FEATURES  
BEFORE USE  
High-sound-quality design based on the pure  
surround concept  
This 8-channel power amplifier comes with upgraded  
functions and supports the latest format of surround  
sound without compromising the design technology  
of Marantz's flagship models.  
This section must be read before any connection is  
made to the mains supply.

or more  
A chimney-type heat sink and extremely quiet  
cooling fan deal with the heat that is discharged  
from the 8-channel amplifier to a high degree of  
efficiency. A high-precision temperature sensor IC  
is used to adjust the rotational speed of the cooling  
fan in response to the changes in the amount of heat  
generated by the amplifier.  
Thesefeaturestogethermakeforlavishspecifications  
well suited to the amplifier's use in high-end theater  
systems, which are engineered to ensure virtually  
noiseless operation.  
The amplifier's chassis is copper-plated to protect  
the analog audio circuitry from high-frequency  
noise. This is an important technological aspect  
for reproducing sound without compromising the  
delicately nuanced sound fields of Super Audio.  
In addition, top-of-the-line audio capacitors, film  
capacitors and other high-quality components are  
used to achieve a high-sound-quality design.

The MM8003 features in all 8 channels the current  
feedback type of power amplifier, which uses the  
complementary push-pull circuitry incorporated  
in Marantz's SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Amplifier.  
This improves the model's operating stability and  
enables it to achieve high-density, high-speed sound  
reproduction across a wide sound range.  
In the rear section the power amplifier is a current/  
voltage conversion amplifier unit that employs a  
Wilson current mirror circuit for amplifying sound up  
to the treble range at low distortion levels.  
MM8003 can be powered by 120V AC only.

LAPT (high-performance power transistor), which is  
featured in Marantz's model SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power  
Amplifier. This device improves the instantaneous  
current supply capability.  
DO NOT LOCATE IN THE FOLLOWING PLACES  
BALANCED/UNBALANCED switching function  
This function makes it possible to select BALANCED  
or UNBALANCED input each channel depending on  
the application.  
KEEP OBJECTS OFF  
To ensure long-lasting use, do not locate the unit  
where:  
• Exposed to direct sunlight.  
Keep objects off the unit. Blocking the vent can result  
in accident and damage.  
• Near to sources of heat such as heaters.  
• Highly humid or poorly ventilated.  
• Dusty.  
Copper bus bars are featured in the unit that supplies  
the power to each channel.  
Remote power control  
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SPOTS DURING AND  
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE  
By connecting the amplifier to Marantz's model  
AV8003 AV pre-tuner, the amplifier's power can be  
switched on or off in tandem with the power on/off  
operation of the AV8003 using the remote power  
control function.  
A floating ground connection that doesn’t form a  
ground loop is used for the connection with the  
AV8003 so the sound quality is not adversely  
affected.  
The power supply unit has a large toroidal transformer  
that delivers low levels of noise and leakage flux  
thanks to its internal structural features such as its  
laminated core, silicon steel-plated core ring,etc.,  
and the use of its shielded casing.  
Original Marantz parts with a combined capacitance  
of 100,000 µF (50,000µF/71V × 2), which have been  
specially crafted to achieve the maximum in terms of  
sound quality, are employed in the block capacitor, a  
key component of the power supply unit.  
During and immediately after use, the unit is hot  
in areas other than the controls and rear panel  
connection jacks. Do not touch hot spots and  
especially the top panel. Contact with hot areas can  
cause burns.  
• Subjected to mechanical vibrations.  
• On wobbly, inclined or otherwise unstable  
surfaces  
• Radiated heat is blocked such as in cramped  
audio racks.  
To ensure proper heat radiation, ensure the below  
clearance from walls and other equipment.  
Thanks to the improvements in the current supply  
capability of these parts, you can enjoy high-powered  
sound brimming with ambiance.  
Other functions  
Also provided are an IR flasher input connector to  
support customized installation, and DC trigger input  
connector and output connectors.

Notes:  
• Speakers come with "+" and "-" terminals. When connecting the speakers to the amplifier, connect their "+"  
terminals to the "+" connectors on the amplifier and, similarly, connect their "-" terminals to the "-" connectors.  
If a "+" terminal is connected to a "-" connector, the signal phase will be reversed, and the music played through  
the speakers will sound unnatural. Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers, and properly reconnect the  
speakers.  
• Connect speaker systems with an impedance of at least 6 Ω to the amplifier. If speakers with an impedance of under  
6 Ω are used and sound is played at high volume levels for prolonged periods, the amplifier may experience an  
extreme rise in temperature, tripping the protection circuit.  
• If the AV8003 AV pre-tuner is connected to the amplifier and one surround back speaker is to be used, connect the  
speaker to the surround back left channel (SBL).  
If this is the case, the setting must be performed on theAV8003. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the  
AV8003.) When using a control amplifier other than the AV8003, follow the operating instructions of the amplifier  
used, and connect the speaker properly.

TIPS ON SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
POWER CABLE CONNECTION  
USING AC OUTLETS  
How the speakers should be placed depends on the room size and other factors. An example of how the  
speakers are normally placed and some placement tips are given here.  
Connect the power cable after all the connections  
have been completed.  
Power can be supplied from the amplifier's AC outlet  
(UNSWITCHED) to another component up to a  
maximum power consumption of 150 W.  
The amplifier's AC outlet is an UNSWITCHED  
(unswitched) type, which means that the power can  
be supplied at all times regardless of whether the  
amplifier power is on or off.  
Surround R  
Plug the accessory power cable into the AC IN

Warning:  
Do NOT connect a component that exceeds the  
absolute allowable power rating. Doing so may cause  
a fire and/or electric shock.  
• Front left and right speakers  
• Surround left and right speakers  
It is recommended that the front left and right  
speakers be positioned at an angle of 45 to 60  
degrees from each other as viewed from the listening  
position.  
These speakers are needed to play surround sound.  
Place them against the walls in line with the listening  
position or slightly behind it. Position them so that  
the center of the speaker front panels point toward  
the center the room.  
Connect the plug on the power cable to the wall  
socket (AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
2.  
* Ensurethatthetotalpowerconsumptionofthe  
amplifier and other components connected to  
the socket does not exceed the capacity of  
the socket.  
• Center speaker  
This speaker is placed so that its front panel is in  
line with the front panels of the front left and right  
speakers or slightly behind them.  
• Surround back left and right speakers  
Place these speakers behind the listening position as  
shown in the figure.  
Notes:  
• Insert the power plug firmly. Noise may be caused  
by an incomplete connection.  
Height at which to place the front left and right  
speakers and center speaker  
Place the three front speakers (left, right and center)  
so that their mid-range and high-range units will be  
positioned at more or less the same height from the  
floor as much as possible.  
Height at which to place the surround left and  
right speakers and surround back left and right  
speakers  
Place these speakers at a height of 70 cm to 1 meter  
above the listener.  
By placing the speakers at this height, the sound  
source will not be localized at any specific position,  
and the listener will feel more surrounded and  
enveloped by the sound.  
• Do not connect the amplifier to the AC outlet of  
another product. Product malfunctioning may occur  
if the capacity of the AC outlet is exceeded.  
70cm 1m  
Note:  
When placing speakers close to a TV set, use  
magnetically shielded speakers for the front left and  
right speakers and center speaker.

TURNING THE POWER ON  
Standby indicator  
Press the POWER ON/STANDBY switch.  
1.  
2.  
Sound is output after the standby indicator goes off and the illumination lamp has blinked for about 7  
seconds.  
8CH POWER AMPLIFIER MM8003  
The sound output is delayed because of the activation of the muting circuit, which prevents noise from being output  
until the amplifier's circuitry operates stably after the power has been turned on.  
(The illumination lamp is lit while the amplifier is operating.)  
Note:  
Before turning the power on, turn down the volume controls on the connected components.  
STANDBY  
POWER ON/STANDBY  
TURNING THE POWER OFF  
Press the POWER ON/STANDBY switch.

The illumination lamp goes off, the standby indicator lights, and the amplifier goes into standby mode.  
Note:  
Illumination lamp  
Power is still supplied to some circuits even while the amplifier is in standby mode.  
Disconnect the power cable plug from the power outlet when you leave home for a prolonged period.  
Make sure you can disconnect the plug from the power outlet at any time in order to prevent possible accidents.

ADVANCED CONNECTIONS  
BI-AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS  
Four channels of this unit's power amplifiers are used to achieve bi-amplifier connections to the front speaker  
systems.  
Before connecting the speaker systems, check that they support bi-amplifier connections.  
Notes:  
• Balanced cables are used in the connection example shown. (Unbalanced cables can also be used for bi-amplifier  
connections.)  
• If the front speaker systems are used in combination with the AV8003 in a bi-amplifier connection, sound will no  
longer be heard from the surround back channels.  
What are "bi-amplifier connections"?  
This is a technique for enhancing sound quality, and it involves connecting separate power amplifiers to the  
bass and mid-range/treble speakers.  
By adopting this technique, interference in the mid-range and treble sound caused by the back electromotive  
force generated by the bass speaker unit can be minimized, improving the sound that can be delivered through  
the front speakers.
