Condensation

Moisture may form in the operating section of the player if the
player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or
if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this
happens, the player’s performance will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for
about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the
room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form
during the summer if the
player is exposed to the
breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the
player.

Switch POWER to turn off when not using the unit

Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast
signal, having the TV or radio on while
power to the unit is on may result in stripes
on the TV screen or noise. However, this is
not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or
radio. In such a case, switch the power of
the unit to turn off.

Power-cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug
by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc.,
on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in
the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be
routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on.
A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When
you find it damaged, ask your nearest MARANTZ service
center or your dealer for a replacement.

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn
dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by
diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well,
then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface
dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner
which are harmful to the unit.

Notes on using optical cables

• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing,

wind the cords so that they have a
diameter of at least 15 cm.

• When connecting, push all the way into

the terminal.

• Do not use cords with a length of over 3

m.

• If moisture or dust has collected on the

plug, wipe it with a soft cloth before
connecting.
