INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional
PMD351 combination Stereo Cassette Deck/CD
Player. Please read these operating instructions
carefully. We recommend that you read the entire
user guide prior to connecting and operating the unit.
It is also recommended that all connections be made
prior to operating the unit. Please refer to this manual
to identify controls and connections for operation of
the unit.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

When setting up the equipment ensure that:

• air is allowed to circulate freely around the

equipment,

• the equipment is on a vibration free surface,
• the equipment will not be exposed to interference

from an external source,

• the equipment will not be exposed to excessive

heat, cold, moisture or dust,

• the equipment will not be exposed to direct

sunlight,

• heavy objects are not placed on the equipment,
• the unit is not exposed to moisture. If so, do not

operate the unit until it has been thoroughly
inspected by a electrically competent technician.

• Do not disconnect AC power by pulling the power

cord. Remove from the outlet by pulling on the
plug only.

FEATURES

QUICK OPTICAL AUTO REVERSE

In addition to the normal tension reversing circuitry,
the PMD351 tape transport also employs optically
sensed quick auto reverse circuitry. This circuitry
reacts to the clear areas of the tape, usually the
leader tape, and when detected, will reverse the
direction of the tape transport. This process mini-
mizes the loss of signal being recorded or played
back. This reverse process applies to all tape play-
back and recording modes, including auto reverse
and continuous mode.

TAPE AND CD PITCH CONTROL

The PMD351 tape player and CD player both allow
for adjustment of the playback pitch from -12% to
+12%. The feature is particularly useful for adjusting
the unit playback pitch to allow you to tune the
PMD351 to accompanying instruments and choirs.

IR RECEIVER

The PMD351 is equipped with an IR receiver for use
with remote control Model RC330 (not supplied)
available from Marantz Professional.

RC-5 REMOTE CONTROL COMPATIBILITY

The PMD351 comes equipped with an RC-5 remote

in and out port. Through the use of various remote

control options the major functions of the unit can be

operated via wired or wireless remote control.

ONE-TOUCH DUBBING

The PMD351 allows for the dubbing of a CD to a
tape with one-button start control. This feature allows
you to manually or automatically select the recording
level you desire.

A-B REPEAT

The PMD351 allows you to select two points within

the CD playback mode and repeat the audio play-

back within these points until a stop command is
issued.

LOCKABLE TRACK TIME MODE

The CD time display can be toggled between the

various modes of display. In addition, when a display

mode is set, the unit will remain in the selected mode

until you change it or unit is powered off. This is

particularly useful for monitoring the audio during

performances and programs.

ONE-TRACK PLAY

The PMD351 can be set to allow for the CD player to

play the selected track and return to the stop mode

rather than continue on to the next track on the CD.

CD-R/CD-RW PLAY

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R

(recordable) discs, this player can also play CD-RW

(rewritable) discs. It can also play unfinalized discs

that cannot be played by regular CD players.

MP3

This player can play discs containing MP3 files.

AUTO QUE CD PLAY

The CD pl

ayer on the PMD351 contains an Auto

Que feature. This feature allows the CD player to

advance to the beginning of the audio within the track

rather than start from the track start flag. This feature

helps to minimize the silence at the beginning of a
CD track playback.

DOLBY NR SYSTEMS

The Dolby Noise Reduction systems compress and

amplify the tape during recording in order to raise the

signal-to-noise ratio on the tape. During playback,

these signals are expanded and attenuated by the

same amount in order to regain the original dynamic

range of music. An additional result of this expansion

and attenuation is that the noise floor of the recording

is reduced significantly. Dolby B typically reduces

noise by 10dB. Dolby C typically reduces noise by
20dB.
