Bi-Wire coNNectioNs  
BI-WIRE connection is a technique for improving sound quality. It connects speaker systems and an amplifier,  
using two speaker cables; one for mid-to-high range speakers and another for bass speakers.  
It eliminates the influence on a mid-to-high range speaker unit due to back electromotive force generated  
by the bass speaker unit.  
coNNectiNg remote coNtrol JacKs  
The REMOTE CONTROL jacks are for connecting components that are capable of remote control (D.BUS  
jacks) such as a Marantz CD Player or DVD Player. This enables these other components to be operated  
with the remote controller included with the unit. The unit comes with the system remote controller that  
can operate the basic features of Marantz CD Players and DVD Players. Here, a brief explanation of how to  
control the unit and CD Player using this remote controller is provided.  
For BI-WIRE connection, a speaker system must comply with the BI-WIRE connection specifications. Refer  
to the instruction manual supplied with the speaker system.  
As shown in the illustration below, connect the REMOTE CONTROL IN” jack of the CD Player to the  
REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of the unit, and set the CD Player switch to EXTERNAL .  
Both this model and CD Player can be operated by pointing the remote controller at the receptor of this  
model.  
Connect a mid-to-high range speaker via the SYSTEM A terminals and a bass speaker via the SYSTEM B  
terminals. Then set the SPEAKER knob on the front panel in the A+B position.

BeFore coNsideriNg it as a Failure  
iF the maiN-ampliFier oVerheats  
aBout the protectiVe circuit  
The protective circuit is activated if the temperature  
of the main-amplifier section rises above a certain  
level, which can happen if the amplifier is continually  
used with excessive signal flow being input into  
it. The protective circuit is also activated when  
the set operating temperature is exceeded, which  
can happen if the vents on top of the amplifier are  
covered, or if the amplifier is installed on a cramped  
audio rack. In these cases, the MUTE indicator  
flashes, and the volume is automatically reduced.  
Approximately 15 seconds later, the protective  
circuit is released, therefore the volume needs  
readjusting to continue normal use.  
In case of trouble with this component, first check the following before calling for service.  
What seems to be a serious malfunction is often due to a simple operation mistake.  
If the trouble is not fixed after making the following checks, contact the place of purchase, your nearest  
Marantz dealer, our customer service center, or our repair service center.  
This unit is equipped with a protective circuit to  
protect the amplifier circuits and speaker system  
against damage.  
If the protective circuit is activated, the sound is  
instantly muted.  
In this case, either the MUTE indicator flashes, or  
the STANDBY indicator above the POWER ON/OFF  
button flashes.  
Phenomenon  
Causes  
Actions  
The power cable is disconnected.  
Check the power cable connections.  
Turn the INPUT SELECTOR knob or  
press the POWER ON button on the  
remote controller.  
The unit is in STANDBY mode.  
The protection circuit is activated.  
Power is not supplied.  
at poWer oN  
If the STANDBY indicator is flashing,  
turn the power OFF, then ON again  
after 1 minute or more.  
For about 8 seconds after the power is turned on,  
the protective circuit is activated muting the sound  
to give the amplifier circuits time to stabilize. Once  
the amplifier circuits stabilize, the protective circuit  
releases and audio is enabled.  
If the temperature does not sufficiently lower  
within a certain amount of time after the protective  
circuit activation, the power shuts OFF and the  
STANDBY indicator above the POWER ON/OFF  
button flashes.  
Speaker connection is incomplete.  
Input cord connection is incomplete.  
Check the speaker cable connection.  
Check the input cable connection.  
The INPUT SELECTOR knob is not set  
correctly.  
Set the INPUT SELECTOR knob  
properly.  
Turn the VOLUME knob to the proper  
level.  
iN the eVeNt oF oVercurreNt  
The VOLUME knob is set to minimum.  
Power is supplied, but no  
sound is heard from the  
speaker.  
Theprotectivecircuitisactivatedifcurrentexceeding  
a certain level is detected, which can happen if  
excessive signal flow is input to the amplifier or if  
the unit is connected to a speaker system of less  
than 4Ω impedance. The protective circuit is also  
activated if a speaker cable shorts.  
In these cases, the MUTE indicator flashes, and  
the volume is automatically reduced. Approximately  
15 seconds later the protective circuit is released,  
therefore the volume needs readjusting to continue  
normal use.  
iN the eVeNt oF ampliFier trouBle  
The SPEKAERS knob is set to OFF.  
Setting of the SPEAKERS knob is  
incorrect.  
Set the SPEAKERS knob properly  
according to the SPEAKER terminals  
to which the speakers are connected.  
The protective circuit is activated and the power is  
automatically shut OFF if an abnormality is detected  
in the power circuit. The same happens if the main  
fuse inside the amplifier blows. In these cases, the  
STANDBY indicator above the POWER ON/OFF  
button flashes.  
In cases as mentioned above, immediately  
disconnect the power cord, and contact the place of  
purchase,yournearestMarantzdealer,ourcustomer  
service center, or our repair service center.  
Setting of the POWER AMP DIRECT  
button is incorrect.  
Set the POWER AMP DIRECT button  
properly.  
If the MUTE indicator is lit, press the  
MUTE button on the remote controller  
to release the MUTE function.  
The MUTE function is activated.

right speakers only.  
Setting of the BALANCE knob is  
incorrect.  
Set the BALANCE knob properly.  
Moreover,iftheovercurrentcontinues,theamplifier s  
power shuts OFF and the STANDBY indicator above  
the POWER ON/OFF button flashes.  
Left and right channels are  
reversed.  
Connection of left and right speaker  
cords or input cords is reversed.

Check the connection to the PHONO  
input jacks.  
The protective circuit is also activated if ultra-  
bass signals that exceed the base signal range  
settings are input. In this case, the MUTE indicator  
flashes, and the volume is automatically reduced.  
Approximately 15 seconds later, the protective  
circuit is released, therefore the volume needs  
readjusting to continue normal use. If excessive  
ultra-bass signal input continues or if DC voltage  
is detected due to trouble with the amplifier, the  
power shuts OFF and the STANDBY indicator above  
the POWER ON/OFF button flashes.
