This Stereo Tuner incorporates a number of features designed to enhance the listening of your favorite audio sources. Please read these operating instructions carefully. We recommend that you read the entire user guide before you attempt to connect or operate the unit. After you have reviewed the contents of this manual, we suggest that you make all system connections before you attempt to operate the unit. Refer to the Figures on pages 3 and 20 at the rear of this user guide. The callout numbers on the Figures correspond to those found in the text. All references to the connections and controls that are printed in BOLD type are as they appear on the unit. EQUIPMENT REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS (Figure 1) ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ABC A ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Both FM and AM antenna can be connected to the tuner's terminals. FM ANTENNA TERMINAL The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM antenna with a circular plug. It can also be used to connect the accessory FM feeder antenna. B C FM ANTENNA B TERMINAL The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM antenna with a circular plug, or for connecting a cable network to the tuner. AM ANTENNA TERMINAL PRECAUTIONS The following precautions should be taken when operating the equipment. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS When siting the equipment ensure that: -- the ventilation holes are not covered; -- air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment -- it is on a vibration free-surface; -- it will not be exposed to interference from an external source; -- it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold, moisture or dust; -- it will not be exposed to direct sunlight; -- it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges ¼ Never place heavy objects on the equipment. ¼ If a foreign body or water dose enter the equipment, contact your nearest dealer or service center. ¼ Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead, hold the plug. ¼ It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply. The AM terminal and the GND terminal are used to connect the highperformance, low-impedance, AM loop antenna that is provided with the receiver. The AM loop antenna can be used on top of the tuner or can be mounted on a suitable rack or shelf near the tuner. Interference may be reduced if the tuner is earthed. In areas where the AM loop antenna supplied gives unsatisfactory result, it is recommended that the tuner be connected to an outdoor antenna. Use the terminal marked AM for this. Anearthing lead can be connected to the terminal marked GND to further reduce interference. D FM ATTENUATE SWITCH (FM ATT.) This switch attenuates the FM signal input to the ATTENNA B terminal. DX : For use when the FM signal is comparatively weak. (The input FM signal is not attenuated.) LOCAL: For use when the FM signal is comparatively strong. (The input FM signal is attenuated by approx. 20dB.) E F OUTPUT JACKS With the lead supplied, connect the output jacks to the tuner inputs of your amplifier. REMOTE CONTROL BUS TERMINALS Another item of audio equipment with a remove control bus terminal can be connected to these terminals by using a specialpurpose cable. The bus OUT terminal is used to send signals to another item of equipment. The bus IN terminal is used to receive signals from another item of equipment. G AC POWER CONNECTION The correct voltage for operating your tuner is indicated on the rear panel. Be sure the POWER switch is off before plugging the AC mains lead into an electrical outlet. H SCAN-STEP SELECTION Changes the step when the tuner searches for the next station up or down the scale. In Europe this swich should be set to 9 kHz steps in AM. CAUTION THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE CHANGING THE SCAN-STEP SELECTOR SWITCH POSITION. WHEN THIS SWITCH IS SET TO OFF, THE CONTENTS OF THE PRESET MEMORY AND STATION NAME ARE ERASED AT THAT TIME, STORE THE CONTENTS AGAIN. I FM DE-EMPHASIS SWITCH This models are equipped with switchable de-emphasis. The de-emphasis switch works in conjuction with this scan-step selector switch. The de-emphasis set to 50°s when delivered from the factory. 4 (Figure 2) q POWER SWITCH Press to switch the power ON. Press again to switch to power OFF.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE This section describes the care and maintenance tasks that must be performed to optimize the operation of your Marantz equipment. TROUBLESHOOTING Should faults occur, it is in many cases not necessary not necessary to consult your dealer or technical service department. On the basis of the following checks you will be able to rectify a number of faults yourself without difficulty. If the fault cannot be remedied after the following checks, please consult your dealer or nearest Marantz service agent. ENGLISH FRANÇAIS CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL SURFACES The exterior finish of your ST-17 will last indefiniely with proper care and cleaning. Never use scouring pads, steel wool, scouring powders or harsh chemical agents (e.g., lye solution), alchol, 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. The tuner does not work and the indicators do not light up. 1. Check that the mains lead is plugged in prpperly to the power outlet. The indicators light up but the broadcast cannot heard. 1. Check that the switches and volume control of the connected amplifier are set properly. 2. Check the leads between the tuner and amplifier. The FM broadcast sound is disturbrd. 1. Change the antenna sirection. 2. If an external antenna is used, change the sirection of that antenna. 3. If the signal strength in your area is week, examine the condition of the antenna. REPAIRS Only the most competent and qualified service technicians should be allowed to service the equipment. The Marantz company and its factorytrained warranty station personal have the knouwledge 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 mode and serial number of the equipment together with a full description of what you think is abnormal about the equipment's behaviour. AM broadcast reception is poor. 1. Change the direction of the AM loop antenna. 2. Change the orientation of the tunner. 3. Check whether noise is produced by other audio/video components, electrical appliances or fluorescent lamps in your room. 4. Try using an external antenna.
