ABOUT SUPER AUDIO
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital
(DSD) technology. This new direct-stream digital format
comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency
that is 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CD.The
results are spectacular: a frequency response of over 100k
Hz and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible
spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as
possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds
much more natural.
HD layer
HD layer
CD layer
HD layer
And each type may contain two areas of recorded information.
•
•
High quality stereo area
High quality multi-channel area**
•
•
Single Layer Disc
It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality
multi-channel area** information.
All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in the frequency
range as emitted by the sound source. A better reproduction
does not exist! For the first time your ears will relive reality.
Dual Layer Disc
It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality
multi-channel area** information. And a double amount of
information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second
layer.
PLAYING CD-RW DISCS
•
Hybrid Layer Disc
Not only does this disc contain both high sound quality
stereo area and high sound quality multi-channel area**
information, it also has a CD layer in the second layer, so it
can be played on a CD player.
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well
as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
•
The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-
recorded TOC information so that they can be played back.
In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is
referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized
cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players.
For details, please read the instruction manual provided
with a CD recorder.
Hybrid Super Audio CD Disc

* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains
information such as the total number of tracks and total
playing time of the disc.
-
High sound quality multi-channel**
•
•
This unit can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA
format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to
play a disc containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for
PCs, on this unit.
As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial
change of the player setup, it may take longer time for
reading the TOC information than when an Audio CD or
CD-R disc is played.
The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It will be
shown on the display window of the unit.
** This unit is a stereo-only player, and so it cannot play
high-quality multi-channel audio areas. (It does not
recognize multi-channel areas.)
2. Audio CD (CDDA)
Audio CDs contain music tracks only.

BEFORE USING
PRECAUTIONS
LOADING BATTERIES
•
In winter, droplets of water form on the insides of the
windows of a heated room: this is called condensation. This
player uses an optical lens, so the condensation may form
in the following cases.
- In a room immediately after the heating has been turned
on
- In a room where the humidity level is high
- When the player has been suddenly brought from a cold
location into a warm room
Batteries in this remote control unit have a life of approximately
1 year under normal operating conditions. If the remote control
unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries. Also, if you notice that the batteries are
starting to run down, replace them as soon as possible.
q Remove the battery cover.
Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may not be
read and the player is prevented from operating properly,
wait about 30 minutes, and then operate the player.
This player may cause interference on a tuner or TV set. If
this is the case, place it further away from the tuner or TV
set.
Compact discs have much less noise than analog records
and hardly any noise is heard before play starts. Bear in
mind, therefore, that if the volume control on the amplifier
is set too high, you will risk damaging other audio
components.
•
•
w Insert the batteries with correct +/– orientation.
Two AAA-size (R03) batteries
•
•
This player is designed to play Super Audio CD and normal
Audio CDs only. It cannot play CD-ROMs used with
personal computers, game CDs, video CDs or DVDs (video/
audio).
We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
e Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.
USING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Cautions on handling batteries

control unit’s transmitter is not pointing in the direction of the
remote sensor or if there is an obstruction between the
transmitter and the remote sensor.
• Do not use an old battery together with a new one.
• Insert the batteries while ensuring that their
and
poles are properly aligned with the corresponding
markings on the remote control unit.
Remote control operating range

CD area information are to be played, this player makes it
possible to set the layer/area (Super Audio CD or Audio CD)
to be preferentially played.
The settings can be made using the remote control. The
settings are retained even if the power is turned off so that you
can always enjoy tracks with your favorite characteristics.
To change the settings again, make the changes using the
same procedure.The settings can be changed when the track
is stopped.
This setting can be made when the tray is closed and there is
no disc in the disc tray.

qNoise shaper operation
In this unit, you can select noise shaper on or off for play-
ing tracks.
The noise shaper is turned on and off by pressing the
NOISE SHAPER button while the track is stopped. When
turned on, the NSHP indicator lights up on the LCD.
* Noise shaping is a type of digital feedback used in the
algorithms for oversampling. Digital feedback improves
the linearity of bass sounds and the noise characteristics
of the audio frequency band. However, this digital feed-
back is still feedback nonetheless. Generally, in amplifi-
ers and other equipment, the sound quality changes
based on the amount of feedback. Low feedback is said
to result in poor audio characteristics but good sound.
Although no measurement differences are shown in the
SA-7S1, the sound quality is changed. Therefore, make
the setting according to your preferences.
Caution
* Start sound mode has a memory retention function where
the settings remain stored and unchanged even when the
disc is changed or the power is turned off.
* At the time of shipment, the sound mode is set to Super
Audio CD.
wDC filter operation
The DC filter is turned on and off by pressing the
DC FILTER
button while the track is stopped.When turned
on, the DCF indicator lights up on the LCD.
* The DC filter is effective when the speakers vibrate ab-
normally for discs with recorded audio having extremely
low noise characteristics. (The cutoff frequency is set to
1.7Hz.)
eDigital output off operation
The digital output function is turned on and off by pressing
DIGITAL OUT
the
button while the track is stopped. When
digital output is turned off, the D OFF indicator lights up on
the LCD.
* When digital output is not used, setting to digital output
off enables you to enjoy better sound quality.
Note
* The noise shaper, DC filter, and digital output off have a
memory retention function where the settings remain stored
and unchanged even when the disc is changed or the power
is turned off.

OPERATION
7 Filters
The SA-7S1 is equipped with the “PEC 777f2” filter, developed with an improved algorithm from the digital filter for CD playback
“PEC777f” (Phase Error Compensation 777 filter) that uses Marantz original DSP.
When playing a super audio CD, the D/A converter internal filter is used.
The filter has 3 types of built-in characteristics for both Audio CDs and Super Audio CDs, and the characteristics for each are shown
in the table below. Change these settings according to your own personal preference.
7 Filter operations
The filter settings can be made while the track is stopped. The filters shown in the table below are available for providing distinctive
filtering according to the operation and Audio CD or Super Audio CD.
Each time the FILTER button is pressed, the filter types cycle from FIL1 → FIL2 → FIL3 → FIL1.
The filter setting has a memory retention function so that the setting remains stored and unchanged even when the disc is changed
or the power is turned off.
Filter Selection Table

Super Audio CD
This filter has short pre-echo and post echo
characteristics. It carries a lot of sound
information; therefore very profound sound image
and a clear sound source are reproduced.
This is a direct mode that does not perform any
filtering on the DSD data.The original source data
is reproduced without any alteration.
FILTER 1
This characteristic is known as asymmetrical
impulse response.The post echo is slightly longer
than the pre-echo.The analog characteristics are
slow roll-off characteristics, with well-balanced
reproduction.
This filter dampens the section of DSD data that
exceeds 100kHz. Also, operations within DAC are
made asymmetrical, priority is given to DAC
resolution, and the equivalent of 40 multi-levels
are achieved.
FILTER 2
FILTER 3
Impulse response is the shortest characteristic
of these filters. It provides high sound definition
along with a comfortable playback balance.
This filter attenuates sections of the DSD data that
exceed 100kHz. In the DAC, it provides fully
symmetric operation for 23 multi-levels.
Note: When playing back the high sound quality stereo area in Super Audio CDs, the analog output level varies slightly in
each filter.

OPERATION
USING A MASTER CLOCK
7 Using a master clock generator
GENERATOR WHEN PLAYING DISCS
for playback
It is recommended that you connect a master clock generator
that outputs very high accuracy clock signals.
The master clock generator
In digital devices such as CD players or super audio CDs,
there is a process that samples or restores the analog signal.
In order to conduct this process, a clock signal (sampling
frequency) is used.
A master clock generator is an oscillation device that makes
this clock signal.
t, u yq, r
In recent years, research has found that the difference in clock
signals causes differences in tone quality. In response to this
finding, many companies have released master clock
generators capable of outputting a highly precise clock signal.
Generally speaking, the time base of the clock signal output
from a master clock generator is exact, with few fluctuating
components (jitter), thus providing a higher-quality sound
playback.
Furthermore, the more precise the clock signal time base is,
the closer it is to the natural time base of the sound, thus
enabling the reproduction of higher fidelity sound.
The clock signal output by the crystal oscillator built into this
unit is extremely accurate, enabling you to fully enjoy high
quality sound playback. However, you can also perform
playback using the clock signal output from an external master
clock generator, to enjoy the difference in the sound quality
that the master clock generator can provide.
q Switch off the power supply.
w Connect the EXT. CLOCK INPUT connector on the rear of
this unit to the output connector of the master clock
generator using a commercially available BNC terminal
coaxial cable. (See page 11)
e Switch on the power of the master clock generator, and
check the clock frequency to set. For details on this
operation, please refer to the instruction manual that came
with your master clock generator.
r Press the POWER switch on this unit to switch on the power
supply.
t When the unit’s LCD display is on, press the EXT. CLOCK
button on the front of the unit.
y Each time the EXT. CLOCK button is pressed, the clock
frequency indicator lights in the window, in the order shown
below.
The frequency of the clock signal that can be input into this
unit is 44.1, 88.2, or 176.4kHz. Use a master clock generator
that is capable of outputting these signals.
OFF (Internal clock operates)
44.1 kHz
88.2 kHz
176.4 kHz
u Press the EXT. CLOCK button to match the frequency with
the clock frequency set in the master clock generator, and
when the LOCK indicator switches on, the settings are
complete.
You will be able to hear the changes in sound quality by
changing the clock signal. Set the frequency to your own
personal tastes.
Caution
•
Switch between the master clock generator and the internal
clock when playback is stopped to prevent excessive sound
occurrence from the speaker.
•
Sound will be muted when the LOCK indicator blinks. Check
the settings of your master clock generator, the connections
etc. During this time, the DIGITAL OUTPUT signal will not
be muted.
•
The information after this operation is stored by the last
memory function even after the power is switched OFF.

is a European system device, a phase inversion cable would
normally need to be used to playback with the correct phase.
However, by pressing the INV. PHASE button on this unit, you
can listen to the correct phase without replacing the cable.

Moreover, if a disc that has been recorded with the incorrect
phase is being played, you can play it in the correct phase by
pressing the INV. PHASE button.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you think a malfunction has occurred, first check the points listed below. The problem is likely to have been caused by a simple
operational error or a connection problem. If the problem cannot be corrected even after carrying out the following checks, consult
your dealer or nearest Marantz sales office or service counter.
•
The disc fails to rotate.
•
A Super Audio CD cannot be played.
1. Is the mains lead plugged in properly?
2. Is the POWER switch ON?
3. Is the disc placed in the correct position on the disc tray?
4. Is the disc placed properly with the label side facing up?
5. Is the disc dirty?
1. Is the disc scratched, dirty or warped?
2. Is the amplifier’s input selector set to digital? (Digital audio
signal will not be output when a Super Audio CD is played.)
3. Is the disc a Super Audio CD multi-channel only disc? (This
unit does not support Super Audio CD multi-channel.)
6. Is the disc scratched?
7. Is the disc warped?
•
A CD-R/CD-RW disc cannot be played.
8. Is EXT. CLOCK (BNC terminal) connected? Also, is it set
correctly?
1. Is the disc placed upside down?
2. Is the disc contains properly written TOC?
3. Is the recorded information in an audio (CD-DA) format?
•
The disc is rotating but no sound is heard.
1. Are the amplifier and speakers connected properly?
2. Is the amplifier switch ON?
3. Is the amplifier’s function or selector switch set to “CD” or
“AUX” or such (to whatever you have connected this unit
to)?
•
A specific CD cannot be played
Copy control CDs (CDs with copy guard) are special discs
that do not comply with current CD standards. Marantz
cannot guarantee the ability to play such discs on your CD
player.
4. Is the amplifier’s volume control set at the minimum level?
* Occasionally, sound may stop if the equipment is installed
near an air conditioning unit or refrigerator. If this problem
occurs, either switch the main power off and on again, or
press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open and close the tray,
then try playing the disc again.
When normal CDs can be played without a problem and
problems occur only when playing these special discs, it is
not a problem with this unit.
Please ask the seller of the copy control CD for detailed
information regarding copy control CDs.
•
•
The unit makes a clicking sound when the tray closes
This is the adhesion click of the clamper for securing the
disc. This does not cause any problem in using the unit.
•
The disc stops in mid-operation.
The sound drops out or noise is heard.
1. Is the disc dirty?
2. Is the disc scratched?
3. Is the disc warped?
While the disc is spinning, a spinning sound is heard
or a slight vibration occur.
* In the case of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, this problem may
occur when the conditions under which its data was originally
written were substandard or when the quality of the disc itself
is poor.
Depending on the disc, a spinning sound may occur or the
unit may vibrate slightly due to disc eccentricity or such.
This is not a problem with this unit.
* This condition may occur in Mixed-Mode CDs, CD Extra,
and other discs that have CDDA format mixed with other data.
Noise may also be heard momentarily when skipping tracks.
•
Remote control operation is not possible.
1. Is the transmitter of the remote control unit pointed correctly
at the remote sensor on the front of the player (this unit)?
Or is there an obstruction between the transmitter and the
remote sensor?
2. Are the batteries in the remote control unit exhausted?
3. Is there another strong light (from a window, etc.) striking
the Super Audio CD player’s remote sensor?
