INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT FEATURES

This unit can playback the outstanding sound perf ormance in Super Audio CD. This unit has the following unique features.

• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-

speed HDAM SA2-type output amplifier with the differential input type HDAM.

• T ext information display function that can displa y

disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD.

• CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.

• Discs can be played using an external clock.

• Phase inversion of analog signal can be

performed.

APPLICABLE DISCS TO THE UNIT

1. Super Audio CD

The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology. This new direct-stream digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CD. The results are spectacular: a frequency response of over 100k Hz and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds much more natural. All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in the frequency range as emitted by the sound source. A better reproduction does not exist! For the first time your ears will relive reality.

There are three types of Super Audio CDs.

• Single-layer Disc

• Dual-layer Disc

• Hybrid-layer Disc

Disc Types

Single-layer Disc

HD layer HD layer CD layer HD layer

And each type may contain two areas of recorded information.

• High quality stereo area

• High quality multi-channel area**

• Single Layer Disc

It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality

multi-channel area** information.

Dual-layer Disc

Hybrid-layer Disc

• Dual Layer Disc

It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality

multi-channel area** information. And a double amount of information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second layer.

• Hybrid Layer Disc

Not only does this disc contain both high sound quality

stereo area and high sound quality multi-channel area** information, it also has a CD layer in the second layer, so it can be played on a CD player.

Hybrid Super Audio CD Disc

1 CD layer that plays on any of your

existing CD play

High-Density layer containing:

2 - High sound quality stereo 3 -

High sound quality multi-channel

The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It will be shown on the display window of the unit.

** This unit is a stereo-only player, and so it cannot play

high-quality multi-channel audio areas. (It does not recognize multi-channel areas.)

ers

2. Audio CD (CDDA)

Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

3. CD-R / CD-RW

This unit can play back the CD-R W (ReWritable) discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.

• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properlyrecorded T OC information so that they can be pla yed bac k. In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and play ed back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players. For details, please read the instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.

* TOC stands f or T able Of Contents and contains information

such as the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.

• This unit can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.

• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the player setup, it may take longer time for reading the TOC information than when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.

ENGLISH

BEFORE USING

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.

This product can be powered by 120 V AC only.

Recording and playback of any material ma y require consent. For further information refer to the following:

— Copyright Act 1956 — Dramatic and Musical Performers Act 1958 — Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 — Any subsequent statutory enactments and orders

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

• 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.

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

* The quality of the laser and other components can

be harmed if the player is placed directly on top of an amplifier or other device which generates heat.

7 Do not place objects on top

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

7 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.

7 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

• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This 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 pre v ented from oper ating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.

•

This player ma y 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 Super Audio CD and normal Audio CDs only. It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).

• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
