[. . . ] The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit. € About Care • Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth. € Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used. Remote Power Control Improved instant power supply capability The final stage of the power amp is equipped with the same LAPT (high efficiency power transistor) that is installed in the marantz Hi-Fi power amp, providing improved instant power supply capability. As one of the essential parts of the power section, this unit is equipped with marantz original 50, 000 μF / 71 V × 2 block condensers, which have been repeatedly tested for sound quality. These improvements to the power supply capability provide a powerful, presence-filled sound. When a marantz AV Pre Tuner AV8801 or AV7701 is connected to this unit, this unit’s power can be switched ON/OFF together with the AV8801 or AV7701 power supply. Connection to the AV8801 or AV7701 is a ground floating connection that prevents negative influences on sound quality as far as possible. Other Functions Equipped with IR flash input that supports custom installations, and DC trigger input and output terminals. High sound quality design based on pure surround philosophy Equipped with a chimney-shaped heat sink to efficiently process the heat emitted from each channel amp , and exceptionally quiet cooling fans. A high-sensitivity temperature sensor IC is used to control the cooling fans, adjusting the rotation speed to match the amount of heat generated by the amp. These components provide the sound quality and low-noise you would expect at a high-end theater. In addition, this unit is designed for superb quality sound, and is equipped with high quality components such as a high-end audio condenser and film condenser throughout.
