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 SR6400 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 II (Movie and Music),
Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music) .
In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By
utilizing pre-out jacks, 6.1 direct inputs and a
RS232C communication port, the SR6400 is
tomorrow's technology, today!
The SR6400 features a fully discrete 6 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 100 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean
and stable power into each of the six 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
a c t i o n m o v i e s o u n d t r a c k s a n d f u l l r a n g e
(multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to
generate very high output voltages, the SR6400
can easily drive the most demanding speakers
with optimum results.
The SR6400 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 SR6400 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from custom installation
experts, dealers and consumers. It features a
RS232C communication port, heavy duty speaker
binding posts and an extensive array of both
analog and digital inputs / outputs. With 6
assignable digital inputs, 2 component inputs,
SACD Multi Channel (6.1 channel) direct inputs
and a speaker-B and OSD output versatility is
taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the
SR6400 can output the OSD information through
the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.
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 new generation of Marantz Receivers is stylish
and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of
the SR6400, buttons are kept to a minimum. Source
selectors and volume controls are intuitively placed.
The large left dial knob on the left can be used as
multi dial which allows all functions of the SR6400 to
be operated via the front panel. The SR6400 is here
to perform in your unrivaled home entertainment
setup.
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.
