EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product has been prepared to comply with the household
power and safety requirements that exist in your area.
“/02” Version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.
On the rear panel of the “/01” Version product, a voltage selector (2-
position) is provided. Be sure to set the voltage selector to the mains
voltage of your area before using the unit.
IMPORTANT: (For UK version only)
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI ap-
proved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not
be greater than 5A.
NOTE:
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-
ing code:
BLUE—“NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN—“LIVE” (“L”)
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which
is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.
