Notes:
Connect the these jacks to the matching + or – terminals on your
speakers. When making speaker connections, always make
certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the red (+)
terminals on the SR8300 to the red terminals on the speaker and
the black (–) terminals on the SR8300 to the black terminals on
the speakers.
⁄0 AC INLET
Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the
power outlet on the wall.
⁄1 AC OUTLETS
Connect the AC power cables of components such as a DVD and CD
player to these outlets. SWITCHED and UNSWITCHED outlets are
provided.
The one marked SWITCHED provides power only when the SR8300
is turned on and is useful for components which you use every time
you play your system.
The one marked UNSWITCHED is always live as long as the SR8300
is plugged into a live outlet.
A component connected here may be left on permanently, or may be
switched off with its own power switch.
Caution:
In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps, anything plugged in
here should be powered up before the SR8300 is turned on.
The capacity of this AC outlet is 120W. Do not connect devices
that consume electricity more than the capacity to this AC
outlet. If total power consumption of connected devices
exceeds the capacity, protection circuit shuts down the power
supply.
⁄2 VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, DSS, VCR1,
VCR2)
These are the video inputs and outputs. There are 5 video inputs and
2 video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S-
video configurations. Connect VCRs, DVD players, and other video
components to the video inputs.
S-video sources can be viewed through the S-video outputs, and
composite sources can only be viewed through the composite output.
The 2 video output channels can be used to be connected to video
tape recorders for making recordings.
⁄3 AUDIO IN/OUT (CD, TAPE, CD-R, TV,
DVD, DSS, VCR1, VCR2)
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 9 audio
inputs (5 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of
which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally
labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players,DVD players
and etc.... The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
⁄4 7.1 CHANNEL INPUT
By connecting a DVD Audio player, SACD player, or other component
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1
channel or 7.1 channel output.
⁄5 RS232C
The RS232C port is to be used in conjunction with an external
controller to control the operation of the SR8300 by using an external
device.
The RS232C port may also be used in the future to update the
operating software of the SR8300 so that it will be able to support new
digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.
⁄6 REMOTE CONT. IN/OUT terminals
Connect to a Marantz component equipped with remote control (RC-
5) terminals.
⁄7 MULTI ROOM REMOTE IN/OUT
terminals
IN: Connect to multi-room remote control device, available from
your Marantz dealer.
OUT: Connect to the Marantz component equipped with remote
control (RC-5) terminals in another room (Second zone).
⁄8 DC TRIGGER output terminals
Connect a device that needs to be triggered by DC under certain
conditions (screen, power strip, etc…)
Use the system OSD setup menu to determine the conditions by which
these jacks will be active.
Note:
• This output voltage is for (status) control only, It is not
sufficient for drive capability.
⁄9 External IR transmitter terminal
If the SR8300 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow
infrared beams to transmit to 2way remote commander, you will need
to connect a IR transmitter to this output to be able to use the 2way
remote controller.
Then install the remote transmitter in an unblocked location where you
can easily receive IR signal.
Note:
• An optional remote transmitter kit is required.
