EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING
Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety
requirements in your area.
"N(/02)"or "KS" Version product can be powered by 230 V AC only.
"T(/05)" or "A( /07)" Version product can be powered by 240 V AC only.
This is a voltage selector (2-position or 4-position) on the rear panel of the
"K"or "KH" Version product,. Be sure to set the voltage selector to the
mains voltage of your area before using the unit.
IMPORTANT:
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change
a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved
type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
|f the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5A.
NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
BLUE—" NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN—"LIVE" ("L")
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter "L" or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol + or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.

COMPACT DISCS
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the
side on which the label is printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the AC500 reads
the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting
itusing a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc
will not degrade like conventional analog records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations:
— Indirect sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.
~ {naplace which is damp or dirty.
- Ina place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.
Always keep the disc surface clean.
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When
cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc
cleaner and wipe as shown below.
Do not wipe in circumferential direc-
tion.
¢ Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as
this will adversely affect the disc surface.
Wipe in a radial direction.
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.
