Noise may also be heard momentarily when skipping tracks.

•Remote control operation is not possible.

1.Is the transmitter of the remote control unit (RC- 11SAS1) pointed correctly at the remote sensor on the front of the player (this unit)?

Or is there an obstruction between the transmitter and the remote sensor?

2.Are the batteries in the remote control unit exhausted?

3.Is there another strong light (from a window, etc.) striking the Super Audio CD player’s remote sensor?

•A Super Audio CD cannot be played.

Copy control CDs (CDs with copy guard) are special discs that do not comply with current CD standards. Marantz cannot guarantee the ability to play such discs on your CD player.

When normal CDs can be played without a problem and problems occur only when playing these special discs, it is not a problem with this unit.

Please ask the seller of the copy control CD for detailed information regarding copy control CDs.

•The unit makes a clicking sound when the tray closes

This is the adhesion click of the clamper for securing the disc. This does not cause any problem in using the unit.

•While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound is heard or a slight vibration occur.

Depending on the disc, a spinning sound may occur or the unit may vibrate slightly due to disc eccentricity or such. This is not a problem with this unit.
