NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
― Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
― Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
― Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
― Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications may cause this unit to fail to comply
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and may void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture — The appliance should not be used
near water — for example, near a bathtub, wash-bowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands — The appliance should be used only
with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
7. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
8. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
flow of air through the ventilation openings.
10. Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
11. Power Sources — The appliance should be connected to
a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
12. Grounding or Polarization — The precautions that should
be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an
appliance is not defeated.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
13. Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
14. Cleaning — The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Power Lines— An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Fig. 1.
17. Nonuse Periods — The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for
a long period of time.
18. Object and Liquid Entry — Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
19. Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appli-
ance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
20. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service the
appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified
service personnel.

CARE AND MAIN TENANCE
This section describes the care and maintenance tasks that must be
performed to optimize the operation of your Marantz equipment.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL
SURFACES
The exterior finish of your ST6000 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, lintfree cloth.
If the equipment becomes heavily soiled:
– dilute some washing up liquid in water, in a ratio of one par t 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.
Memory backup
• In case a power outage occurs or the power cord is accidentally unplugged, the ST6000 is equipped with a 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.
