FEATURES
FEATURES
This unit can play back the outstanding sound
performance of Super Audio CDs. This unit has the
following major features.
sLow-noise low-distortion filter circuit and
high-speed HDAMSA2-type output amplifier
with the differential input type HDAM
sPlayback of CD-R/CD-RW discs
sPlayback of CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM discs
containing WMA and MP3 files
sToroidal transformer
The SA8003 features a toroidal transformer that
produces less vibration and magnetic leakage flux
compared to conventional power transformers.
The materials and manufacturing process of the
ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce
vibration, while the short-ring attached to the
perimeter of the transformer reduce magnetic
leakage flux.
sLarge-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 3300 μF capacitor carefully
selected for its acoustic characteristics is
incorporated into the power supply circuit.
sAudiophile-grade film capacitors and
electrolytic capacitors
The SA8003 features the same audiophile-
grade film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors
specifically used in top-range models.
sDouble-layered chassis
sHigh-grade machined analog audio output
connectors
sPlayback of USB audio (MP3/WMA/WAV)/
iPod
This unit can play back MP3, WMA, WAV, and
AAC files by connecting an USB device or iPod to
its USB connector.
APPLICABLE DISCS TO THE UNIT
1. HjeZg6jY^d89
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream
Digital (DSD) technology. This new direct-stream
digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a
digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher
than that of conventional audio CD. The results are
spectacular: a frequency response of over 100k Hz
and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible
spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original
frequencies as possible, the audio information
audible for human ears sounds much more natural.
All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded
in the frequency range as emitted by the sound
source. A better reproduction does not exist! For
the first time your ears will relive reality.
There are three types of Super Audio CDs.
sSingle-layer Disc
sDual-layer Disc
sHybrid-layer Disc
Disc Types
Single-layer Disc
Dual-layer Disc Hybrid-layer Disc
HD layer HD layer CD layer HD layer
And each type may contain two areas of recorded
information.
sHigh quality stereo area
sHigh quality multi-channel area**
sSingle Layer Disc
It can contain both high quality stereo area and
high quality multi-channel area** information.
sDual Layer Disc
It can contain both high quality stereo area and
high quality multi-channel area** information.
And a double amount of information can be
stored on the disc thanks to the second layer.
sHybrid Layer Disc
Not only does this disc contain both high sound
quality stereo area and high sound quality multi-
channel area** information, it also has a CD layer
in the second layer, so it can be played on a CD
player.
Hybrid Super Audio CD Disc
1CD layer that plays on any of your
existing CD players
High-Density layer containing:
2- High sound quality stereo
3- High sound quality multi-channel**
The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It
will be shown on the display window of the unit.
**This unit is a stereo-only player, and so it
cannot play high-quality multi-channel audio
areas. (It does not recognize multi-channel
areas.)
2. 6jY^d898996

3. 89"G$89"GL
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
sThe CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC* information so that they
can be played back. In CD recorders, the task of
writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing
the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be
properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD
players. For details, please read the instruction
manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains
information such as the total number of tracks
and total playing time of the disc.
sAs the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates
partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information than
when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product complies with the household
power and safety requirements in your area.
This product can be powered by 120 V AC only.
COPYRIGHT
Recording and playback of any material may
require consent. For further information refer to the
following:
—Copyright Act 1956
—Dramatic and Musical Performers Act 1958
—Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972
—any subsequent statutory enactments and
orders
INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR
INSTALLATION
To keep your player in perfect working order for the
longest possible time, avoid installing the player in
the following locations.
sWherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight
sWherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-
radiating appliance
sWherever the humidity is high or ventilation is
poor
sWherever it is very dusty
sWherever it will be subject to vibration
sOn top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location
which is tilted at an angle
sOn top of an amplifier or other component which
dissipates a great deal of heat
sIn an audio rack with little space at the top
and bottom or other location where the heat
dissipation will be obstructed
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the
player while leaving clearances between the
player and wall or other components, as shown
in the figure below.

BEFORE USING
DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP
sRefrain from placing any objects on top of the
player.
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING MAINS CORD
sDo not touch the mains cord with wet hands.
sWhen disconnecting the mains cord, always
make sure that you take hold of the plug. Yanking
out or bending the cord can damage it and/or
cause electric shocks or a fire.
sGet into the habit of disconnecting the power
plug before leaving home.
DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS YOURSELF
sRefrain from lubricating the player: doing so can
cause malfunctioning.
sOnly qualified engineers with specialized
expertise are authorized to repair the pick-up and
parts inside the player.
PRECAUTIONS
sIn winter, droplets of water form on the insides
of the windows of a heated room: this is called
condensation. This CD player uses an optical
lens, so the condensation may form in the
following cases.
- In a room immediately after the heating has
been turned on
- In a room where the humidity level is high
- When the player has been suddenly brought
from a cold location into a warm room
S
ince, in cases like this, the track numbers may
not be read and the player is prevented from
operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and
then operate the player.
sThis player may cause interference on a tuner or
TV set. If this is the case, place it further away
from the tuner or TV set.
sCompact discs have much less noise than analog
records and hardly any noise is heard before play
starts. Bear in mind, therefore, that if the volume
control on the amplifier is set too high, you will
risk damaging other audio components.
sThis audio player is for the exclusive playing of
Audio CDs (Compact Discs) and MP3/WMA
compressed data files.
It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal
computers, game CDs, video CDs, DVDs (video/
audio) or DTS-CDs.
sWe do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.

one.
sInsert the batteries while ensuring that their
Vand spoles are properly aligned with the
corresponding markings on the remote control
unit.
sBatteries with the same shape may have different
voltages. Do not use different types of batteries
together.
sIf electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the
inside of the battery compartment, and then
insert new batteries.
sWhen batteries which are no longer required are
to be discarded, follow the directions (regulations)

REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION
Connecting this player to additional Marantz audio equipment using the supplied remote control cable
enables remote control of the connected equipment as a single audio system.
sWhen connecting equipment incorporating a remote sensor, connect the “remote control out”connector
of the equipment to the “remote control in”jack of the CD player.
When doing this, set this player’s switch to “EXTERNAL.”This will stop its remote control IR receiver
from operating and the player can now be controlled via the remote control IR receiver of the attached
equipment.
