We recommend that you read the entire user guide
before you attempt to connect or operate the player.
After you have reviewed the contents of this
manual,we suggest that you make all system
connections before you attempt to operate the unit.
INSTALLATION
Remember the following important points when
installing the player:
• Do not expose the player to rain or moisture, as
this may cause damage to the player.
• All players produce some heat during operation
and this heat must be allowed to disperes freely.
Do not close any ventilation openings and insure
that there is adequate ventilation space behind,
beside and above the player.
• Prevent extra heat from reaching the unit. Never
put the player in the full glare of the sun or near a
heat source.
PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be taken when
operating the equipment.
INTRODUCTION.................................. 2
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.

BEFORE USING .................................. 2
NAMES AND FUNCTIONS ................. 4
PRECAUTIONS IN CONNECTION
• Be sure to unplug the power cable from the AC
outlet or turn off the POWER switch before
proceeding with any connection.
• Connect one cable at a time observing the “input”
and “output”.
This will avoid any cross connection between
channels and signal inputs and outputs.
• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connection
This unit can playback the outstanding sound
performance in Super Audio CD. This unit has the
following unique features.
• D/A converter section that accurately converts
DSD/CD signal into high-quality analog signal with
the DEM(Dynamic Element Matching) Super
DAC(CS4397).
• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and highspeed current-feedback-type output amplifier with
the differential input type HDAM.
• Text information display function that can display
disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD.
• CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.
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.
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
properly-recorded 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 CD-R disc is played.

BEFORE USING
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 use discs which come in special shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that some
other kind of malfunctioning may occur in the player.
* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such
as those with the “CD logo” or “” mark on
their disc label surfaces.
No guarantees are made for playback if discs which
do not satisfy the appropriate CD standards are
used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound
quality even if it is possible to play such discs.
Do not wipe the surface in
the circumferential direction.
2
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid
placing them in the following locations.
• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or
where they will be close to a heater or other heatradiating appliance
• Where the humidity level is high or it is very dusty
• Near a window or other such location where they
may be exposed to rain
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in
their cases after use.
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
• On top of an amplifier or other component which
dissipates a great deal of heat
• In an audio rack with little space at the top and

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.
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 Super Audio CD
and normal music CDs only. It cannot play CDROMs used with personal computers, game CDs,
video CDs or DVDs (video/audio).
• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
USING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Cautions on handling batteries
Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte
leakage, rupturing, corrosion, etc.

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
and poles 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.

Super Audio CDs have a wide playback frequency
band of 100 kHz that is beyond the audible range:
this means that their signals contain ultra-high-range
components that conventional CDs do not have. A
conventional amplifier is often not built to reproduce
signals containing these components, and when
Super Audio CD signals are output in their original
state, noise may be generated, the amplifier’s
protection circuits may be activated and/or the
speakers may be damaged.
To prevent this sort of trouble from occurring, the
unit incorporates a filter (STANDARD) for attenuating
the ultra-high-range components, and the filter can
be set STANDARD or CUSTOM using a switch on
the rear panel. (This switch is set to STANDARD
when the unit is shipped from the manufacturing
plant.)
When the unit is to be connected with a nextgeneration amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs
and set the switch to CUSTOM for use. This will
ensure play with a wider frequency range.
* Use the switch at the STANDARD position if the
unit is to be used with a regular amplifier.
Otherwise, the amplifier and/or speakers may be
damaged.
* Even when the unit has been connected with an
amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs, change
the switch to the STANDARD position when
recording Super Audio CD sound on a tape deck,
for instance.
* Turn the power off before setting this switch. Setting
the switch during play may cause noise to be
generated.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you think a malfunction has occurred, first check
the points listed below. The problem is likely to have
been caused by a simple operational error or a
connection problem. If the problem cannot be
corrected even after carrying out the following checks,
consult your dealer or nearest Marantz sales office
or service counter.
• The disc fails to rotate.
1. Is the mains lead plugged in properly?
2. Is the POWER switch ON?
3. Is the disc placed in the correct position on the
disc tray?
4. Is the disc placed properly with the label side facing
up?
5. Is the disc dirty?
6. Is the disc scratched?
7. Is the disc warped?
• The disc is rotating but no sound is heard.
1.Are the amplifier and speakers connected
properly?
2. Is the amplifier switch ON?
3. Is the amplifier’s function or selector switch set to“CD” or “AUX ” or such (to whatever you have
connected this unit to)?
4. Is the amplifier’s volume control set at the minimum
level?
• The disc stops in mid-operation.
The sound drops out or noise is heard.
1. Is the disc dirty?
2. Is the disc scratched?
3. Is the disc warped?
* In the case of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, this problem
may occur when the conditions under which its data
was originally written were substandard or when
the quality of the disc itself is poor.
* This condition may occur in Mixed-Mode CDs, CD
Extra, and other discs that have CDDA format mixed
with other data.
Noise may also be heard momentarily when
skipping tracks.
• Remote control operation is not possible.
1. Is the transmitter of the remote control unit
(RC8400SA) pointed correctly at the remote
sensor on the front of the player (this unit)?
Or is there an obstruction between the transmitter
and the remote sensor?
2. Are the batteries in the remote control unit
exhausted?
3. Is there another strong light (from a window, etc.)
striking the Super Audio CD player’s remote
sensor?
• A Super Audio CD cannot be played.
1. Is the disc scratched, dirty or warped?
2. Is the amplifier’s input selector set to digital?
* Digital audio signal will not be output when a Super
Audio CD is played.
3. Is the disc a Super Audio CD multi-channel only
disc? (This unit does not support Super Audio CD
multi-channel.)
• A CD-R/CD-RW disc cannot be played.
1. Is the disc placed upside down?
2. Is the disc contains properly written TOC?
3. Is the recorded information in an audio (CD-DA)
format?
• A specific CD cannot be played
Copy control CDs (CDs with copy guard) are
special discs that do not comply with current CD
standards. Marantz cannot guarantee the ability
to play such discs on your CD player.
When normal CDs can be played without a
problem and problems occur only when playing
these special discs, it is not a problem with this
unit.
Please ask the seller of the copy control CD for
detailed information regarding copy control CDs.
• The unit makes a clicking sound when the tray
closes
This is the adhesion click of the clamper for
securing the disc. This does not cause any problem
in using the unit.
• While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound
is heard or a slight vibration occur.
Depending on the disc, a spinning sound may
occur or the unit may vibrate slightly due to disc
eccentricity or such. This is not a problem with this
unit.
