DESCRIPTION

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channelsof discrete digital audio into home theater systems.DTS brings you premium quality discrete multichanneldigital sound to both movies and music.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 discrete multichannel,there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding.This is because of the large library of matrix surroundmotion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape;and analog television broadcasts.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 allows various sound elementswithin a channel or channels to be steeredseparately, and in a way which follows naturallyfrom the original presentation.

• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereononmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channellayout, in a way which does not diminish the subtletyand integrity of the original stereo recording.

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/A convertersand 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 existingdecoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHzsignal)

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.

“DTS” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of DigitalTheater Systems, Inc.

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-dimensionalsoundfield on conventional stereo music recordings;and is ideally suited to bring the surround experienceto automotive sound. While conventional surroundprogramming is fully compatible with Dolby SurroundPro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to beencoded specifically to take full advantage of ProLogic II playback, including separate left and rightsurround channels. (Such mater ia l is a lsocompatible 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 drives 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.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatilemultichannel technology. CS-II is designed toenable up to 6.1 multichannel surround soundplayback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sourcesand other matrix encoded sources. In all cases thedecoder extends it into 6 channels of surroundaudio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The CS-IIdecoder 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.

FEATURESThe SR4500 incorporates the latest generation ofdigital surround sound decoding technology suchas 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 andGame), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music).In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. Byutilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs the SR4500is tomorrow's technology, today!

The SR4500 features a fully discrete 7 channelamplifier section capable of delivering 80 watts ofhigh-current amplification, for continuously clean andstable power into each of the seven channels. Itemploys a massive EI power transformer incombination with oversized filter capacitors. Thisdesign configuration is capable of a clear andpowerful reproduction of the most demanding actionmovie soundtracks and full range (multichannel)music discs. Through its ability to generate very highoutput voltages, the SR4500 can easily drive themost demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR4500 incorporates the most advancedDigital Signal Processing circuitry, along with aCrystal® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each ofthe 7 channels. Independent power supply circuitsare incorporated for the FL display, audio andvideo sections for maximum separation, clarity anddynamic range. Together with hand-selectedcustomized components, all elements work inharmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as theartist had intended.

The SR4500 is designed and engineered withextensive feedback from dealers and consumers. Itfeatures a heavy duty speaker binding posts andan extensive array of both analog and digital inputs/ outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2component inputs and SACD Multi Channel (7.1channel) direct inputs is taken to a stunning newlevel.

An easy-to-use universal remote control allows fullaccess to all of the operating functions and can beused for system operation as well.

This unit has Simple Setup function for easy setup.You can setup all speaker settings by just selectingyour room size and the number of your speakerswith Simple Setup function. You can also setupcustomized settings just like conventional AVamplifiers.

The TruSurround Headphone technology providesa surround sound listening experience overheadphones.When listening to multichannel content such as DVDmovies over headphones, the listening experience isfundamentally different than listening to speakers.Since the headphone speaker drivers are covering thepinna of the ear, the listening experience differs greatlyfrom traditional speaker playback. TruSurround utilizespatented headphone perspective curves to solve thisproblem and provides a non-fatiguing, immersive,home theater listening experience. TruSurroundHeadphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio frommono and stereo material.

n DIGITAL INPUT (Dig.1 - 4) / OUTPUT(coaxial, optical)

These are the digital audio inputs and outputs.There are 2 digital inputs with coaxial jacks, 2 withoptical jacks.The inputs accept digital audio signals from acompact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital sourcecomponent.For digital output, there is 1 coaxial output and 1optical output.The digital outputs can be connected to MDrecorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or othersimilar components.

m COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUTIf your DVD player or other device has componentvideo connectors, be sure to connect them to thesecomponent video connectors on the SR4500. TheSR4500 has two 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 matrix decoderof the display device.By sending the pure DVD component video signaldirect ly, the DVD signal forgoes the extraprocessing that normally would degrade the image.The result is vastly increased image quality, withincredibly life like colors and crisp detail.

, Power cableConnect to an AC power outlet.SR4500 has to be powered by 120 V AC only.

. 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 SR4500 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 SR4500 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 SR4500 is turned on.

CONNECTIONSSPEAKER 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 asubwoofer.For best results we recommend that all front speakersbe of the same type, with identical or similar driverunits. This will deliver smooth pans across the frontsound stage as the action moves from side to side.Your center channel speaker is very important asover 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion pictureemanates 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 SR4500 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 the room.

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 the room.

SubwooferWe recommend using a subwoofer to have maximumbass effect. Subwoofer 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, as bestas 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.

SURROUND MODEThe SR4500 is equipped with many surround modes.These are provided to reproduce a variety ofsurround sound effects, according to the content ofthe source to be played.The available surround modes may be restricteddepending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTOWhen this mode is selected, the receiver determineswhether 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 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 before play.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 26 to confirm the available decoding mode.

DOLBY DIGITALThis mode is enabled when playing source materialsencoded in Dolby Digital.Playing multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-channelDolby Digital sources provides five main audiochannels (left, center, right, surround left andsurround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel.Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in thismode.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx brings the excitement of surroundsound to any stereo mix, while making existing DolbySurround 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 MOVIEThis mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surroundsound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo moviesound tracks.Pro Logic IIx MUSICThis mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surroundsound from conventional stereo sources, analog ordigital, such as CD, Tape, FM, TV, Stereo VCR, etc.Pro Logic IIx GAMEGame mode restores the impact low-frequencysurround effects by routing them to the system’ssubwoofer.Pro LogicThis mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logicdecoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surroundencoded stereo movie soundtracks.

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

mode when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER isset NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu. (SeeSPEAKER SETUP, page 18)

• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2ch inputsignal which is 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.

EX/ESThis mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBYDIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material suchas DVD.This mode cannot be used when an analog inputhas been selected.

Dolby Digital EXIn a movie theater, film soundtracks that have beenencoded with Dolby Digital surround EX technologyare able to reproduce an extra channel which hasbeen added during the mixing of the program.This channel, called Surround Back, places soundsbehind the listener in addition to the currentlyavailable front left, front center, front right, surroundright, surround left and subwoofer channels.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 system withoutsurround 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 the acousticpositioning and makes acoustic image movementmore natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, whichcan handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ESMatrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc..DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discreterecording of all channels including the surround backchannel(s) and higher quality of audio reproduction.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.

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

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 up to6.1 channels of surround performance from entirecollection 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-Monomode.

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 Logicprocessing when the sampling frequency is 32kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

ISHVIRTUAL

This 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 Pro Logicor DTS.

STEREOThis mode bypasses all surround processing.In stereo program sources, the left and right channelsplay normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo isinput.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 source direct mode, the tone control circuitand bass management configuration are bypassedfor full range frequency response and the puristaudio reproduction.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 and CDplayers, 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 SR4500digitally. This is because the digital signal hasbeen processed (such as the output level,sampling frequency, or frequency response)and the SR4500 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.

* 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/ES mode 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 fromSR4500 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 notoutput from the DVD player. For details, refer to theplayer's operation manual.

7.1 CH INPUTThe SR4500 is equipped for future expansionthrough the use of Multi channel SACD multichannelplayer or DVD-Audio player.When this is selected, the input signals connectedto 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 directlyto the front (left and right), center, surround (leftand right) and surround back speaker systems aswell as the pre-out jacks without passing throughthe 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 inputused remains routed to the Monitor Outputs.This permits simultaneous viewing with videosources

1. Select a desired Video source to decide therouted video signal to the Monitor Outputs .

2. Press the 7.1 CH INPUT button on the frontpanel or press 7.1 CH IN on the remote toswitch the 7.1 channel input.

Recording the video from one source and theaudio from anotherYou can add the sound from one source to thevideo of another source to make your own videorecordings.Below is an example of recording the sound from acompact disc player connected to CD IN and thevideo from a video camera connected to VCR1 tovideo cassette recorder connected to the DSS/VCR2 OUT jack.

1. Switch the video output source to VCR1 bysimply pressing the input selector buttons onthe remote.

2. Switch the audio input source to CD by simplypressing the input selector buttons on theremote.

3. Now “CD” has been selected as the audio inputsource and “VCR1” as the video input source.

Notes:• If you change the input source during recording,

you will record the signals from the newly selectedinput source.

• You cannot record the surround effects.

• Digital input signals are only output to the digitaloutputs. There is no conversion from digital toanalog .

When connecting CD players and other digitalcomponents, do not connect only the digitalterminals, but the analog ones as well.

HT-EQ

Press the HT-EQ button on the front panel to turn onthe HT-EQ mode.The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will beexcessively bright and harsh when played back overaudio equipment in the home. This is because filmsoundtracks were designed to be played back inlarge movie theater environments.Activating the HT-EQ feature when watching a filmmade for movie theaters corrects this and restoresthe correct tonal balance.The HT-EQ feature is available except in thefollowing modes.
