ENGLISH HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital ®) is a patented process for delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the original microphone feed. 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. HDCD system manufactured under license from Microsoft.

FEATURES The SR4600 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 IIx (Movie, Music and Game), Circle Surround II (Cinema and Music). In addition, Marantz has focused on the future. By utilizing pre-out jacks, 7.1 direct inputs the SR4600 is tomorrow's technology, today! The SR4600 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 80 watts of high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the seven 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 SR4600 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results. The SR4600 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 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. • Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital , DTS ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1, Neo: 6) • Dolby Pro Logic IIx (Movie, Music, Game) • Circle Surround II (Movie, Music, Mono) • HDCD decording • 7 x 80 Watts (8 Ohm), Discrete Amplifiers • Massive Energy Power Supply, Huge EI Transformer, Large ELCO's. • 192 kHz/24 bit Crystal® DAC for all 7 Channels • 32 bit Digital Surround Processing Chipsets • Video Off Mode • Large Heavy Duty Speaker Terminals for all Channels • Auto Input Signal Detection • Improved Station Name Input Method, 50 Presets • Auto Adjust Function for Speaker Distance Settings (Delay Time) • Universal remote control • Simple Setup Function • Simple Video Conversion (Video ↔ S-Video) ACCESSORIES Remote Controller RC5500SR OSD INPUT/DISC+ CH.SEL AUDIO SYSTEMRCR5E5M00OSTRE CONTROLLER BASS T-MODE SUB-T/ATT LIP.SYNC TREBLE RDS PTY S-DIRECT T.TSOENTEUP/ ENTER NIGHT 1 AUTO DISPLAY 4 CSII 2 MENU OFF CLEAR 7 MCH-ST 5 EX/ES 3 DTS MEMO 8 STEREO 6VIRTUAL 0 A/D TUNE/SEARCHCHANNEL/SKIP 9 P.SCAN/V-OFF 7.1CH IN F.DIRECT VOL.TV SLEEP TV TUNER CD AUX1 MUTE AMP VOML.AIN MENU POWER VCR1 DSS/VCR2 TAPE DVD CDR/MD AAA-size batteries X 2 AM Loop Antenna FM Antenna The SR4600 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from dealers and consumers.
