INSTALLATION
WARNING!
In some circumstances, the CD player may cause radio or TV interference.
@ Therefore position the CD player undermostin the HiFi system and away
from your radio, tuner or TV.
@ The CD player should be switched off when you are listening to your tuner.
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 5)
The two red transit clamps on the underside lock the player mechanism to
secure it during transportation.
@ Turn the player upside down.
@ Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and withdraw them from the player.
@ Store them in the recesses provided.
@ If you wantto transport the player, always reinsert the clamps and rotate
them clockwise until they lock in position.
WARNING!
Operating this CD player before the transit clamps have been removed may
damage the unit.
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING
@ Check that the type plate on the rear of the player indicates the correct
supply voltage.
e@ If not, contact your dealer.
Certain versions of this player are equipped with a voltage selector), which
enables you to set the player to the correct mains voltage yourself. When
changing the voltage seiting from 220/240 V to 110/127 V or vice versa, it
is also necessary to change the mains fuse to one of the correct rating.
REPLACING THE MAINS FUSE
@ Using a screwdriver, remove the MAINS FUSE HOLDER ().
@ Remove the old fuse and replace with a fuse of the correct rating (800 mA
for 110/127 V; 500 mA for 220/240 V).
@ Refit the MAINS FUSE HOLDER.
INSERTING THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL (Fig. 7)
@ Open the battery compartment.
@ Insert the batteries according to the diagram in the compartment.
@ Replace the cover.
@ For replacement only use batteries of the type RO3, UM4 or AAA.
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 1)
All connections to the rear panel should be made with the power to the entire
system switched off. ;
To avoid cross-connection of channels, connect one plug at a time.
@ ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
VARIABLE (a): For connection to an amplifier or HiFi system without its
own remote control.
FIXED (b): For connection to a MARANTZ amplifier or HiFi system with
its own remote control.
@ Insert a red plug into the 'R’ socket (right-hand channel) and the other
plug into the ’L’ socket (left-hand channel) of the VARIABLE output
or the FIXED output @. In the case of connection via the
VARIABLE output, the sound level can be adjusted with the
Vv VOLUME & keys on the remote control.
@ Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding sockets of the CD
or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but never the
PHONO input. This is not suitable for Compact Disc reproduction.
@ REMOTE CONTROL OUT/IN
— For connecting up the equipment when you are incorporating the
player ina MARANTZ HiFi system with its own remote control system.
A special remote control cable is available for this from your dealer.
— For connecting the remote contro! receiver RC 55, available as an
accessory, if the siting of the changer prevents its REMOTE SENSOR
from receiving the signals from the remote control directly.
@ DIGITAL OUTPUT COAX
For digital signal processing or future applications such as CD-I.
This output supplies a digital signal and can therefore only be
connected to an input which is suitable for this signal. Use here a lead
with one cinch plug on either end.
WARNING!
Never connect this socket to a non-digital input of an amplifier, such as
AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc. This can damage the amplifier and the
loudspeakers.
@ MAINS FUSE HOLDER
See ‘Replacing the mains fuse’.
®© VOLTAGE SELECTOR
See 'Checking the power supply setting’.
MAINS SOCKET
@ Insert the plug of the mains lead supplied into the MAINS SOCKET.
@ Connect the other end to your mains supply.
IMPORTANT - FITTING A MAINS PLUG (U.K. only)
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Blue - Neutral: Brown - Live. As the colours of the wires may not
correspond with the terminal identification in your plug, proceed as follows:
@ Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured brown or
red.
e@ Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured blue or black.
For 13 A plugs, conforming to BS1363, use a 3 A fuse.
For other plugs, use a 5 A or lower fuse in the plug, adaptor or at the
distribution board.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES
LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES
@ Connect headphones with a 6.3 mm jack plug and an impedance
between 8 and 2000 ohms to the PHONES socket.
~ The volume of the sound you hear is determined by the impedance of the
headphones and the signal level on the disc itself.
The sound level can be adjusted using the W VOLUME A keys on the
remote control.
RECORDING FROM YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER
If you wish to make a tape recording of a disc or a programme, it can be
useful to store the recording time of the tape in the player's memory.
Should the disc or the programme be longer than one side of the tape, a
pause will then be inserted automatically after the last track which fits onto
that side. This will prevent the disc or the programme continuing to play
when the tape has already stopped.
NOTE!
if the player is connected to the amplifier via the VARIABLE output, the
v VOLUME 4 keys may not be used during recording. If necessary,use
the VOLUME 4 key to increase the volume level up to the volume level at
which the amplifier has been set.
e Press PROGRAM MODE iwice.
— EDIT lights up and MIN starts flashing.
@ Key in the total recording time of the tape using the ’1-0° digit keys.
@ Press MEMO.
— TRACK, STEP, MIN and SEC light up.
— The recording time is now stored in the players memory; you can now
record the disc or first compile a programme from the disc.
e@ Press PLAY-REPLAY (P ) to play the disc or the programme.
- [a] lights up.
— The track number indicator shows which tracks can be recorded on side
A of the tape; these numbers will be played one after the other.
— Play will stop after the last track.
- [B] lights up.
— The track number indicator shows which tracks can be recorded on side
B of the tape.
@ Press PAUSE (11) to continue play.
NOTE!
— You can also start playback with RANDOM; the numbers will then be
recorded in a different order than on the disc or in the programme.
— As soon as you press PLAY-REPLAY (> ) or RANDOM, the other player
functions (except TIME) will temporarily be switched off to prevent the
recording being interfered with.
— Should the disc or the programme be longer than the tota/recording time
of the tape, a pause will then again be inserted after the last track which
fits onto side B. [a] lights up again and the track number indicator shows
the remaining, unrecorded tracks.

MAINTENANCE
REPAIRS
Discs
Although both sides of a disc are protected by a special coating, it is still
advisable to treat the discs with care:
@ Never leave discs lying around, put them back in their holders
immediately after use.
@ Never write on the printed side of the disc!
@ Do not attach any stickers to the disc.
@ Keep the shiny surface of the disc clean. Use a soft lint-free cloth and
always wipe the disc in a straight line from centre to edge. You may
breathe lightly on the disc first.
NOTE!
Cleaning agents for conventional records are not suitable for cleaning a
Compact Disc. Detergents or abrasive cleaning agents should not be used
either.
The player
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings and must not
be oiled or greased.
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient for cleaning the
player. Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirit, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc tray should be kept free of dust.
