Marantz SR3001 - Manual (Page 28)

25
ENGLISH
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback
system playing any multichannel audio source (such as
found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby
Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In 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
multichannels are converted to two channel stereo.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in
stereo mode.
PURE - DIRECT
In the Pure Direct mode, the tone control circuit and
bass management confi guration are bypassed for
full range frequency response and the purist audio
reproduction.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played 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 SR3001 digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency,
or frequency response) and the SR3001 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.
* Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
* 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
the 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
identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, Pure- 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 SR3001 will be
muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
* Some DVD formatted discs feature 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.
NOTE for HDCD signal
* HDCD is effective only at the time of digital input.
* AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modes can
be used when playing HDCD signals (such as
from CD discs that contain HDCD).
* You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect the
player to the SR3001 digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the
output level, sampling frequency, or frequency
response) and the SR3001 cannot recognize the
signal as HDCD data.
