Cautions on handling
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.
- Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty, preventing it from receiving signals properly.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside the unit, causing it to fail to operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that occurs, move the mobile phone away from the unit when it is in use.
- Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the cables connected to other system units before moving the unit.

Set the speaker output for the unit to match the speaker connections made to terminals A and B (page 28 "Setting the speakers"). The default setting is SPEAKER A.
NOTE
Be sure to lower the audio volume before making speaker settings.
Connecting the speaker cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and - (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
1 Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or apply solder to it.
2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to all the way into the speaker terminal.
4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
NOTE
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 8 Ω. The protection circuit may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specified are used.
Connect the speaker cables so they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other (CB page 10 "Protection circuit").
Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
ENGLISH
Speaker connections
Protectioncircuit
The protection circuit is be activated in the following situations:
If the speaker cable wire touches the rear panel or screws or if the speaker cable wire touches the speaker cable's + and - sides are touching
If the surrounding temperature is extremely high
If the inside of the amplifier gets hot to extended use at a high output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections of the speaker cables and input cables. If the unit becomes very hot, wait for it to cool off and improve the ventilation around it. After doing this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated even though there are no problems with the ventilation around the unit or in connections, the unit may be damaged. Turn off the power and then contact a Marantz service center.
