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 The GREEN/YELLOW-GREEN wire must be

connected to the terminal 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 DH9500 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.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the DH9500 Music Server from Marantz. The DH9500 is a revolutionary way of filling your home with music.

Your Music Server stores and catalogues your music collection, allowing you to select any album or track at the press of a key. You can browse through your albums and tracks using convenient on-screen menus displayed on your television, showing full album, track, and artist names downloaded from the Gracenote CDDB Music Reconition Service. Your Music Server also lets you organise your music collection and create selections for different occasions to suit your mood.

Incredible capacity

Your Music Server is a hard disk based audio system which can store hundreds of hours of music, all with the convenience of instant access, at the touch of a key.

Convenient TV screen

Play music, record CDs, or organise your library using convenient on-screen menus which show the full album, artist, and track names, allowing you to select the one you want with a few simple selections.

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 the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service via the built-in 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.
