Notes about the discs
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch their
surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be sure to use
the special cleaner and wipe the surfaces in the directions
shown in the figure below.
• Wipe the surface radially
from the center.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the label
surfaces of the discs.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label
with paste protruding from the edge or when a disc still bears
traces of sticky tape or adhesive labels, do not attempt to
play it. If such a disc is played on the CD player, you may
find that you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.
• Do not wipe the surface in
the circumferential direction.
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.

BEFORE USING
ENGLISH
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 prevented from operating properly,
wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.
• This player may 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 music CDs only. It cannot
play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs,
video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).
Cautions on handling batteries
Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte leakage,
rupturing, corrosion, etc.
Bear in mind the following points when using batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if the
unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period (a month
or more).
• Do not use an old battery together with a new one.
• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
are properly aligned with the corresponding markings on
the remote control unit.
• Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages.
Do not use different types of batteries together.
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the
battery compartment, and then insert new batteries.
• When batteries which are no longer required are to be
discarded, follow the directions (regulations) laid down by
the local authorities in the area concerned for their disposal.

INTRODUCTION
About super audio
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
50k 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.
The latest information on the software and other aspects of
SACD can be accessed over the Internet.
http://www.super-audiocd.com
Playing CD-RW discs
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well
as ordinary music CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properlyrecorded TOC information so that they can be played back.
With the CD recorder system, writing the TOC information
in a disc is referred to as finalizing the disc. A disc cannot
be recognized as a CD disc and played back unless it has
been finalized properly. For details, please read the
instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table 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 a music CD or CDR disc is played.

FEATURES
ENGLISH
Super Audio CD multi-channel player
“Reproducing the acoustics of the concert hall in your own
room”
The Super Audio CD (SACD) multi-channel format is the
fulfillment of what audiophiles have dreamed of for many years.
Through a multiple number of speakers placed around the
listener, it enables sound to be reproduced with the authentic
acoustics of the hall or performers’ stage with all the
impressions of its real-life dimensions.
“Conjuring up the acoustics of a concert hall within the
confines of the listening room”
The <SA-17S1> SACD multi-channel player enables you to
experience through the very fibers of your body the excellent
quality of the SACD multi-channel format.
Multi-channel audio circuits, complete with
current feedback HDAM and structured
identically for all 6 channels
Current feedback-type HDAMs (high-speed voltage
amplification modules which are the result of yet another
Marantz original breakthrough) are used for all six audio output
channels. The discretely configured current feedback
amplifier is also employed in the filter amplifier to help ensure
that the vast amounts of high-density music information
recorded on the SACDs are reproduced faithfully by wideband/high-speed circuit technology.
Copper plates have been added to the bases of the multichannel output connectors to achieve zero ground impedance
between the connectors.
As a result, the ground potential of all six channels is fixed in
one point, and authentic multi-channel acoustics are spirited
up with nothing withheld in this department.
SACD-DACs made by Cirrus Logic, Inc. featured
to ensure that the SACD and CD sound is
reproduced with a high sound quality
The player incorporates three CS4397 D/A converters (made
by Cirrus Logic, Inc.) developed for use with SACDs and CDs
to achieve full drive for all six channels.
• When an SACD is played
The DSD signals recorded on the SACD are directly
connected to the multi-element switched capacitors (24
elements) with low jitter characteristics in the last stage of
the CS4397 SACD D/A converters, and they are converted
into extremely accurate analog signals.
• When a conventional CD is played
The PCM signals recorded on the CD are processed by
128x oversampling inside the CS4397 SACD D/A
converters and, by means of a combination of the dynamic
element matching (DEM) and multi-element switched
capacitors, they are converted into very accurate analog
signals with a high linearity.
Mechanism module exclusively designed
for SACD/CD audio
The mechanism module developed by Marantz uses a circuit
board to reduce the noise generated from the digital circuits
to the lowest level possible, and its stable reproduction
capability ensures that SACDs and CDs are played with a
high sound quality.
Power supply circuit for high-quality SACD
play
•“Super ring” (toroidal transformer) used
The player features a powerful power supply section that
contains a “super ring” (toroidal transformer) with a high
efficiency and minimal leakage flux. Also featured is a
special power transformer for the display tube to yield a
stable power supply and shut out noise.
• Original audio-use capacitors adopted
Capacitors specially designed for audio applications with
a high sound quality and large capacity are used in the
power supply block. They were created through a process
of repeated prototype production and test listening
sessions.
They help to create the “Marantz sound” which is soft,
sophisticated and full of acoustic ambience.
Phantom center function makes its debut
If, when you intend to sit back and enjoy SACD multi-channel
discs, you cannot find a place for the center speaker because
of the conditions prevailing in the operating environment, the
sound field at the front will be extended to the left and right
and feel unnatural. If the player’s “phantom center function”
is used in a situation like this, the center channel sound will
be distributed to the front left and right channels, resulting in
the synthesis of a virtual center channel. In other words, the
function makes it possible to recreate a convincing sound
field that has almost the same superb acoustics as what would
be reproduced using the center speaker as well.
Headphone output with high sound quality
The headphone output circuit uses a discrete configuration
that incorporates a high-speed buffer amplifier with a high
drive capability. As a result, you can enjoy the pure sound
delivered by SACDs even through your headphones.
LPF (low-pass filter) selector switch provided
Using this LPF switch provided on the rear panel, you can
now select either the “CUSTOM” setting (wide-band play for
all channels) that fits the bill when listening to sound
reproduced by a system that supports SACDs or the
“STANDARD” setting when listening to the sound reproduced
by a conventional audio system.
Double-layered chassis
The chassis is made of copper-plated steel sheets, and 3.2
mm thick steel sheets (weighing 3.2 kg) are used for the
bottom chassis with its double-layered construction. It anchors
the SACD mechanism firmly in place and eliminates all
vibration. It helps to reproduce a clear sound free from
indistinctness.
DISPLAY OFF function
This function slashes the amount of noise emanating from the
fluorescent display tube and ensures that it does not affect
the reproduced sound.
SACD/CD TEXT display function
This displays the TEXT information that is provided on SACD
and CD discs.
