Speaker A/B connection
This unit is equipped with two sets of speaker terminals (SPEAKER A and
SPEAKER B). One set of speakers can be connected to each set of terminals, and
a total of two sets of speakers can be connected. The same signal is output
from the SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B terminals. When only one set of speakers is
to be connected, use either the SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminals.

This connection limits the effects of signal interference between the high
range speakers (tweeters) and low range speakers (woofers), allowing you to
enjoy high quality playback. When bi-wiring with bi-wireable speakers, connect
the mid and high range terminals to SPEAKERS B (or SPEAKERS A), the low range
terminals to SPEAKERS A (or SPEAKERS B).

Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, tuners, Blu-ray disc players, network audio players and CD players to this unit. This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer. If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise from the speakers.

purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the
noise can be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the
ground line may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it
is not necessary to connect the ground line.

Using this unit as a power amplifier
When connecting a pre-amplifier and using this unit as a power amplifier,
switch the input source of this unit to “PWR AMP”.
1 Turn the INPUT selector on the main unit to switch the input source to “PWR
AMP”. “PWR AMP” is displayed on the display.

tone has no effect. Adjust these adjustments on the pre-amplifier.
0 When the remote control code setting is set to “AMP1” (Default), INPUT ml on
the remote control cannot be used to switch the input source to “PWR AMP” or
switch from “PWR AMP” to another input source. To make remote control
operations, change the remote control code setting to “AMP2” or “AMP3”. (v p.
33)
NOTE 0 When the input source is “PWR AMP”, the main unit outputs at maximum
volume.
Check the output level on the input device before playing it and adjust the
volume accordingly.
Recording

The power turns off and the protection circuit indicator shows one long blink
and four short blinks in orange.
0 The protection circuit has been activated due to a rise in temperature
within this unit. Turn the power off, wait about an hour until this unit cools
down sufficiently, and then turn the power on again.
0 Please re-install this unit in a place having good ventilation. 0 Stop
playback on the playback device, and then turn the power off and on again.
The power turns off and the protection circuit indicator shows one long blink
and five short blinks in orange.
0 Check the speaker connections. The protection circuit may have been
activated because speaker cable core wires came in contact with each other or
a core wire was disconnected from the connector and came in contact with the
rear panel of this unit. After unplugging the power cord, take corrective
action such as firmly re-twisting the core wire or taking care of the
connector, and then reconnect the wire. (v p. 14)
0 Stop playback on the playback device, and then turn the power off and on
again. 0 If the problem is not solved by turning the power off and on again,
this unit’s amplifier circuit or power circuit has failed. Unplug the power
cord and

Operations cannot be performed through the remote control unit.
0 Batteries are worn out. Replace with new batteries. (v p. 5) 0 Operate the
remote control unit within a distance of about 7 m from this unit and at an
angle of within 30°. (v p. 5) 0 Remove any obstacle between this unit and the
remote control unit. 0 Insert the batteries in the proper direction, checking
the q and w marks. (v p. 5) 0 The set’s remote control sensor is exposed to
strong light (direct sunlight, inverter type fluorescent bulb light, etc.).
Move the set to a place in which the
remote control sensor will not be exposed to strong light. 0 When using a 3D
video device, the remote control unit of this unit may not function due to
effects of infrared communications between units (such as TV
and glasses for 3D viewing). In this case, adjust the direction of units with
the 3D communications function and their distance to ensure they do not affect
operations from the remote control unit of this unit. 0 The remote control
code of the volume buttons on the remote control (VOLUME no and 🙂 is set to
the mode for operating a Marantz Network CD player. If the volume of this unit
cannot be adjusted using the remote control, press and hold ENTER and the
number 1 button together for 5 seconds or more to change the remote control
code to AMP operation mode. 0 When the remote control code setting is set to
“AMP1” (Default), the INPUT ml buttons on the remote control cannot be used to
switch the input source to “PWR AMP” or switch from “PWR AMP” to another input
source. To make remote control operations, change the remote control code
setting to “AMP2” or “AMP3”. (v p. 33) 0 The remote control code between this
unit and the remote control is different. Set this unit and the remote control
to the same remote control code. (v p. 33) 0 When using this unit

Explanation of terms
Source direct Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as
input audio signals are output by bypassing the tone control circuits (BASS/
TREBLE/BALANCE).
Speaker impedance This is an AC resistance value, indicated in (ohms). Greater
power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Protection circuit This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the
power supply when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or
over temperature for any reason.
