ENGLISH

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience trouble with the SC-11S1, make the below checks before thinking the worst. Improper operation can cause the SC-11S1 to behave in a way that makes you think something is wrong with the equipment when actually not. If the trouble cannot be fixed after making the below checks, contact the place of purchase, your nearest Marantz dealer, our customer service center or our repair service center.

¶Power does not turn ON

Is the power cable securely plugged into a power outlet?

¶Nothing is heard from the headphones or speakers

1.Is the PRE OUT button on the front panel OFF?

2.Is the PHONES OUT button on the front panel OFF?

3.Is the ATT (attenuation) feature active?

4.Is the input source selected with the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel correct?

5.Are you using the player (replaying device) correctly?

6.Are connection cables and speaker cables securely connected?

7.Volume may have been muted by a protective circuit that tripped. Try adjusted the volume again.

8.If an error message is displayed, correctly set the ID number as indicated in the reference table.

¶Volume differs between left and right

Are the volume (LEVEL TRIM), bass, or treble levels trimmed differently for the right and left sides? If required, try trimming again.

¶Sound is not stereo

The MODE switch on the rear panel may be set to “BI-AMP”. If the unit is in bi-amp mode, shut the power OFF, set the MODE switch to “STEREO” and then reactivate the power. Power must be activated after the MODE switch is set for the setting to be active.

¶Record player audio is not heard or contains a lot of noise

1.Is the PHONO MC button on the front panel set to match the type of cartridge you are using?

2.Are the connection cables securely connected?

3.Is the grounding wire from the record player connected to the PHONO GND terminal?

4.Is the cartridge properly connected to the tone arm?

7Protective Circuits

The unit is equipped with protective circuits to protect the amplifier circuits and headphones against damage. If a protective circuit trips, the sound is instantly muted. In this case, “PROTECT” flashes on the display and the OPERATE indicator also flashes.To release the protective circuits, switch the power OFF, and wait for approximately 1 minute before switching the power back ON again.

¶At Power ON

For about 8 seconds after the power is switched ON, a protective circuit trips and mutes the sound to give amplifier circuits time to stabilize. Once the amplifier circuits stabilize, the protective circuit releases and audio is enabled.

¶If Strong Bass Signals Are Input

A protective circuit trips if bass signals of an excessive level are detected. A protective circuit also trips if an abnormality caused by such reasons as an amplifier fault is detected in the power supply circuit.
