Step 1: Installing batteries in the remote control unit

Step 2: Connecting the Pre Tuner, Power Amplifier and your TV

Part 1: Power Connection

Place the Pre Tuner and Power Amplifier near your TV. Connect the supplied power cord to each unit and plug them into a household power outlet (AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

[Diagram: TV, Pre Tuner, and Power Amplifier shown connected via power cords to a wall outlet.]

Part 2: Network Connection

Wired LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable (not included) between your Pre Tuner and your network router.

[Diagram: Router connected to the Pre Tuner's LAN port via an Ethernet cable.]

Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi): When connecting to wireless LAN, follow the instructions in "Connecting the external antennas for Bluetooth/Wireless connectivity" and connect the antennas to the rear panel.

Part 3: TV Connection

Connect the Pre Tuner to your TV using an HDMI cable. Connect the HDMI OUT MONITOR1 (ARC) port on the Pre Tuner's rear panel to the HDMI IN (ARC) port on your TV.

[Diagram: HDMI cable connecting the Pre Tuner's HDMI OUT (ARC) to the TV's HDMI IN (ARC).]

ARC (Audio Return Channel): If your TV supports ARC, it can send audio back to the Pre Tuner when using the TV's built-in video sources (TV tuner, streaming services, etc.). ARC requires enabling HDMI CEC on your TV. Refer to your TV's Owner's Manual for instructions on setting up HDMI CEC, as manufacturers may use different names for this function.

Part 4: Power On and TV Input Selection

Turn on the TV: Use the TV remote control to power on your television. [Diagram: TV remote control with power button highlighted.]

Select the appropriate HDMI input on your TV: Use the TV remote control to select the HDMI input source that the Pre Tuner is connected to (e.g., labeled INPUT or TV/VIDEO). [Diagram: TV remote control with INPUT/TV/VIDEO button highlighted.]

Turn on the Pre Tuner: Press the power button ⏻ on the Pre Tuner. [Diagram: Front panel of Pre Tuner with power button highlighted.]

Verify the connection: Check your TV screen. You should see the "AV Preamp Setup Assistant" screen, prompting you to select a language (English, Français, Español). [Diagram: TV screen displaying the AV Preamp Setup Assistant language selection menu.]

If this screen is not displayed, please go back and retry the steps in the recommended sequence.

Step 3: Following the On-Screen Setup Assistant

The Setup Assistant will guide you through connecting and configuring your Power Amplifier and other components to your Marantz Pre Tuner. Use the remote control and follow the on-screen instructions displayed on your TV.

Step 4: Downloading the Mobile Apps

Download both the "HEOS" App and the "Marantz 2016 AVR Remote" App for a full home entertainment experience. The HEOS App is required to access online music through your Pre Tuner.

HEOS App: Allows you to explore, browse, and play music from many online streaming services or your own music library.

Marantz 2016 AVR Remote App: Control your new Pre Tuner with volume control, sound mode selection, and advanced settings.

Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
