FEATURES

SA8003/SA7003 COMMON FEATURES

This unit can play back the outstanding sound performance of Super Audio CDs. This unit has the following major features.

• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-speed HDAMSA2-type output amplifier with the differential input type HDAM
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM discs containing WMA and MP3 files

SA8003 FEATURES

The SA8003 has been upgraded from SA7003 as in the following.
- Toroidal transformer

The SA8003 features a toroidal transformer that produces less vibration and magnetic leakage flux compared to conventional power transformers. The materials and manufacturing process of the ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce vibration, while the short-ring attached to the perimeter of the transformer reduce magnetic leakage flux.

• Large-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 3300 μF capacitor carefully selected for its acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power supply circuit.
• Audiophile-grade film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors

The SA8003 features the same audiophile-grade film capacitors and electrolytic capacitors specifically used in top-range models.

• Double-layered chassis
• High-grade machined analog audio output connectors
- Playback of USB audio (MP3/WMA/WAV)/iPod

This unit can play back MP3, WMA, WAV, and AAC files by connecting an USB device or iPod to its USB connector.

• Copper-plated chassis

APPLICABLE DISCS TO THE UNIT

1. Super Audio CD

SUPERAUDIO CD

The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital (DSDI) 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 100kHz 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.

There are three types of Super Audio CDs.

• Single-layer Disc
• Dual-layer Disc
• Hybrid-layer Disc

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.

• 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 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.)

1. Audio CD (CDDA)

Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

3. CD-R / CD-RW

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.

* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.

- As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the player setup, it may ask longer time for reading the TOC information than when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.

BEFORE USING

This section must be read before any connection is made to the mains supply.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area. This product can be powered by 230 V AC only.

COPYRIGHT

Recording and playback of any material may require consent. For further information refer to the following:
— Copyright Act 1956
— Dramatic and Musical Performers Act 1958
— Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972
— any subsequent statutory enactments and orders

INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR INSTALLATION

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
- On top of an amplifier or other component which dissipates a great deal of heat
- 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.

dO NOT PLACE OBJECTS ON TOP

- Refrain from placing any objects on top of the player.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING MAINS CORd

Do not touch the mains cord with wet hands.

• When disconnecting the mains cord, always make sure that you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or bending the cord can damage it and/or cause electric shocks or a fire.
• Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug before leaving home.

do NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS YOURSELF

• 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.

PRECAUTIONS

• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This CD 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

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.
• This audio player is for the exclusive playing of Audio CDs (Compact Discs) and MP3/WMA compressed data files.

It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal computers, game CDs, video CDs, DVDs (video/ audio) or DTS-CDs.

• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.

NOTES ABOUT THE dISCS

* 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.

- Wipe the surface radially from the center.

- 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 malfunctioning may occur.

* 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.

* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such as those with the "CD logo", "Lor" mark on their disc label surfaces.
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.
- 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
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in their cases after use.

ABOUT PLAYING COPY-CONTROLLED CdS

Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to official CD standards. They are special discs and may not play on the unit.

PLAYING Cd-R/Cd-RW dISCS

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.
  * TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
• This unit can play CD format, video CD format, and CD-R/CD-RW discs which contain WMA/MP3 music data. However, some discs may have problems such as unable to play, noise or sound distortion.
• This device is exclusively a playback device. It cannot record CD-R/CD-RW discs.
• 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.
• Depending on the application settings and environment, discs recorded with a personal computer may not be able to be played. Please record with the correct format. (For details, please inquire at your application sales agent.)
• Discs recorded with the packet writing system cannot be played.
• Mixed mode CD/enhanced CD and DTS CD discs cannot be played.
• CD-G, video CD and DVD discs cannot be played.
