Marantz Discover the Advanced Features of the SR7400 Stereo Receiver

Page 6

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-IIdecoder creates a listening environment that places the listener “inside” music performances and dramatically improves both hi - fi audio conventional surround-encoded video material. CS-IIprovides 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-IIis packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-IIcan 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.

FEATURES

The SR7400 incorporates the latest generation of digital surround sound decoding technology such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES (Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1), DTS Neo:6 (Cinema, Music), Dolby Pro-Logic II (Movie and Music), Dolby Pro-Logic IIx (Movie, Music and Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music) .

In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs and a RS-232C communication port, the SR7400 is tomorrow's technology, today!

The SR7400 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 105 watts of high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the 7 channels. It employs a massive EI power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. Current feedback topology allows total operation stability, while requiring minimal amounts of negative feed-back, resulting in an excellent transient frequency response and superb sonic transparency. This design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the most demanding action movie soundtracks and full range (multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to generate very high output voltages, the SR7400 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR7400 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits are incorporated for the FL display, audio and video sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had intended.

The SR7400 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from custom installation experts, dealers and consumers. It features multi-room/ multisource, assignable DC trigger, a RS-232C communication port, Flasher input, heavy duty speaker binding posts and an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 6 assignable digital inputs (7 total), 2 assingnable component inputs, SACD Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs video convert system and a speaker-B and OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR7400 can output the OSD information through the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.

An easy-to-use programmable, learning remote control allows full access to all of the operating functions and can be used for system operation as well.

The new generation of Marantz Receivers is stylish and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of the SR7400, buttons are kept to a minimum. Source selectors and volume controls are intuitively placed. The large left dial knob on the left can be used as multi dial which allows all functions of the SR7400 to be operated via the front panel. The SR7400 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 - fatiguing, immersive, home theater listening experience. TruSurround Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from mono and stereo material.
