Marantz PM-16 User Manual

Thank you very much for purchasing Marantz product.
The PM-16 integrated amplifier is a system product which is “tuned
up” with first priority on the sound quality. The know-how of Marantz
is concentrated in this system to perform music with excellent sound
quality that you have just received on the stage between the left and
right speakers.
The PM-16 use three types of parts as common parts to improve the
sound quality. The toroidal transformer is a part featuring high power
supply capability and small vibration of the transformer, and has very
small leakage flux thus the adverse effects on the musical signal due
to the leakage flux is almost null. The copper-plated chassis eliminate
the influence of high frequencies inside the cabinet on the musical
signal. The thick top cover reduces the influence of mechanical
vibration due to internal and external sources of vibration. All of these
parts play very important roles in achieving a clear separation of
acoustic image, improving the signal-to-noise ratio as noticed by the
human years and reproducing a stereo image with a three-
dimensional feeling.

MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING
Your Marantz product has been designed to comply with the
household power and safety requirements in your area.
The /02 version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.
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 7+ 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
