Marantz SR5400 - Manual (Page 2)

Power Your Home Theater
The SR5400 is capable of generating 90 watts of discrete power
into all 6 channels. The large power supply incorporates a high
current power transformer, with ample capabilities to drive low
impedance loudspeakers. The SR5400 incorporates an extensive
array of digital and analog audio
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX brings a new dimension of depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization to home theater environment.
The benefits of DD-EX include more realistic flyover and fly-
around effects, a more stable image for atmospheres and music
and a more consistent surround effect throughout the
auditorium or home viewing area.
DTS-ES, 96/24 decoding
The DTS-ES surround system offering a superb sound quality
and a range of formats. The Discrete 6.1 offers the ultimate
quality of surround field creation, while the Matrix 6.1 provides
compatibility for the existing DTS 5.1 software. And the Neo:6
is to create 6.1 surround stage from any two channel source.
DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1 channel sound track encoding at a
rate of 96kHz/24 bits on DVD-Video titles. Higher sampling
rates provide greater bit depth and allow a wider frequency
response. In conjunction with the use of anti-alias and
reconstruction filters DTS 94/24 results in a more transparent
sound quality equivalent to the original soundtrack and is fully
backwards compatible at the same time.
Dolby Pro Logic II music and movie
Dolby Pro Logic is capable of producing a Multi Channel
soundstage using only a two channel source, meaning that
normal TV broadcast can only be decoded using this decoding
technique. Now the standard is being successed by the Dolby
Pro Logic II format, offering the full frequency range accross all
channels and even with a stereo soundfield on the surround
speakers. This experience of two channel decoding adds a more
realistic element to watching TV and is fully compatible with
the Dolby Pro Logic standard.
CS II
Circle Surround II is a powerfull and versatile multi-channel
technology designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel
surround-sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded
sources and other matrix encoded sources. CS-II places the
listener "inside" the music performances and dramatically
improves the separation and image positioning of both hi-fi
audio conventional surround-encoded video material, adding a
heightened sence of realism.
Experience the emotion
Music and sound track reproduction is enhanced through a
highly efficient source direct switch, which bypasses the total
A/V section in audio mode. In direct mode, interference and
disturbance by radiated electrical or magnetic fields are
minimized, ensuring the shortest signal path for the highest
degree of clarity and detail. Highly accurate 192kHz/24-bit
audio D/A converters process the analog to digital conversion,
resulting in a far more faithful sound quality compared to the
original source. It encompasses the Marantz heritage with
refinements such as a metal alloy faceplate, a efficient video off
mode and high grade components.
Convenience & Functionality´s
The SR5400 presents multiple surround modes, like hall,
stadium, virtual, matrix, movie and 6-channel stereo. The
extensive feature list, such as auto preset tuning (program up to
30 stations), manual station naming, display dimmer, delay
function and clock/timer characterize the functionality of the
SR5400. 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 unique Marantz D-BUS
connection allows convenient linkage to other Marantz
components.
With the Marantz audio system placed in the main room of the
house, a second pair of loudspeakers can be placed at a separate
room. In those rooms an audio source can be selected seperately
at a different sound level, even with full remote controlled
functionality. Not only sound but even video signals can be
handled in such a way that in the separate room a video source
with OSD feature can be selected.
