Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally
decode the thousands of commercially available Dolby
Surround encoded video cassettes and television
programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can
also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced
Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless
6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience.

Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile
multichannel technology. CS-II is designed to
enable up to 6.1 multichannel 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.

FEATURES

The SR4500 incorporates the latest generation of
digital surround sound decoding technology such
as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, DTS ES
(Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1), DTS Neo:6 (Cinema,
Music), Dolby Pro-Logic IIx (Movie, Music and
Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music).
In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By
utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs the SR4500
is tomorrow's technology, today!
The SR4500 features a fully discrete 7 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 80 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean and
stable power into each of the seven channels. It
employs a massive EI power transformer in
combination with oversized filter capacitors. This
design configuration is capable of a clear and
powerful reproduction of the most demanding action
movie soundtracks and full range (multichannel)
music discs. Through its ability to generate very high
output voltages, the SR4500 can easily drive the
most demanding speakers with optimum results.
The SR4500 incorporates the most advanced
Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a
Crystal ® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of
the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits
are incorporated for the FL display, audio and
video sections for maximum separation, clarity and
dynamic range. Together with hand-selected
customized components, all elements work in
harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the
artist had intended.
The SR4500 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from dealers and consumers. It
features a heavy duty speaker binding posts and
an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs
/ outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2
component inputs and SACD Multi Channel (7.1
channel) direct inputs is taken to a stunning new
level.
An easy-to-use universal remote control allows full
access to all of the operating functions and can be
used for system operation as well.
This unit has Simple Setup function for easy setup.
You can setup all speaker settings by just selecting
your room size and the number of your speakers
with Simple Setup function. You can also setup
customized settings just like conventional AV
amplifiers.
The TruSurround Headphone technology provides
a surround sound listening experience over
headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such as DVD
movies over headphones, the listening experience is
fundamentally different than listening to speakers.
Since the headphone speaker drivers are covering the
pinna of the ear, the listening experience differs greatly
from traditional speaker playback. TruSurround utilizes
patented headphone perspective curves to solve this
problem and provides a non-fatiguing, immersive,
home theater listening experience. TruSurround
Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from
mono and stereo material.
