B.G.C. (Boundary Gain Compensation)  
DESCRIPTION  
“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® 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.  
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development  
of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.  
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.  
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  
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.  
http ://www.dolby.com.  
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.  
“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.  
This is because they were originally mixed for a small room  
environment.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

• 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.  
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.)  
• 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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
“DTS”, “DTS-ES Extended Surround” and “Neo:6” are trademarks of  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.  
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.  
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.  
®
HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital ®) is a patented process for  
delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the original  
microphone feed.  
DTS 96/24 offers the following:  
1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master.  
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.  
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.

, COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
⁄ AUDIO IN/OUT (CD, TAPE, CD-R, TV,  
If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors,  
be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the  
SR9300. The SR9300 has four component video input connectors to  
DVD, DSS, LD, VCR1, VCR2)  
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 9 audio  
inputs (6 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of  
which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally  
labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players,DVD players  
and etc.... The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.  
B
R
obtain the color information (Y, C , C ) directly from the recorded DVD  
signal or other video component and one component video output  
connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display  
device.  
By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD  
signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the  
image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly  
lifelike colors and crisp detail.  
⁄ 7.1 CHANNEL INPUT  
By connecting a DVD Audio player, SACD player, or other component  
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1  
channel or 7.1 channel output.  
Notes:  
• This component video output is available to OSD menu system.  
⁄ RS232C

controller to control the operation of the SR9300 by using an external  
device.  
. Speaker outputs terminals (for Main  
room)  
Seven terminals are provided for the front left, front right, front center,  
surround left, surround right, surround back left, and surround back  
right speakers.  
The RS232C port may also be used in the future to update the  
operating software of the SR9300 so that it will be able to support new  
digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.

• Connect the these jacks to the matching + or – terminals on your  
speakers. When making speaker connections, always make  
certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the red (+)  
terminals on the SR9300 to the red terminals on the speaker and  
the black (–) terminals on the SR9300 to the black terminals on  
the speakers.  
terminals  
IN: Connect to multi-room remote control device, available from  
your Marantz dealer.  
OUT: Connect to the Marantz component equipped with remote  
control (RC-5) terminals in another room (Second zone).  
⁄ AC INLET  
⁄ DC TRIGGER output terminals  
Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the  
power outlet on the wall.  
Connect a device that needs to be triggered by DC under certain  
conditions (screen, power strip, etc…)  
Use the system OSD setup menu to determine the conditions by which  
these jacks will be active.  
⁄ AC OUTLETS  
Note:  
Connect the AC power cables of components such as a DVD and CD  
player to these outlets. SWITCHED and UNSWITCHED outlets are  
provided.  
• This output voltage is for (status) control only, It is not  
sufficient for drive capability.  
The one marked SWITCHED provides power only when the SR9300  
is turned on and is useful for components which you use every time  
you play your system.  
The one marked UNSWITCHED is always live as long as the SR9300  
is plugged into a live outlet.  
¤ External IR transmitter terminal  
If the SR9300 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow  
infrared beams to transmit to 2way remote commander, you will need  
to connect a IR transmitter to this output to be able to use the 2way  
remote controller.  
A component connected here may be left on permanently, or may be  
switched off with its own power switch.  
Then install the remote transmitter in an unblocked location where you  
can easily receive IR signal.  
Caution:  
• In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps, anything plugged in  
here should be powered up before the SR9300 is turned on.  
Note:  
• An optional remote transmitter kit is required.  
⁄ VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, DSS, LD,  
VCR1, VCR2)  
These are the video inputs and outputs. There are 6 video inputs and  
2 video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S-  
video configurations. Connect VCRs, LD players, DVD players, and  
other video components to the video inputs.  
S-video sources can be viewed through the S-video outputs, and  
composite sources can only be viewed through the composite output.  
The 2 video output channels can be used to be connected to video  
tape recorders for making recordings.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS  
CONNECTIONS  
Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker  
Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers  
on the same height as well as possible.  
SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems,  
using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and  
right speakers, a surround back and a subwoofer.  
Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker  
Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher to  
your ears 2 Ft. - 3 Ft.(70cm – 1m). Also place the speakers on the  
same height.  
For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same  
type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans  
across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.  
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the  
dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.  
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers.  
Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel  
speakers, but they should be of high quality.  
The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital  
Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital  
(AC-3) and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range,  
while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems.  
Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal  
enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low  
frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers,  
however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting  
of the switches in the menu system.

S-VIDEO COMPONENT VIDEO  
VIDEO CAMERA  
• This unit has the “TV-AUTO ON/OFF” function to turn ON or  
OFF automatically the power by the incoming video signal  
from VIDEO jacks.  
• You may need to setup the digital audio output format of your  
DVD player, or other digital source component. Refer to the  
instructions of the each component connected to the digital  
input jacks.  
VIDEO, S-VIDEO , COMPONENT JACKS  
There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.  
VIDEO jack  
The video signal for the VIDEO jacks is the conventional composite  
video signal.  
S-VIDEO jack  
• There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Please use an external  
RF demodulator with Dolby Digital decoder to connect a video  
disc player with the Dolby Digital RF output jack to the digital  
input jack on this unit.  
The video signal is separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) signals  
for the S-VIDEO jack. The S-VIDEO signals enables high-quality color  
reproduction. If your video component has an S-VIDEO output, we  
recommend to use it. Connect the S-VIDEO output jack on your video  
component to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.  
Component jack  
Make component video connections to a TV or monitor with  
component inputs to produce a higher quality video images. Use  
component video cable or 3 video cords to connect the component  
video out jacks on the SR9300 to the monitor.  
Notes:  
• Be sure to connect the left and right audio channels properly.  
Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and white  
connectors are the for L (left) channel.  
• Be sure to connect input and output of video signal properly.  
• If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal to the S-  
VIDEO or component jack on this unit, it is not necessary to  
connect the conventional video signal to the VIDEO  
(composite) jack. If you use both video inputs, this unit gives  
priority to the S-VIDEO signal.  
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input to  
the VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO jacks or component are  
output to the corresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO  
or component jacks, respectively.

SPEAKER SETUP  
After you have installed the SR9300, connected all the components,  
and determined the speaker layout, it is now time to perform the  
settings in the Speaker Setup menu for the optimum sound acoustics  
for your environment and speaker layout.  
Before you perform the following settings, it is important that you first  
determine the following characteristics:  
Note:  
SURR. BACK SIZE  
LARGE: Select if the surround back speakers are large sized.  
SMALL: Select if the surround back speakers are small sized.  
• You can not entry these setup, when you use MULTI  
SPEAKER function.  
• If “None” is selected for the Surround L/R setting, then this  
setting is not available.  
SPEAKER SIZE  
When setting the speaker size in the SPEAKER SIZE sub-menu, use  
the guidelines given below.  
Large: The complete frequency range for the channel you are setting  
will be output from the speaker.  
Small: Frequencies of the channel you are setting lower than 80 Hz  
will be output from the subwoofer.  
If the Subwoofer is set to “NONE” and the front speakers are  
set to “Large,” then the sound may be output from both the left  
and right speakers.

THX AUDIO SETUP  
SPEAKER DISTANCE (TIME ALIGNMENT)  
OSD menu system has an additional setup screen “THX AUDIO  
SETUP” on the 2nd page of SPEAKER SETUP.  
You can select setting of Boundary Gain Compensation and  
Advanced Speaker Array.  
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.

SPEAKERS LEVEL  
BASS PEAK LEVEL  
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all  
heard by the listener at the same level.  
With Dolby Digital and DTS , not only the LFE (Low Frequency  
Effects), but also the bass of all channels can be heard from the  
Subwoofer or Large-speakers. This procedure prevents these  
speakers from becoming too loud and creating an unbalanced sound.  
Since the sound is output at a loud volume, perform this operation  
carefully.  
Note:  
• The speaker level settings is not available in 7.1channel input  
mode and S-Direct mode.

two surround back speakers in the Speaker Size menu.  
• The setting of Surr.Back appears if set for one surround back  
speaker in the Speaker Size menu.  
• The setup level for each channel is memorized for reproduction  
in all surround mode.  
• To adjust the speaker levels for 7.1-channel input sources, you  
will need to use the 7.1CH-INPUT sub menu. (See page 36).  
• In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held Sound  
Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow  
®
averaging. A Radio Shack SPL meter (catalogue number 330  
- 2055) works well. Using the internal channel noise  
generators, set each channel so that you read 75 dB SPL from  
each channel when seated at the listening position.

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be  
excessively bright and harsh when played back  
over audio equipment in the home. This is  
because film soundtracks were designed to be  
played back in large movie theater environments.  
Activating the Cinema Re-EQ™ feature when  
watching a film made for movie theaters corrects  
this and restores the correct tonal balance.  
Cinema Re-EQ™ is therefore not necessary for  
material that was not designed for movie  
theaters (for example, sports programming,  
television shows, made for TV movies, etc..).  
The Cinema Re-EQ™ feature can be activated  
only while in Dolby Pro Logic Mode, or while

DIALOGUE NORMALIZATION MESSAGE  
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital.  
When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital,  
sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display  
which will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value).  
Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material  
has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example,  
if you see the following message: "Dial Norm + 4 dB" in the front panel  
display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the  
volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you  
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual.

THX ULTRA2 CINEMA  
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.  
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.  
The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the  
input signal and speaker setup.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
NOTES:  
S(SOURCE ) - DIRECT  
• 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.  
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.  
DTS-CINEMA & DTS-MUSIC  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
Notes:  
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in  
6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode.

2 PRO LOGIC II MOVIE, PRO LOGIC II MUSIC, PRO LOGIC  
CAUTION  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
PRO LOGIC emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1  
surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.  
Notes:  
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to  
the player’s operation manual.  
• 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.  
* 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.  
DSP SURROUND (HALL, MATRIX, MOVIE)  
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.  
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.  
* 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”.  
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.  
* 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.  
CIRCLE SURROUND II (CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)  
* 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.  
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.  
* 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:  
• 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.  
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).  
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.  
* 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.  
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.

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE  
RECORDING A DIGITAL SOURCE  
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening  
through the SR9300 is sent to the record outputs.  
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the DIGITAL outputs,  
you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or  
other digital recording system.  
This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be  
recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for  
TAPE OUT , CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and VCR2/DVD-R OUT in  
the record mode.  
You can select the digital source from the DIGITAL output for digital by  
OSD menu system.(see page 31)

Notes:  
Notes:  
• The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is  
present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital  
signal, or change the format of the digital signal.  
• If you change the input source during recording, you will record  
the signals from the newly selected input source.  
• In addition, the digital recorder must be compatible with the  
output signal.  
For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be  
recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS  
signals may not.  
• You cannot record the surround effects.  
• Digital input signals are only output to the digital outputs. There  
is no conversion from digital to analog .  
When connecting CD players and other digital components, do  
not connect only the digital terminals, but the analog ones as  
well.
