To ensure long-lasting use and proper operation, do not locate the SR7001/SR8001 where it is:

• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Near sources of heat such as heaters.
• In highly humid or poorly ventilated environments.
• Dusty.
• Subjected to mechanical vibrations.
• On wobbly, inclined or otherwise unstable surfaces.
• In locations such as in cramped audio racks where radiated heat is blocked. To ensure proper heat radiation, ensure the following minimum clearances from walls and other equipment:
  • Above: 8 inches (20 cm) or more
  • Left: 8 inches (20 cm) or more
  • Right: 8 inches (20 cm) or more
  • Rear: 8 inches (20 cm) or more

Audyssey MultEQ is a room correction technology designed to overcome acoustical problems in a listening room caused by reflections and standing waves. It measures how each loudspeaker interacts with the room at multiple locations (up to 6) using the included microphone. It then applies correction filters that minimize these acoustical effects for a wide listening area, matched to human perception (psychoacoustics). MultEQ correction is applied in both frequency and time domains to avoid artifacts. During the automated setup process, Audyssey MultEQ also:

• Identifies connected loudspeakers.
• Determines if they are full-range, satellites, or subwoofers.
• Calculates the optimal crossover frequency if a subwoofer is present.
• Checks speaker polarity and alerts if any are wired out-of-phase.
• Measures the distance to each speaker and adjusts delays for synchronized arrival time.
• Determines and adjusts the playback level (volume trim) for each speaker.

When the front auxiliary video/audio input jacks (AUX1) are not in use, you can protect them with the included jack covers. Align the cover with the jacks and gently push it into place.

• Front Left and Right Speakers: Place them equidistant from the listening position, forming a 45-60 degree angle with the listener. Align their front baffles with the center speaker if possible, or slightly behind it.
• Center Speaker: Place directly in front of the listening position, typically above or below the display. Align its front baffle with the front L/R speakers.
• Surround Left and Right Speakers: Place on the side walls, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room. Position them higher than ear level (approx. 70cm – 1m or 2-3 ft above).
• Surround Back Left and Right Speakers (for 7.1): Place on the rear wall, behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room. Position them at the same height as the surround L/R speakers.
• Subwoofer: Placement is flexible due to the non-directional nature of low frequencies. Experiment for best bass response in your room.

Ensure tweeters and mid-range drivers of the front three speakers are at a similar height. Use magnetically-shielded front speakers if placed near a CRT TV.

1. Strip off approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of the speaker wire. 2. Twist the bare wire strands tightly together to prevent stray strands from causing short circuits. 3. Loosen the speaker terminal knob on the receiver by turning it counterclockwise. 4. Insert the bare wire fully into the hole on the side of the terminal post. 5. Tighten the knob by turning it clockwise to securely clamp the wire. Ensure you connect the positive (+) wire to the red terminal and the negative (-) wire to the black terminal on both the receiver and the speaker. Do not let bare wires touch each other or the receiver’s chassis. Do not connect more than one wire per terminal.

Use standard RCA audio cables.

• Playback devices (CD Player, etc.): Connect the device’s LINE OUT or AUDIO OUT jacks to the corresponding input jacks on the receiver (e.g., CD IN, DVD IN Audio, AUX1 IN Audio, AUX2 IN). Match Left (L, usually white) to Left and Right (R, usually red) to Right.
• Recording devices (CD Recorder, Tape Deck):
  • Connect the device’s LINE IN or RECORD jacks to the receiver’s REC OUT or TAPE OUT jacks (e.g., TAPE OUT, CD/CDR OUT).
  • Connect the device’s LINE OUT or PLAYBACK jacks to the receiver’s PLAY IN or TAPE IN jacks (e.g., TAPE IN, CD/CDR IN).
• Digital Audio: Use optical (Toslink) or coaxial digital cables. Connect the digital output of your source device (DVD, CD, etc.) to a corresponding DIGITAL IN jack on the receiver (DIG 1-3 are optical, DIG 4-6 are coaxial). Connect the DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial or Optical) jacks to a digital recorder’s input if needed. Assign these digital inputs to source names in the INPUT SETUP menu.
• Subwoofer: Connect the receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to the LINE IN or LFE IN jack on your powered subwoofer using an RCA cable. If using a passive subwoofer, connect the PRE OUT to a separate power amplifier, and connect the amplifier’s output to the subwoofer.

Insert all plugs securely. Do not bundle audio cables with power cords.

Use HDMI cables (sold separately) to connect the HDMI OUT jack of your source device (DVD player, Blu-ray player, satellite box, etc.) to one of the HDMI IN jacks (1-4) on the receiver. Connect the HDMI OUT jack on the receiver to the HDMI IN jack on your TV or projector. (SR8001 has two HDMI outputs). **Notes:** * Both the receiver and the connected display must support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) for video to appear. * Ensure your TV/display is compatible with the video format being sent. * To transmit multichannel audio (like Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD DSD, DVD-Audio PCM) over HDMI, the source player must support HDMI audio output for those formats (HDMI v1.1 for DVD-Audio/PCM, v1.2 for SACD DSD). * If connecting a DVI display, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. Audio must be connected separately using digital or analog connections, as DVI does not carry audio. Assign the separate audio input in the INPUT SETUP menu. * Turn off components before connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables.

Choose the highest quality connection type supported by both your source device and the receiver/display.

• Component Video: Use three RCA cables (usually Red, Green, Blue). Connect the Component Video OUT jacks (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) of your source (DVD, etc.) to a Component Video IN set on the receiver. Connect the Component Video MONITOR OUT jacks on the receiver to the Component Video IN jacks on your TV/projector. (The SR7001 has 4 inputs and 2 outputs).
• S-Video: Use S-Video cables. Connect the S-Video OUT jack of your source to an S-Video IN jack on the receiver. Connect the S-Video MONITOR OUT jack on the receiver to the S-Video IN jack on your TV/projector.
• Composite Video: Use a single RCA cable (usually yellow). Connect the Composite Video OUT jack of your source to a Composite Video IN jack on the receiver. Connect the Composite Video MONITOR OUT jack on the receiver to the Composite Video IN jack on your TV/projector.

Connect the corresponding audio cables (analog or digital) for each video source. The receiver can convert between analog video types and output via HDMI (see Video Convert settings).

Use RCA cables to connect the multichannel analog outputs from a device like an SACD player, DVD-Audio player, or external decoder to the 7.1CH INPUT jacks on the receiver. Match the channel outputs (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, Subwoofer) to the corresponding inputs. Press the 7.1CH INPUT button on the front panel or remote to select this input. You can adjust the relative levels of these inputs in the “7.1 CH INPUT SETUP” menu.

Use RCA cables to connect the PREAMP OUTPUTS (L, R, SL, SR, SBL, SBR, C, SUBWOOFER) on the receiver to the inputs of your external power amplifier(s). Connect the speakers directly to the outputs of the external amplifier(s). This bypasses the receiver’s internal amplifiers for the connected channels.

Connect the REMOTE CONTROL IN jack on the receiver to the REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of another Marantz component using an RC-5 cable (mono mini-plug). Connect the REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack on the receiver to the REMOTE CONTROL IN jack of another Marantz component. This allows you to control multiple Marantz components by pointing the remote only at the receiver. Set the REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH on the connected components (not the SR7001/SR8001) to “EXT.” (external).

If you connect an external IR receiver or control system to the RC-5 IN or FLASHER IN jacks: 1. Press and hold the MULTI button and the MENU button on the receiver’s front panel simultaneously for five seconds. 2. The display will show “IR=ENABLE”. 3. Press the front panel CURSOR buttons (◄ or ►) to change the setting to “IR=DISABLE”. 4. Press the front panel ENTER button to confirm. The front panel sensor is now disabled. To re-enable the sensor, repeat the steps and select “IR=ENABLE”. Ensure the sensor is enabled if no external IR system is connected.

• FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor FM wire antenna to the FM 75 ohms coaxial terminal. Extend the wire and position it for the clearest reception. For better reception, connect an outdoor FM antenna or cable FM feed to this terminal.
• AM Antenna: Assemble the supplied AM loop antenna by bending the base and inserting the loop into the slot. Connect the two bare wire ends to the AM antenna spring terminals (push lever, insert wire, release lever). Connect the black shielded wire to the GND (Ground) terminal next to the AM terminals. Position the loop antenna away from the receiver and other electronics for the best reception. An outdoor AM antenna can also be connected.

Plug the XM Connect-and-Play antenna or Passport system (sold separately) into the XM terminal on the receiver’s rear panel. Position the XM antenna near a south-facing window for the best signal reception. Follow the instructions included with your XM antenna/system. You will need an XM subscription to receive the service.

The terminals labeled MULTI SPEAKER / SPEAKER C (Right and Left) can be used for either a pair of speakers in a second zone (Multi Room) or as Speaker C outputs driven by the surround back amplifier channels for bi-amping or bi-wiring the main front speakers.

• Multi-Room Speakers: Connect the speakers in the second zone to these terminals. Activate multi-room audio via the front panel MULTI button or the OSD menu.
• Speaker C (Bi-wire/Bi-amp):
  • Set the SPEAKER C switch on the rear panel to ON. This reassigns the surround back amplifier channels to these outputs.
  • For Bi-wiring: Connect these terminals to the high-frequency inputs of your main front speakers, and connect the regular FRONT A speaker terminals to the low-frequency inputs of the same speakers. Remove any jumper bars on the speaker terminals.
  • For Bi-amping: Connect these terminals to the high-frequency inputs, and the FRONT A terminals to the low-frequency inputs, assuming your speakers support bi-amping and you desire this configuration. Remove any jumper bars on the speaker terminals.

You cannot use surround back speakers simultaneously when the SPEAKER C switch is set to ON. Turn the receiver off before changing the SPEAKER C switch setting.

Connect the DC OUT (DC TRIGGER) terminal(s) to the trigger input of another device (e.g., power amplifier, projection screen). Use the “DC TRIGGER SETUP” menu in the OSD to configure when the 12V signal is sent based on main room or multi-room status and selected input source. This output provides a control signal only, not enough power to drive devices directly.

Connect the control signal output from an external keypad or control system to the FLASHER IN terminal. This allows the receiver to be controlled by the external system, often used in multi-room installations.

Connect a compatible external IR receiver eye to the IR RECEIVER IN terminal. This allows the receiver to pick up remote control commands from a location other than the front panel sensor, useful if the receiver is hidden in a cabinet. Ensure the external IR receiver is compatible (+12V, GND, Signal). You should disable the front panel IR sensor when using an external one (see “How do I disable the receiver’s front panel IR sensor…”).

Connect an IR emitter (flasher) to the EMITTER OUT terminal. Place the emitter end over the IR sensor of another component you want to control via the SR8001’s IR inputs (either the front sensor, IR RECEIVER IN, or FLASHER IN). Signals received by the SR8001 will be re-transmitted out through this terminal to control the connected component.

MIC SET ERROR!!	The microphone is not properly connected.	Connect the included microphone securely. Check the microphone connection.
NOISE ERROR!!	There is too much noise in the listening room to measure properly. Volume from the speakers is low.	During measurement, turn off devices that make noise such as air conditioners, fans etc. Measure at a time when the surrounding area is quiet.
ANALYZE ERROR!!	The speakers required for suitable playback were not detected. Speaker polarity is connected backwards. Incorrect speaker connections (e.g., surround back connected but surround is not, or only one surround back speaker connected to R channel). (Detail screen shows specific issues like [REV] for reversed polarity, [NON] for not detected, [ERR] for configuration errors.)	Check the speaker indicated as having reversed polarity ([REV]). (Note: [REV] can sometimes appear even if wired correctly; ignore if confident in wiring). Check speaker direction and layout. Ensure speakers are connected to the correct terminals. Ensure speakers are functioning.

Navigate to SETUP -> 2. SPKR SETUP -> MANUAL SETUP. This menu has three parts: Speaker Size, Speaker Distance, and Speaker Level. Use NEXT/BACK to move between them. **1. Speaker Size:**

• Select a speaker parameter (e.g., FRONT, CENTER, SUB W) using Cursor ▲/▼.
• Select the size or setting using Cursor ◄/►.
  • **THX SPKR:** YES (if using a certified THX system, sets sizes/crossover automatically) / NO.
  • **SUB W:** YES / NO (Select NO if no subwoofer connected).
  • **FRONT:** LARGE / SMALL (Select LARGE if speakers handle full frequency range, SMALL if bass should go to subwoofer). Fixed to LARGE if SUB W is NO.
  • **CENTER:** LARGE / SMALL / NONE (Select NONE if no center speaker).
  • **SURR:** LARGE / SMALL / NONE (Select NONE if no surround speakers).
  • **SURR. B:** 2CH / 1CH / NONE (Select number of surround back speakers). Fixed to NONE if SURR is NONE.
  • **SURR. BACK SIZE:** LARGE / SMALL (Size of surround back speakers). Not available if SURR B is NONE.
  • **LPF/HPF:** Select crossover frequency (60Hz – 180Hz) for speakers set to SMALL. Bass below this frequency goes to the subwoofer (LPF) and is filtered out of the small speakers (HPF). Typically 80Hz is a good starting point. THX recommends 80Hz.
  • **BASS MIX:** BOTH / MIX (Only affects 2ch PCM/Analog with FRONT=LARGE and SUB W=YES). BOTH sends bass to Front L/R and Subwoofer. MIX sends bass only to Front L/R. THX recommends MIX. LFE signals always go to the subwoofer.

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing Dolby Digital encoded software, you might see a brief message like “Dial Norm +4 dB” on the display. This indicates the source material was recorded at a level different from usual. In this example (+4 dB), the material is 4 dB louder than usual. To maintain a consistent overall output level, you should turn down the volume control by 4 dB. If no message appears, no volume adjustment is necessary for normalization purposes.

Analog Video Conversion: The SR7001 can convert between different analog video signal types (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO) for monitor output. This allows viewing regardless of the connection type between the playback device and the SR7001, using a single higher-grade cable (like Component or HDMI) from the SR7001’s MONITOR OUT to the display.

Up-Conversion from Analog Video to HDMI: The SR7001 can convert input analog video signals (Component: 480i/576i, 480p/576P, 1080i, 720p; S-Video/Composite: 480i/576i) to the HDMI MONITOR output terminal.

Notes:

• HDMI video input is only output via the HDMI MONITOR OUT.
• Video conversion is unavailable for REC out.
• Video conversion is unavailable for still picture, fast forward, and reverse play on video component input.
• If sync issues (“NO SIGNAL” or noise) occur, equipment incompatibility might be the cause. Set “VIDEO CONVERT” in the “VIDEO SETUP” menu to “DISABLE” and connect video signals directly or via appropriate MONITOR OUT terminals.
• If the video convert feature doesn’t detect some signals correctly, set “VIDEO CONVERT” to “DISABLE”.
• For optimal performance, THX recommends setting “VIDEO CONVERT” to “DISABLE”.
• Limitations apply based on input resolution for Component, S-Video, and Video signals regarding HDMI output. Refer to the connection examples and notes in the PDF.
• HDMI signal input is not output from Component, Video, or S-Video MONITOR OUT terminals.

I/P Convert: The SR7001 can convert 480i/576i analog video signals (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT) to 480p/576p progressive signals for output via the COMPONENT VIDEO or HDMI MONITOR OUT terminals. (See page 35 for settings).

OSD Menu System:

• The setup menu can be displayed via all video out terminals (HDMI, COMPONENT, SVIDEO, VIDEO).
• OSD information (like volume changes) is output only to VIDEO and S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminals, unless video conversion is active, in which case it can also be output over COMPONENT or HDMI depending on the setup.

Press the MUTE button on the remote control to silence all speaker and headphone outputs. “MUTE” will show on the display. This does not affect recording or dubbing. Press the MUTE button again to restore sound.

Refer to the tables on pages 44-45 for detailed input signal decoding and channel output information for each mode.

• DTS:
  • Ensure your connected player supports DTS digital output. Some players may process the signal (level, frequency), preventing the SR7001 from recognizing it as DTS.
  • A short noise might occur during DTS playback depending on the player; this is not a malfunction.
  • While playing DTS, you cannot switch input modes (digital/analog) via the INPUT SETUP menu or A/D button.
  • DTS cannot be listened to in a multiroom setup.
  • Do not record DTS signals from analog outputs (VCR OUT, TAPE OUT, etc.) as this will record noise.
• Dolby Digital Surround EX:
  • The EX/ES mode must be set when playing 6.1 channel EX-encoded software.
  • Some EX software lacks the identification signal; manually set EX/ES mode in this case.
• 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM:
  • Use AUTO, Pure Direct, or Stereo modes for playback.
  • Some DVD players inhibit digital output for high-resolution audio; check the player’s manual.
  • Copy protection on some DVD discs may prevent 96 kHz PCM output; check the player’s manual.
• HDCD:
  • HDCD decoding is effective only through digital input.
  • Some CD players might process the digital signal, preventing the SR7001 from recognizing it as HDCD data, even with a digital connection.

This function allows a component connected to the TV-VIDEO input jack (like a TV tuner) to control the power of the SR7001.
