FOREWORD
This section must be read before any connection is made to the
mains supply.
WARNINGS
Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
Do not remove the cover from the equipment.
Do not push anything inside the equipment through the
ventilation holes.
Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands.
EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product complies with the household power and
safety requirements in your area.
*/02" Version product can be powered by 230 V AC.
"/05" or "/07" Version product can be powered by 240 V AC only.
This is a voltage selector (2-position or 4-position) on the rear
panel of the "/01" Version product. Be sure to set the voltage
selector to the mains voltage of your area before using the unit.
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.
lf 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,

loop
antenna
can
be
used
on
top
of
the
receiver
or
can
be
mounted

CONNECTION OF SPEAKER SYSTEMS
(Figure 2)
This unit is equipped with two sets of SPEAKER SYSTEM
terminals - SYSTEM 1 terminals and SYSTEM 2 terminals. The
speaker system is usually connected to the SYSTEM 1
terminals.
e The speakers in the speaker system should have an
impedance of between 8 and 16 ohms. If speakers with an
impedance of less than 8 ohms are connected, the protection
circuitry may be activated during play.
e Connect the Right channel speaker to the R terminals, and the
Left channel speaker to the L terminals.

e The output terminals have positive (+: Red) and negative (—:
Black) polarity, and each speaker aiso has the same polarity
(+ and —). When connecting the speakers, be sure to
connect the terminals with the same polarity (+ with +, — with
NOTE:
If two speaker systems are to be connected to the unit, each of
the speakers should have an impedance of 16 ohms or more. /f
speakers with an impedance of less than 16 ohms are
connected, the protection circuit may be activated during play,
making normal stereo playback impossible.
VIDEO SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
(Figure 3)
CONNECTION OF TV TUNER
