INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Marantz SR-14EX THX/ DTS/Dolby
Digital Surround receiver. This remarkable component has been
engineered to provide you with many years of home theater
enjoyment. Please take a few minutes to read this manual thoroughly
before you connect and operate the SR-14EX. As there are a number
of connection and configuration options, you are encouraged to
discuss your own particular home theater setup with your Marantz A/
V specialist dealer.
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development
of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the
listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed
imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology when released into the home consumer market may
exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging.
A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the
Dolby web site at
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.
“SURROUND EX ™” is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Used
under authorization.
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.
When the THX mode of the SR-14EX is on, three distinct THX
technologies are automatically added:
Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance for watching a
movie in a home environment.
These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighter for a large movie
theater. Re-EQ compensates for this and prevents the soundtracks
from being overly bright and harsh when played in a home theater.
Timbre Matching-filters the information going to the surround
speakers so they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the
sound coming from the front speakers.
This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround
speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes one surround channel’s time
and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel.
This expands the listening position and creates with only two
surround speakers the same spacious surround experience as in a
movie theater with multiple surround speakers.
Dolby Digital lets you enjoy Digital TV, Digital Satellite as well as DVD,
LD software in digital surround, which is the next step above Dolby
Pro Logic.
In comparison with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital can provide
separate left surround and right surround channels, for more precise
localization of sounds and a more convincing, realistic ambience.
And, with Dolby Digital, all five main channels can be full ranged and
a subwoofer can be added to each channel , if desired.
By providing up to 5.1channels of digital audio independently, Dolby
Digital lets you enjoy better sound quality and more powerful
presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
“Dolby”, “AC-3”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
The Marantz SR-14EX was required to pass a rigorous series of
quality and performance tests, in addition to incorporating the
technologies explained above, in order to be THX Ultra certified by
Lucasfilm Ltd.
THX Ultra requirements cover every aspect of performance including
pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro
Logic, stereo and Mono will all benefit from the THX mode when being
viewed.
The THX mode should only be activated when watching movies which
were originally produced for a movie theater environment.
THX need not be activated for music, movies made especially for TV,
or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc.
This is because they were originally mixed for a small room
environment.
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete
digital audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel digital sound
to both movies and music.
DTS is a multi-channel sound system designed to create full range
digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality
for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy
of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker
intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of
DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.
“Lucasfilm®” and “THX®” are registered trademarks of Lucasfilm Ltd.
“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are trademarks of Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.

®
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.

OPERATION OF REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
1. Remote control
The distance between the transmitter of the remote control unit and
the IR SENSOR of the SR-14EX should be less than about 15 feet. If
the transmitter is pointed to a direction other than the IR SENSOR or if
there is an obstacle between them, remote control may not be
possible.
Remote-controllable range
SR-14EX
Approx. 15 feet
60°
Remote control unit (RC5000i)
2. Receiving the remote control codes
The RC5000i can learn most of the remote control codes from various
equipment, it learns the full word length of the code it is receiving.
Due to the sensitivity of the receiving LED the RC5000i may also
“learn” noise from fluorescent lights, etc. which can quickly fill up the
memory of the RC5000i.
In order to maximize the memory capacity of the RC5000i please pay
close attention to the following:
(1) Aim the transmitting remote control at a direct line of sight to
the RC5000i remote receiver eye.
(2) Keep 2 inches between transmitting remote and the RC5000i
receiving eye.

SPEAKERS SETUP AND LEVELS SETUP
SPEAKERS SETUP
SETUP: Select “LOCK” with < or > button in order to lock
the contents of the SPKRS SET UP & LEVELS
SETUP MENUS. Then, when the contents of the
these setup menus needs to be changed, select
“UNLOCK” with < or > button.
Speakers size
The first few adjustments tell the SR-14EX which type of speakers are
in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which
speakers receive low frequency (bass) information.
If you use full THX speaker systems which are approved by LUCASFILM
LTD, set to the SMALL/THX position for front L/R ch., center ch. , surr. L/
R ch., surr.back ch, and then select subwoofer =YES.
FRONT L/R : Select the size of front L/R speakers , “SMALL/
THX” or “LARGE” with < or > button.
SUBWOOFER : Select “YES” if a subwoofer is connected to your
system, select “NO” subwoofer is NOT connected
to your system.
In turn, these settings will determine which speakers receive low
frequency (bass) information.
SUB-W OUT : “THX” position is required, but If you desire an
additional front L/R mixed subwoofer output in the
STEREO mode, select “L/R MIX” with < or > button.
This setup is available when FRONT L/R is set
“LARGE”. Notes that SURR BACK will be set “NONE”.
CENTER : Select the size of center speaker “SMALL/THX” ,
“LARGE”, with < or > button. Select “NONE” , if a
center speaker is NOT connected to your system.
SURR. L/R : Select the size of surround L/R speakers “SMALL/
THX” , “LARGE”, with < or > button. Select
“NONE”, if surround speakers are NOT connected
to your system.
For the purpose of establishing proper bass reproduction, use the
LARGE settings if the speaker being used at any position is a
traditional full-range loudspeaker that is capable of reproducing
sound below 80 Hz.
Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that are not able to reproduce sounds below 80Hz. Note
that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to
reproduce low frequency sounds.
Low frequency sounds from every channel in your system can be fed
to a single subwoofer, since low frequency sounds are non-
directional and not location sensitive. The SR-14EX will automatically
send low frequency signals from any channel set to “SMALL” to the
Low Frequency Effects (Subwoofer) channel.
Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to
the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to
reproduce low frequency sounds.
SURR. BACK : Select the number of surround back channels,
“2ch/THX”, “1ch” or “NONE”, with < or > button.
The THX Surround EX system requires two
speakers for surround back channels.
But if you have only one speaker for the surround
back channel, select “1CH”.
(Note: If 1CH is selected, the signal of surround
back will go out from pre output of surround back L
ch only. In that case, connect your external
amplifier to this output terminal.)
If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult
the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.
SPEAKER TYPE AND POSITIONING FOR THX SURROUND EX
Type
THX suggests the use of pair of dipolar speakers for the Sb channels
but a pair of monopole type speaker may also be used.
Select “NONE”, if a surround back speaker is NOT
connected to your system.
(Note: If the surround back speaker is selected
“NONE”, THX Surround EX mode is not available.)
SURR. B L/R : Select the size of the surround back speaker(s)
“SMALL/THX”, “LARGE”, with < or > button.
If a surround back speaker(s) is connected to your
system.
Positioning
It has been found that an angle of 150° from the Front Center speaker
is a good starting point for establishing the location of Sbl and Sbr
speakers. This is suggested from AES preprint #4860. The optimum
position for Surround Back speakers is somewhat room dependent.
The Surround Back channel should be enveloping but not lost in the sound
of the side speakers. Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their
orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipole, the arrows point
forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards each other
to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room:

Level adjust : Adjust the level of the test tone for each channel
with the LVL+, LVL– or, <, > buttons of the RC5000i.
The current volume level is shown at the center of
the display.
Speaker distance for time alignment
Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position
from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated
according to these distances.
UNITS: The units may be selected in “ft” or “m” with < or > button.
If you select “ft” the setting parameter will change in 1 foot
increments. If you select “m” it will change in 0.3 meters
increments.
Notes:
• The setup level for each channel is memorized for reproduction
in all surround mode.
• These levels are common for all surround modes, except 6CH-
INPUT mode.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating
position in the room.
• In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held
Sound Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow
averaging.
• A Radio Shack SPL meter (catalogue number 330 - 2055)
works well.
• Using the internal channel noise generators, set each channel so
that you read 75 dB SPL from each channel when seated at the
listening position.
(There are several usefull books and special DVD and LD’s available
to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are
unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you.
They are trained professionals familiar with even the most
sophisticated custom installations. Marantz recommends the
WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for further information about this).
®
Then provide the distance values from that point to each speaker
during the speaker setup process.
Select the target speaker with “ok” button, and input parameter with
< or > button.
After input for each speaker’s distance has been finished ,move
cursor to ENTER with ^ or v button and press the ok button.
If your input is out of the range of the SR-14EX’s processing,
“incomplete channel” will flash.
In that case, input an acceptable parameter or improve the speaker
placement.
LEVELS SETUP 2/2 (BASS PEAK LEVEL LIMIT)
With Dolby Digital and DTS , not only the LFE (Low Frequency
Effects), but also the bass of all channels can be heard from the
Subwoofer or Large-speakers. This procedure prevents these
speakers from becoming too loud and creating an unbalanced
sound. Since the sound is output at a loud volume, perform this
operation carefully.

B AS S P E A K L E V E L
The maximum distance a speaker may be placed is 30 feet (9 meters)
from the listening position, which means you can setup your system in
a room which is 60 feet long! If your home theater room is larger than
this please consult a professional as it is sized more closely to a real
movie theater!

• If you connect an LD player, you should connect not only the RF
output (if it has one) but also the Digital output.
Laser Discs which are not encoded with Dolby Digital will then
send the sound through the digital output (PCM audio). If the
disc you are playing is old and doesn’t have a digital soundtrack,
you must connect the L/R analog outputs on the laser disc player
to the laser disc analog inputs on the SR-14EX.
• When a DTS-LD or DTS-CD is playing, this setup is not available.
This is to avoid noise being generated from the analog input.
In this case, the DTS audio must be played through the player’s

DIALOGUE NORMALIZATION MESSAGE
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital.
When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby
Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel
display which will read “Dial Norm X dB” (X being a numeric value).
Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material
has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example,
if you see the following message: “Dial Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel
display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the
volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual.
If you do not see a message or see “Dial Norm 0 dB” in the front panel
display, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

SURROUND MODES
The SR-14EX incorporates digital signal processors (DSP) which can reproduce various surround effects you experience in concert halls and movie
theaters, etc. Nine Surround Modes, are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.
AUTO
When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, PCM-audio or DTS. THX
Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX auto trigger flag in the digital signal.
Note:
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro-Logic
processing before play.
HDCD and PCM 96 KHz source material can be played in this mode.
THX Cinema
THX Cinema surround mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel
surround sources. The THX processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of top-quality theater. Use
the THX Cinema mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast. In this mode, THX Surround EX will not operate.
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to THX processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
However output will be muted when 96 kHz PCM signal is input.
THX Surround EX In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital surround EX technology are able to
reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front
center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth,
spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.
THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source whenever THX is active. This mode is not available in the system
without surround back speaker(s).
2 (DOLBY Digital, This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
DOLBY Pro Logic) Dolby Pro Logic processing can be used on Dolby Surround encoded two channel source material (Dolby Digital two
channels, PCM-audio and Analog stereo). This allows play of the four discrete channels (left, center, right and surround).
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
When a signal in another format is input, output will be muted.
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD.
In the DTS Music mode, the LFE signal is reduced by 10 dB. With DTS music material, you should select the DTS Music mode.
When playing DTS movie discs select DTS cinema mode for proper reproduction of the LFE channel. The DTS mode cannot be
used when an Analog input has been selected. When the signal in another digital format is input, output will be muted.
DTS Cinema
DTS Music
DSP SURROUND These modes provide surround effect processing from each input source material.
(Hall,Matrix,Movie) They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres. Select as your taste desires.
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be processed in this mode when sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
The 96 kHz sampling frequency mutes output.
5ch STEREO
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by
feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and
right surround speaker. Additionally, the center and surround back channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
Stereo program sources (left and right channels)play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multi-channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 KHz source material
can be play back in stereo mode.
STEREO
MONO
Source Direct
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range
frequency response and the purist audio reproduction.
HDCD and 96 KHz source material can be play back in this mode.
Notes:
Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large, Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and Subwoofer = yes
automatically.
Tone controls are also defeated.
Caution for DTS signal:
Caution for 96kHz PCM-audio signal:
This signal can be played when the connected DVD-player, laser-
disc player or CD-player is capable of DTS-digital output. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
This signal can be played when a DVD-player or DAT-player
connected to SR-14EX is capable of 96 kHz PCM output. For details,
refer to the player’s operation manual.
Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce noise. If
that happens, set the Surround mode to DTS.
The signal can be played when STEREO or AUTO has been selected
for the Surround mode.
Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protect. When using such
disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
Playing a DTS-CD or DTS laser disc causes the player’s analog
output terminal to output noise. Before playing DTS sources, be
sure to connect the player’s digital output to SR-14’s digital input.
Be careful when connecting the output of these players to analog
audio input.
Note that SR-14EX has the following restrictive functions built in to
reduce noise emission as much as possible.
Caution for HDCD signal:
This signal can be played in “AUTO” and “S-Direct” mode.
Depending on the CD-player, HDCD signal is not output correctly.
If DTS is selected while in the Surround mode, digital input cannot
be switched to analog input. When the analog input function has
been selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS.
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.
