Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player

Just took deliver of my new Marantz SA 11 today. Have seen where many people suggest you turn it on and let burn in for several hours before actually playing. Don't see anything in my owners manual about this. What's the best/most widely recognized method to help insure the very best sound quality?

Simply install the interconnects between the SA 11 and your preamp or integrated amp, turn on the SA 11, and play a CD set on "repeat." The amount of time you leave the CD playing on "repeat" is up for conjecture, some believe at least 100-200 hours 24/7. No need to have any volume to your system.

Manufacturers do put the important stuff in the manual. 11-29-12: Rok2id
Rok2kid, your statement does not apply to several of the audio manuals I've seen. Some manufacturers are, in my opinion, negligent in this regard and their manuals are much too sparse, especially when considering the cost of the gear. Certain missing specifications are one example that come to mind.
