PRECAUTIONS IN CONNECTION
nBe sure to unplug the power cable from the AC outlet or turn
off the POWER/STANDBY switch before proceeding with any
connection.
nConnect one cable at a time observing the “input” and
“output”.
This will avoid any cross connection between channels and
signal inputs and outputs.
nInsert the plugs securely. Incomplete connection may result in
noise.
nPrior to connecting other audio and video equipment to the
SR-14mkII, please read their owner’s manuals.
INSTALLATION
If this unit or another electronic device incorporating a
microcomputer is used at the same time with the tuner or television,
picture disturbance or noise may occur. In such a case, install the
unit according to the following guide points.
nSeparate the unit as far as possible from the tuner or
television.
nPlace the antenna wire for the tuner or TV apart from the
power cable and audio and video connection cables of this
unit.
nSince the phenomenon is likely to occur when using an
indoor antenna and/or 300-ohm feeder wire, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna and 75-ohm coaxial
cable.
FOREWORD
This section must be read before any connection is made to the
mains supply.
WARNINGS
Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
Do not remove the cover from the equipment.
Do not push anything inside the equipment through the
ventilation holes.
Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands.
EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product has been prepared to comply with the
household power and safety requirements that exist in your area.
SR-14mkII can be powered by 230 V AC only.
IMPORTANT:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 13A, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut
off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 13A. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5A.
Note:
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-
ing code:
BLUE—“NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN—“LIVE” (“L”)
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Marantz SR-14mkII 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-14mkII. 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.
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.
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-14mkII 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.
The Marantz SR-14mkII 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.

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
http ://www.dolby.com.

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

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.

®
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-14mkII 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
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.
