    DESCRIPTION

    THX is an exclusive set of standards andtechnologies established by the world-renowned filmproduction company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX resultedfrom George Lucas desire to reproduce the moviesoundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie

    theater and in the home theater.THX engineers developed patented technologies toaccurately translate the sound from a movie theaterenvironment into the home, correcting the tonal andspatial errors that occur.When the THX mode of the SR7001 is on, threedistinct THX technologies are automatically added: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 being overlybright and harsh when played in a home theater.Timbre Matching-filters the information going to thesurround speakers so they more closely match thetonal characteristics of the sound coming from thefront speakers.This ensures seamless panning between the frontand surround speakers.Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes onesurround channels time and phase relationship withrespect to the other surround channel.This expands the listening position and creates withonly two surround speakers the same spacioussurround experience as in a movie theater withmultiple surround speakers.The Marantz SR7001 was required to pass a rigorousseries of quality and performance tests, in addition toincorporating the technologies explained above, inorder to be THX certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.THX requirements cover every aspect of performance

    including pre-amplifier and power amplifierperformance and operation, and hundreds of otherparameters in both the digital and 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 produced fora movie theater environment.

    INTRODUCTIONThank you for purchasing the Marantz SR7001Surround receiver.This remarkable component has been engineeredto provide you with many years of home theaterenjoyment. Please take a few minutes to read thismanual thoroughly before you connect and operatethe SR7001.As there are a number of connection and configurationoptions, you are encouraged to discuss your own

    particular home theater setup with your Marantz A/Vspecialist dealer.

    This user guide covers the SR7001 andSR8001, though the SR7001 is given for thetitle. Explanations of features belongingonly to the SR8001 are indicated as SR8001only.

    In 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. Thischannel, called Surround Back, places soundsbehind the listener in addition to the currentlyavailable front left, front center, front right, surroundright, surround left and subwoofer channels. Thisadditional channel provides the opportunity for moredetailed imaging behind the listener and brings more

    depth, spacious ambience and sound localizationthan 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 available DVDsoftware titles encoded with this technology an befound 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 5.1

    channel material that is not Dolby Digital SurroundEX eocnded. In such case, the information deliveredto the Surround Back channel will be programdependent and may or may not be very pleasingdepending on the particular soundtrack and thetastes of the individual listener.

    Neo:6 offers several important improvements asfollow, Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of

    matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Userswith 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and fiveseparate channels, respectively, corresponding tothe standard home-theater speaker 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 stereo

    nonmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channellayout, in a way which does not diminish the subtle tyand 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 the 360-degree surround impression and space expressionthanks to further expanded surround signals. Thisformat 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 alsooffers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surroundplayback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ESExtended Surround includes two signal formats withdifferent surround signal recording methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 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 interestin higher 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 of anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more favorableaural characteristics.

    DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to beencoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Videotitles.

    When DVD-video appeared, it became possible todeliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only intwo channels, and with serious limitations on picture.This capability has had little use.DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but anew player 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 be carriedon DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-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 Digital audiocoding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV.As with film sound, Dolby Digital can provide upto five full-range channels for left, center, and rightscreen channels, independent left and right surroundchannels, and a sixth (.1) channel for low-frequencyeffects.

    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 IIdecoders, soundtracks will be able to beencoded specifically to take full advantage of ProLogic II playback, including separate left and rightsurround channels. (Such material is also compatiblewith conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

    Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth outputchannels from 5.1-channel sources. This is doneusing a matrix decoder that derives three surroundchannels from the two in the original recording. Forbest results, Dolby Digital EX should be used withmovies soundtracks recorded with Dolby DigitalSurround EX.

    About Dolby Pro LogicIIxDolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a naturaland immersing 7.1-channel listening experienceto the home theater environment. A product of

    Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrixdecoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is acomplete surround sound solution that maximizesthe entertainment experience from stereo as well as5.1-channel encoded sources.

    Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with DolbySurround Pro Logic technology and can optimallydecode the thousands of commercially availableDolby 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-channel listeningexperience.

    The Dolby Headphone technology provides asurround sound listening experience over headphones.When listening to multichannel content such as DVDmovies over headphones, the listening experienceis fundamentally different than listening to speakers.Since the headphone speaker drivers are coveringthe pinna of the ear, the listening experience differsgreatly from traditional speaker playback. Dolbyutilizes patented headphone perspective curves tosolve this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,

    immersive, home theater listening experience. DolbyHeadphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio fromstereo material.

    THX Select2Before any home theater component can be THXSelect2 certified, it must pass a rigorous series ofquality and performance tests. Only then can aproduct feature the THX Select2 logo, which is yourguarantee that the Home Theater products youpurchase will give you superb performance for manyyears to come. THX Select2 requirements definehundreds of parameters, including power amplifierperformance, and pre-amplifier performance andoperation for both digital and analog domains. THXSelect2 receivers also feature proprietary THX

    technologies(e.g., THX Mode) which accurately translate moviesoundtracks for home theater playback.

    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 exactly asthe moviemaker intended.DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies ormusic 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 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 a centerchannel and a mono surround channel from two-channel matrix stereo material. It is better than asimple matrix in that it includes steering logic toimprove separation, but because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be disappointing to usersaccustomed to discrete multichannel.

    HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital ) is apatented process for delivering on Compact Disc thefull richness and details of the original microphonefeed.HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they areencoded with 20-bits of real musical information ascompared to 16-bits for all other CDs.HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD

    format by using a sophisticated system to encodethe additional four bits onto the CD while remainingcompletely compatible with the CD format.When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear moredynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage, andextremely natural vocal and musical timbre. WithHDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of theoriginal performance not a flat, digital imitation.HDCD system manufactured under license fromMicrosoft.

    There are several factors that can degrade the soundfrom even the best loudspeakers in a listening room.One of the most important is the interaction of soundfrom the loudspeakers with large surfaces such aswalls, the floor, and the ceiling in the room. Evenwith careful loudspeaker placement and acousticaltreatments, there are significant problems that arecaused by room acoustics. These include reflectionsfrom nearby surfaces and standing waves that are

    created between large parallel surfaces in the room.In a home theater the situation is further complicatedbecause there are several listening locations. Theeffects of room acoustics on the sound arriving ateach persons ears are very different and the result isa listening experience that is degraded in a differentway for every person in the room. It is not uncommonto have variations in two adjacent seats that are aslarge as 10 dB, particularly in the frequency rangebelow 250 Hz.The solution to this problem is to apply room correctionafter precisely measuring how each loudspeakerinteracts with the room. Because the room causesvariations in the frequency response of theloudspeakers that are so large from seat to seat, itis important to measure each loudspeaker at several

    locations in the listening room. This should be doneeven if there is only one listener. Measurement at asingle location is not representative of the acousticalproblems in the room and will in most cases, degradeoverall performance. Audyssey MultEQ is the onlytechnology that can achieve room correction formultiple listeners in a large listening area. It does soby combining the data collected at several points inthe room from each loudspeaker and then applyingcorrection that minimizes the acoustical effects ofthe room and is matched to the frequency resolutionof human perception (known as psychoacoustics).Furthermore, MultEQ correction is applied bothin frequency and time domains and so there areno artifacts (such as smearing of sound or modal

    ringing)that are sometimes associated with traditionalmethods of room equalization.In addition to correcting frequency response problemsover a wide listening area, Audyssey MultEQprovides a completely automated sound system set-up process. It identifies how many loudspeakers areconnected to the amplifiers and whether they are full-range, satellites, or subwoofers. If there is a least onesubwoofer connected, Audyssey MultEQ determinesthe optimum crossover frequency between eachsatellite and the subwoofer(s). It automaticallychecks the polarity of each loudspeaker and alertsthe user if there are any that may be wired out-

    of-phase relative to the others. It measures thedistance to each loudspeaker from the main listeningposition and adjusts the delays so that sound fromeach loudspeaker arrives at the same time. Finally,Audyssey MuitEQ determines the playback level ofeach loudspeaker and adjusts the volume trims sothat all levels are equal.

    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 left and right speakers, and asubwoofer.For best results we recommend that all front speakersbe of the same type, with identical or similar driver

    units. 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 to themain speakers. Surround channel speakers need notbe identical to the front channel speakers, but theyshould 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, while theywere frequency limited in earlier Pro Logic typesystems.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 the frontL/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a littlebackward from the line.

    Surround left and right speakersWhen the SR7001 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 full 7.1-channel system is installed.Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind thelistening position.

    The center of the speaker should face into theroom.

    SubwooferWe recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximumbass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequency rangeso 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 speaker

    Place the surround left, right and surround backspeakers higher than your ears by about 70cm1m.Also place the speakers at the same height, as bestas possible.

    70cm1m

    Note:

    Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,right and the center speakers when the speakers areinstalled near the TV and the TV is a monitor type.
