FEATURES
The SR5500 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 x (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 and a RS-
232C communication port, the SR5500 is
tomorrow’s technology, today!
The SR5500 features a fully discrete 7 channel
amplifier section capable of delivering 90 watts of
high-current amplification, for continuously clean
and stable power into each of the 7 channels. It
employs a massive EI power transformer in
combination with oversized filter capacitors.
Current feedback topology allows total operation
stability, while requiring minimal amounts of
negative feed-back, resulting in an excellent
transient frequency response and superb sonic
transparency. 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
SR5500 can easily drive the most demanding
speakers with optimum results.
The SR5500 incorporates the most advanced
Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a
Crystal
® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of
the 8 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 SR5500 is designed and engineered with
extensive feedback from custom installation
experts, dealers and consumers. It features multi-
room/multisource, a RS-232C communication
port, heavy duty speaker binding posts and an
extensive array of both analog and digital inputs /
outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2
assingnable component inputs, SACD Multi
Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs video convert
system and OSD output versatility is taken to a
stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR5500 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.
This unit has Simple Setup function for easy setup.
You can setup all speaker settings by just selecting
your room size and the number of your speakers
with Simple Setup function. You can also setup
customized settings just like conventional AV
amplifiers.

User Guide
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.
