FEATURES
This 8-channel power amplifier comes with upgraded
functions and supports the latest format of surround
sound without compromising the design technology
of Marantz's flagship models.
Current feedback type of discrete power amplifier
with high sound quality
The MM8003 features in all 8 channels the current
feedback type of power amplifier, which uses the
complementary push-pull circuitry incorporated
in Marantz's SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power Amplifier.
This improves the model's operating stability and
enables it to achieve high-density, high-speed sound
reproduction across a wide sound range.
In the rear section the power amplifier is a current/
voltage conversion amplifier unit that employs a
Wilson current mirror circuit for amplifying sound up
to the treble range at low distortion levels.
Improved instantaneous current supply
capability
In the rear section of the power amplifier is the
LAPT (high-performance power transistor), which is
featured in Marantz's model SM-11S1 Hi-Fi Power
Amplifier. This device improves the instantaneous
current supply capability.
Copper bus bars are featured in the unit that supplies
the power to each channel.
The power supply unit has a large toroidal transformer
that delivers low levels of noise and leakage flux
thanks to its internal structural features such as its
laminated core, silicon steel-plated core ring,etc.,
and the use of its shielded casing.
Original Marantz parts with a combined capacitance
of 100,000 µF (50,000µF/71V × 2), which have been
specially crafted to achieve the maximum in terms of
sound quality, are employed in the block capacitor, a
key component of the power supply unit.
Thanks to the improvements in the current supply
capability of these parts, you can enjoy high-powered
sound brimming with ambiance.
BEFORE USE
High-sound-quality design based on the pure
surround concept
A chimney-type heat sink and extremely quiet
cooling fan deal with the heat that is discharged
from the 8-channel amplifier to a high degree of
efficiency. A high-precision temperature sensor IC
is used to adjust the rotational speed of the cooling
fan in response to the changes in the amount of heat
generated by the amplifier.
These features together make for lavish specifications
well suited to the amplifier's use in high-end theater
systems, which are engineered to ensure virtually
noiseless operation.
The amplifier's chassis is copper-plated to protect
the analog audio circuitry from high-frequency
noise. This is an important technological aspect
for reproducing sound without compromising the
delicately nuanced sound fields of Super Audio.
In addition, top-of-the-line audio capacitors, film
capacitors and other high-quality components are
used to achieve a high-sound-quality design.
BALANCED/UNBALANCED switching function
This function makes it possible to select BALANCED
or UNBALANCED input each channel depending on
the application.
Remote power control
By connecting the amplifier to Marantz's model
AV8003 AV pre-tuner, the amplifier's power can be
switched on or off in tandem with the power on/off
operation of the AV8003 using the remote power
control function.
A floating ground connection that doesn’t form a
ground loop is used for the connection with the
AV8003 so the sound quality is not adversely
affected.
This section must be read before any connection is
made to the mains supply.

Notes:
• Speakers come with "+" and "-" terminals. When connecting the speakers to the amplifier, connect their "+"
terminals to the "+" connectors on the amplifier and, similarly, connect their "-" terminals to the "-" connectors.
If a "+" terminal is connected to a "-" connector, the signal phase will be reversed, and the music played through
the speakers will sound unnatural. Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers, and properly reconnect the
speakers.
• Connect speaker systems with an impedance of at least 6 Ω to the amplifier. If speakers with an impedance of under
6 Ω are used and sound is played at high volume levels for prolonged periods, the amplifier may experience an
extreme rise in temperature, tripping the protection circuit.
• If the AV8003 AV pre-tuner is connected to the amplifier and one surround back speaker is to be used, connect the
speaker to the surround back left channel (SBL).
If this is the case, the setting must be performed on the AV8003. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
AV8003.) When using a control amplifier other than the AV8003, follow the operating instructions of the amplifier
used, and connect the speaker properly.

POWER CABLE CONNECTION
How the speakers should be placed depends on the room size and other factors. An example of how the
speakers are normally placed and some placement tips are given here.
Surround R
Surround
Back R
Connect the power cable after all the connections
have been completed.
1.
Plug the accessory power cable into the AC IN
socket on the rear panel of the amplifier.
2.
Connect the plug on the power cable to the wall
socket (AC 230 V, 50 Hz).
Front R
• Center speaker
This speaker is placed so that its front panel is in
line with the front panels of the front left and right
speakers or slightly behind them.
Height at which to place the front left and right
speakers and center speaker
Place the three front speakers (left, right and center)
so that their mid-range and high-range units will be
positioned at more or less the same height from the
floor as much as possible.
• Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are needed to play surround sound.
Place them against the walls in line with the listening
position or slightly behind it. Position them so that
the center of the speaker front panels point toward
the center the room.
• Surround back left and right speakers
Place these speakers behind the listening position as
shown in the figure.
Height at which to place the surround left and
right speakers and surround back left and right
speakers
Place these speakers at a height of 70 cm to 1 meter
above the listener.
By placing the speakers at this height, the sound
source will not be localized at any specific position,
and the listener will feel more surrounded and
enveloped by the sound.
* Ensure that the total power consumption of the
amplifier and other components connected to
the socket does not exceed the capacity of
the socket.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Front left and right speakers
It is recommended that the front left and right
speakers be positioned at an angle of 45 to 60
degrees from each other as viewed from the listening
position.

Press the POWER ON/OFF switch.
Sound is output after the illumination lamp has blinked for about 7 seconds.
The sound output is delayed because of the activation of the muting circuit, which prevents noise from being output
until the amplifier's circuitry operates stably after the power has been turned on.
(The illumination lamp is lit while the amplifier is operating.)

BI-AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
Four channels of this unit's power amplifiers are used to achieve bi-amplifier connections to the front speaker
systems.
Before connecting the speaker systems, check that they support bi-amplifier connections.
ADVANCED
CONNECTIONS
OPERATION
What are "bi-amplifier connections"?
This is a technique for enhancing sound quality, and it involves connecting separate power amplifiers to the
bass and mid-range/treble speakers.
By adopting this technique, interference in the mid-range and treble sound caused by the back electromotive
force generated by the bass speaker unit can be minimized, improving the sound that can be delivered through
the front speakers.
Notes:
• Balanced cables are used in the connection example shown. (Unbalanced cables can also be used for bi-amplifier
connections.)
• If the front speaker systems are used in combination with the AV8003 in a bi-amplifier connection, sound will no
longer be heard from the surround back channels.
