8CH POWER AMPLIFIER MM8003

POWER ON/OFF

STANDBY

FEATURES

This 8-channel power ampliﬁ er comes with upgraded functions and supports the latest format of surround sound without compromising the design technology of Marantz's ﬂ agship models.

Current feedback type of discrete power ampliﬁ er with high sound quality

The MM8003 features in all 8 channels the current feedback type of power ampliﬁ er, which uses the complementary push-pull circuitry incorporated in Marantz's SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Amplifier. This improves the model's operating stability and enables it to achieve high-density, high-speed sound reproduction across a wide sound range. In the rear section the power ampliﬁ er is a current/ voltage conversion amplifier unit that employs a Wilson current mirror circuit for amplifying sound up to the treble range at low distortion levels.

Improved instantaneous current supply capability

In the rear section of the power amplifier is the LAPT (high-performance power transistor), which is featured in Marantz's model SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Ampliﬁ er. This device improves the instantaneous current supply capability. Copper bus bars are featured in the unit that supplies the power to each channel. The power supply unit has a large toroidal transformer that delivers low levels of noise and leakage ﬂ ux thanks to its internal structural features such as its laminated core, silicon steel-plated core ring,etc., and the use of its shielded casing. Original Marantz parts with a combined capacitance of 100,000 µF (50,000µF/71V × 2), which have been specially crafted to achieve the maximum in terms of sound quality, are employed in the block capacitor, a key component of the power supply unit. Thanks to the improvements in the current supply capability of these parts, you can enjoy high-powered sound brimming with ambiance.

High-sound-quality design based on the pure surround concept

A chimney-type heat sink and extremely quiet cooling fan deal with the heat that is discharged from the 8-channel ampliﬁ er to a high degree of efﬁ ciency. A high-precision temperature sensor IC is used to adjust the rotational speed of the cooling fan in response to the changes in the amount of heat generated by the ampliﬁ er. These features together make for lavish speciﬁ cations well suited to the ampliﬁ er's use in high-end theater systems, which are engineered to ensure virtually noiseless operation. The ampliﬁ er's chassis is copper-plated to protect the analog audio circuitry from high-frequency noise. This is an important technological aspect for reproducing sound without compromising the delicately nuanced sound ﬁ elds of Super Audio. In addition, top-of-the-line audio capacitors, film capacitors and other high-quality components are used to achieve a high-sound-quality design.

BALANCED/UNBALANCED switching function

This function makes it possible to select BALANCED or UNBALANCED input each channel depending on the application.

Remote power control

By connecting the amplifier to Marantz's model AV8003 AV pre-tuner, the ampliﬁ er's power can be switched on or off in tandem with the power on/off operation of the AV8003 using the remote power control function. A ﬂ oating ground connection that doesn’t form a ground loop is used for the connection with the AV8003 so the sound quality is not adversely affected.

Other functions

Also provided are an IR ﬂ asher input connector to support customized installation, and DC trigger input connector and output connectors.

BEFORE USE

This section must be read before any connection is made to the mains supply.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product has been prepared to comply with the household power and safety requirements that exist in your area. MM8003 can be powered by 230V AC only.

AV8003 CONNECTIONS

The connection example given below shows the connections between the ampliﬁ er and AV8003 AV pre-tuner for basic sound reproduction through 7 channels. When using the BALANCED inputs, use the XLR audio cables; when using the UNBALANCED inputs, use the RCA audio cables. Connect the PRE OUT connectors on the control ampliﬁ er to the input connectors on this ampliﬁ er. Use this connection example as a reference when a control ampliﬁ er other than the AV8003 is to be used.

Notes:

• Do not connect the power cables of this ampliﬁ er and other components to the AC outlet until all the connections have been completed.

• Insert the plugs on the connecting cables ﬁ rmly into the connectors. Noise may be caused by improper connections.

• For details on the components connected to this ampliﬁ er, refer to the operating instructions of each component.

Notes:

• Speakers come with "+" and "-" terminals. When connecting the speakers to the ampliﬁ er, connect their "+" terminals to the "+" connectors on the ampliﬁ er and, similarly, connect their "-" terminals to the "-" connectors. If a "+" terminal is connected to a "-" connector, the signal phase will be reversed, and the music played through the speakers will sound unnatural. Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers, and properly reconnect the speakers.

• Connect speaker systems with an impedance of at least 6 Ω to the ampliﬁ er. If speakers with an impedance of under 6 Ω are used and sound is played at high volume levels for prolonged periods, the ampliﬁ er may experience an extreme rise in temperature, tripping the protection circuit.

• If the AV8003 AV pre-tuner is connected to the ampliﬁ er and one surround back speaker is to be used, connect the speaker to the surround back left channel (SBL).

If this is the case, the setting must be performed on the AV8003. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the

AV8003.) When using a control ampliﬁ er other than the AV8003, follow the operating instructions of the ampliﬁ er used, and connect the speaker properly.

TIPS ON SPEAKER PLACEMENT

How the speakers should be placed depends on the room size and other factors. An example of how the speakers are normally placed and some placement tips are given here.

Surround R

Front R

Front

Center

Front L

• Front left and right speakers

It is recommended that the front left and right speakers be positioned at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees from each other as viewed from the listening position.

• Center speaker

This speaker is placed so that its front panel is in line with the front panels of the front left and right speakers or slightly behind them.

Height at which to place the front left and right speakers and center speaker

Place the three front speakers (left, right and center) so that their mid-range and high-range units will be positioned at more or less the same height from the ﬂ oor as much as possible.

Surround L

Surround

Back R

Surround

Back L

• Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are needed to play surround sound. Place them against the walls in line with the listening position or slightly behind it. Position them so that the center of the speaker front panels point toward the center the room.

• Surround back left and right speakers

Place these speakers behind the listening position as shown in the ﬁ gure.

Height at which to place the surround left and right speakers and surround back left and right speakers

Place these speakers at a height of 70 cm to 1 meter above the listener. By placing the speakers at this height, the sound source will not be localized at any speciﬁ c position, and the listener will feel more surrounded and enveloped by the sound.

POWER CABLE CONNECTION

Connect the power cable after all the connections have been completed.

Plug the accessory power cable into the AC IN

1.

socket on the rear panel of the ampliﬁ er.

2. Connect the plug on the power cable to the wall socket (AC 230 V, 50 Hz).

* Ensure that the total power consumption of the

ampliﬁ er and other components connected to the socket does not exceed the capacity of the socket.

Notes:

• Insert the power plug ﬁ rmly. Noise may be caused by an incomplete connection.

• Do not connect the ampliﬁ er to the AC outlet of another product. Product malfunctioning may occur if the capacity of the AC outlet is exceeded.

BI-AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS

Four channels of this unit's power ampliﬁ ers are used to achieve bi-ampliﬁ er connections to the front speaker systems. Before connecting the speaker systems, check that they support bi-ampliﬁ er connections.

What are "bi-ampliﬁ er connections"?

This is a technique for enhancing sound quality, and it involves connecting separate power ampliﬁ ers to the bass and mid-range/treble speakers. By adopting this technique, interference in the mid-range and treble sound caused by the back electromotive force generated by the bass speaker unit can be minimized, improving the sound that can be delivered through

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you believe something is wrong with your ampliﬁ er, check the following points. Unintentional errors in operation or mistakes made in the connections are sometimes misinterpreted as failure. If the failure persists even after checking the below points, contact your dealer, your nearest Marantz Consumer Marketing ofﬁ ce or customer center, or a Marantz service center.

Symptom Cause Remedy

The amplifier's power fails to come on.

No sound can be heard from the speakers.

The power suddenly goes off, and the standby indicator blinks slowly (about two times a second).

The power plug is not connected. Insert the power plug into the wall

The connecting cables (input) or speaker cables have been incorrectly connected.

The setting of one or more of the input selector switches does not correspond to the input connector (BALANCED or UNBALANCED) to which the cable has been connected.

The temperature inside the ampliﬁ er has risen, tripping the protection circuit.

• Check whether the ampliﬁ er has

The power suddenly goes off, and the standby indicator blinks rapidly (about eight times a second).

The protection circuit has been tripped because two conductors ("+" and "-") of a speaker cable are touching each other or because the conductors have made contact with the rear panel or another metal part.

Sound is being played at a volume higher than the performance of the ampliﬁ er can deliver.

Speakers with an impedance below the speciﬁ ed rating (6 Ω) are being used.

The amplifier's protection circuit has been tripped.
