Marantz CD7300 - Manual (Page 2)

Build to perform
With the newly employed CD transport and digital-to-analogue
converter, the CD7300 will even satisfy the demanding
audiophiles. Designed to offer musical enjoyment, this player
will never disappoint in it's reproduction of pure audio.
CS4396 D/A Converter
In stereo playback the CS4396 has equal performance with its
big brother CS4397, the Super DAC, from Cirrus Logic.
The device includes a digital interpolation filter followed by a
oversampled multi-bit Delta Sigma modulator which drives
Dynamic-Element-Matching (DEM) selection logic.
This multi-bit architecture features significantly lower out-of-
band noise and jitter sensitivity than traditional 1-bit designs
and the advanced DEM guarantees low noise and distortion at
all signal levels.
VAM 1201 mechanism
The well appreciated CD transport mechanism has got advanced
capabilities. The VAM1201 is a proven CD transport
mechanism and has been used in many Marantz's CD players.
It's stability and quality are highly appreciated. Now this
mechanism has been renewed with the extra functionality to
playback non finalised CD-R and CD-RWs. It's not necessary
anymore to make a recording plan beforehand. Just record as
you like, and finalise it when you are satisfied or the disc is full.
HDAM
Audio devices are usually equipped with Op-Amps (operational
amplifiers) for which Integrated Circuit (IC) are commonly
used. Unfortunately these IC's do not match the very high
requirements of
Marantz. Marantz
developed it's own
discrete circuit boards
to replace the IC's.
These HDAM's
consists of discrete
surface mount
components with short
mirror image L/R signal
paths. These devices are
doing exactly the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform
the regular IC Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate,
resulting in a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound.
CD-Text
Text information is added to most of todays normal audio CD's.
To be able to read this information, the CD-player must be
equipped with CD-text functionality. Most of the latest
generation Marantz CD-players are fully ready to process this
information and to display the text on the new dot-matrix
display. With this feature information about the performer and
the album can be read on the display of the CD-player.
Quick Replay
With just a single push on the remote control unit, the CD7300
moves back 10 seconds and plays that passage once again.
You will find this function useful to play your favourite part as
often as you like.
Pitch Control
Pitch control enables to increase/decrease playback speed by 15
steps. This feature is extremely usefull to practice with a musical
instrument, or to sing along with the track.
MP3 playback
Compressed audio is becoming more popular every day. Logical
if you consider that 10 hours of music easily will fit on a single
CD when the music is compressed using MP-3 technology.
The Marantz CD7300 is able to playback such encoded discs,
giving you many hours of musical pleasure and fine sound
quality.
D.Bus
To optimise equipment in terms of ease of use, Marantz has
designed the D.Bus system. Individual devices inform each
other, in order to automatically tune to the customers demands.
At the same time received remote control commands are
communicated via this bus. This enables equipment without
IR-receiver, like a cassette deck or tuner, to be controlled via a
Marantz Remote control.
