EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety
requirements in your area.
"102" Version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.
There is a voltage selector (2-position) on the rear panel of the “/01” and "K*
Version product,. Be sure to set the voltage selector to the mains voltage
of your area before using the unit.
IMPORTANT:
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
approved 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
following 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.

COMPACT DISCS
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the
side on which the label is printed is the back. ,
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the CD-17 Com-
pact Disc Player reads the information recorded on the disc from under-
neath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the
performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog
records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations:
- In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.
— Ina place which is damp or dirty.
- Ina place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.
Always keep the disc surface clean.
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When
cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc
cleaner and wipe as shown below.
Do not wipe in circumferential direc-
Wipe in a radial direction. :
tion.
¢ Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog recorts , as
this will adversely affect the disc surface.
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.
