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

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have beenencoded wi th Dolby Digi tal 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 the

l istener and brings 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 information

delivered 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.

SURROUND EX is a trademark of DolbyLaboratories. Used under authorization.

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1channels of discrete digital audio into home theatersystems.DTS brings 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 DVDs, LDs, and CDs.

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

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems

over 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 as

follow, Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels ofmatrix 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

TH X 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 both

in 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 to

the 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 channels 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, inaddi t ion to incorporat ing the technologiesexplained above, in order to be THX certified byLucasfilm Ltd.THX requirements cover every aspect ofperformance including pre-amplifier and powerampl i 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 with

the 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 of

Digital 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 to

be 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.

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 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-dimensionalsoundfield on conventional stereo 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 output

channels 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 LogicIIxDolby 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 available

Dolby 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 l istening

experience is fundamentally different thanlistening to speakers. Since the headphonespeaker drivers are covering the pinna of the ear,the l istening experience differs greatly fromtraditional speaker playback. Dolby uti l 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 positioningadding 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 frequenciesovercoming thelow frequency limitations of the speakers by fulloctave.

y RS-232CThe 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, anythingplugged 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 power

consumption 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)

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 signaldi rect ly, 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.

CONNECTIONSSPEAKER PLACEMENT

The 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 pans

across 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 Logictype 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. Ifyou have full range front speakers, however, theymay be used in place of a subwoofer with propersetting of the switches in the m enu 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 the

room.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 70cm1m. 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.

There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.

VIDEO jackThe video signal for the VIDEO jacks is theconventional composite video signal.

S-VIDEO jackThe video signal is separated into luminance (Y)and color (C) signals for the S-VIDEO jack. The S-VIDEO signals enables high-qual i ty colorreproduction. If your video component has an S-VIDEO output, we recommend to use it. Connectthe S-VIDEO output jack on your video component

to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.Component jackMake component video connections to a TV ormonitor with component inputs to produce higherquality video images. Use a component video cableor 3 video cords to connect the component videoout jacks on the SR7500 to the monitor.

DVI-D jack (SR8500 only)This unit has two DVI-D inputs and one DVI-D output.It can send digital signals from DVDs and othersources directly to a display. It minimizes signaldegradation caused by analog conversion so thathigh quality images can be enjoyed. Select an inputsource from the SETUP MAIN MENU. (See page 19.)

Notes:

Be sure to connect the left and right audio channelsproperly.

Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, andwhite connectors are the for L (left) channel.

Be sure to connect the inputs and outputs of thevideo signals properly.

If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal tothe S-VIDEO or component jack on this unit, it is notnecessary to connect the conventional video signal tothe VIDEO (composite) jack. If you use both videoinputs, this unit gives priority to the S-VIDEO signal.

Each type of video jack works independently.Signals input to the VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO jacks or component are output to thecorresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO

or component jacks, respectively. This unit has the TV-AUTO ON/OFF function to

turn the TV ON or OFF automatically, by sensingthe incoming video signal from the VIDEO jacks.

You may need to setup the digital audio outputformat of your DVD player, or other digital sourcecomponents. Refer to the instructions of the eachcomponent connected to the digital input jacks.

There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Pleaseuse an external RF demodulator with a DolbyDigital decoder to connect a video disc playerwhich has a Dolby Digital RF output jack to thedigital input jack on this unit.
