Super Audio CDs have a wide playback frequency
band of 100 kHz that is beyond the audible range:
this means that their signals contain ultra-high-range
components that conventional CDs do not have. A
conventional amplifier is often not built to reproduce
signals containing these components, and when
Super Audio CD signals are output in their original
state, noise may be generated, the amplifier’s
protection circuits may be activated and/or the
speakers may be damaged.
To prevent this sort of trouble from occurring, the
unit incorporates a filter (STANDARD) for attenuating
the ultra-high-range components, and the filter can
be set STANDARD or CUSTOM using a switch on
the rear panel. (This switch is set to STANDARD
when the unit is shipped from the manufacturing
plant.)
When the unit is to be connected with a next-
generation amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs
and set the switch to CUSTOM for use. This will
ensure play with a wider frequency range.
* Use the switch at the STANDARD position if the
unit is to be used with a regular amplifier.
Otherwise, the amplifier and/or speakers may be
damaged.
* Even when the unit has been connected with an
amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs, change
the switch to the STANDARD position when
recording Super Audio CD sound on a tape deck,
for instance.
* Turn the power off before setting this switch. Setting
the switch during play may cause noise to be
generated.
TROUBLE SHOOT-
ING
If you think a malfunction has occurred, first check
the points listed below. The problem is likely to have
been caused by a simple operational error or a
connection problem. If the problem cannot be
corrected even after carrying out the following checks,
consult your dealer or nearest Marantz sales office
or service counter.
• The disc fails to rotate.
1. Is the mains lead plugged in properly?
2. Is the POWER switch ON?
3. Is the disc placed in the correct position on the
disc tray?
4. Is the disc placed properly with the label side facing
up?
5. Is the disc dirty?
6. Is the disc scratched?
7. Is the disc warped?
• The disc is rotating but no sound is heard.
1. Are the amplifier and speakers connected
properly?
2. Is the amplifier switch ON?
3. Is the amplifier’s function or selector switch set to
“CD” or “AUX” or such (to whatever you have
connected this unit to)?
4. Is the amplifier’s volume control set at the minimum
level?
• The disc stops in mid-operation.
The sound drops out or noise is heard.
1. Is the disc dirty?
2. Is the disc scratched?
3. Is the disc warped?
* In the case of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, this problem
may occur when the conditions under which its data
was originally written were substandard or when
the quality of the disc itself is poor.
* This condition may occur in Mixed-Mode CDs, CD
Extra, and other discs that have CDDA format mixed
with other data.
Noise may also be heard momentarily when
skipping tracks.
• Remote control operation is not possible.
1. Is the transmitter of the remote control unit
(RC8400SA) pointed correctly at the remote
sensor on the front of the player (this unit)?
Or is there an obstruction between the transmitter
and the remote sensor?
2. Are the batteries in the remote control unit
exhausted?
3. Is there another strong light (from a window, etc.)
striking the Super Audio CD player’s remote
sensor?
• A Super Audio CD cannot be played.
1. Is the disc scratched, dirty or warped?
2. Is the amplifier’s input selector set to digital?
* Digital audio signal will not be output when a Super
Audio CD is played.
3. Is the disc a Super Audio CD multi-channel only
disc? (This unit does not support Super Audio CD
multi-channel.)
• A CD-R/CD-RW disc cannot be played.
1. Is the disc placed upside down?
2. Is the disc contains properly written TOC?
3. Is the recorded information in an audio (CD-DA)
format?
• A specific CD cannot be played
Copy control CDs (CDs with copy guard) are
special discs that do not comply with current CD
standards. Marantz cannot guarantee the ability
to play such discs on your CD player.
When normal CDs can be played without a
problem and problems occur only when playing
these special discs, it is not a problem with this
unit.
Please ask the seller of the copy control CD for
detailed information regarding copy control CDs.
• The unit makes a clicking sound when the tray
closes
This is the adhesion click of the clamper for
securing the disc. This does not cause any problem
in using the unit.
• While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound
is heard or a slight vibration occur.
Depending on the disc, a spinning sound may
occur or the unit may vibrate slightly due to disc
eccentricity or such. This is not a problem with this
unit.
