• 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 a music 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.
INTRODUCTION
BEFORE USING
** This unit is a stereo-only player, so cannot
playback the high sound quality multi-channel
area.
PRODUCT FEATURES
NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS
This unit can playback the outstanding sound
performance in Super Audio CD. This unit has the
following unique features.
* 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.
APPLICABLE DISCS TO THE UNIT
1. Super Audio CD
2. Audio CD (CDDA)
• D/A converter section that accurately converts
DSD/CD signal into high-quality analog signal with
the DEM(Dynamic Element Matching) Super
DAC(CS4397).
• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-
speed current-feedback-type output amplifier with
the differential input type HDAM.
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.
There are three types of Super Audio CDs.
• Single-layer Disc
• Text information display function that can display
disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD.
• Dual-layer Disc
• Hybrid-layer Disc
• CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.
•

ABOUT SUPER AUDIO
Single-layer Disc
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the
label surfaces of the discs.
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 50k 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.
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.
HD layer
HD layer
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.
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.
• 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
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary music CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
* Do not use discs which come in special shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that some
other kind of malfunctioning may occur in the player.
• 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.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC information so that they
can be played back.With the CD recorder system,
writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to
as finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized
as a CD disc and played back unless it has been
finalized properly. For details, please read the
instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.

PRECAUTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor
• Wherever it is very dusty
• 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.
Operate the remote control unit (RC8400SA) within
a distance of approx. 5 m from the infrared signal
reception window (remote sensor) on the front of the
Super Audio CD player.
Remote control operation may not be possible if the
remote control unit’s transmitter is not pointing in the
direction of the remote sensor or if there is an
obstruction between the transmitter and the remote
sensor.
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the
inside of the battery compartment, and then
insert new batteries.
• Wherever it will be subject to vibration
• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location
which is tilted at an angle
• 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.
- In a room immediately after the heating has
been turned on
• On top of an amplifier or other component which
dissipates a great deal of heat
- In a room where the humidity level is high
• In an audio rack with little space at the top and
bottom or other location where the heat dissipation
will be obstructed
- When the player has been suddenly brought
from a cold location into a warm room
Remote control operating range
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.
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.
LOADING BATTERIES
• 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.
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.

* Digital audio signal will not be output when a Super
Audio CD is played.
Super Audio CDs have a wide playback frequency
band of 100 kHz that is beyond the audible range:
this means that their signals contain ultra-high-range
components that conventional CDs do not have. A
conventional amplifier is often not built to reproduce
signals containing these components, and when
Super Audio CD signals are output in their original
state, noise may be generated, the amplifier’s
protection circuits may be activated and/or the
speakers may be damaged.
4. Is the disc placed properly with the label side facing
up?
3. Is the disc a Super Audio CD multi-channel only
disc? (This unit does not support Super Audio CD
multi-channel.)

q Press POWER switch to turn ON the power.
To prevent this sort of trouble from occurring, the
unit incorporates a filter (STANDARD) for attenuating
the ultra-high-range components, and the filter can
be set STANDARD or CUSTOM using a switch on
the rear panel. (This switch is set to STANDARD
when the unit is shipped from the manufacturing
plant.)

2. Is the amplifier switch ON?
• A specific CD cannot be played
* In timer play mode, tracks are played normally.
3. Is the amplifier’s function or selector switch set to
“CD” or “AUX” or such (to whatever you have
connected this unit to)?
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.
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.
e Set the audio timer.
4. Is the amplifier’s volume control set at the minimum
level?
When the unit is to be connected with a next-
generation amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs
and set the switch to CUSTOM for use. This will
ensure play with a wider frequency range.
• The disc stops in mid-operation.
The sound drops out or noise is heard.
1. Is the disc dirty?
Please ask the seller of the copy control CD for
detailed information regarding copy control CDs.
* Use the switch at the STANDARD position if the
unit is to be used with a regular amplifier.
Otherwise, the amplifier and/or speakers may be
damaged.
2. Is the disc scratched?
3. Is the disc warped?
• The unit makes a clicking sound when the tray
closes
* 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.
* Even when the unit has been connected with an
amplifier that supports Super Audio CDs, change
the switch to the STANDARD position when
recording Super Audio CD sound on a tape deck,
for instance.
This is the adhesion click of the clamper for
securing the disc.This does not cause any problem
in using the 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.
• While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound
is heard or a slight vibration occur.
* Turn the power off before setting this switch. Setting
the switch during play may cause noise to be
generated.
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.
