Bearing
I
Center
shaft~
There
is
a bearing located inside the center shaft hole
in
the
turntable chassis. When the turntable leaves the factory, the
center shaft hole
is
covered with tape to prevent the bearing
from falling out. Sometimes after removing the tape, the
bearing falls out when the turntable is turned over. If the
center shaft is inserted when there is no bearing
in
the
center shaft hole, the turntable will not rotate. Therefore,
make sure that the bearing does not fall out of the center
shaft hole when assembling the turntable.
Furthermore,
if
the
turntable
is
disassembled
for
transportation etc. cover the center shaft hole with tape etc.
to prevent the bearing from falling out.
• Before using
• Thoroughly remove dust or dirt from the
stylus point and record.
If
you play records when there
is
dirt/dust
on
the stylus,
not only will the stylus have poor contact with the record
causing poor sound quality, it will also increase the rate
of wear of both the stylus and record. Gently remove
dirt/dust by brushing with a soft tipped brush from the
base of the stylus to the tip. Also wipe the record with a
good quality record cleaner.
• Install the turntable chassis and turntable
so that they are level.
It
is
possible to adjust the height of the legs by rotating
them. However, as there are only 3 legs, the height may
not be adjustable
in
some cases.
In
such cases, adjust the rack itself so that it
is
horizontal.
• About howling and hum
Howling occurs
when
sound from
the
speaker
or
vibration
is
transmitted
to
the
player
and
is
picked
up
by
the
cartridge
again. If howling occurs when the volume
is
increased,
check the positions of the speakers and turntable,
and
move
them
to
locations where neither vibration nor
sound
is
transmitted
to
the
turntable.
Hum
noise occurs because
of
electromagnetic waves that are generated from other
electronic devices. Check the position
of
other electronic
devices that are near to the turntable, especially the
amplifier. Also,
hum
or noise occurs if the ground
is
not
connected correctly. Check that
the
ground wire
is
securely
connected
to
the
GND
terminal
on
the amp/mixer. 2

The section describes the care and maintenance tasks that
must be performed to optimize the operation of your
Marantz equipment.
• Cleaning external surfaces of
equipment
The exterior finish of your unit will last indefinitely with
proper care and cleaning, Never use scouring pads, steel
wool, scourging powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g., lye
solution), alcohol, thinner, benzine, insecticide or
other
volatile substances as these wil mar the finish of the
equipment. Likewise, never use cloths containing chemical
substances. If the equipment gets dirty, wipe the external
surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the equipment becomes heavily soiled:
• dilute some neutral
detergents suitable for acrylic
material.
• dip a soft, lint-free cloth
in the solution and wring the
cloth till
it is damp.
• wipe the equipment with the damp cloth.
• dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth.
• Repairs
In the unlikely event your TT -15S1 should need adjustment
or repairs, contact a Marantz Authorized Service Center.
Their factory trained technicians have the knowledge,
facilities, and access to replacement parts needed for repair
and calibration of your turntable. After the warranty period
has expired, repairs will be performed for a charge if the
equipment can be returned to normal operation.
In the event of difficulty, refer to your Marantz Authorized
Dealer or Marantz Authorized Service Center.
If writing, please include the model and serial number of the
equipment together with a full description of what you think
is abnormal about the equipment's behaviour.
You can find your Marantz Authorized Dealer or Service
Center
on our website "www.marantz.com".
• Approximately every two years you can lubricate (only if
you will recognize speed variations) the bearing of the
center shaft with the delivered oil. In this case it is
enough to put 4 or 5 drops into the center shaft hole in
the turntable chassis.
Be careful not to add too much oil.
