Notes about the discs

* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch their

surfaces.

* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.

When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be sure to use
the special cleaner and wipe the surfaces in the directions
shown in the figure below.

• Wipe the surface radially
from the center.

* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the label

surfaces of the discs.

When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label
with paste protruding from the edge or when a disc still bears
traces of sticky tape or adhesive labels, do not attempt to
play it. If such a disc is played on the CD player, you may
find that you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.

• Do not wipe the surface in
the circumferential direction.

Inappropriate places for installation

To keep your player in perfect working order for the longest
possible time, avoid installing the player in the following
locations.

• Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight

• Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating
appliance

• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor

• Wherever it is very dusty

• Wherever it will be subject to vibration

• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location which
is tilted at an angle

• On top of an amplifier or other component which dissipates
a great deal of heat

• In an audio rack with little space at the top and bottom or
other location where the heat dissipation will be obstructed
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player while
leaving clearances between the player and wall or other
components, as shown in the figure below.

10 cm or more

2 cm or more

10 cm or more

* Do not use discs which come in special shapes.

Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal discs or
discs with any other special shapes. You may find that you
cannot remove them or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur in the player.

* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such as those

with the “CD logo”, “

” or “

” mark on their disc

label surfaces.

No guarantees are made for playback if discs which do not
satisfy the appropriate CD standards are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound quality
even if it is possible to play such discs.

* To protect your discs from damage, avoid placing them

in the following locations.

• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or where
they will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating
appliance

• Where the humidity level is high or it is very dusty

• Near a window or other such location where they may be
exposed to rain

* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in their cases

after use.

ENGLISH

BEFORE USING

Do not place objects on top

• Refrain from placing any objects on top of the player.

Cautions on handling power cord

• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

• When disconnecting the power cord, always make sure

that you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or bending the
cord can damage it and/or cause electric shocks or a fire.

• Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug before
leaving home.

Do not attempt repairs yourself

• Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can cause
malfunctioning.

• Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise are
authorized to repair the pick-up and parts inside the player.

Precautions

Cautions on handling batteries

Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte leakage,
rupturing, corrosion, etc.

Bear in mind the following points when using batteries.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if the
unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period (a month
or more).

• Do not use an old battery together with a new one.

• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their ª and · poles

are properly aligned with the corresponding markings on
the remote control unit.

• Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages.
Do not use different types of batteries together.

• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the
battery compartment, and then insert new batteries.

• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the
windows of a heated room: this is called condensation.
This CD player uses an optical lens, so the condensation
may form in the following cases.

- In a room immediately after the heating has been turned

on

- In a room where the humidity level is high

- When the player has been suddenly brought from a cold

location into a warm room

Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be
read and the player is prevented from operating properly,
wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.

• This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If
this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV
set.

• Compact discs have much less noise than analog records
and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in
mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier
is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio
components.

• This player is designed to play music CDs only. It cannot
play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs,
video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).

3. FEATURES

• CS4392 high-performance D/A converter made by

Cirrus Logic used

The CS4392 D/A converter whose CD playback circuitry
has the same design as the CS4396 D/A converter, which
was also made by Cirrus Logic and which has proved to
be a valuable asset for the Marantz CD player, has been
adopted.
During CD play, the PCM signals recorded on the disc are
oversampled to 128fs inside the D/A converter and then
processed by a combination of the dynamic element
matching (DEM) and multi-element switched capacitors
to achieve playback characterized by a high linearity.
This new CD playback technology opens the door to new
dimensions in high-sound-quality CD play.

• Display OFF function incorporated

The “display OFF” function enables the main unit display
to be turned off. By turning off this display, the pulsive
noise generated from the display is reduced, thus
eliminating its effects on the music signals.

• Pitch control function

The “pitch control” function enables the play speed (pitch)
to be varied over a ± 12 step. This feature is particularly
useful for musical instrument practice sessions.

• Quick replay function

By a single-action operation, the “quick replay” function
enables play to be moved back from the current play
position for 10 seconds and play to be resumed.
This function makes it possible to return to a part of the
track that was just played so it can be heard again.

• CD-TEXT display supported

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Peak search (searching for the

loudest passage)

If the cassette deck recording level is adjusted in relation to
the peak level on the disc, it is possible to avoid distortion
and noise in recording. This facility allows the peak over the
entire disc or in the programmed to be detected tracks before
proceeding to editing.

1. Press the PEAK button on the player. "PEAK" will light up

and the peak search operation will begin from the first
passage on the disc. Searching may need a few minutes.

2. When peak search of the last passage is completed, play

will be repeated for approximately 6 seconds with the
volume at a comparatively high level. Adjust the record
level of the cassette deck. (Please see the instruction
manual for the cassette deck.)

This example shows that, when the tape recording time is
90 minutes, track 15 is the last track on tape side A and
track 28 the last track on tape side B. In other words, by
using a 90-minute tape, all of the 28 disc tracks can be
accommodated by assigning tracks 1 to 15 on tape side
A and tracks 16 to 28 on tape side B.

2. To change the tape recording time, specify the new tape

recording time using the ¢ or 4 button or the numeric
buttons (0 to 9).

• Use of ¢ and 4 buttons
Each press of the ¢ button allows you to change the
recording time in the order 90 → 46 → 54 → 60 → 74 → 90.
Each press of the 4 button allows you to change the
recording time in the order 90 → 74 → 60 → 54 → 46 → 90.
Each press of the ¡ button allows you to increase the
recording time by 1 minute.
Each press of the 1 button allows to decrease the
recording time by 1 minute.

• When numeric buttons are used to specify a C-46 tape,
for example, press 4 then 6.

Flashes.

3. Press the 7 button on the player or remote control unit to

stop the peak search operation.

Note:

As a CD may contain several peaks, a different peak may
be found every time the auto peak level search operation
is performed.

Editing (recording a disc on a tape)

When recording from a compact disc to a tape, use this
function to match the tape length to the playing time of the
tracks to be recorded and to create 4-second intervals
between the tracks.

• Simple edit

This operation fits tracks into a specified tape length while
keeping the tracks in their original order.

1. Press the EDIT button in stop mode to light up the EDIT

indicator.
(Example: When a disc with 28 tracks is loaded)

This display example shows that, with a 46-minute tape,
tracks 1 to 8 will be recorded onto tape side A and tracks
9 to 16 will be recorded onto tape side B.
The blinking arrow on the right end of the character display
shows that tracks 17 and after cannot be recorded on the
tape.

3. Press the EDIT button again and set the editing contents.

CD-TEXT

“CD-TEXT” refers to a new kind of music disc which differs
from a conventional music disc in that album titles, track titles
and other text information are recorded on it. CDs with the
following logos support this function.

The text information is recorded on those parts which were
not used by conventional music CDs.
This means that discs with recorded CD-TEXT can be played
in the same way as in the past on existing CD players but the
text information can be viewed only when they are played on
a player that supports CD-TEXT.
This player automatically identifies whether a disc supports
CD-TEXT, and it displays the information on the display.

This lights when the disc that has been read
is identified as supporting CD-TEXT.
