Marantz 6300 - Page 4

PREPARATION
FOR
USE
TURNTABLE
LOCATION
Optimum
performance
will
be
secured
from
the
suspension
system
and
tone
arm
by
placing
the
unit
on
a
flat,
level,
vibration-free
surface
that
is
resistant
to
accidental
jarring
or
impact.
The
Model
6300
is
equipped
with
mounting
feet
which
are
designed
to
suppress
acoustic
feedback.
Nevertheless,
it
is
considered
standard
practice
to
avoid
installing
the
turntable
on
or
near
speaker
enclosures.
The
power
transformers
used
in
amplifiers
can
produce
large
magnetic
fields.
If
a
magnetic
phono
cartridge
is
operated
within
such
a
magne-
tic
field,
hum
may
be
produced.
Therefore,
avoid
placing
the
turntable
near
a
large
power
amplifier.
LEVELING THE BASE
The vertical height of each of the mounting feet
can
be
adjusted
by
twisting
the
outer
ring
on
each
foot.
As
viewed
from
the
top,
clockwise
rotation
will
elevate
the
base,
and
conversely,
counter-
clockwise
rotation
of
the
adjustment
will
lower
the base.
Adjust
the
feet
so
that
the
weight
of
the
base
is
distributed
evenly
and
squarely.
The
top
surface
of
the
base
should
be
level.
PHONO CARTRIDGE
Any high quality stereo phono cartridge will
provide
excellent
results
with
the
Marantz
6300,
including
cartridges
designed
for
CD-4
four
chan-
nel reproduction. If you haven't already obtained
a cartridge, your Marantz dealer can assist you in
selecting one which will suit your audio needs.
CARTRIDGE SHELLS
The Model 6300 is supplied with two cartridge
shells. Two shells are provided to facilitate sub-
stituting one cartridge for another. (It is far easier
to
interchange
and
compare
two
different
cart-
ridges
if
they
are
already
mounted
in
shells!)
If
you wish to interchange more than two cart-
ridges,
additional
shells
may
be
obtained
from
your
Marantz
dealer.
The
spare
shell
can
be
kept
in the receptacle located on the surface of the
base.
MOUNTING THE CARTRIDGE
When working with your phono cartridge, be
careful
not
to
damage
the
stylus.
Once
it
becomes
bent
by
rough
handling,
it
cannot
be
straightened;
it must be replaced. If the cartridge is equipped
with
a
protective
clip,
keep
the
clip
attached
until
after
the
cartridge
shell
is
installed
on
the
tone
arm,
