Technological glossary:
The SR8002 represents cutting-edge technology and
innovation with several unique Marantz sound enhancements
and features. The new generation of Marantz AV receivers are
stylish and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of the
SR8002, buttons are kept to a minimum. The source selector
and volume controls are intuitively placed. The cursor leaf on
the hidden panel can be used as a navigator through most of
the functions of the SR8002 to be operated via the front panel.
The Multitude of surround decoders provides
uncompromised 6,7 or 8 channel playback of any
multi-channel program, whether it's movie soundtracks or
music, over the widest possible seating area. Tomorrow's
technology already built in. 4 inputs and 2 outputs of the
future standard digital connection - HDMI. Excellent video
processing including I/P conversion makes it even possible to
enjoy analogue connected video sources via the HDMI out.
With a fully discrete Current Feedback amplifier section
capable to deliver 7x 125 watts of high-current amplification,
the SR8002 delivers a continuously clean and stable power
into each of the seven channels. Designed and engineered
with extensive feed-back from custom installation experts,
dealers and consumers, the SR8002 versatility is taken to a
new stunning level. An easy-to-use learning remote control
with LCD display allows full access to all of the operation.
Unrivaled home entertainment
The SR8002 incorporates Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD,
DTS HD and 7.1 Multichannel PCM for HD Audio. The most
advanced 32-bit Digital Signal Processing circuitry decoding
the latest generation of digital surround sound such as Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby THX Surround EX, Dolby Digital EX, DTS
ES, DTS Neo:6, Circle Surround II, and Dolby Pro-Logic IIx.
The receiver provides an enveloping 7.1 channel playback of
any multi-channel program, whether it's movie soundtracks or
music, over the widest possible seating area.
Pro Logic IIx is the first and only technology to process
anynative stereo or 5.1 signal into a 6.1- or 7.1- channel output.
A product of Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix
decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a complete
surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment
experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded
sources. On playback systems with four surround speakers,
the result is a more seamless, natural and enveloping listening
experience on everything from stereo music CDs to DVDs
encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX. Until now, processing
stereo and 5.1 program sources into 6.1 or 7.1 output channels
necessitated that the A/V receiver include a variety of
decoders, often from different developers. In contrast, Dolby
Pro Logic IIx decoding does it all, offering a single
upgradeable solution for the home theater enthusiast who
wants to go from .
Latest surround technologies
8 channel audio from any source
5.1 channels to 6.1 and 7.1. Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology
features Movie and Music modes that function with 5.1 as
well as stereo sources, including 24-bit/192kHz and
24-bit/96kHz sources. The Game mode restores the impact
low-frequency surround effects by routing them to the
systems' subwoofer. Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a
natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to the
home theater environment.
The SR8002 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier
sectioncapable of delivering 125 watts of high-current
amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into
each of the 7 channels. It employs a massive toroidal power
transformer in combination with high grade oversized filter
capacitors. Current Feedback amplification is a well known,
Marantz’ original circuit technology accomplishments from
the HiFi amplifier field. Due to the introduction of Super
Audio (Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio) multi-channel software
and an increasing amount of universal disc players, AV
Receiver/amplifier require ahigher performance amplifier not
only for digital surroundm sound from DVD Video via the
digital input, but also for analog multi-channel. Even in the
DVD Video world the amount of higher quality software
increases with formats like DTS 96/24. The Current Feedback
amplifier technology fits perfectly with the high requirements
set for this Super Audio software providing wide-bandwidth,
high-speed reproduction. The impedance at the Current
Feedback point is limited, resulting in a very low phase shift.
The SR8500 therefore can keep the phase compensation via
Negative FeedBack (NFB) to a minimum, resulting in high
through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic
transparency for the full bandwidth up to 100kHz.
Current Feedback power amplification
SR8002 is equipped with a high quality video conversion. It
can convert the Composite signal up to S-Video/Component
and S-Video up to Component; as well as down conversion.
But it doesn't stop here. All analogue signals can even
outputted via HDMI. To avoid compatibility problems in this
process the SR8002 incorporates I/P conversion. This means
each signal will be converted from interlace to progressive
standard. All this allows you to connect the best possible
video cable between the SR8002 and the display and of
course you only need one. In order to avoid synchronization
and eroded video quality problems, the SR8002 has a high
quality video converter equipped with digital video
processing consisting of for example; 4H line memory, time
based corrector, a triple 10-bit DAC, filed locking, VCR
detection and anti aliasing filtering. The SR8002 provides you
the highest analogue quality from all sources connected via a
single component connection.
