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?

hmmmmmmmmmmm
That is what is known as a CLUE!!
By 'clue', I meant,obviously the manufacturer does not think 'break-in' is a factor in the performcance of the item in question.

Manufacturers do put the important stuff in the manual. Voltage requirement, safety do's and don'ts. Some speakers that require a certain placement like up against the wall or in a corner are mentioned in the owners manual. AUDIOPHILE mumbo jumbo is never mentioned. Ask yourself why they don't list recommended cables by name? Power cords? They ever say put little thingys under your speaker cable. Spikes under CD players? I wonder why!!

Or better still, if the equipment works better with certain wire or tweaks and burn-in time, why wouldn't they tell us, or provide them in the box? Why would they run the risk of a customer having a negative first experience with their equipment. Good way to go out of business.
