OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
• In the winter you may notice that condensation forms on the window
of a well-heated room.
Condensation may also occur inside the SACD player in the following
situations:
– When the listening room is first heated.
– When the humidity in the room is high.
– When the unit is moved from a cold environment to a warm room.
• If condensation occurs, the number of tracks cannot be read and the
SACD player may not function properly. If this happens, leave the
power ON and wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
• The SACD player may interfere with the reception of your tuner or TV
set. If this occurs, place the SACD player farther away from the tuner
or TV.
• The SACD player features very little noise compared to analog
records, and the noise before actual playback begins is almost
inaudible. Therefore, be careful not to set the volume control of the
amplifier too high, otherwise other audio components such as the
speakers may be damaged when actual playback starts.
CLEANING OF EXTERIOR SURFACES
With proper care and cleaning, the exterior finish of your equipment will
last indefinitely. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring powders
or harsh chemical agents (e.g. lye solution), alcohol, thinners,benzine,
insecticide or other volatile substances, as these will mar the finish of the
cabinet. Likewise, never use cloths containing chemical substances. If
the equipment becomes dirty, wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-
free cloth.
If the cabinet becomes heavily soiled:
– dilute some washing-up liquid in water, in a ratio of one part detergent
to six parts water;
– dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the solution and wring the cloth out until it
is damp;
– wipe the equipment with the damp cloth;
– dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth.

allowed to service the equipment. The Marantz company and its factory-
trained warranty station personnel have the knowledge and special
facilities needed for the repair and calibration of this precision equip-
ment. After the warranty period has expired, repairs will be performed for
