EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area.

“N”or “UK” Version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.

IMPORTANT:

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3.Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE—”NEUTRAL” (“N”) BROWN—”LIVE” (“L”)

1.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.

2.The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.

3.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug

which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.
