 SURROUND MODES
ENGLISH

The SR8000 incorporates digital signal processors (DSP) which can reproduce various surround effects you experience in concert halls and movie
theaters, etc. Nine Surround Modes, are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.

Surroud mode FEATURES

1. AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, PCM-audio or DTS.
Note:
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
processing before play.
96 Khz source matirial can be play back in this mode.

2. STEREO This mode bypasses all surround processing.

Stereo program sources the left and right channels play normaly 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 source matirial can
be play back in stereo mode.

3. DOLBY This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic processing can be used on Dolby Surround encoded two channel source material (Dolby Digital two
channels, PCM-audio and Analog stereo). This allows play of the four discrete channels (left, center, right and surround).
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
When a signal in another format is input, output will be muted.

4. DTS This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD.
Cinema In the DTS Music mode, the LFE signal is reduced by 10 dB. With DTS music material, you should select the DTS Music
Music mode.
When playing DTS movie discs select DTS cinema mode for proper reproduction of the LFE channel. The DTS mode cannot
be used when an Analog input has been selected. When the signal in another digital format is input, output will be muted.

5. MOVIE These modes provide surround effect processing from each input source material.
HALL They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres. Select as your taste desires.
MATRIX Note:
PCM-audio signals can be processed in this mode when sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
The 96 kHz sampling frequency mutes output.

6. 5-STEREO 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. Addtionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

7. S-Direct ON In the source direct mode, the tone control circuite and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range
frequeancy responce and the purist audio reproduction.
96 Khz source matirial 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 are also defeated.

output terminal to output noise. Before playing DTS sources, be
sure to connect the player’s digital output to the SR8000’s digital
input. Be careful when connecting the output of these players to
analog audio input.
Note that the SR8000 has the following restrictive functions built in
to reduce noise emission as much as possible.
If DTS is selected while in the Surround mode, digital input cannot
be switched to analog input. When the analog input function has
been selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS.
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.

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

ENGLISH
The surround mode is selected with the surround mode buttons of the SR8000 or the remote control unit. However, the sound from the speakers
depend upon the relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal. They are as follows;

GENERAL MALFUNCTION HOW TO RESET THE UNIT
Should the operation or display seem to be abnormal, reset the unit

ENGLISH
If the equipment malfunctions, this may be because an electrostatic
discharge or AC line interference has corrupted the information in with the following procedure.
The SR8000 is turned on, press and hold the CLEAR !3 and DISPLAY
the equipment memory circuits. Therefore:
OFF buttons !1 simultaneously for 3 seconds or more.
- disconnect the plug from the AC line supply
Remember that the procedure will reset the settings of the function
- after waiting at least three minutes, reconnect the plug to the AC
selector, Surround mode, delay time, TUNER PRESET etc., to their
line supply initial settings.
- re-attempt to operate the equipment

ERROR MESSAGES
When the display indicates some error messages (e.g. ERROR **),
unplug the power cable immediately. Contact your dealer, nearest
Marantz distributor or the Marantz service center in your area.

Memory backup
n In case a power outage occurs or the power cord is
accidentally unplugged, the SR8000 is equipped with a
