CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This section describes the care and maintenance tasks that must
be performed to optimize the operation of your Marantz equipment.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL SURFACES
The exterior finish of your PM4400 will last indefinitely with proper
care and cleaning. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring
powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g., lye solution), alcohol,
thinners, benzine, insecticide or other volatile substances as
these will mar the finish of the equipment. Likewise, never use
cloths containing chemical substances. If the equipment gets
dirty. wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the equipment becomes heavily soiled:
— dilute some washing up liquid in water, in a ratio of one part
detergent to six parts water
— dip a soft, lint free in the solution and wring the cloth out until
it is damp.
— wipe the equipment with the damp cloth.
— dry the equipment by wiping it with a dry cloth.
REPAIRS
Only the most competent and qualified service technicians
should be allowed to service the equipment. The Marantz company
and its factory-trained warranty station personnel have the
knowledge and special facilities needed for repair and calibration
of this precision equipment. After the warranty period has expired,
repairs will be performed for a charge if the equipment can be
returned to normal operation.
In the event of difficulty, refer to your dealer or write directly to the
nearest location to you that is listed on the Marantz Authorised
Service Station list. If writing, please include the model and serial
number of the equipment together with a full description of what
you think is abnormal about the equipment’s behaviour.

following before contacting service personnel. What may seem
to be a serious malfunction is often the result of a simple
