ABOUT SUPER AUDIO  
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital  
(DSD) technology. This new direct-stream digital format  
comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency  
that is 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CD.The  
results are spectacular: a frequency response of over 100k  
Hz and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible  
spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as  
possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds  
much more natural.  
HD layer  
HD layer  
CD layer  
HD layer  
And each type may contain two areas of recorded information.  
High quality stereo area  
High quality multi-channel area**  
Single Layer Disc  
It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality  
multi-channel area** information.  
All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in the frequency  
range as emitted by the sound source. A better reproduction  
does not exist! For the first time your ears will relive reality.  
Dual Layer Disc  
It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality  
multi-channel area** information. And a double amount of  
information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second  
layer.  
PLAYING CD-RW DISCS  
Hybrid Layer Disc  
Not only does this disc contain both high sound quality  
stereo area and high sound quality multi-channel area**  
information, it also has a CD layer in the second layer, so it  
can be played on a CD player.  
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well  
as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.  
The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-  
recorded TOC information so that they can be played back.  
In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is  
referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized  
cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and played  
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players.  
For details, please read the instruction manual provided  
with a CD recorder.  
Hybrid Super Audio CD Disc

CD layer that plays on any of your  
existing CD players  
High-Density layer containing:  
- High sound quality stereo

* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains  
information such as the total number of tracks and total  
playing time of the disc.  
-
High sound quality multi-channel**  
This unit can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA  
format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to  
play a disc containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for  
PCs, on this unit.  
As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial  
change of the player setup, it may take longer time for  
reading the TOC information than when an Audio CD or  
CD-R disc is played.  
The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It will be  
shown on the display window of the unit.  
** This unit is a stereo-only player, and so it cannot play  
high-quality multi-channel audio areas. (It does not  
recognize multi-channel areas.)  
2. Audio CD (CDDA)  
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

BEFORE USING  
NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS  
INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR  
INSTALLATION  
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch their  
surfaces.  
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.  
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be sure to use  
the special cleaner and wipe the surfaces in the directions  
shown in the figure below.  
To keep your player in perfect working order for the longest  
possible time, avoid installing the player in the following  
locations.  
Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight  
Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating  
appliance  
Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor  
Wherever it is very dusty  
Wherever it will be subject to vibration  
On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location which is  
tilted at an angle  
In an audio rack with little space at the top and bottom or  
other location where the heat dissipation will be obstructed  
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player while  
leaving clearances between the player and wall or other  
components, as shown in the figure below.  
On top of an amplifier or other component which dissipates  
a great deal of heat  
Wipe the surface radially Do not wipe the surface in

the circumferential direction.  
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the label  
surfaces of the discs.  
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label  
with paste protruding from the edge or when a disc still bears  
traces of sticky tape or adhesive labels, do not attempt to  
play it. If such a disc is played on the CD player, you may  
find that you cannot remove it or that some other kind of  
malfunctioning may occur.  
* The quality of the laser and other components can be  
harmed if the player is placed directly on top of an  
amplifier or other device which generates heat.

No guarantees are made for playback if discs which do not  
satisfy the appropriate CD standards are used.  
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound quality even  
if it is possible to play such discs.  
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid placing them  
in the following locations.  
7 Do not attempt repairs yourself  
Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or where they  
will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating appliance  
Where the humidity level is high or it is very dusty  
Near a window or other such location where they may be  
exposed to rain  
Refrain from lubricating the player: doing so can cause  
malfunctioning.  
Only qualified engineers with specialized expertise are  
authorized to repair the pick-up and parts inside the player.  
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in their cases  
after use.

BEFORE USING  
PRECAUTIONS  
LOADING BATTERIES  
In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the  
windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This  
player uses an optical lens, so the condensation may form  
in the following cases.  
- In a room immediately after the heating has been turned  
on  
- In a room where the humidity level is high  
- When the player has been suddenly brought from a cold  
location into a warm room  
Batteries in this remote control unit have a life of approximately  
1 year under normal operating conditions. If the remote control  
unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time,  
remove the batteries. Also, if you notice that the batteries are  
starting to run down, replace them as soon as possible.  
q Remove the battery cover.  
Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be  
read and the player is prevented from operating properly,  
wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.  
This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If  
this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV  
set.  
Compact discs have much less noise than analog records  
and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in  
mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier  
is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio  
components.  
w Insert the batteries with correct +/orientation.  
Two AAA-size (R03) batteries  
This player is designed to play Super Audio CD and normal  
Audio CDs only. It cannot play CD-ROMs used with  
personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/  
audio).  
We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.  
e Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.  
USING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT  
Cautions on handling batteries  
Misuse of the batteries can result in electrolyte leakage,  
rupturing, corrosion, etc.  
Bear in mind the following points when using batteries.  
7 Remote control  
Operate the remote control unit within a distance of approx. 5  
m from the infrared signal reception window (remote sensor)  
on the front of the Super Audio CD player.  
Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if  
the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period  
(a month or more).  
Remote control operation may not be possible if the remote  
control units transmitter is not pointing in the direction of the  
remote sensor or if there is an obstruction between the  
transmitter and the remote sensor.  
Do not use an old battery together with a new one.  
Insert the batteries while ensuring that their  
and  
poles are properly aligned with the corresponding  
markings on the remote control unit.  
Remote control operating range  
Batteries with the same shape may have different  
voltages. Do not use different types of batteries  
together.  
Approx.  
16.4 ft. (5m)  
If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside  
of the battery compartment, and then insert new  
batteries.  
When batteries which are no longer required are to  
be discarded, follow the directions (regulations) laid  
down by the local authorities in the area concerned  
for their disposal.

AUDIO SETTINGS  
When a Super Audio CD hybrid layer discs that has both a  
Super Audio CD high sound quality stereo area and an Audio  
CD area information are to be played, this player makes it  
possible to set the layer/area (Super Audio CD or Audio CD)  
to be preferentially played.  
The settings can be made using the remote control. The  
settings are retained even if the power is turned off so that you  
can always enjoy tracks with your favorite characteristics.  
To change the settings again, make the changes using the  
same procedure.The settings can be changed when the track  
is stopped.  
This setting can be made when the tray is closed and there is  
no disc in the disc tray.

qNoise shaper operation  
In this unit, you can select noise shaper on or off for play-  
ing tracks.  
The noise shaper is turned on and off by pressing the  
NOISE SHAPER button while the track is stopped. When  
turned on, the NSHP indicator lights up on the LCD.  
* Noise shaping is a type of digital feedback used in the  
algorithms for oversampling. Digital feedback improves  
the linearity of bass sounds and the noise characteristics  
of the audio frequency band. However, this digital feed-  
back is still feedback nonetheless. Generally, in amplifi-  
ers and other equipment, the sound quality changes  
based on the amount of feedback. Low feedback is said  
to result in poor audio characteristics but good sound.  
Although no measurement differences are shown in the  
SA-7S1, the sound quality is changed. Therefore, make  
the setting according to your preferences.  
Caution  
* Start sound mode has a memory retention function where  
the settings remain stored and unchanged even when the  
disc is changed or the power is turned off.  
* At the time of shipment, the sound mode is set to Super  
Audio CD.  
wDC filter operation  
The DC filter is turned on and off by pressing the  
DC FILTER  
button while the track is stopped.When turned  
on, the DCF indicator lights up on the LCD.  
* The DC filter is effective when the speakers vibrate ab-  
normally for discs with recorded audio having extremely  
low noise characteristics. (The cutoff frequency is set to  
1.7Hz.)  
eDigital output off operation  
The digital output function is turned on and off by pressing  
DIGITAL OUT  
the  
button while the track is stopped. When  
digital output is turned off, the D OFF indicator lights up on  
the LCD.  
* When digital output is not used, setting to digital output  
off enables you to enjoy better sound quality.  
Note  
* The noise shaper, DC filter, and digital output off have a  
memory retention function where the settings remain stored  
and unchanged even when the disc is changed or the power  
is turned off.

OPERATION  
7 Filters  
The SA-7S1 is equipped with the PEC 777f2filter, developed with an improved algorithm from the digital filter for CD playback  
PEC777f(Phase Error Compensation 777 filter) that uses Marantz original DSP.  
When playing a super audio CD, the D/A converter internal filter is used.  
The filter has 3 types of built-in characteristics for both Audio CDs and Super Audio CDs, and the characteristics for each are shown  
in the table below. Change these settings according to your own personal preference.  
7 Filter operations  
The filter settings can be made while the track is stopped. The filters shown in the table below are available for providing distinctive  
filtering according to the operation and Audio CD or Super Audio CD.  
Each time the FILTER button is pressed, the filter types cycle from FIL1 FIL2 FIL3 FIL1.  
The filter setting has a memory retention function so that the setting remains stored and unchanged even when the disc is changed  
or the power is turned off.  
Filter Selection Table  
Filter type  
Audio CD  
Super Audio CD  
This filter has short pre-echo and post echo  
characteristics. It carries a lot of sound  
information; therefore very profound sound image  
and a clear sound source are reproduced.  
This is a direct mode that does not perform any  
filtering on the DSD data.The original source data  
is reproduced without any alteration.  
FILTER 1  
This characteristic is known as asymmetrical  
impulse response.The post echo is slightly longer  
than the pre-echo.The analog characteristics are  
slow roll-off characteristics, with well-balanced  
reproduction.  
This filter dampens the section of DSD data that  
exceeds 100kHz. Also, operations within DAC are  
made asymmetrical, priority is given to DAC  
resolution, and the equivalent of 40 multi-levels  
are achieved.  
FILTER 2  
FILTER 3  
Impulse response is the shortest characteristic  
of these filters. It provides high sound definition  
along with a comfortable playback balance.  
This filter attenuates sections of the DSD data that  
exceed 100kHz. In the DAC, it provides fully  
symmetric operation for 23 multi-levels.  
Note: When playing back the high sound quality stereo area in Super Audio CDs, the analog output level varies slightly in  
each filter.

OPERATION  
USING A MASTER CLOCK  
7 Using a master clock generator  
GENERATOR WHEN PLAYING DISCS  
for playback  
It is recommended that you connect a master clock generator  
that outputs very high accuracy clock signals.  
The master clock generator  
In digital devices such as CD players or super audio CDs,  
there is a process that samples or restores the analog signal.  
In order to conduct this process, a clock signal (sampling  
frequency) is used.  
A master clock generator is an oscillation device that makes  
this clock signal.  
t, u yq, r  
In recent years, research has found that the difference in clock  
signals causes differences in tone quality. In response to this  
finding, many companies have released master clock  
generators capable of outputting a highly precise clock signal.  
Generally speaking, the time base of the clock signal output  
from a master clock generator is exact, with few fluctuating  
components (jitter), thus providing a higher-quality sound  
playback.  
Furthermore, the more precise the clock signal time base is,  
the closer it is to the natural time base of the sound, thus  
enabling the reproduction of higher fidelity sound.  
The clock signal output by the crystal oscillator built into this  
unit is extremely accurate, enabling you to fully enjoy high  
quality sound playback. However, you can also perform  
playback using the clock signal output from an external master  
clock generator, to enjoy the difference in the sound quality  
that the master clock generator can provide.  
q Switch off the power supply.  
w Connect the EXT. CLOCK INPUT connector on the rear of  
this unit to the output connector of the master clock  
generator using a commercially available BNC terminal  
coaxial cable. (See page 11)  
e Switch on the power of the master clock generator, and  
check the clock frequency to set. For details on this  
operation, please refer to the instruction manual that came  
with your master clock generator.  
r Press the POWER switch on this unit to switch on the power  
supply.  
t When the units LCD display is on, press the EXT. CLOCK  
button on the front of the unit.  
y Each time the EXT. CLOCK button is pressed, the clock  
frequency indicator lights in the window, in the order shown  
below.  
The frequency of the clock signal that can be input into this  
unit is 44.1, 88.2, or 176.4kHz. Use a master clock generator  
that is capable of outputting these signals.  
OFF (Internal clock operates)  
44.1 kHz  
88.2 kHz  
176.4 kHz  
u Press the EXT. CLOCK button to match the frequency with  
the clock frequency set in the master clock generator, and  
when the LOCK indicator switches on, the settings are  
complete.  
You will be able to hear the changes in sound quality by  
changing the clock signal. Set the frequency to your own  
personal tastes.  
Caution  
Switch between the master clock generator and the internal  
clock when playback is stopped to prevent excessive sound  
occurrence from the speaker.  
Sound will be muted when the LOCK indicator blinks. Check  
the settings of your master clock generator, the connections  
etc. During this time, the DIGITAL OUTPUT signal will not  
be muted.  
The information after this operation is stored by the last  
memory function even after the power is switched OFF.

OPERATION  
TIMER PLAY  
ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR  
PHASE SWITCHING  
This unit can perform timer play by cooperating with your audio  
timer.  
Connect this units power cord to the audio timers power socket  
and the timers power cord to power outlet.  
By digitally processing audio signals read by this unit, it is  
possible to perform phase inversion without changing the tone  
quality.  
* For connection to audio timer and its operation, please refer  
to the instruction manual of your audio timer.  
Inverted signals are output from the UNBALANCED output  
connector, and the BALANCED output connector interchanges  
between HOT and COLD signals.  
As the USA system has been adopted for the BALANCED  
output connector, if the amp or other device used with this unit  
is a European system device, a phase inversion cable would  
normally need to be used to playback with the correct phase.  
However, by pressing the INV. PHASE button on this unit, you  
can listen to the correct phase without replacing the cable.  
Audio Timer  
Moreover, if a disc that has been recorded with the incorrect  
phase is being played, you can play it in the correct phase by  
pressing the INV. PHASE button.  
To change the mode  
Setting method of Timer Play  
Every time the INV. PHASE button on the front of this unit is  
pressed, the phase of the signal being output from the  
ANALOG OUTPUTS connector (BALANCED, UNBALANCED)  
is inverted. The indicator flashes during inverted playback.  
q Press POWER switch to turn ON the power.  
w Insert the disc to be played.  
* In timer play mode, tracks are played normally.  
e Set the audio timer.

ABOUT BALANCED JACKS  
q The balanced output connector uses a XLR connector.  
w The XLR connector for professional use is internally wired  
in either of the following two systems.  
Caution  
1. USA system (Pin w= COLD, Pin e= HOT)  
If switching is performed during playback, sound output is  
stopped for approximately one second to prevent the  
occurrence of unnecessary noise.  
COLD w q

e The SA-7S1 uses the 1. USA system.  
When a preamp or main amplifier adopting the European  
system is connected using a cable with XLR balanced  
connectors, the reproduced signal may be inverted of  
phase.  
In this case, refer to ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTOR  
PHASE SWITCHING, and set so that the correct phase  
is used.

TROUBLE SHOOTING  
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.  
A Super Audio CD cannot be played.  
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?  
1. Is the disc scratched, dirty or warped?  
2. Is the amplifiers 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.)  
6. Is the disc scratched?  
7. Is the disc warped?  
A CD-R/CD-RW disc cannot be played.  
8. Is EXT. CLOCK (BNC terminal) connected? Also, is it set  
correctly?  
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?  
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 amplifiers function or selector switch set to CDor  
AUXor such (to whatever you have connected this unit  
to)?  
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.  
4. Is the amplifiers volume control set at the minimum level?  
* Occasionally, sound may stop if the equipment is installed  
near an air conditioning unit or refrigerator. If this problem  
occurs, either switch the main power off and on again, or  
press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open and close the tray,  
then try playing the disc again.  
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.  
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?  
While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound is heard  
or a slight vibration occur.  
* 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.  
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.  
* 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 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 players remote sensor?
