EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area.

IMPORTANT: (FOR UK VERSION ONLY)

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 5A,

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 5A. 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 following 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.

PRECAUTIONS

The following precautions should be taken when operating the equipment.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

When installing the equipment ensure that: – the ventilation holes are not covered.

– air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment. – it is placed on a vibration free surface. – it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold,

moisture or dust.

– it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. – it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges.

In addition, never place heavy objects on the equipment. If a foreign object or water does enter the equipment,

contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead; grasp

the plug. It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a

thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.

COMPACT DISCS

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back.

Unlike conventional turntables for playing analogue discs, the DH9300 Music Server reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analogue records.

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.

To protect the disc avoid placing it in the following locations:

– In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.

– In a place which is damp or dirty.

– In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as

near a window.

Always keep the surface of the disc clean.

Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner. Do not use a conventional record cleaner for analogue records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface.

Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.

Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of the disc.

When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is inserted into the Music Server it may cause extensive damage to the system. It may also be impossible to remove the disc.

Do not use a disc with a special shape.

Do not attempt to use a disc with a special shape such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. This may cause the system to malfunction.

DTS encoded discs

Caution - when playing DTS encoded CDs excessive noise

will be heard on the analogue outputs jacks of the Music Server. To avoid possible damage to the audio system you should ensure that the correct connections are made to your amplification system for replaying this type of disc.

CAUTION

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental regulations or environmental public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or area.

POWER BUTTON

When this button is pressed once, the power turns On and information will appear on the display. When pressed again, press the Off action key or the 3 key on the remote control to switch to Off mode.

When the unit is in Off mode the “Standby” indicator is lit; the apparatus is not disconnected from the AC mains supply in this mode.

Internet access for track listings

Your Music Server records the CDs from your music collection at faster than real time. It then automatically connects to a dedicated Internet CD database via the builtin modem or Ethernet connection. This database provides album and track details for a wide range of CDs. This information can be downloaded and stored with each CD you record, allowing you to select any item in your music collection by album name, artist name, track name, or genre, giving you total flexibility in the way you access and control your music collection.

Create your own playlists

Your Music Server allows you to compile personal playlists and then automatically play tracks from the playlist you have selected. Playlists let you customise your Music Server for each member of the family, or for matching the music to the occasion or mood.

Instant access, irrespective of your music collection

Whether you select a track by title, album, artist, or genre, your Music Server locates it instantly and plays it at the press of a key. All this is achieved with an extremely simple and intuitive user interface, operated using a few keys on the front panel or remote control.

If the volume setting is set to variable the output level can be altered at any time using the N and O Mute keys on the Music Server remote control. A Balance option is also available from the Volume Settings menu which allows you to adjust the left/right balance.

*Note: The Music Server remote control can be configured so that when the HDD Audio device is selected the N and O Mute keys operate the volume and mute controls on an amplifier. For more information see the chapter called Configuring your remote to control other devices p.11.

USING MUSIC SERVER IN A

MULTIROOM SYSTEM

The Music Server DH9300 is capable of playing different music in up to four rooms simultaneously. This chapter explains how the Music Server can be controlled from the remote room and how the TV interface has been designed to allow several users to access the music library.

BASIC CONFIGURATION

The rear panel of the Marantz Music Server has four Video Out connectors to allow up to four televisions to be

connected directly to the Music Server as well as four independent analogue audio outputs and four Remote In data connections.

The diagram below shows the Music Server in a basic multiroom configuration. The connections required are as follows:

• Video Out 1, 2, 3 & 4 are connected to the

composite input of a suitable television in each room.

Note: The same TV interface picture is distributed to all four televisions hence the order in which they are connected is not important.

• Analogue Audio 1, 2, 3 & 4 are each connected to

the stereo input of an amplifier.

Note: If one of the amplifiers has a digital input the Digital Audio Out (coaxial or optical) connector may be used in

preference to analogue output 1.

• Remote In 1, 2, 3, & 4 are connected to the

System Control connection of a suitable amplifier.

Note: The Marantz System Control connection allows

Marantz components to be linked together for integrated

remote operation. The System Control interface allows an amplifier to act as the remote control centre for an entire Marantz system; in this installation the System Control compatible amplifier acts as an infrared receiver for the remotely located Music Server.

REMOTE CONTROL USE IN A MULTIROOM SYSTEM

The multiroom Remote In connection allows the Music Server to determine which remote room is currently browsing the music library. For example if a user in room two presses a key on the Music Server remote control the TV user interface will automatically switch to the appropriate output for that room (by default this is output 2). In order to prevent users in other rooms from browsing the library, the TV interface control is given exclusively to the user in room two for a short period of time. This can be seen on the display below:

The number inside the circle indicates which remote currently has control of the TV interface. The bar to the right of this indicates how long the user has before the TV interface is available for other users to access. The number to the right of this indicates which output this user is currently controlling.

THE OUTPUT BUTTON Using the front panel output button

The output button on the front panel of the Music Server allows you to display information about the music you are currently listening to on each of the Music Server outputs. You can also use this key to control a different output of the Music Server using the keys on the front panel.

To change output on the Music Server

on the Music Server remote.

The following screen is displayed:

The output screen indicates what is playing on the currently selected output.

• Press the - Output key again to switch to the next

output.

• Once the required output number is displayed,

press the 2 Hide key to hide the output display.

Using the remote control output button

The - Output button on the Music Server remote control allows you to display information about the music you are currently listening to. If remote control information is sent to the remote sensor on the front of the Music Server or to the Remote In 1 connection this button may also be used to control a different output of the Music Server (as shown above).

If remote control information is sent to Remote In connections 2, 3 and 4 the output button will only display information about the music currently playing on outputs 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

Using the Default o/p button

If remote control information is sent to the remote sensor on the front of the Music Server or to the Remote In 1 connection the user interface may be controlling any one of the four Music Server outputs (indicated by the on-screen status icons). The default o/p button can then be used to quickly return both the front panel and the TV display to controlling output 1 with Library menu displayed.

MULTIROOM CONTROL SYSTEMS

Your Music Server is also compatible with a number of leading multiroom control systems. The Controller port on the rear of the system uses a versatile protocol called XiVA- Link which allows access to most of the Music Server functions remotely.

Please contact your nearest Marantz representative for the current list of supported multiroom control systems.
