The SR4600 features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifier section
delivering 80 watts of high-current amplification and includes a
full selection of performance and convenience features. Endless
enjoyment is available at the touch of a button on the
preprogramed system remote control. The AM/FM tuner has a
memory for 50 station presets and has RDS. In audio mode, the
source direct function is extremely efficient for optimized
clarity and detailed musical reproduction. It bypasses the entire
A/V section, including the D/A and A/D conversions to realize
the shortest signal path, for minimal interference and
disturbance by radiated electrical or magnetic fields. The large
power supply incorporates a high current power transformer,
with ample capabilities to drive low impedance loudspeakers.
The SR4600 provides full analogue video switching including
Component video compatible with HD signals. To extent the
ease of connection we have incorporated a video conversion on
CVBS and S-Video level. In their drive for perfection our
engineers have succeeded in further improving the sound
quality of the SR4600. P ow er an d p erfo rm an ce
The SR4600 incorporates the most advanced 32-bit Digital Signal
Processing circuitry decoding the latest generation of digital
surround sound such as Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, DTS Neo:6,
Circle Surround II, and Dolby Pro-Logic IIx. L ate st su rro und te ch nolo gie s
Dolby Digital EX brings a new dimension of depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization to home theater environment.
The benefits of DD-EX include more realistic fly-over and fly-
around effects, a more stable image for atmospheres and music
and a more consistent surround effect throughout the
auditorium or home viewing area. D olb y D ig it a l E X
The DTS-ES surround system offering a superb sound quality
and a range of formats. The Discrete 7.1 offers the ultimate
quality of surround field creation, while the Matrix 7.1 provides
compatibility for the existing DTS 5.1 software. And the Neo:6 is
to create 7.1 surround stage from any two channel source. DTS
96/24 allows for 5.1 channel sound track encoding at a rate of
96kHz/24 bits on DVD-Video titles. Higher sampling rates
provide greater bit depth and allow a wider frequency
response. D TS-E S Pro Logic IIx is the first and only technology to process any
native stereo or 5.1 signal into a 6.1- or 7.1- channel output. A
product of Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix
decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a complete
surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment
experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology features Movie and Music
modes that function with 5.1 as well as stereo sources, including
24-bit/192kHz and 24-bit/96kHz sources. The Game mode
restores the impact low-frequency surround effects by routing
them to the system's subwoofer. Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology
delivers a natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening
experience to the home theater environment. E

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, or outer part of the ear, the listening experience differs
greatly from traditional speaker playback. TruSurround uses
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. S R S T ru Su rro und H ead p hone
SR4600 is equipped with a simple but useful video conversion.
It can convert the S-Video signal to composite and composite to
S-Video. This feature reduces the amount of video cabling
needed to connect all different video sources to your display or
projector. In addition there is a component video signal
switching. V id eo co nvers io n

Music and sound track reproduction is enhanced through a
highly efficient source direct switch, which bypasses the total
A/V section in audio mode. In direct mode, interference and
disturbance by radiated electrical or magnetic fields are
minimized, ensuring the shortest signal path for the highest
degree of clarity and detail. Highly accurate 192kHz/24-bit
audio D/A converters process the analog to digital
conversion, resulting in a far more faithful sound quality
compared to the original source. It encompasses the Marantz
heritage with refinements such as a metal alloy faceplate, an
efficient video off mode and high grade components. Exp erie n cin g th e e m otio n
The SR4600 AV receiver provides a choice of several
crossover frequencies. This lets you 'fine tune' the speaker
system by selecting the optimum frequency to ensure a match
of the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the
main speaker system A dju sta b le cro ss-o ver
The SR4600 is equipped with a 2 Component input terminals
to connect your video source through the centre of your home
entertainment. It provides one touch switching of video and
audio source with a high quality reproduction. It features
heavy duty speaker binding posts and several both analogue
and digital in-outputs. In addition an extensive feature list,
such as auto preset tuning (program up to 50 stations),
manual station naming, front panel cursor control, delay
function and clock/timer characterize the functionality of the
SR4600. With the Marantz audio system placed in the main
room of the house, a second pair of loudspeakers can be
placed at a separate room. F u nctio nal co nven ie n ce
To control entire system with one remote handset, Marantz
has designed the D-Bus system. The unique Marantz D-Bus
connection allows convenient linkage to other Marantz
components Individual devices inform each other and remote
control commands are communicated via this bus line. The
SR4600 comes with an easy to use pre-coded remote control,
for full intuitive and extensive system control. I n M ara n tz sty le
Every electronic equipment product is built of single
electrical components that are made of different material and
substances. Marantz assure that the components used in our
products are free of any dangerous material or substance to
keep our environment clean. We have for example removed
hazardous substances like lead in the solder. E nvir o nm
