FOREWORD

Be sure to read this section before any connection to the mains supply.

WARNINGS

Never expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
Never remove the equipment’s cover.
Never insert anything into the equipment’s vents.
Never handle the mains lead while your hands are wet.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

This Marantz product is available in two different variations, depending
on geographical area. One variation has a preset mains voltage (230V
for General Europe model and U.K. model), while the other variation
features variable voltage that can be selected using a voltage selector
on rear panel (115V/230V).
The voltage selector must be set for your local mains voltage before
any connection to the mains supply. If you need to change its voltage
setting, consult your dealer your local Marantz service provider.

IMPORTANT: (FOR U.K. MODEL)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI ap-

proved 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.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG (FOR U.K. MODEL)

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.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL
SURFACES

The exterior finish of your ST4000 will last indefinitely with proper care
and cleaning. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring powders
or harsh chemical agents (e.g., lye solution), alxohol, 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 deter-

gent to six parts water;

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

is damp;
– wipe the equipment with the damp cloth;
– dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth.

discharge or AC line interference has corrupted the information in the
equipment memory circuits. Therefore:

– disconnect the plug from the AC line supply
– after waiting at least three minutes, reconnect the plug to the AC line

supply
– re-attempt to operate the equipment

Memory backup

function to prevent memory data such as the preset memory
from being erased.
The memory funcitons are backed up for up to about one
week.
