Marantz R3001 User Manual

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound 
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback 
system playing any multichannel audio source (such as 
found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby 
Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right channels 
play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is 
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 
multichannels are converted to two channel stereo. 
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in 
stereo mode.

In the Pure Direct mode, the tone control circuit and 
bass management confi guration are bypassed for 
full range frequency response and the purist audio 
reproduction.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in 
this mode.

•  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 CD 

players, performing operations such as “Skip” or 
“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

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 SR3001 digitally. This is 
because the digital signal has been processed 
(such as the output level, sampling frequency, 
or frequency response) and the SR3001 cannot 
recognize the signal as DTS data. 

*  Depending on the player used, DTS play may 

produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction. 

*  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 SETUP MAIN MENU or 
the A/D button.

*  The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/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 for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal
*  When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded 

software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the 
EX/ES mode.

*  Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround 

EX-encoded software does not contain the 
identifi cation signal.  In this case, set the EX/ES 
mode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
*  AUTO, Pure- 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 SR3001 will be 
muted. 

*  Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For 

details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

*  Some DVD formatted discs feature 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.

NOTE for HDCD signal
*  HDCD is effective only at the time of digital input.

*  AUTO, PURE DIRECT, and STEREO modes can 

be used when playing HDCD signals (such as 
from CD discs that contain HDCD). 

*  You may not be able to play some HDCD source 

signals from certain CD players if you connect the 
player to the SR3001 digitally. This is because the 
digital signal has been processed (such as the 
output level, sampling frequency, or frequency 
response) and the SR3001 cannot recognize the 
signal as HDCD data.
