Location Recommendations

To ensure long-lasting use, do not locate the PM6002 where it is:

• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Near sources of heat such as heaters.
• In highly humid or poorly ventilated areas.
• Dusty.
• Subjected to mechanical vibrations.
• On wobbly, inclined, or otherwise unstable surfaces.
• Where radiated heat is blocked, such as in cramped audio racks.

Clearance Requirements

Object Placement

Keep objects off the PM6002. Blocking the vents can result in accident and damage. ⚠️

Hot Spots Warning

Do not touch hot spots during and immediately after use. During and immediately after use, the PM6002 is hot in areas other than the controls and rear panel connection jacks. Do not touch hot spots, and especially the top panel. Contact with hot areas can cause burns. ⚠️

Remote Controller Usage

Operate the unit with the remote controller within the range shown below.

Cautions on Handling Batteries:

• Misuse of batteries can result in electrolyte leakage, rupturing, or corrosion.
• Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for a prolonged period (a month or more).
• Do not use an old battery with a new one.
• Ensure batteries are inserted with correct +/- orientation.
• Do not use different types of batteries together.
• If electrolyte leaks, wipe the compartment clean before inserting new batteries.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Remote Controller Cautions:

• Avoid direct sunlight, inverter fluorescent light, or other strong light sources shining on the infrared receptor window, as this may disable operation.
• Be aware that operating the remote controller might accidentally operate other infrared-controlled devices.
• Ensure there is no obstruction between the controller and the player's infrared receptor window.
• Do not place objects on top of the remote controller, as this may cause buttons to be held down and drain the batteries.

Remote Controller

The remote controller allows operation of the PM6002 and other Marantz components.

• 1 POWER ON/STANDBY buttons: Control the main power and standby mode. The SOURCE POWER button switches Marantz components between power-on and standby.
• 2 Input selector buttons: Directly select input sources. Note that AUX/DVD and RECORDER 2 share jacks. INPUT % and INPUT fi navigate through sources.
• 3 VOLUME adjustment buttons: MUTE button activates/deactivates mute. VOLUME 5 and VOLUME adjust volume level.
• 4 Component operating buttons: Functions vary depending on the selected component (CD, DVD, Tuner, Tape).

CD/DVD/TUNER/TAPE Button Functions: The buttons in group 4 perform specific functions (e.g., Play, Pause, Stop, Track Skip, Menu Navigation) depending on the selected source component.

Connection of Audio Components

Connect various audio sources to the appropriate input jacks:

• Tuner: Connect tuner output to TUNER jacks.
• CD Player: Connect CD player output to CD jacks.
• Turntable: Connect L/R output to PHONO jacks and grounding wire to GND terminal. Ensure MM type cartridge or use a step-up transformer for MC type.
• MD or Tape Deck: Connect IN/OUT jacks to RECORDER 2 IN/OUT jacks.
• CD Recorder: Connect IN/OUT jacks to RECORDER 1 IN/OUT jacks.

Wiring Speaker Cable

Proper speaker wiring is crucial for performance and safety.

• Be careful not to short circuit speaker cables.
• Peel approximately 1 cm of cable coating, then twist the conductors.
• Connect the Right channel speaker to the R terminals and the Left channel speaker to the L terminals.
• Ensure correct polarity: connect positive (+) terminals to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-).

Speaker System Requirements:

• If using 1 set of speakers, total impedance must be 4 ohms or more.
• If using 2 sets of speakers, total impedance must be 8 ohms or more.
• Recommended speaker impedance is 8-16 ohms. Connecting speakers with less than 8 ohms may activate protection circuitry.

Remote Control Jacks

Connect other Marantz components with remote control capabilities to the REMOTE CONTROL jacks (IN/OUT) for system-wide remote operation.

Connection of AC Power Cable

1. Plug the power cable into the AC IN jack on the back panel. 2. Turn on the power switch of the connected audio unit and set its selector to this unit. 3. Plug the power cable into an AC outlet. ⚡
