ENGLISH
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 SR5400 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 the SR5400
is tomorrow's technology, today!
The SR5400 features a fully discrete 6 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 90 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
action movie soundtracks and full range
(multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to
generate very high output voltages, the SR5400
can easily drive the most demanding speakers
with optimum results.
The SR5400 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 SR5400 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, SACD Multi Channel (6.1
channel) direct inputs and OSD output versatility is
taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the
SR5400 can output the OSD information through
the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.
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.
The new generation of Marantz Receivers is stylish
and completely symmetrical. On the front panel of
the SR5400, 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 SR5400 to
be operated via the front panel. The SR5400 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.
