Frequently Asked Questions - CD4000 MARANTZ
What disc formats can the Marantz CD4000 play?
The CD4000 plays standard audio CDs and CD-RWs. It is not designed to play DVDs, SACDs, or MP3 files on CD-ROM. For burned CD-Rs, compatibility depends on the quality of the media and the burner used.
What outputs are available on the CD4000?
The player has a stereo analog output (RCA, level 2.0 Vrms) and a coaxial digital output (0.5 Vp-p / 75 ohms, RCA connector). There is no optical output (Toslink) or headphone output.
How do I connect the CD4000 to an amplifier?
Use a stereo RCA cable (red and white) between the CD4000's analog outputs and your amplifier's CD or AUX input. For an external DAC, connect the coaxial digital output to the DAC's coaxial input with a 75-ohm cable.
My CD4000 can't read a disc, what should I do?
First, check that the disc is not scratched or dirty: clean it with a soft cloth from the center to the edge. If the problem persists on multiple discs, the laser lens may be dirty: use a lens cleaning CD. A very worn laser requires replacement by a technician.
How do I program a playlist on the CD4000?
Press the Program button, select the desired tracks with the navigation buttons, then confirm each track with the Program button. Then start playback to listen to only the programmed tracks. Up to 24 tracks can be stored.
How do I use the Shuffle playback?
Press the Shuffle button (or Random depending on the version) before or during playback. The player will then play all the tracks on the disc in random order. Pressing it again disables the function.
Does the CD4000 have a repeat function?
Yes, the CD4000 offers several repeat modes: repeat one track (Repeat 1) and repeat the entire disc (Repeat All). Press the Repeat button to cycle through the available modes.
What is the CC-DAC used in the CD4000?
The CC-DAC (Continuous Calibration DAC) is a Marantz technology based on the Philips TDA1305T chip. It combines bitstream conversion and continuous calibration to minimize pre- and post-conversion echoes, improving the accuracy of the reproduced audio signal.
What is the measured audio quality of the CD4000?
The CD4000 delivers a signal-to-noise ratio of 98 dB, harmonic distortion of 0.006%, channel separation of 85 dB, and a dynamic range of 95 dB. These measurements correspond to a serious entry-level standard for a home CD player.
Can the CD4000 be connected to an external DAC?
Yes. The coaxial digital output (RCA 75 ohms) allows the CD4000 to be connected to an external DAC compatible with S/PDIF. Use a high-quality 75-ohm digital coaxial cable for optimal results.
What is the power consumption of the CD4000?
The CD4000 consumes 7 W during normal operation and 5 W in standby mode. This is very low power consumption, comparable to an LED bulb.
How to maintain the Marantz CD4000 to prolong its lifespan?
Avoid placing the player in a dusty or humid location. Use a lens cleaning CD once or twice a year if you use it regularly. Do not place heavy objects on the device and ensure the vents are not blocked.
