ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES and “Neo:6” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at 44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24bit 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.
ENGLISH FEATURES The SR9600 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, Music and Game), Dolby Pro-Logic IIx (Movie, Music and Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema, Music and Mono). In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.

ENGLISH MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS RC3200B SETUP If you want to personalize your RC3200B even more beyond its standard programming features, RC3200Setup is the tool to use. You can find more information and updates to the software at “http://www.marantz.com”. RC3200Setup is a visual editor for creating and configuring RC3200B Configuration Files (NCF) on your computer. An NCF is a file that is used to define the RC3200B behavior and appearance of the LCD touch screen.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT The ideal surround speaker setup for this unit is 8speaker, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. 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.
