INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Marantz SR4300 Surround receiver.

This remarkable component has been engineered to provide you with

many years of home theater enjoyment. Please take a few minutes to

read this manual thoroughly before you connect and operate the

SR4300.

As there are a number of connection and configuration options, you

are encouraged to discuss your own particular home theater setup

with your Marantz A/V specialist dealer.

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 multi-channel digital sound

to both movies and music.

DTS is a multi-channel 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 multi-channel 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.

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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.

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby

Laboratories.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel

technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel

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.

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 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

(AC-3) 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

Place the speakers right beside of the listening position or a little

forward. Do not place the speakers backward of the listening position.

Surround back speaker

Place the speaker behind of the listening position.

Subwoofer

We recommend to use a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect.

Sub-woofer bears only low frequency range so you can place it

anywhere 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

on the same height as well as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher to

your ears (2 Ft. - 3 Ft.(70cm – 1m)). Also place the speakers on the

same height.

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.

Loosen the knob by turning counterclockwise.

Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in the side of each

terminal.

Tighten the knob by turning clockwise to secure the wire.

Cautions:

•Be sure to use speakers with the specified impedance shown on

the rear panel of this unit.

•To prevent damage to circuitry, do

not let the bare speaker wires touch

each other and do not let them touch

any metal part of this unit.

•Do not touch the speaker terminals

when the power is on. It may cause

electric shocks.

•Do not connect more than one

speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage

this unit.

Note:

•Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the

speaker properly. If they are miss-connected, the signal phase

will reversed and the signal quality will be corrupted.

CONNECTING A SUBWOOFER

Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a powered

subwoofer (power amplifier built in ).

SURROUND MODE

The SR4300 is equipped with many surround modes. These are

provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according

to the content of the source to be played.

The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the

input signal and speaker setup.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the

digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS,

DTS-ES or PCM-audio.

Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi channel source 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, the number of channels

for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.

Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status

automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic II movie processing

before play.

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

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 is input for using mode, the

mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page

30 to confirm the available decoding mode.

2 MODE

(Dolby Digital,Pro Logic II MOVIE, Pro Logic II MUSIC, 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 multi-channel encoded 5.1-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 II 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 II has below 3 modes.

Pro Logic II MOVIE

This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround

encoded stereo movie sound tracks.

Pro Logic II MUSIC

This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from conventional

stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo

VCR, etc.

Pro Logic

This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1 surround)

suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.

Notes:

•Pro Logic II mode is available to 2ch input signal which is

encoded 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.

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround back 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 channels and higher quality of audio

reproduction.

DTS-ES is not available in the system without surround back speaker.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)

This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER

DISC, CD, and DVD and some 2channel signal source.

dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in

dts multi channel.

Playing multi-channel 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 use 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:

•PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source

material can playback in this mode.

MULTI CH. 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.

ENGLISH

CIRCLE SURROUND II (CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)

Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-channel surround sound

playback of non-encoded and multi-channel 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.

Regarding to source material, you can select CSII-Cinema mode,

CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono mode.

Note:

•PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source

material can playback in this mode.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a

two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multi-

channel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital

broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

DSP SURROUND (MOVIE, HALL, STADIUM, MATRIX)

These modes provide surround effect processing from each input

source material.

They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres.

Select as your taste desires.

Note:

•PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source

material can playback in this mode.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing.

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 multi-channels are

converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be

playback in stereo 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 purist audio reproduction.

96 kHz PCM source material can be play back 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 SR4300 digitally. This is because the

digital signal has been processed (such as the output level,

sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR4300

cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

* Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce short noise.

This is not a malfunction. In such cases, select the surround mode

the “DTS” or “DTS-ES”.

* 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 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 96 kHz (such as

from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such

signals are input during playback in one of the other surround

modes, output from SR4300 will be muted.

* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to

the player’s operation manual.

* Some DVD formatted discs featured 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.

ENGLISH

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

OTHER FUNCTION

ATTENUATION TO ANALOG INPUT SIGNAL

When the input signal is too high and the voice distorts even by

throttling the SR4300 VOLUME control, turn on this function. “ATT” is

indicated when this function is activated.

“ATT” indicator will light up when this function is activated. The signal-

input level is reduced by about the half. Attenuation will not work with

the output signal of TAPE-OUT, CD-R/MD-OUT, VCR1-OUT and

DSS/VCR2-OUT.

This function is memorized for each individual input source.

LISTENING OVER HEADPHONES

This jack may be used to listen to the SR4300’s output through a pair

of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 1/4"

stereo phone plug. (Note that the main room speakers will

automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.)

Notes:

•When using headphones, the surround mode will automatically

change to STEREO.

•The surround mode returns to the previous setting as soon as the

plug is removed from the jack.

DIMMER

You can change the display brightness of the front display.

Press the DIMMER button on the front panel to change the brightness.

When this button is pressed, the brightness is changed in the following

sequence.

automatically.

In Digital mode, input is fixed to an assigned digital input terminal.

In analog mode, the analog input jacks are selected.

This selecting is temporarily, so the result will not be stored in memory.

If you need to change input mode completely, use SYSTEM SETUP in

SETUP menu system. (see page 19)

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening

through the SR4300 is sent to the record outputs.

This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be

recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for

TAPE OUT , CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT in the

record mode.

To record the input source signal you are currently watching or

listening to

Select the input source to record by pressing the corresponding

input selector button.

The input source is now selected and you may watch or listen to it

as desired.

HT-EQ

Press the HT-EQ button on the front panel to turn on the HT-EQ mode.

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and

harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is

because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large

movie theater environments.

Activating the HT-EQ feature when watching a film made for movie

theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance.

The HT-EQ feature can be activated only while in Dolby Pro Logic

Mode, or while decoding Dolby Digital or DTS encoded material.

6.1 CH INPUT.

The SR4300 is equipped for future expansion through the use of Multi

channel SACD multi channel player or DVD-Audio player.

This is selected, the input signals connected to the Front left, Front

right, Center, Surround left, Ssurround right and Surround back

channels of the 6.1 CH. In jacks are output directly to the front (left and

right), center, surround (left and right) and surround back speaker

systems as well as the pre-out jacks without passing through the

surround circuitry.

In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the

PRE OUT SW (subwoofer) jack.

When 6.1 CH. INPUT is selected, the last video input used remains

routed to the Monitor Outputs.

This permits simultaneous viewing with video sources.

Select a desired Video source to decide the routed video signal to

the Monitor Outputs .

Press the 6.1 CH-IN button on the front panel or on the remote to

switch the 6.1 channel input.

If necessary to adjust the output level of each channel, use “6.1

Ch. INPUT LEVEL” in SETUP menu system as desired.

Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same

sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the

front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and

surround back speakers, the output levels can be adjusted

between –10 to +10 dB.

The subwoofer can be adjusted between –15 and +10 dB.

These adjusting result will be stored to 6.1 Ch. INPUT condition.

(see to page 24)

Adjust the main volume with the MAIN VOLUME knob or the VOL

buttons on the remote.

To cancel the 6.1 Ch. INPUT setting, press the 6.1 CH-IN button on

the front panel or on the remote.

Notes:

•When the 6.1 Ch. Input is in use, you may not select a surround

mode, as the external decoder determines processing.

•In addition, there is no signal at the record outputs when the 6.1

Ch. Input is in use.
