DESCRIPTION
THX
®
is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by
the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX
resulted from George Lucas’ desire to reproduce the movie
soundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie theater and in
the home theater.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately
translate the sound from a movie theater environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur.
When the THX mode of the SR9300 is on, three distinct THX
technologies are automatically added:
Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance for watching a
movie in a home environment.
These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighter for a large movie
theater. Re-EQ compensates for this and prevents the soundtracks
from being overly bright and harsh when played in a home theater.
Timbre Matching-filters the information going to the surround
speakers so they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the
sound coming from the front speakers.
This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes one surround channel’s time
and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel.
This expands the listening position and creates with only two surround
speakers the same spacious surround experience as in a movie
theater with multiple surround speakers.
The Marantz SR9300 was required to pass a rigorous series of quality
and performance tests, in addition to incorporating the technologies
explained above, in order to be THX Ultra certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
THX Ultra requirements cover every aspect of performance including
pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic,
stereo and Mono will all benefit from the THX mode when being viewed.
The THX mode should only be activated when watching movies which
were originally produced for a movie theater environment.
THX need not be activated for music, movies made especially for TV,
or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc.
This is because they were originally mixed for a small room
environment.

developed technology of THX and Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is a

authorization.
The THX Ultra2 specification provides uncompromised 7.1 channel
playback of any multi-channel program, whether movie soundtracks or
music over the widest possible seating area.
There are an additional two processing’s for THX Ultra2 as bellow.
A.S.A. (Advanced Speaker Array)
“ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed
to 2 surround and 2 surround back speakers to provide the optimal
surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater
system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround
Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and
Subwoofer), placing the two Surround Back speakers close together
facing the front of the room as shown in the diagram will provide the
largest sweet spot. If for practical reasons you have to place the
Surround Back speakers apart, you will need to go to the THX Audio
Set-up screen and choose the setting that most closely corresponds
to the speaker distance, which will re-optimize the surround sound-
field. ASA is used in two new surround modes; THX Ultra2 Cinema
and THX Music Mode.
B.G.C. (Boundary Gain Compensation)
“If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic
reasons) results in most of the listeners being close to the rear wall,
the resulting bass level can be sufficiently reinforced by the boundary
that the overall sound quality becomes ‘boomy’. THX Ultra2 receivers
contain the BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation) feature to provide an
improved bass balance. BGC can be selected by choosing ‘THX
Ultra2 Subwoofer-Yes’ from the ‘Boundary Gain Compensation’
section of the ‘THX Audio setup menu’.
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development
of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the
listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed
imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology when released into the home consumer market may
exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging.
A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the
Dolby web site at
http ://www.dolby.com.
“SURROUND EX ™” is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Used
under authorization.
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital
audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound
to both movies and music.
DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range
digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality
for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy
of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker
intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of
DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.
“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered trademarks 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 surround motion pictures available on disc and on
VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a
mono surround channel from two-channel matrix stereo material. It is
better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve
separation, but because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be
disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multichannel.
Neo 6 offers several important improvements as follow,
Neo 6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix decoding from
stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive
six and five separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the
standard home-theater speaker layouts.
4
ENGLISH
Neo 6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel
or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows
naturally from the original presentation.
Neo 6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix recordings
into the five- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish
the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal
format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high
compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-
ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround
impression and space expression thanks to further expanded
surround signals. This format 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 also offers the SB (Surround Back)
channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different
surround signal recording methods, as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo:6” are trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1 kHz.
Professional audio has been 20- or 24-bit for some time, and there is
increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide extended dynamic
range. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency response and the
use of anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more favorable 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 to deliver 24-bit, 96
kHz audio into the home, but only in two channels, and with serious
limitations on picture. This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new player is needed,
and only analog outputs are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A
converters and 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 existing decoders. (Existing
decoders will output a 48 kHz signal)
3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on 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 motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.
Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio coding for
such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby
Digital can provide up to five full-range channels for left, center, and
right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels,
and a sixth ( ".1") channel for low-frequency effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding
technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby
Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfield on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally
suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While
conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be
encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback,
including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is
also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives
three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For
best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby

Circle Surround II (CS-II ) is a powerful and versatile multi-channel
technology. CS-II is designed to enable up to 6.1 multi-channel
surround sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources
and other matrix encoded sources. In all cases the decoder extends it
into 6 channels of surround audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The
CS-II decoder creates a listening environment that places the listener
“inside” music performances and dramatically improves both hi-fi
audio conventional surround-encoded video material. CS-II provides
composite stereo rear channels to greatly improve separation and
image positioning – adding a heightened sense of realism to both
audio and A/V productions.
CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog)
for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can
enable the dialog to become clearer and more discernable in movies
and it enables the bass frequencies contained in the original
programming to more closely achieve low frequencies – overcoming
the low frequency limitations of the speakers by full octave.

HDCD
®
(High Definition Compatible Digital
®
) is a patented process for
delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the original
microphone feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20-
bits of real musical information as compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a
sophisticated system to encode the additional four bits onto the CD
while remaining completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more dynamic range, a
focused 3-D sound stage, and extremely natural vocal and musical
timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the
original performance not a flat, digital imitation.

SPEAKER DISTANCE (TIME ALIGNMENT)
Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position
from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated
according to these distances.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating
position in the room.
This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper
sound space that the SR9300 and today’s sound systems are able to
produce.
Note that the speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the
Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here.
(There are several usefull books and special DVD and LD’s available

SURROUND MODE
The SR9300 is equipped with many surround modes. these are
provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according
to the content of the source to be played.
The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the
input signal and speaker setup.
AUTO
When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the
digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolbuy Digital Surround EX, DTS,
DTS-ES, HDCD or PCM-audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi channel source that has
a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital
signal.
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 II movie processing
before play.
HDCD and PCM 96 KHz source material can be played in this mode.
Note:
When you use this mode with certain DVD and LD players,
performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may
momentarily interrupt the output.
S(SOURCE ) - DIRECT
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass
management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency
response and the purist audio reproduction.
HDCD or 96 KHz PCM source material 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 and additional processing are also
defeated.
When you use this mode with certain DVD and LD players,
performing operations such as “Skip ” or “Stop ” may
momentarily interrupt the output.
THX CINEMA
THX Cinema mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital,
DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel, surround sources. The THX
processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of
top-quality theater.
Use the THX Cinema mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast.
In this mode, THX Surround EX will not operate in this mode.
THX SURROUND EX
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the
listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed
imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization than ever before.
THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source whenever
THX is active.
THX Surround EX is not available in the system without surround back
speaker(s).
Notes:
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in
6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode.
THX ULTRA2 CINEMA
THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers
giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode,
ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back
surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and
directional surround sounds.
This mode permits the playback of a non Surround EX/ES encoded
5.1 movie to be played back over a 7.1 system.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX
encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected, if the appropriate
flag has been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital
flag that allows automatic switching.
If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in
Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback
mode, otherwise THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing
to provide optimum replay.
THX MUSIC
For the replay of multi-channel music the THX Music Mode should be
selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround
channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, and Dolby
Digital to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
This mode is to be used with multi-channel music sources such as
DTS 5.1 music and Dolby Digital 5.1 music.
NOTES:
These modes are only available when you have set up a 7.1
speaker system (i.e. two Surround Back speakers).
These modes are only available when the input signal has
Surround Left and Surround Right contents.
DTS-CINEMA & DTS-MUSIC
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER
DISC, CD, and DVD.
In the DTS Music mode, the LFE signal is reduced by 10 dB. With DTS
music material, you should select the DTS Music mode.
When playing DTS movie discs select DTS cinema mode for proper
reproduction of the LFE channel.
The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input has been selected.
When the signal in another digital format is input, output of SR9300
will be muted.
DTS-ES (DISCRETE 6.1, MATRIX 6.1)
Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround
back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the
acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more
natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.
This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-
ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources
from DVD, etc..
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels
including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio
reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in the system without surround back
speaker(s).
DTS NEO: 6
This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using
high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the
frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel
separation.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either
the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the
NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
40
ENGLISH
2 PRO LOGIC II MOVIE, PRO LOGIC II MUSIC, PRO LOGIC
This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and
Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic II brings the excitement of surround sound to any
stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more
like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II has below 3 modes.
Pro Logic II MOVIE provides 5.1 channel surround sound from Dolby
Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks.
Pro Logic II MUSIC mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from
conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, tape, FM,
TV, stereo VCR, etc.
PRO LOGIC emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1
surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.
Notes:
Pro Logic II mode is available to 2ch input signal which is
encoded Dolby Digital or PCM format.
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing
when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
DSP SURROUND (HALL, MATRIX, MOVIE)
These modes provide surround effect processing from each input
source material.
They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres.
Select as your taste desires.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
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 multi-channels are
converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz source material can be
playback in stereo mode.
CIRCLE SURROUND II (CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)
Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-channel surround sound
playback of non-encoded and multi-channel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to 6.1 channels of
surround performance from entire collection of music and film,
including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.
Regarding to source material, you can select CSII-Cinema mode,
CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono mode.
Note:
CS II mode is available to 2ch input signal which is encoded
Dolby Digital or PCM format.
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing
when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
MULTI CH. 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. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a
mix of the right and left channel.
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a
two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multi-
channel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, , Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.
CAUTION
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 THX Surround EX mode. Note that
some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not
contain the identification signal. In this case, set the THX Surround
EX manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, Source- 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 SR9300 will be muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to
the player’s operation manual.
* Some DVD formatted discs featured 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 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 SR9300 digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR9300
cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.
* If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while playing a
DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
In such cases, select the surround mode the “DTS” or “DTS-ES”.
* If DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode is selected, digital
input cannot be switched to analog input.
* When the analog input function has been selected, Surround mode
cannot be switched to DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode.
* 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 OSD menu system or A/D
button.
* You cannot listen to DTS-encoded source in MULTI ROOM.
* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, 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 HDCD signal
* HDCD is effective only at the time of digital input.
* AUTO, Source- 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 SR9300 digitally.
This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the
output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the
SR9300 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
