OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

In the winter you may notice that condensation forms on the window of a well-heated room.

Condensation may also occur inside the CD player in the following situations:

When the listening room is first heated.

When the humidity in the room is high.

When the unit is moved from a cold environment to a warm room.

If condensation occurs, the number of tracks cannot be read and the CD player may not function properly. If this happens, leave the power ON and wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.

The CD player may interfere with the reception of your tuner or TV set. If this occurs, place the CD player farther away from the tuner or TV.

The CD player features very little noise compared to analog records, and the noise before actual playback begins is almost inaudible. Therefore, be careful not to set the volume control of the amplifier too high, otherwise other audio components such as the speakers may be damaged when actual playback starts.

CLEANING OF EXTERIOR SURFACES

With proper care and cleaning, the exterior finish of your equipment will last indefinitely. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g. lye solution), alcohol, thinners,benzine, insecticide or other volatile substances, as these will mar the finish of the cabinet. Likewise, never use cloths containing chemical substances. If the equipment becomes dirty, wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the cabinet becomes heavily soiled:

dilute some washing-up liquid in water, in a ratio of one part detergent to six parts water;

dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the solution and wring the cloth out until it is damp;

wipe the equipment with the damp cloth;

dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth.

Only the most competent and qualified service technicians should be allowed to service the equipment. The Marantz company and its factory-trained warranty station personnel have the knowledge and special facilities needed for the repair and calibration of this precision equipment. After the warranty period has expired, repairs will be performed for a charge if the equipment can be restored to normal operation.
