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.

— the ventilation holes are not covered
— air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment
— it is on a vibration free surface
— it will not be exposed to interference from an external source
— 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 body or water does enter the equipment, contact your

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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLE SHOOTING

This section describes the care and maintenance tasks that must
be performed to optimize the operation of your Marantz equipment.

English

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL SURFACES

The exterior finish of your PM4200 will last indefinitely with proper
care and cleaning. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring
powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g., lye solution), alcohol,
thinners, benzine, insecticide or other volatile substances as
these will mar the finish of the equipment. Likewise, never use
cloths containing chemical substances. If the equipment gets
dirty. wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the equipment becomes heavily soiled:
— dilute some washing up liquid in water, in a ratio of one part

detergent to six parts water

— dip a soft, lint free in the solution and wring the cloth out until
