Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player

Play away. I, for one, like to hear the improvements made during break in.
It's fun to see how much I can detect as it breaks in.

All the best.

"Don't see anything in my owners manual about this."

hmmmmmmmmmmm
That is what is known as a CLUE!!

That is a 'clue' to what, exactly? That there is no performance changes in audio equipment as it ages? Or just that the manufacturer is smart enough not to enter an arena of audiophiles with too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than discuss what to me is obvious. Or did you mean to suggest that most all audio equipment had some break-in issues, even if for only a couple of hours, so manufacturers comments were not really necessary. I assume the former, that makes sense to me anyway.

Rok2id, consider that because you may have never experienced the break in of new, out of the box, audio equipment may mean nothing at all unless you can validate in some way, by establishing what ancillary equipment is used, your hearing accuity, your listening skills, and your experience, that such doesn't exist for others, apart from yourself of course.

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.

When I got my first CD/SACD player I was so paranoid about breaking it in properly that I did the first 24/7 with various CDs. The next week I played a SACD for 24/7. Sad but true. I had the player connected to my preamp with it turned off. Enjoy your Marantz.
