EQUIPMENT REAR PANEL
CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
(Figure 1)
ABC ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Both FM and AM antenna can be connected to the tuner's terminals.
AFM ANTENNA A TERMINAL
The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM
antenna with a circular plug. It can also be used to connect the
accessory FM feeder antenna.
BFM ANTENNA B TERMINAL
The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM
antenna with a circular plug, or for connecting a cable network to the
tuner.
CAM ANTENNA TERMINAL
The AM terminal and the GND terminal are used to connect the high-
performance, low-impedance, AM loop antenna that is provided with
the receiver. The AM loop antenna can be used on top of the tuner or
can be mounted on a suitable rack or shelf near the tuner.
Interference may be reduced if the tuner is earthed.
In areas where the AM loop antenna supplied gives unsatisfactory
result, it is recommended that the tuner be connected to an outdoor
antenna. Use the terminal marked AM for this. Anearthing lead can
be connected to the terminal marked GND to further reduce
interference.
DFM ATTENUATE SWITCH (FM ATT.)
This switch attenuates the FM signal input to the ATTENNA B
terminal.
DX : For use when the FM signal is comparatively weak.
(The input FM signal is not attenuated.)
LOCAL: For use when the FM signal is comparatively strong.
(The input FM signal is attenuated by approx. 20dB.)
EOUTPUT JACKS
With the lead supplied, connect the output jacks to the tuner inputs of
your amplifier.
FREMOTE CONTROL BUS TERMINALS
Another item of audio equipment with a remove control bus terminal
can be connected to these terminals by using a specialpurpose
cable. The bus OUT terminal is used to send signals to another item
of equipment. The bus IN terminal is used to receive signals from
another item of equipment.
FOREWORD
This section must be read before any connection is made to the
mains supply.
EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product has been prepared to comply with the
household power and safety requirements that exist in your area.
On the rear panel of the “K” Version product, a voltage selector (2-
position) is provided. Be sure to set the voltage selector to the mains
voltage of your area before using the unit.
When it is required to switch the predetermined voltage of your unit,
please consult your dealer or the service station in your area.
IMPORTANT:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.

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 apprppriate 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
