Marantz CD6002 Sound mode

[admin_exported]

Hi, On the remote control for the CD6002 there is a button with the legend Sound mode. In stop mode, when this button is pressed the players display successively reads Audio EX off, Audio EX 1, Audio EX 2. The manual states; Audio EX OFF (When first purchased) Audio EX 1 offers better sound. Audio EX 2 offers best sound from analog outputs. What is this button doing, and what do people recommend as being the best mode? Thanks.

Hello! To be honest, I've own my CD6002 for 3 weeks now, and I never noticed that button! Maybe the player can provide better sound by simply by-passing the pitch control function (which I find quite unusual). They say you can have best sound (from analog outputs) when both pitch control and digital output are not available. If you are not using digital output, EX 2 mode would be the most appropriate. Regards...

To be honest its best to turn off any electronic trickery and rely on the quality of the components, so ignore the manual and set it to EX off
