Marantz SR6001 Multi CH. MOVIE, Music, Circle Surround CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO, Stereo

ENGLISH

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:

•The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

MULTI CH. (MOVIE, MUSIC)

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 the left front and left surround speakers and the right channel signal to both the right front and right surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

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

6.1channels of surround performance from an entire collection of music and fi lm, 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:

•The CS II mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

Dolby Virtual Speaker

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual surround sound field using only two speakers for the front channels, allowing the user to experience sound as if surround speakers were actually being used.

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 channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

CAUTION

Notes for DTS

•To connected DVD player, laserdisc 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 SR6001 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the SR6001 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 a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

•You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a multiroom.

•The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT and CD-R OUT output analog audio signals only. 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.

Notes or Dolby Digital Surround EX

•When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

•Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

Notes for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio

•The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/ Audio discs).

•Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

•Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

Notes for HDCD

•HDCD is effective only through digital input.

•You may not be able to play some HDCD source signals from certain CD players if you connect the player to the SR6001 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response) and the SR6001 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
