wCOMPONENTVIDEO INPUT/

OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component

video connectors, be sure to connect them to these

component video connectors on the unit. This unit

has 4 component video input connectors to obtain

the color information (Y, CB, CR) directly from the

recorded DVD signal or other video component and

two component video outputs connector to output it

directly into the matrix decoder of the display device.

By sending the pure DVD component video signal

directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing

that normally would degrade the image.The result is

vastly increased image quality, with incredibly life like

colors and crisp detail.

The Monitor Out 2 terminal is also used for ZONE

output.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-

speaker systems, using front left and right speakers,

a center speaker, surround left and right speakers,

a surround back left and right speakers, and a

subwoofer.

Forbestresults we recommend that allfront speakers

be of the same type, with identical or similar driver

units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front

sound stage as the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as

over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion picture

emanates from the center channel.

It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the

main speakers.Surround channel speakers need not

be identical to the front channel speakers, but they

should be of high quality.

The surround center speaker is useful for playback

of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of

the beneﬁts of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that

surround channels are discrete full range, while they

were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic” type

systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used

as it is optimized for lowfrequency reproduction.If you

have full range front speakers, however, they may be

used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the

switches in the menu system.

Surround Back Right

Front Right

Front Left

Front Center

Surround Left

Subwoofer

Surround Back Left

Surround Right

Front left and right speakers

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers

with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speaker

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front

L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a little

backward from the line.

Surround left and right speakers

When this unit is used in surround operation, the

preferred location for surround speakers is on the

side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the

listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Surround back left and right speakers

Surround back speakers are required when a full 7.1-

channel system is installed.

Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the

listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Subwoofer

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum

bass effect.As the subwoofer only handle low frequency.

You can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers,and a center speaker

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the

three front speakers at the same height, as best as

possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround

back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back

speakers higher than your ears by about 27-9/16

– 39-3/8 inchs (70cm–1m). Also place the speakers

at the same height, as best as possible.

27-9/16 39-3/8 inchs

(70cm 1m)

Note:

• Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left,

right and the center speakers when the speakers are

installed near the TV.

VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT JACKS

There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.

VIDEO jack

The video signal for the VIDEO jacks is the

conventional composite video signal.

S-VIDEO jack

The video signal is separated into luminance (Y) and

color (C) signals for the S-VIDEO jack.The S-VIDEO

signals enables high-quality color reproduction.

Connect the S-VIDEO output jack on your video

component to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.

Component jack

Make component video connections to a TV or

monitor with component inputs to produce higher

quality video images. Use a component video cable

or 3 video cords to connect the component video out

jacks on the unit to the monitor.

Notes:

•

Be sure to connect the left and right audio channels

properly.

Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and

white connectors are the for L (left) channel.

• Be sure to connect the inputs and outputs of the

video signals properly.

•

If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal to

the S-VIDEO or component jack on this unit, it is not

necessary to connect the conventional video signal to

the VIDEO (composite) jack. If you use both video

inputs, this unit gives priority to the S-VIDEO signal.

• Each type of video jack works independently.

Signals input to the VIDEO (composite) and S-

VIDEO jacks or component are output to the

corresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO

or component jacks, respectively.

•

T

his unit

has the “TV-AUTO ON/OFF” function to

turn the TV ON or OFF automatically, by sensing the

incoming video signal from the VIDEO jacks.

• You may need to setup the digital audio output

format of your DVD player, or other digital source

components. Refer to the instructions of the each

component connected to the digital input jacks.

• There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Use an

external RF demodulator with a Dolby Digital

decoder to connect the Dolby Digital RF output jack

of the DVD player to the digital input jack on this

unit.

• The COMPONENT OUTPUT 1 and 2 terminals of

this unit can output the same video signal. Moreover,

the OUTPUT 2 terminal of the unit can output video

signals for zone playback. (See page 34)

HDMI JACK

This unit has four HDMI inputs and two HDMI output.

It can send digital video and audio signals from DVDs

and other sources directly to a display. It minimizes

signal degradation caused by analog conversion so

that high quality images can be enjoyed.

This unit is also capable of converting analog video

signals (Composite Video, S-Video, Component

Video) for HDMI output.

Select an input source from the OSD menu system.

(See page 24)

Notes:

• When the HDMI output is connected to a display

monitor that does not support HDCP, signals are not

output. To view images in HDMI, it is necessary to

connect to a display that supports HDCP.

• There may be no image output if connected to a

TV or display that is not compatible with the above

format.

• Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or display

to be connected to the unit for detailed information

regarding the HDMI terminal.

* HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

CONNECTING HDMI COMPONENTS

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is used to connect

the HDMI jack on the unit with the HDMI jack on a DVD

player, TV, projector or other component. To transmit

multichannel audio via HDMI, the connected player

must support multichannel audio transmission through

its HDMI jack.

HDMI video streaming is compatible with DVI in

principle. Therefore, it is possible to connect to a TV

or monitor that has a DVI terminal using an HDMI-DVI

conversion cable or plug. When connecting to a DVI

terminal, connect the audio signal separately.

Notes:

• Some HDMI components can be controlled over

the HDMI cable, but this unit cannot control other

components this way.

• When connected to a monitor (i.e., TV, projector,

etc.) that does not support HDCP, video and audio

are not output.

DVD player VIDEO PROJECTOR

• Some source devices such as DVD players or set

top box do not support HDMI repeater operations

like those of the unit. In such case, pictures are not

properly projected on monitors such as TVs and

projectors.

• When multiple components are connected to this

unit, turn power to unused components off to

prevent interference between them.

• Disconnecting or connecting cables with the power

on can damage the equipment. Turn the power off

before disconnecting or connecting cables.

• Some DVD-Audio disks disable downmixing.

These types of disks are not played back correctly

unless the left, center, right and surround left and

right speakers, and subwoofer are connected.

• If a DVD player that does not support HDMI 1.1 or

later is connected to the unit, multi channel PCM

playback is not possible even with DVD-Audio

disks.

• If an Super Audio CD player that does not support

HDMI 1.2 or later is connected to the unit, DSD

playback is not possible even with Super Audio

CD.

(*DSD: Direct Stream Digital)

• The following functions are not available when the

unit is connected to equipment that does not support

HDMI 1.3a.

• Deep Color

• x.v.Color

• Auto Lipsync

• Bitstream audio signal decoding, as for Dolby

Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and so on

For details, refer to the user’s manuals of connected

equipment.

• If a DVD player or other device with DVI output is

connectedtotheunit, a separate audio cable (optical-

digital, coaxial digital or analog) is needed for the

audio signals. In this case, select the connected audio

input as explained in “1-1 FUNC INPUT SETUP”.

(See page 24)

• Multi channel PCM signals and audio signals of 64

kHz or higher that are input from the HDMI jack are

not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

• Depending on the quiality of the cable used, the

HDMI signal may be affected by noise.

CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROL JACKS

DVD player

MM8003

q

You can control other Marantz products through this

unit with the remote controller by connecting the

REMOTE CONTROL terminals on each unit.

The signal transmitted from the remote controller

is received by the remote sensor on this unit. Then

the signal is sent to the connected device through

this terminal. Therefore you need to aim the remote

control only at the unit. Also, if a Marantz power

ampliﬁer (some models excluded) is connected to

one of these terminals, the power ampliﬁer’s, power

switch is synchronized with this unit’s power switch.

To make REMOTE CONTROL connections with

an MM8003, set P.AMPLINK to ENABLE. To make

REMOTE CONTROL connections with another

power amp, set P.AMPLINK to DISABLE. (See page

35)

Set the REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH on the back of

other units (not the AV8003) to “EXT.” (EXTERNAL) to

use this feature.
