playbackin one of the other surround modes, output fromSR7500 will be muted.

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

* Some DVD formatted discs feature copyprotection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCMsignal is not output from the DVD player. Fordetails, refer to the player’s operation manual.

NOTE for HDCD signal (SR8500 only)* HDCD is effective only at the time of digital

input.

* AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modescan be used when playing HDCD signals (suchas from CD discs that contain HDCD).

* You may not be able to play some HDCD sourcesignals from certain CD players if you connectthe player to the SR8500 digitally. This isbecause the digital signal has been processed(such as the output level, sampling frequency, orfrequency response) and the SR8500 cannotrecognize the signal as HDCD data.

Notes:• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II

mode when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKERis set NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu. (SeeSPEAKER SETUP, page 19)

• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2ch inputsignal which is encoded in Dolby Digital or PCMformat.


EX/ESThis mode provides 6.1 channel surround forDOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded sourcematerial such as DVD.This mode cannot be used when an analog inputhas been selected.

Dolby Digital EXIn a movie theater, film soundtracks that have beenencoded wi th Dolby Dig i ta l surround EXtechnology are able to reproduce an extra channelwhich has been added during the mixing of theprogram.This channel, called Surround Back, placessounds behind the listener in addition to thecurrently available front left, front center, frontright, surround right, surround left and subwooferchannels.This additional channel provides the opportunityfor more detailed imaging behind the listener andbrings more depth, spacious ambience and soundlocalization than ever before.Dolby Digital EX is not available in the systemwithout surround back speaker(s).

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)DTS-ES adds the surround center channel audio tothe DTS 5.1-channel format to improve theacoustic positioning and makes acoustic imagemovement more natural with the 6.1-channelreproduction.This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder,which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded andDTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources fromDVD, etc..DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discreterecording of all channels including the surroundback channel(s) and higher quality of audioreproduction.DTS-ES is not available in the system without asurround back speaker.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)This mode is for DTS encoded source materialssuch as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is forsome 2 channel sources.

dts : This mode is enabled when playing sourcematerials encoded in dts multichannel.Playing multichannel encoded 5.1-channel dtssources provides five main audio channels (left,center, right, surround left and surround right) andLow Frequency Effect channel.dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.The DTS mode cannot be used when an analoginput has been selected.

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 MusicThis mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrixtechnology.The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discreteproperties in the frequency characteristics of thechannels as well as in channel separation.According to the signals to be played back, DTSNEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA modeoptimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSICmode optimized for music playback.

Notes:• Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signals which

are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.


MULTI CH. STThis mode is used to create a wider, deeper and morenatural soundstage from two channel source material.This is done by feeding the left channel signal toboth left front and left surround speaker and theright channel signal to both right front and rightsurround speaker. Additionally, the center channelreproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

CIRCLE SURROUND II(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannelsurround sound playback of non-encoded andmultichannel encoded material.Backward compatibility provides listeners with upto 6.1 channels of surround performance fromentire collection of music and film, includingbroadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.Depending on source material, you can selectCSII-Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono mode.

ISHErasing All

This procedure clears (resets) all programmedcodes and names. Once all the data is cleared, thememory is returned to the factory default status.The programmed macros are also erased.


2. Press the D5 (ERASE) direct button .The USE and LEARN indicators blink.

3. Press the CLEAR button while holding downthe POWER ON and OFF buttons at the sametime.

4. Press the D4 (YES) direct button to erase.All programmed codes and names are erased andreset to the factory default settings.


• To erase all operation takes a few secondsafter the D4 (YES) button is pressed.

PROGRAMMING MACROSThis remote control can program a series of buttonoperations in sequence.Macros are a function that makes it possible to usea single button operation to perform a complexseries of button operations any number of times. Asingle button can be programmed to perform up to20 steps in sequence. A total of 20 buttons can beprogrammed with macros.

• For example, the fol lowing sequence ofoperations can be programmed to a macro.

Switch amplifier to DVD source → Set amplifiermode to AUTO → Play DVD player → Switch TVto video input

The factory default for the transmission interval(time) between macro operations is one second,but these signal transmission intervals can be setbetween approximately 0.5 seconds and 5seconds in the Setup mode. Each transmissioninterval can be adjusted independently whenprogramming or revising a macro.

Note:• If the signal transmission interval (interval time)

is changed using the Setup mode (described later),this transmission interval is applied to all macroprograms. To change ind iv idua l s igna ltransmission intervals, use the procedures in thissection for programming macros and revisingmacros.

• No signals are transmitted while programming amacro.

• The M button, > button, cursor buttons, MEMObutton, CLEAR button, and VOL buttons cannotbe programmed.

• If no button is pressed for approximately oneminute during programming, the remote controlreturns to the state before macro mode.

In this case, the macro program is not stored.

• When executing macro mode, performing thesource switching operation two or more timesonly changes the remote control mode and doesnot transmit any signals. (Switching of thesource selector of the amplifier is valid onlyonce.)

PROGRAMMING MACROSThis example shows how to program a macro tothe M-01 button.(The screens shown in the example are the defaultfactory states.
