PRECAUTIONS
Note the following important precautions whenever operating the amplifier.
SELECTING A LOCATION
Take a few moments to consider the following points before choosing a place for the amplifier.
—Make sure ventilation holes are not blocked or covered.
—Ensure that air can circulate freely around the amplifier.
—Locate the amplifier on a surface that is free of vibration.
—Choose a place where the amplifier will not be exposed to interference from an external source.
—Avoid excessive heat, cold, moisture, and dust.
—Keep the amplifier out of direct sunlight.
—Do not locate the amplifier where it will be exposed to electrostatic charge.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
—Never place heavy objects on top of the amplifier.
—Should foreign matter or water get into the interior of the amplifier, immediately turn it off and contact your original dealer or Marantz service provider.
—Never pull on the mains lead when unplugging the amplifier. Grasp the plug itself.
—It is always a good idea to disconnect the amplifier from the mains supply whenever leaving it unattended for long periods or during thunderstorms.
CONNECTIONS
(Figure 1)
CONNECTING A TUNER
Connect the output jacks of your stereo tuner to the TUNER jacks of this amplifier.
CONNECTING A COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Connect the output jacks of your CD player to the CD jacks of this amplifier.
CONNECTING A TURNTABLE
Connect the L (Left) output cord of the turntable to the “L”PHONO jack of this amplifier, and the R (Right) output cord to the “R”PHONO jack. If the turntable has a ground wire, make sure you connect it to the GND terminal of this amplifier. The GND terminal does not need to be connected if the turntable does not have a ground wire.
CONNECTING A TAPE DECK
Connect the IN (recording input) jacks of the tape recorder to the TAPE OUT jack of this amplifier, and the OUT (playback output) jacks of the tape recorder to the TAPE IN jack.
CONNECTING A PROCESSOR
Connect the IN jacks of the processor to the PROCESSOR OUT jack of this amplifier, and the OUT jacks of the processor to the PROCESSOR IN jack. When not used, leave these jacks connected with the supplied connecting pins.
CONNECTING A SPEAKER SYSTEM
Your amplifier has two sets of SPEAKER SYSTEM terminals, which means you can connect either one or two speaker systems.
NOTE:
Turn the knobs on the speaker terminals by hand.(Do not use a tool to turn the knobs.)
•CONNECTING ONE SPEAKER SYSTEM
Note the following points when connecting a single speaker system.
—The impedance of each speaker should be minimum 8 ohms. Connecting a speaker with impedance less than 8 ohms can causes activation of the amplifier’s protection circuitry during play, making normal stereo playback impossible.
—Connect the right channel speaker to the amplifier’s R terminals, and the left channel speaker to the L terminals.
—The output terminals have positive (+: red) and negative
•CONNECTING TWO SPEAKER SYSTEMS
Make sure that the impedance of each speaker is minimum 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with impedance less than 16 ohms can causes activation of the amplifier’s protection circuitry during play, making normal stereo playback impossible.
