Kings,
Thanks sa advice! I'm new to ht setups and am planning to get an entry level avr. Gusto ko yung madami na features para di naman masyadong maluma o malaos agad in the next 3 to 5 years. Di naman kasi ako yung upgrading type unless masira yung equipment. Will also try to look into the marantz receiver.
Wow! its so nice to see so many marantz fans. Noong binili ko yung SR5200 last year, virtually non existent ang mga marantz followers dito sa pinoydvd.
to me the marantz sound...beats yamaha, onkyo and denon...totoo yung sinabi nila..."When music matters"...yung HK lang ang medyo may panama...IMHO.
Not to be a kontrabida..pero nagkaproblema yung marantz ko last week..just in time before the warranty ran out. Yung on screen menu biglang naging garbage as in "*&^%$*@" parang minumura ako hehehe..
sabi sa service center may IC daw na bumigay... kukunin ko na siya this weekend...(pag na hanap ko yung warranty card ko..ngek nasaan na kaya yun??)
happy listening to you all marantz sound lovers..at dun sa mga nag isip isip..bili na!
Heard one of this models too kina Hyperaudio paired with mission speakers although i forgot the model..i think its 5300 ata..it sounds good sa movies..pero didnt heard it sa Music
wharfs are good paired with marantz, harman kardon and NAD, the yammies don't have enough juice to drive these speakers. I previously owned a marantz sr4200 and it can drive the wharfs that i had (in 5 channel stereo) to loud volumes.

Bro i didnt say its 5300..sabi ko " i think " ;D ;DHeard one of this models too kina Hyperaudio paired with mission speakers although i forgot the model..i think its 5300 ata..it sounds good sa movies..pero didnt heard it sa Music
I thought walang 5300 si hyperaudio?
bunkieboy,
happened to know the cheapest marantz reciever in the market 4300 or lower model?
tenx,
I think yung chip problem pala causes the marantz receiver to produce sudden high pitch sounds...
tapos read from somewhere else din na some receivers automatically shuts off... read all these sa home theater spot
Courage,
i had one sr-4300 where the sound drops out occasionally when playing music cd's on a pioneer dv-655A connected digitally to the receiver. the problem doesn't happen with playing dvd's though. the unit was promptly replaced by the good supplier.

so far, no sound drop outs on my SR4300 when playing CD. I'm using Pioneer CLD-D500 for playing CD's and it is optically connected.
Although, noticed delay in sound when playing DVD particularly when scanning scenes. The display dot matrix display changes from "DOLBY D" to "NO DATA". Sound comes out once display switched back to "DOLBY D". but the delay in sound does not take more than 1 or 2 secs. while when skipping chapters, sabay naman yung sound sa video.
i'm using a Pioneer DVD-K302CD and it is digitally connected using coax.

Sir, have u notice a sound delay when playing DVD's like when u pause then play it again or..when u skip chapters. Yung tipong nag paplay na nang around 1-2 secs. saka pa lang lalabas ang sound.
How about pag pinapalitan mo ang language nang nag paplay na DVD. Usually may mga DVD's na maraming language like DTS,DD5.1, Dolby 2 Channel, Dolby 2 Channel french..etc...usually the delay occurs daw pag nag palit ka nang language. so halimbawa ur playing a disc na naka DD 5.1 so the ur Amp will shift to DD 5.1..then pinalitan mo yung languag nang DD 2.0 so the receiver will automatically shift to DPL or DPL2..during shifting of surround modes..dun daw nagkakaroon nang delay..which i read na minsan eh umaabot nang 2-3 secs ang delay bago lumabas ang sound.
I've read from other forums that the new marantz models sometimes automatically shuts off... I think this has something to do with a chip in the receiver... anyway, thought you guys would like to know lang, in case you experience this, have it changed to a newer one agad...
my previous marantz sr4200 has a 1 second delay, and one "problem" also is when you play the first track of a cd using the digital in, the first few seconds are not heard.
masyado bang disturbing iyong 5 seconds delay? kasi sa lasa ko sakin oks lang yon.
or napdalas lang siguro kapapa-nood ko ng P** VCDs dito ;D ;D ;D
saan ba iyong delay kasi I assumed sa umpisa lang ng movie then after noon oks pro kung tuloy tuloy.... nada...
di ko rin mapagtiyagaan yon. ;D
saan ba iyong delay kasi I assumed sa umpisa lang ng movie then after noon oks pro kung tuloy tuloy.... nada...
di ko rin mapagtiyagaan yon. ;D
Pare try playing with ur DVD players Language or Audio button..some titles kasi has multiple language in which u can change the audio to 2 channel stereo, 2 channel stereo in french, DD 5.1 DTS, etc....
If u change the Audio signal from ur player..ur AVR will automatically shift to another surround mode...during shiftting nang mode dun mo mapapansin ang delay..kung baga halimbawa naka 5.1 ang audio mo then pinalitan mo nang 2 channel..ur AVR will automatically shift to DPL or DPL2..
Although i think minsan kaya nag dedelay eh gawa din sa player...what i dont understand eh yung delay pag Audio CD na ang nag paplay or pag nag skip ka nang track in wich wala namang shifting nang mode na nangyayari ( nabasa ko lang ito sa ibang thread)
kano ba ngayon ang marantz 4200 diyan sa pinas ???
denon 1803 or marantz sr4300-which one do you think would sound better paired with wharf/mission
pa pm kung saan pinakamurang ang marantz 4300 and how much
pede pa pm din kung san at magkano?
i'm a proud owner of an sr4300 (courtesy of hyperaudio - thanks!). matched it with mission speakers and i liked the sound. i recommend this set-up for newbies.
Hi guys,
I just came across this website : http://www.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/1872.html
do you encounter that on the other marantz receivers here?
I finally bought the 4300,I just want to know if there is really no demo disk included.now my problem is like many people here I'm really having a hard time in choosing between the mission and the wharf.I already auditioned both speakers,but that didn't seem to solve my problem.in fact I think it left me more confused.to my untrained ear it's a tossup,although I think the mission has a miniscule advantage,is it really worth the almost doubled price.my flat is only 25sqm so heres what I'm chooshing between.feel free to give your comment.thanks

philander,
what made you decide to choose the marantz 4300 among the handful of receivers available?
Philander,
How much does the marantz sr4300 cost today?
Thanks everybody for all your suggestion .my marant/mission is almost complete.surrounds na lang ang kulang.grabe..ang gastos pala hehe ;D

Van wild,pare ang ganda ng combination. i'm inquiringpa from mel/anthony for the subs. will probably try it out and if i like it will get it.
Musta pre yun Wharf mo??
hans,
will probably get that same sub. thanks
Bro what speakers are using with the marantz?dracula, i am using wharf 8.1 for front and wharf diamond center. wala pa ko sub probably pass by nirv's place tomorrow
dracula, i am using wharf 8.1 for front and wharf diamond center. wala pa ko sub probably pass by nirv's place tomorrow
How much kuha mo pre?
thanks. ;)
Bullet,
Anong gagawin mo sa extra na diamond center. Do you plan to sell it?
I got the 4300 from Hometheater last April and paired it w/ a mission set up.
M73
M7c2
M71
The sub is custom made by "A Audio" (Boom Baby)
I have an extra rear center (Wharfedale diamond) but I have not connected it yet.
Ganda ng performance ng Marantz & Mission even though generic transparent wires lang ang mga speaker cables ko at yung mga interconnects are from Ace Hardware.
Question sa mga 4300 users.
Hangang saan nyo ba na test ang volume ng AVR nyo, kasi ang max ko ay mga -14 DB lang kasi takot ako baka masira eh.
May mga DVDs kasi na - 23 or -20 lang ang lakas na eh. Meron naman na kahit R1 ay medyo mahina.
Thanks.
How much ang 4300 kay sonny pa pm naman ng price
thanks
Ras,
I'll be using it as a rear center as what Courage said. My original plan was to get the 5300 but according to my ears and with the same speakers tested (M74 as fronts), there is not much of a difference bet. the 43 & the 53. The 6300 is a differnt story in terms of sound quality...(sorry for me I did not have enough dinero although the seller offered me a 30 day credit.
That's why on my way home I got the wharfs from Shang since I downgraded to the 4300. I did not have the chance to install it with my system and it is still in the box. I'll probably test it in due time since I still enjoy the 5.1 and I only have 2 DVDs encoded in DD-EX & DTS-ES.

dracula,
Have you also auditioned the Marantz 4300 paired with Wharfedales?
Well, if you really want the sound of the missions. Go for it. Get the fronts first then the center speaker and the sub. Then konting ipon na lang, you can have speakers for surrounds.
Wag kang magmamadali, maraming nagkakamali sa pagiging impulsive buyer and we ended up selling what we have just bought then bibilhin natin yung talagang gusto natin. In the long run, mas nalulugi tayo.
This is my opinion.
Haven't heard the marantz paired with the wharf's saan ba pwede para maka decide na ako if the price difference is worth it.
Try mo sa Listening Room. Maswerte ka kung maaudition mo at your ease... hehehhe
Oo nga eh hindi kagaya ng pag audition mo kay sonny parang malabo yata yun. Ano set-up mo?
dracula,Better go with the missions.I was in the same boat as you 3 weeks ago,I was really confused to the point of not sleeping,thinking how much money i can save if i go with the wharfs.but I eventually gave in to the majoritys opinion to go with the missions .one thing I can say is thats it's money well spent and I have no regrets.but i must forwarn you that it's very hard if you think that you can endure a piece by piece acquisition(unless you have the discipline of mahatma gandhi :),because ones you get the ball rolling it's definitly hard to stop and I wont be surprised if you complete your setup in a matter of weeks. :)
Just came from sonny's home theater auditioned the 4300 definitely getting it.....problema ko yung speakers my budget was set on buying wharfedales pero ng marinig ko yung mission speakers na naka hook up sa marantz (m73, m7c2 and the m70) parang mas gusto ko yata na mag mission although the set-up will take longer to complete (a lot longer!). Pero tama din si sonny if i get the mission speakers the itch to upgrade will be lesser. What do you guys think?
Getting the mission speakers na siguro this saturday.....bukas ba si sonny ng saturday I forgot na eh ;D. Sa tingin ko with missions malakas ang immunity sa SARS pag wharfs medyo mapapaisip ka pa. ;D
question lang po. what would i be missing if a receiver (in this case the sr-4300) had no component outs? it says sa product specs na s-video and composite connections lang? would this be a big loss, performance and functionality wise? thanks in advance for your replies, best...
sir dracula, sent you pm...thanks

Anyone know how much a Matarantz SR4300 costs?
How's the SR4300 performance when it is connected through pre-amps to a dedicated power amp?
I heard it connected to an Acurus power amp, it rocks bro. :)
I think yung power amp ang magdadala ng sound not the Marantz, just like connecting the 5.1 analog out of the player to a receiver that has 5.1 analog input, so naka base ang sound sa external amplifier.
You just need one power-amp?
sirs, silly question po (please bear with me and don't laugh ;)). is there an AV receiver (in this case marantz) without the radio tuner? will it still be able to function properly as an AV receiver (sans the radio tuner)?
the reason i'm asking is because i want to get an AV receiver but i don't really have any use for the radio tuner. if and when there is such a thing (or whatever thingy it might be called), i guess it would be cheaper and practical.
thanks for your time. best...
patanong lang...saan ba makakahanap ng online or pdf format ng manual ng marantz (SR5200)? nawawala kasi yung manual ko eh..tapos nde ko alam yung code para i program yung remote para sa aiwa dvd player, philips vhs at sony tv.
salamat.
Mga bros, if you were to choose, what combination would be best. I'm working on a 27k budget for a receiver and fronts (70/30, Music/HT).
1. HK3550+8.3 Wharf (~27k) - heard this combination and is very good (actually 2550 lang yun na-audition ko)
OR
2. Marantzsr4300+M73i (~27k) - have not heard this, but based on your posts, this is worth considering.
The HK/Mission combination is out of the question since this is way out of my budget (~32K?).
Philander: Thanks for the info on Mr. Sonny Tuazon. I was able to get the SR4300. Now to plug it into my CREST amps. :)
van_wilder, sent you pm. thanks.ramble_on,
I'm writing this little review for the benifit of those who're buying the SR4300 primarily as a pre-amp as the various AV forums I've visited (including PinoyDVD) have little to no discussion on it.
Complaints
My main complaint is that the SR4300 doesn't come with XLR female sockets but with banana plugs/RCA. This made connecting the AVR to the power amps a bit cumbersome. Imagine you'd have to buy composite cables for all 7 pre-amp outs & buying 7 banana to XLR adaptors so you can connect it to the power amps. Did I mention that finding banana to XLR adaptors are hell? I had to go to Malate just find em!
Another complaint is that the manual doesn't tackle the use of the pre-amp outs of the AVR in full. It only tells you where to plug in the power amp too and doesn't mention that once connected your AVR controls the volume of the power amps & not to freak out if you don't hear anything. The Troubleshooting section of the manual has little to say except that if I can't hear anything my power amps are defective!
Heck I know my power amps aren't defective as we've been using it in concerts so we thought the SR4300 was defective til we jacked up the volume to -30db. At first we were hesitant to break the -40db barrier in fear of damaging the power amps & speakers connected to it.
Once you've passed the installation pains the thing rocks! We played Saving Private Ryan and passers by on the street came in to watch. Watching movies is really a community experience. :)
If you wan't a low costing DD-EX/DTS-ES/DPL2 pre-amp then this is your AVR.
I'll post the setup I've used for this pre-amp once the power to the venue is finished.
What power amp r u using?From what I remember we were using Crown & Crest power amps. I'll post the exact make & model number when I go back to the province. :)
sir dviant okay lang yun. diba indi naman lahat ng power amps eh merong balanced XLR inputs?
sir dviant okay lang yun. diba indi naman lahat ng power amps eh merong balanced XLR inputs?Mine does. :'(
sir, meron po bang affordable na AVR (<=US$1000) na merong balanced XLR ins/outs? nung time na nag-sho-shop around ako for an avr, ang nakita ko lang na merong XLR ins/out eh yung mga ibang separates.Waaaaaaaaahhhh mahal!
anong model sa marantz ang may component video?
i have 30k budget for receiver, any suggestion?
Philander,
Are you sure the Marantz 5300 has component input? Its not in the web and when I was auditioning the unit from Hyperaudio I did not see any component input. That is why I removed Marantz from my list. Even the 6300 does not have component input.
what is the significance of using the component video in receiver? Is it really important on choosing a receiver?
Hi everyone,
Yung 1 year old marantz sr5200 ko pag nanonood ako ng movies like saving private ryan at lord of the rings..kailangan mga nasa -25 db up na ang yung volume setting bago maging enjoyable level (ie. you can feel the sub, clear ang dialogue..). Nde naman ako bingi at nde naman ako mahilig sa masyadong malakas normal ba to with other marantz receivers?
thanks,
skabyol
Baka naman yung settings mo for speaker levels sa set-up mababa?
Ronin,
An unsolicited advice, do check w/ Hometheater or w/ Hyperaudio if you are interested with the Marantz AVR.
They can give you the best deal on these receivers.
Thanks.
Sirs,
ilang watts po ba per channel ang SR4300? will be driving 6 ohms.... ???
Thanks. :D
Sori nga pala kung may nagtanong na...tamad na ako read ng whole thread ;D ;D
question lang to anybody,
i'm using SR4300,
i connnected a surround back speaker, working naman when i tested it sa menu, but when i'm playing a dvd already it doesn't work.what seems to be the problem?
thanks

Sori nga pala kung may nagtanong na...tamad na ako read ng whole thread ;D ;D
Di talaga gagana yan, unless 6.1 encoded ang disc. Iselect mo yung DSP to Matrix, then hear kung may sound na lalabas.
Are you really satisfied sa SR4300? On your personal opinion, what is lacking sa receiver na ito? Thanks.
Sir Philander,
Ang 6.1 ay disc driven? Meaning it depends on what disc you use?
Neways, what if i don't buy muna a surround center, will it work? ;D
Meron bang mga P-disc na 6.1?? hehe ::)Wala pa hehehehheheh.
Oh and 80w/ch x 6 is that good enough? :)
philander, if i understand correctly, kahit hindi 6.1 yung dvd ko, i can just set the left knob to matrix and my center surround will work?
skaybol,
I have a Marantz 4300 and Mission Speakers. My reference level is - 20Db. Some DVDs already sound great at this setting and for some DVDs I have to go to -15 or 12Db to get the desired audio output.
The 4300 manual states that the max. volume is +18 Db so I have more room to crank up the volume (w/c I'm afraid to try).
Check the manual of the 5200 and see what is the max volume for your model.
I think you can still crank up the voule more in your case and it is normal as long as you do not hear any distortion.
Thanks
sir bullet,
may i ask kung anu-anong mission speakers ang ginagamit mo for your sr4300? i've heard marantz-mission combo is impressive and i dream to have one ;D
thanks :)
What does S-DIRECT do?
S-Direct is a Source-Direct.
It by-passes all tone control in the receiver's section, meaning you can't control bass, tremble and even bass-managment.
Source Direct mode bypasses, tone controls and bass management for purest audio quality.
So lahat ng sound output will depend on the source.
sir question, yung source direct ba ng marantz just bypasses the tone and bass mgmt, or pati yung analog-to-digital conversion ng signals from the analog inputs (does the marantz do that in the first place?)?
i used to have an sr4200 pero di ko na maalala
oops, what i meant sir eh kung pati yung Analog-to-Digital conversion eh naba-bypass ng Source Direct... just curious!
thanks!
yamaha rxv530 vs marantz sr4300..
which is better? considering the rxv530 is 13.8k compared to marantz' 15.5 pricetag......???
Technically Marantz is better, no contest. Its just a matter of sound preferences.
hello sir.. good day.. what shops/stores do sell marantz 4300 the cheapest? thanks
You may try at the Hometheater.
http://www.hometheaterph.com
thanks for the quick response sir... aside from hometheater.. any stores/shops here in ortigas area? ;)
Technically Marantz is better, no contest. Its just a matter of sound preferences.
how about onkyo and marantz?any differences? ;)
What particular model of Marantz & Onkyo?
Okay, for example between the Marantz SR5300 and Onkyo TX-SR600.
Onkyo TX-SR600
95 watts/channel
192kHz/24-bit DAC
96kHz/24-bit ADC
Component Video In/Out
Speaker B
Price--?
Marantz SR5300:
90 watts/channel
192kHz/24-bit DAC
96kHz/24-bit ADC
More digital Outputs/Inputs
6.1 Analog Pre-Outs
CS II
Price--?
Almost the same.
But for Marantz SR4300 and Onkyo TX-SR500, again, techically Marantz is better.
thanks for the info sir.. question.. acquired 2nd hand valdus 100 and center and planning for the meantime to use it as fronts and center.. until i find a valdus 300 or 400 if there is still old stocks somewhere.. would they match well with the marantz 4300? :)
http://www.designer-audio.com/products/wharfedale/valdus1.htm#specifications
Valdus 100
100 watts - 180 watts
88 dB
8 ohms
Valdus Center
100 watts - 180 watts
90 dB

If not mistaken, these speakers form a series and share the same drivers and tweeters. Only difference is the cabinet size and number of drivers which increase as you go up the series. So if your valdus 100 sounds good on your marantz, no reason why the higher series, presumably with better bass, can't sound just as good. What's your receiver's power and speaker impedance rating?
If you are planning to get the 6.1 Marantz then you could use the valdus for the rear then get another Wharf for your center and front. I just remembered that I saw Valdus at Virramall before. If you are in the area you can go to the 2nd floor and look for the shop Martin. Its one of the middle lanes, I just cant remember the exact lane. Just ask the guard or try going around the middle lanes. Virra Mall is very small so you would definitely find the place. Have you tried asking at Listening Room in megamall, they also sell Valdus before.
I know the person who supplied the Marantz receivers to the AV stores but he is willing to change the unit if found to be defective. Im not sure if he is the only one supplying or importing the receiver.
hello Philander.....pmd you!....anayway i saw the sr4300
in festivall mall....it is price@ 17.5 k.....hmmmm...just wanna know know wer i can get anylower than that?....saan pala yung hyperaudio? ;D.....i also wanna get mission speakers for it!....the m7s looks good e...any suggestions? ty
ha?....wala pa ako receive e.......how can i check it?....wers hyperaudio? ty
wers hyperaudio? ty
Dudes,
Any idea where i can get a sr4300? Texted Hyperaudio a while ago and wala na daw siya.
try THE HOME THEATER - 8125235...pero very dificult to get one these days...try also ELECTRONICS DEPOT at festival mall, alabang 8)
Has anybody here tested the actual multi-channel power output of the Marantz 5300?
Does it really deliver continuous 85W power to all 6 channels at the same time?
I'm asking since a lot of AVRs that report high wattage ratings (100+w/channel) actually drop to around 25w-35w only per channel in multi-channel mode.
I'm asking since a lot of AVRs that report high wattage ratings (100+w/channel) actually drop to around 25w-35w only per channel in multi-channel mode.
They have to. Afterall, there's only so much power consumption. Whether 2 channel or 6 channels, the power supply is fixed. So if a receiver says 100 watts rms per chanell in stereo, that's 200 watts rms total. Check the max power consumption at the back. If it says about 280 or 350 watts max, that's accurate. But don't expect the receiver to give 100 watts rms per channel on multi-channel mode. Where will it get another 300 or 400 watts?
Just for comparison, the Rotel multi-ch amplifier rmb-1066 i think gives out only 65 watts rms per channel. It has 6 channels eating a maximum power consumption of about 700 watts. That's very generous power reserve that takes care of transient peaks and the bridgeable power of 150 watts rms per channel into 3 channels. Total of 450 watts output. Rule to follow: an amp or receiver cannot give out a total rms power more than or equal to the maximum power it consumes.
honestly I don't think the marantz is capable of doing 80 watts continuous on all 6 channels. I'll try to get the link that has a comparison of most receivers' actula power outputs on all channels driven.
mga brod,
pa pm naman yung sr4300 kung saan pwedeng makabili at magkano (cheapest price). will appreciate it. thanks... :)

I am a proud owner of a Marantz 6300 :D. Panalo talaga sya for music, for ht laid back and warm (ok din).
For the price wala ko masabi, it's "really" cheap for the price but marvelous on performance. I tested it with mission and played diana krall, grabe parang katabi ko lang sya ;D.
BTW I bought it at sir Sonny T's place, very accommodating and I learned a lot from him.
Marantz users need your help
I have a marantz 6300 paired with mission speakers, my problem is mahina sya, I need to put the volume to around -5 (max vol is +7) para ma appreciate mo yun sound, pero for me mahina pa rin. Yun surround ang hina din parang bumubulong lang, kapag na sa -30 ka halos wala ka na marinig, actually malakas pa yung altec speakers ko na pro logic and 50 watts rms lang. I know there's nothing wrong with my speakers bec nung tinest yun sa store with HK 2550 with the same cables, ang lakas nya. My room is only 3.5x3.5 sq meter and closed pa, so I expected na malakas yung kalalabasan pero I was wrong.
Ano kaya problema, any insights?
Marantz users need your helpbaka yun gain settings lang ng each channel.. then check ur wiring.. but best thing is. READ the manual

Nung tinest sa store yun receiver di ko nakita yung volume level, pero ok naman, yun sakin iba talaga eh, nagulat nga ako bakit ganun lang sya kalakas considering na mataas na model na yun 6300 and high current pa.
I will play around with the settings later and keep you updated
Philander I didn't receive you pm
actually hindi pa nga gumagana yung sa dvd (philips 727k), I connected it via optical pero no sound :-\.
I'm interested with this marantz receiver but some review say that it sounds anaemic in ht but very musical, can anyone confirm this. My dilemma is between this, Harman and Onkyo. Is marantz near the sound of onkyo and Harman ht wise?.
This receiver is very cheap in price, I just hope that it doesn't work as cheap as the price.
marantz user need your advice
I'm interested with this marantz receiver but some review say that it sounds anaemic in ht but very musical, can anyone confirm this. My dilemma is between this, Harman and Onkyo. Is marantz near the sound of onkyo and Harman ht wise?.
This receiver is very cheap in price, I just hope that it doesn't work as cheap as the price.
marantz user need your advice
....im a proud owner of the 7300 model (got it last sunday!) and offhand i can say that it performs magnificently on BOTH music & movies...
Ey congrats, please post your review to Marantz 7300 paired with Mordaunt Short speakers.. new combination yan..
If marantz is more of a musical receiver while yamaha is more of an ht receiver bec of its cinematic effects, will marantz perform better on movie soundtracks or yamaha is still the winner since it is till with regards to movies, cinema, ht or whatever you call it?
any comment on this?
btw, I'll be using mission speakers.
meron bang marantz service center dito sa pinas?
san yung location bro? meron kaba number nila??
akyatbundok,
btw, I also normally use circle sound II for 2 channel source listening. it certainly improves the sound quality!
if I am not mistaken, it seems that only marantz and kenwood have included CSII in their current AVR models.
Hi Guys!
Got my marantz 6300 from Sonny T. last week! Got also my Mission Speakers from him a few months back.
Thanks to Gutierez and all of you for the insights.
Although I'm experiencing the same low speaker volume (same as Gutierez's problem) as I tested it out last weekend. I've not played around with the settings yet but hoping I could fix it.
Sa Yamaha ko kasi dati, plug and play lang. I tried both optical cable and RCA cable for the audio, parehong mahina.
Pero I know maganda itong Marantz, narinig ko ito sa demo e. Kaya dapat ma-achieve ko din ito.
Thanks!
Bkit kaya ganun yun 6300 pag nasa demo room ok sya pero pag nasa bahay na di na ok ::)
It's weird that tatlo na tayo with the same problem, what could be wrong?
Probably becoz the demo room has better acoustic ambiannce than your own room na....or the speakers used,cables are different from what you are using
Bkit kaya ganun yun 6300 pag nasa demo room ok sya pero pag nasa bahay na di na ok ::)
It's weird that tatlo na tayo with the same problem, what could be wrong?
baka iba yung sub woofer na gamit nung demo?It has nothing to do with the sub, coz wala pa ko sub, yun front and center mahina yun rear bumubulong lang. Kapag di ko pa naayos to mmya bebenta ko nalang and just go with HTIB anyway magsing lakas lang naman sila, I'm pissed off and disappointed na >:(
as long as its under warranty.. if you have a problem with your receiver... return it to the store where you purchased it to resolve the problem that you are encountering.. or if possible, let the store technician calibrate your setup at your house.. ;D
di kaya naka-ON ang ATT mode (attenuate) by default? pag press mo ng ATT sa remote, magiging kalahati ang volume level. yung usually malakas like -10 ay magiging mahina.
yup, that's another possibility... on marantz receivers its called Night Mode. when its turned on, loud passages become... well, not loud, as if the receiver is turning down the volume for you automatically.
so there may be 2 reasons your sr6300 isn't playing loud:
ATT mode - cuts down the volume in half
NIGHT mode - cuts down the volume of loud passages
Thats weird bro....palit unit ka na lang ;Dkung pwede lang sana, pero it's not possible ksi ok naman nung i-test sa store
kung pwede lang sana, pero it's not possible ksi ok naman nung i-test sa store
BAD TRIP talaga, I spent a lot of money for this pero hanggang ngayon di ko pa sya nagagamit >:(, sayang lang pera huhuhuhu :'(
I checked these settings and neither is turned on
I went back to the store and everything is fine naman when they checked the avr with the same kind of speakers, volume is loud and ok. When I got back home, I just connected the avr (w/o touching the settings) but still no good :P. I tried different connectors optical, rca coax and tested the unit on diff audio source (dvd, xbox, tv) but evrythin is still the same.
I guess I'm stuck up :P, hope that someone can help me out.
Better yet bring the speakers with the receiver and your speaker wires and interconnects on where you bought them and have them installed at the shop then you will know what is wrong. Hassle lang but then you'll know what is wrong.
gutierrez
why dont you invite some of em pinoydvd dudes for lunch and have them help you, hehe. coz i feel some em guys heads are itching and fingers twitching to know whats causing your dilemna. i for one would really like to know what's wrong with the setup coz am eyeing the marantz 6300 too. :)
That seems ok, gusto ko nga ma test yun setup ko with a different receiver to isolate the problem, hope someone kind enough will test their receiver to mine :)
Im' from pasig, near sta lucia east mall
cool - i sort of know the area, i'll be in the UP area tom am. afternoon, libre ka?
have you checked the speaker cables? usually hihina ang volume, especially yung bass, pag nagkabaligtad yung termination.
I recently got this cd player to replace my Samsung dvd player as a music source. It sounded ok when I auditioned it at AV Surfer with a NAD T741 receiver and Definitive Technology speakers certainly better than the Sony DVD player that they had hooked up. However, when I brought it home and hooked it up to a NAD C320BEE and Wharfedale Diamond 8.1s music exhibited harshness and some tracks that sounded quite good on my dvd player were now difficult to listen to. I searched the web and came across a suggestion in audioreview.com to invert my speaker connections as the player could exhibit phase inversion. Tried it and viola! full bodied sound with focused mid-range and tight bass.
Can somebody please explain why this (phase inversion by the source) could happen? Will the remedy lead to shortening my amp's or speakers lives?
i've experienced this before... one of my front speakers was out of phase because i reversed the + and - wire. it just sounded "wrong" or "bitin", with lost dynamics. maybe it was cancelling the sound of the other speaker?
it could also be your source... see this post that i took from the Sources forum.
This is indeed the best thing to do, but the problem is I bought the speakers and avr on a different store so of course dun sa store wer I purchased the receiver will blame the speakers or cables or vice versa
I've tried to increase the speaker level and indeed the loudness increased Mas malakas na siya pero hindi pa din kasing ganda ng sa setup kay Sonny T.hindi ba nakakapagtaka pag sa store malakas pero pag sa bahay mahina na ::) (using same kind of speakers)
I'm using Marantz 6300, Mission m73i (Front and Center), Yamaha NS45 for surround and surround center(from my old setup). I'm also using Optical Cable from DVD to AVR.
What's the ideal speaker level setup ba? Some say it's +3 pero ako I had to set to +10.
By the way, I'm more particular sa Front Left and Right pag nakikinig. So what I meant by mahina is mahina ang Front Left and Right.
I'm beginning to believe that it's the room acoustics that's causing the volume to sound soft. The room is 3 X 4 Meters.
Thanks!
try mo nalang dalhin sa store na pinag bilhan mo para sigurado ka talaga (setting talaga or meron magic). the better kung madadala mo yung speaker and cables. 100% makikita mo yung problem.
alam ko sa electronics equiment pwede mong papalitan ng other brand within one week kung nde ka satisfied.
gutierrez,
levi might be right, the speakers might need to be broken in. i noticed that when my friend bought his new m72i's, they weren't as powerful nor as great sounding as they are today. but from your description, it seems that the sound is way weaker from what you would expect so it may still not be the answer to your problem.
have you tried other sources as they've suggested (fm radio, tv)? or maybe you can borrow a different set of speaker cables so that at least you can isolate the problem.
anyway, if iceman is coming over to test his receiver and speakers with yours, i think then we'll finally know the answer to this riddle.
Baka naman meron dyan marantz and mission (m70i's) user na mabait and willing to let me audition his stuff, para naman ma compare ko yun sakin and figure out what's wrong.
I'm gettin dissapointed na kasi with my setup, ksi hanggang ngayon di ko pa maenjoy ;D
pre, just to be sure.. try muna natin maglagay ng sub sa setup mo and let's hear the effect. i have a small 8" sub that's easy to carry around but it packs a wallop (100w rms, 400w dynamic). nasa kaibigan ko pa, test din niya sa setup niya just to get an idea what size he needs. pagbalik niya dalhin natin sa inyo.
hindi ba nakakapagtaka pag sa store malakas pero pag sa bahay mahina na ::) (using same kind of speakers)
Yun room ko half size lang ng demo room so it should sound louder pero grabe ang hina. Yun settings mo na +10 lahat ng individual speakervolume is todo na yun, nung binalik ko yun 6300 sa store the speaker level is just +6 (pero malaks na, as in).
One more thing is yun mga marantz 4300 users di sila umaabot ng ganun so something's not right :-\
Hi Gutierez!
I think I got my setup working already and satisfied na ako. Although I know there are still lots of tweaking to do.
I guess it was not the AVR's fault at all! It was mine.
First, the speaker level. I've set them ALL back to +5 (in the mean time) and it sounds just right. I also connected my 10" Sub for added boom. Set all the speakers to SMALL. But in fairness, OK na din kahit walang sub. Pwedeng pwede for stereo listening.
Okey na siya! Maganda na ang tunog.
Regards,
rond,
ok ha.....hmmmmmm i got a marantz sr4300.......gusto ko sana i bi-wire....pero accoustimass 7 ang speakers ko can in be bi wired?.....well if not....if ill get a b2 (kung makaipon ako) :D......how can i connect it sa amp ko?.....di ba ill be runniing 2 pairs of wires for each channel?(L/R lang naman).....pano yung papunta sa amp? ty......philander?......hehehehehehe ;D
pare i may be wrong but i think the missing link in your setup is a subwoofer. would be interesting to hear the speakers in your listening area, but your philips dvd player, sr6300 receiver & cables seem fine.
gutierrez,
were u able to isolate the cause of your problem? updates nman pre :)
bro, how much is it bnew? i got it 2nd hand from a fellow pinoydvd member. it was in bnew condition very well kept, and he sold it for the same price range as a bnew sr5300.
its quite a big investment to get it brand new... if you want u can audition it in my listening area, dala lang kayo ng coke at siopao hehe bili naman ako ng pizza.
Hi JVM,
I'm also on a lookout for ways to improve my 2 channel listening. And from what i have read so far, a dedicated 2 channel amp will surely beat an av amp at the same price point and several price points up. So if you are happy with the home theater performance of the 4300 but you are just looking to improve stereo listening, then spending the money on a dedicated stereo amp would be the way to go.
just my 1 peso (=US$0.02)
Skabyol
xXx,
im curious lang sir why you change NAD to marantz? sabi nila mataba daw sa music ang T762? did you sold out na your T762?
Jvm,
Try to consider Tube amp pre... have the chance to have a Scott vintage intergrated and compared it with my HK iba talaga and separate for audio... each amp have its own characteristic and attack on the music I played.. Jazz and mellow sound Scott and Hk naman for Rock and disco.. sarap hehehe both world pwede just relax and enjoy the music.. 8) 8)
jvm,
Yes, same advice when i talked to nico :).
Another cheap stereo "upgrade" recommended while waiting for funds for an equipment upgrade is to play around with your speaker placement (if you haven't already). There are several different methods..ie audio physic. Here is a link if you are interested.
http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/faq/audiophysic.html
What equipment do you have with paired your 4300?.
Hope you find what you are looking for good luck.
I'm aborting my plan to upgrade. I already auditioned the 6300. My impression is that in terms of musicality, there is negligible difference. It's only the power that's the big difference. But in real life listening levels, I would not be able to crank up volume that high so as to really hear the difference. And one important thing also, is that the monney that I would be adding for the upgrade, is almost the price the cheapest Rotel amp that I saw at THT, just add a little more.
I was also advised by Mr. Tuason not to go HK as the company have a problem on parts support.
So, on with plan B; a dedicated audio set-up. I have seen Rotel stereo amps at THT, and they are quite affordable, ranging from 11K-20k. I have also seen and heard a tube amp at arch audio, TS(xxx)?, worth 17k.
I've heard a tube-B2 combi and they really sound great. I have yet to hear any Rotel model. What can you say about Rotels? Would they be a good combi with B2's? I was not able to audition them last Saturday because of time constraints.
What are pro's and con's of tube against integrateds?
hi sir, pls dont get me wrong but i personally think that HK doesn't have any Parts Support problem. that is one of the primary reason i got a hk receiver, i considered parts and service support (other than it sounds great).
If you will look at previous pages here, there was a member here who had a problem with his marantz rcvr. what was the solution, it was replace with another brand.... now where is the parts support?
anyway, no one yet has answered if there is a service center for marantz?
note: im not against marantz but i just disagreeing about HK having Parts Support problem...
peace....
I didn't meant to discredit or downgrade any brand, I'm just sharing what I've heard. Which might prompt interested members to verify it as they might have more reliable info. :)
i just feel what you heard is a tactic... ;)
Well, knowing THT is one of the stores that's highly recommended by members, they don't have to resort to this tactic. IMHO :)
OT...reality check.. almost all stores would praise to high heavens specially when selling to a potential customer brands they carry.. overall its still the customer's decision whatever he/she decides and finally buy which he/she deems reasonable to his/her hard earned money.. just my 5 cents worth
Hey guys IMHO lang, a dealer should be careful about putting down other brands esp. those they don't carry, because it could easily be misinterpreted as self-serving. Even if it is their honest opinion, it still serves them better than the dealer of those brands. I would rather hear a negative review from someone who is carrying the brand. At least he would be speaking from experience. I automatically get wary when somebody has all negative views on a certain brand. Anyway, IMHO almost all brands have lemons and almost all brands have star performers.
I once met this guy who owns lots of great gear. He was a cool guy... very generous... he let me audition his gear for almost 2hrs. But everytime i mention a brand that he does not have, he has a negative comment about it. Within a split-second of saying the last syllable of any brand, he would have a comment like: "mahirap sa parts yan" or "manipis tunog nyan". To the point that i would mention just any brand to test if he was pulling my leg. Anyway, my point is that he seemed to be defending his choices rather than helping me choose the one i need.
I found Jim (Spectra) & Nico (Archi) to be unique.. they actually have positive comments about brands they don't carry.
jvm,
bro, how would you describe the sound of the marantz/b2 pair. match ba? also read that medyo bitin ang marantz sa HT. Is this true?
jvm,
thanks pre! ksi i like marantz having pre outs eh and 6.1 na. still deciding pa between hk and marantz but thanks a lot for ur inputs bro!
makapost na rin dito sa thread na to:
bought an SR7300ose today. it is a replacement for the NAD T762 which is also good but sounds different with some music cds i have.
still testing and playing around with it at the moment. i'm enjoying it. will let you guys know..
;) xXx

If you don't mind, how much is this SR7300ose in Toronto?
Thanks.
;Dhehehe I think I know why the BIG smile ;D
ako ba ito?
Just tap me from behind. I'm open to comments. At least from those comments we'll improve
oisst pre nels76, hinde ikaw no... ikaw eh 2 out of 3... very cool & generous pero hinde negatibo ang comments mo hehe. actually you broke the ice for me, im more open to meeting guys from this forum bcoz of you. before mahiyain pa ako dito. ;) yung guy na na-meet ko matagal na yun years ago pa, even before naging member ako sa pinoydvd... dati kasi mahilig na ako bumili ng buy&sell newspaper at marami na din ako napuntahan na setup ng fellow enthusiasts from way back. yung acoustic energy setup ko nga nabuo from buy&sell eh.
hi xXx, congrats sir, i have the non-ose version and im very happy with it also. one of the closest thing to a stereo amp that ive heard in a receiver, though i havent heard that many.
akyat,
i think the 7300 and 7300 ose are basically the same, the ose is just the supercharged version. Upgraded power supply (110w x 6), better shielding, gold plated jacks and a copper plated chassis with bottom plate.
;) xXx
Just to add, merong HDCD decoder ang 7300ose.
bought an SR7300ose today. it is a replacement for the NAD T762 which is also good but sounds different with some music cds i have.
xXx, seems you and the previous owner of my sr7300 went opposite directions. he sold me his marantz so he can switch to the T762. yun lang hindi OSE version yung kanya.
i second raycor's question: does marantz have a service center here?
hi!...saw these...new marantz receivers...SR4400 and SR5400

Did you buy it in Singapore?
Marantz also have this sgd$50 voucher which you can use til end of Dec 2003. Is the price after the discount voucher?
hi jt, how's your sr4400. match ba sa missions mo? :) saan mas bagay, movies or music?
Toshiba,
I managed to set it up last night pero di ko pa nako-configure yung mga channels. Yung tunog nya ngayon eh halos kapareho lang nung dati kong amp kasi di pa naka setup ng maayos.
Superman,
Pre, tips naman kung ano-ano yung pwede kong i set para mas maganda ang tunog.
Bhot,
Post ko this weekend.
Galing din Marantz 7300 ni akyat sa Stereo.
Considering that the other great gears were there like:
- Sansui Amp
- Narayan's Musical Fidelity Amp
But when we heard the 7300 on stereo, we were also pleased by its sound. May ibubuga siya sa 2 gears mentioned above.

Guys,
any update on the Marantz 4400??
Di pa ba available diyan?
Wala pa sa dito (pinas). Meron na sa Singapore? If so how much?
Kung walang marantz voucher ay around 500sgd (incl GST) . W/ voucher less 50sgd.
JT,
Meron akong voucher pero nawawala. Hanapin ko at kung nakita ko bigay ko nalang sa iyo. Basta pa demo nalang ng setup mo minsan. You can also check my setup when you have time.
i believe the new SR6400, SR7400 was just released last Dec 4 here in the US.
if im not mistaken, walang 6400 ang marantz or at least wala pa

Hello guys,
I not sure if this belongs to this thread. But I'll just have to post this so that everybody should be forewarned to what has happened to me. This is about my purchase of my marantz-model sr4300.
I purchased the receiver sr 4300 sometime last April this year. Last September, I experienced a trouble on the display, "error pow5v". I sent it to the store (Circuit City of Cebu) where I bought it and the latter forwarded to the dealer in Manila. That was September 13, 2003.
What is very annoying is that, everytime I did my follow-up since September, the store had been promising me for the nth time that the unit is ready for shipment, but it didn't arrived. Finally, two weeks ago, I was able to contact the dealer in Manila in the person of Mr. Timothy Tan and told me that the unit is ready for pickup by the forwarder. However, until now I haven't received the unit.
Just recently he can't be contacted in his cellphone anymore. My store where I bought my receiver seems to be feed up with lies of Mr. Tan. As of this writing, I don't know if I can recover the unit, because I was just informed by the store that they are planning to replace it with a new one.
Anybody have the same experience like this? Does anyone of you out there in Manila know this guy? For those marantz lovers, beware of buying anything from one of the dealers, MR. TIMOTHY TAN.
5400 should do the trick...
if you really are in a budget, 4400 will barely suffice.

just got a new marantz sr6300. bought it here in the philippines for 25K. maganda ung ung rating nya and im very satisfied with the performance. 6.1 so it supports DDex and DTSes. paired it with JBL scs178 speaker system which i bought for 25K also!!!
mixx, review naman pls. ng sr6300 if possible.
many thanks in advance!!!
maganda yung build quality niya, compared to a denon in the price range. all metal chassis design, higher output 100wrms@20-20khz 8ohms, malinis ang tunog even itodo mo at 0db (+10db max niya) very clear on the dialogs the only drawback is mas kaunti ang dsp settings than a yamaha and xover freq for the subs is fixed at 100hz a good buy for 25K

Daemon,
I have an SR 4300 together with a MIssion Set up. (M731,M7C2 & M71i).
The marantz can drive them well since the speakers have high sensitivity. They are already nice sounding out of the box.
You can try other speakers too and find out what type of sound pleases you most.
Better wait for the 5400 to come!!! ;D
BuLLeT, our set-up is almost the same. our difference is in the fronts coz i'm using m72i & i have the m7c1 as my surround back. just wondering what your sub is. i currently have a dq12 which i want to upgrade.
thanks a lot!
New Models (x400) will be in the Philippines around June / July.

HI Larry Boy,
For my surround back, I am using Wharf diamond 8C since I can't afford another M7C2 hehehe. The surround back has been removed from the set up by my wife for the time being.
I am using a sub from Nirv which is using a 10 inch driver and it is front firing. But hey, this 10 incher can sound like a 12 incher and was able to fill up my salas and dining area with tight & deep bass. The thing is it has only one input at the back and a volume & bass control. But it's really a bang for the buck. ;D
The place where my set up is not an ideal one since there is a lot of open space since a 2nd story is being planned to be constructed.
But the system can play loud nough for us. NOrmal listening level is -23 Db for those sources with strong audio signal.
Never went below -15 for movies & music.

Good day to everyone
I’m just a newbie here in your forum, and I’m still in the process of learning. I was able to drop in your site when the time I was looking for a good dvd player, your site had given me a lot of information that I used to be of no knowledge before. I learned a lot in a short period of time.
Anyway after I acquired my first dvd player and returned to your site, my wants to setup a HT was at its highest peak, after reading members reviews on good AV receiver and in a short time period of I was able to narrow my choices to the following (in no particular order):
HK
Onkyo
Denon
Marantz
Yamaha
Nad
My wants to setup a good HT system keeps coming and last Saturday I was able to drop-by three places in festival mall I looked at Yamaha, marantz and onkyo. The banner of electronic depot about marantz sr4300 catch my attention and after some conversation and listening with the marantz plus wharfdale setup, I decided to reserve the unit. They are kind, they just asked me for a P500 initial down payment for the unit, and I can’t wait for Saturday to pick it up.
Now, I have some few questions for fellow members out there,
1. What is the best speaker that I can match with the said unit and any idea on the price? my budget is between 25k - 35K and I’ll probably getting one in the next few weeks.
I’m still a newbie and probably won’t hear the difference between any pair of setup. I trust this forum with this and I’m relying on most of the suggestion that I’m getting on this thread.
2. can I use my existing JVC speaker (100 watts, 6 ohms) temporarily for this unit?
3. any tips will be highly appreciated…
thanks for your patience to a newbie,
thanks courage
its highly appreciated
Hey congrats on ur future Marantz, alam ko naiinip ka na ehehehe, i know the feeling. Marantz is a very good sounding amp, ganda pa sa music, Audition ka lang nang speakers and pag nagpaudition ka tell them to use Marantz para alam mo na agad kung compatible or hindi
Now, I have some few questions for fellow members out there,
1. What is the best speaker that I can match with the said unit and any idea on the price? my budget is between 25k - 35K and I’ll probably getting one in the next few weeks.
thanks for your patience to a newbie,
Is the 25 - 35K budget for front speakers alone for 5 speakers or for 5.1 speaker system?
I'm using Marantz 4300 paired with Wharfs, my straight advice though is to get or to try another speakers: MA, MS, Mission, KEF, etc.
1. What is the best speaker that I can match with the said unit and any idea on the price? my budget is between 25k - 35K and I’ll probably getting one in the next few weeks.
I’m still a newbie and probably won’t hear the difference between any pair of setup. I trust this forum with this and I’m relying on most of the suggestion that I’m getting on this thread.
2. can I use my existing JVC speaker (100 watts, 6 ohms) temporarily for this unit?
3. any tips will be highly appreciated…
thanks for your patience to a newbie,
The JBL rated at 100w, 6ohms shouldn't be a problem as your interim speakers. They might in fact sound good on the Marantz so you may not have to buy a new one, except perhaps the surrounds and sub.
lets just say i want to have a good system the will reduce my desire for upgrade.
sir philander
what would you suggest? my initial thinking would be for the whole 5.1 system, but i can have it for the front alone however it will extend the time needed to complete the system. based on your experience and urge, what will you recommend?
thanks
oops, sorry about that. JVC pala. My eyes are playing tricks already. ;D Well, regardless, as long as we're talking of the same 100 watt 6 ohm rating. I mean you don't listen at full volume naman, do you?
but the new series is already there, you may want to try it also...
For Marantz, MA & Mission will be a good match both for HT and pure audio.
I suggest that you start with a pair of a good front speakers, then a sub, then center and use your JVC speakers temporarily for surround.
Mission M33 is a nice choice.
probably i'll try the new series. do you have any idea on the price difference of the the model?

mga sir,
kamusta po ang service ng marantz?
any problem so far in ur unit?
san po ninyo pina service? and how long?
any actual/personal experience?
thanks
So far, ok pa naman ang unit ko. Nung Nov2003 lang nabili. Kung sa Pinas gagamitin, make sure to use line conditioner.
Sir jt,
ano po ang line conditioner? are u referring to automatic voltage regulator?
thanks,
marami pong salamat sir JT,
i will use my vacant UPS for the amp.
anyway i'm currently using my sr4300 paired with bose 201 speaker, hindi kaya mag kaproblema kung ang specs ng bose is 20 - 120 watts / 4 - 8 ohms? di kaya masira ang speaker o ang amp?
thanks again
marami pong salamat sir JT,
i will use my vacant UPS for the amp.
Just make sure the electric power rating limits of your UPS can cover the electric power consumption of your receiver.
thanks av_phile1
i usually listen at -10 db volume, pinakamalakas na ang 0db, the power consumption is 325 watts stated at the back. the unit is attached to two speaker only. adequate na po siguro ang UPS 300 watts for the mean time?
what do members think?
thanks philander
i will definitely consider your suggestion for 1000kva, 500 watts, however for the mean time, which would be better, to plug it directly to AC outlet or use my 500kva, 300 watts UPS?
your insight will be highly appreciated.
Also, may protector naman ata yang UPS mo, fuse or something or a beeping sound when overpower is occured so you can turn down the volume immediately.
i have listen for i think 2 hours pero hindi naman sya ganun kainit, pwede syang hawakan pero di ka mapapaso. probably i have a good ventilation at home. may ceiling fan kasi na malakas ang hangin. or probably because it is connected to 2 speaker only?
Might be. I have AC in my room (what more if I dont use it). I connected it to 5 speakers with about 100 watts and 6-ohms load each.... kailangan ko pa ring tapatan ng electric fan.
sir av_phile1,
eto po ang output ng ups
Output power capacity 500 VA
Output power capacity 300 Watts
Nominal output voltage 230 V
dati po syang ginagamit sa desktop PC & printer
thanks
If i recall right, the wharfedale diamonds that I had, while nominally rated for 6 ohms, exhibited a DC resistive load of less than 3.6 ohms when I measured them using a VOM.
correct me if i'm wrong, is it mean that wharfedale is more near 4 ohms rather than 6 ohms?
av_phile1
thanks for the explanation
correct me again,
if your amp is plug in and does not providing any signal or is idle, the tendency is for the amp to get hotter because it only sees the resistive impedance which is lower than nominal impedance, because lower impedance is much harder to drive?

to fellow member:
any comments or tips for a MS 906 and marantz 4300 combi...
thanks
seguro mainitin lang talaga ang sr4300. I used to have the wharfes-ongkyo setup and I experienced a very hot on top. I replaced it with sr4300 pero ganoon din ang nangyari. Right now I'm pairing my B& W with 8-ohm speakers, pero ganoon umiinit din, very hot. So i decided to buy fans placed on top and the problem is solved. Pero, I'm getting unnecessary sounds emitted by the fans which is affecting dynamic range of my listening room because I have to raise my vol just to get rid of the sound of the small propellers. So its not advisable for serious listening.
If the Marantz can accept 6 ohm load, I don't see any problem. If I recall right, the DTX slim series are 6 ohmers.
Not sure about 4300, 4400 can take 6 or 8 ohms.
Pare try using those Fans na kinakabi sa loob nang PC, tapos lagyan mo nang rubber feet bawat side para nde mag vibrate. Very silent nang mga fan na ito, so wala ka masyadong maririnig unless u go near sa receiver mo tapos u put the volume sa 0, pero mahina pa rin yung sound.
Courage, how do you install power supply? External 12v?
ras1842,
Sir meron fan available sa sm hardware 220v tapos with rubber footing na.. just plug it sa 110v para silent operation..
Hans and France, hindi ba masusunog pag 220v plugged it to 110?

I used to be owner of SR-4300 mabilis mag-init, maybe becuase di siya real power! Try nyo multi-channel stereo and the effect is hihina ang volume kasi na devide power from each speaker so ang tendency you have to increase the volume. This might be the reason why madaling mag-init and SR-4300 hindi discrete ang amplifier.
Now I switch to SR-6300 pag nag multi-ch stereo ka you will need to to lower the volume. And noticed an improvement on DTS playback compared to SR-4300 IMHO
guys, i just saw new models of marantz at 5th ave parksquare:
SR-4500 - 17k
SR-5500 - 27k
onga sir, i guess those episodes several pages ago about the mysteriously weak 6300 had people staying away from the brand, even though the *400 models were said to have more accurate power ratings.
if only the price was 21k for the 5500 then the 7500 would probably be within my range, but i did ask the sales rep several times coz the 5500 didn't have a price tag on it, he said 27k..... sana yun ang price ng 7500 hehe.

HI! TULONG PLSSS....ON SR4400, nakabili kasi ako kagabi, actually naikabit kona ung front speaker, ok naman sya, kaya lng ung sub woofer wala yatang signal, i set it to (sw=yes) pero ayaw parin, baka lang po may nakaexperienced na nito.
sir JT, SUPERMAN OR KUNG SINO MAN PO ANG NAGKAROON NA NG GANITONG MODEL TULONG NAMAN PO. ???
SALAMAT,

parang meron ako na-experience dati na katulad nito..... set CENTER=yes.
doesn't make sense i know, hehehe pero subukan mo na rin, sa dami ng kinalikot ko that time di ko na maalala kung paano bumalik yung subwoofer signal.
Ako rin na experience ko rin yan. reset mo yun unit to reload the factory default settings.
allvin_98
tama ka sir, nag reset ako, then set ko ulit SW=YES, yun may signal na. hehehehe......
thanks guys, PAPAANO NALANG KUNG WALA ANG PDVD... ;) ;) ;)
NAKAKATUWA TALAGANG MANGALIKOT! HEHEHE....

guys alam ko sale ang sr4400, anniversary sale daw, so i think the price is from 17+ to 13+, so hurry limited stocks lang, sa electronic depot, glorieta alimall and alabang hindi ko lang alam saan dun. ???
sir,sir ano ba ang pair mong speaker? kapag wharfedale ang speaker mo eh mabibitin ka lang sa power.as much as possible mataas dapat ang sensitivity ng speaker mo.
tanong ko lang po kung magkano kuha mo ng SR4400? musta po performance nito sa ht at sa music?
thanks,
:)
sir,,,question lang po...ok po ba ipair ang marantz to bnw 602s3?? what particular model po yung pwede? pwede na po ba sr4400 or sr4500?? tnx po.. :)

so cguro sr4500 na nga..if marantz ang kukunin ko...
sir jt n sir vhong..tnx sa suggestion po...50-50 ko namn cguro siya gagamitin..or minsan maslamang ang ht(70-30)...
I used to have an all B&W 601 setup with my Marantz SR7200 and the combination is sweet. Warmness of the Marantz plus detail of the B&W.
I sold my Marantz SR7200 to a friend of mine who has B&W 602S3 sa front and 601S3 sa rear and super happy siya sa combintation.
Go for the 4500 since it has better processing. With P3k difference, sulit iyon.
sir jt ....oo nga po...n 80wattspc( @ 6ohms kaya or 8ohms)...di ko lang po sure is yung..kung pwede po ba kabitan yun ng ps2??
GOOD NEWS PO...i've called 5th ave shang..n found out that they're now on promo...0% for 12months on all major credit cards daw!.... ;D available marantz daw..4500n 5500...
sir jt ....oo nga po...n 80wattspc( @ 6ohms kaya or 8ohms)...di ko lang po sure is yung..kung pwede po ba kabitan yun ng ps2??
Sir Myki, how come naging warm ang marantz. para sa akin matinis when comes to music.
just asking.

Hi allvin_98,
Anong speakers gamit mo? Baka naman speakers or room treatment or yung source player mo ang matining. So far, I've tried the Marantz with Wharfedale, B&Ws, and Dynaudio and warm siya. Yung una kong AVR na Pioneer, yun ang matining! :) 1 month lang eh binenta ko kaagad.
Hi Myki,
Wharf 8.4 speaker gamit ko and nasa small room category ang room ko, described in the manual.I used generic player for vcd and dvd. my dvd player is skyworth brand which i believed have a good performance, connected to my amp using optical cable.
Actually napansin ko lang na matining cya coz i have a friend that have a combi of wharf-HK eh. Hindi naman cya matining.
Thanks
Hmmmmm.... here are the only possible things I can think of:
1. wrong setting sa receiver? maybe subwoofer is ON even if you don't have one? Try setting all speakers as LARGE, then make sure that the speaker distances are correctly entered. - "meron akong sub but main lang ang gamit ko"
2. bright room? maybe you have bare walls or glass windows. Marble floors? Too much reflections would make the sound bright. Try to add room treatments like curtains (gumamit ka muna mga kumot to test if the sound changes), pillows, etc. "This is nice! hindi ko alam ito ah.masubukan nga"
3. Budget HK din ba yung sa kaibigan mo? Baka naman high model. - "HK AVR 130 - entry level"
4. Maraming hindi naniniwala that cables make a difference but what kind of speaker cables do you use? Sa wharfedale's ko dati gumanda yung sound when I bi-wired using 14 ga. speaker wires. - "dehins pa.try ko mag bi-wire. i'm using 12gauge wires"
Yun lang ang inputs ko. :-)

Oxygen free gauge 10 cables are said to be the best.
allvin98,
i think your source is the one causing your matining-ness ehehe
i have a skyworth 2650 and a host of other dvd players i have tested(all of which are connected via optical thru a yamaha avr, although not at the same time ehehehe)and all
i can say is that the skyworth is matining.. try other players..
Wala pa bang ibang bumili ng SR4500 or SR5500?
I would like to hear what the others think about this unit.
By the way, I discovered a quirk.... although minor lang naman: If you connect your DVD player's video out straight to your TV, then you don't need the video circuitry in the receiver. So this new Marantz has Video-Mute feature where you can switch off the entire video circuitry.... which will save power, probably lessen heat, and make it sound better. Problem lang is that after you switch off the AVR, the video circuitry is enabled again. I end up switching it OFF everytime I switch the AVR on. It would have been better if I can switch off the video permanently. Yun lang! :)
Mga Sir,
Is the new Marantz 5500 220V 60hz Yung 5300 kasi dati 50hz kaya hindi ko kinuha.
I'm not so sure though, what's the implication of this.
I am one of those who don't believe in using exotic speaker cables to make any sonic difference. But I believe the thicker they are and the better their connectors are built, the better. Bi-wiring has its debatable merits as well. But for me, bi-wiring simply widens the signal path. Single well constructed Oxygen free gauge 10 cables are said to be the best. Pure silver might even be better. Having a bi-wire using a couple of 12-guage cables is just as good, if not better. But that assumes your receiver or amp's speaker binding posts can accommodate such gauges.
Yum!

i got silver 4400 last week, hindi ko na check 50hz lang pala sya, di gaya ng gold model 60hz, my question is bakit same model pero magkaiba ng hz? dahil ba sa color lang? madali tuloy mag init. ;D
i got my marantz na rin. :) 4500 lang po........tnx sir myki...sa mga info n for answering all my queries regarding such reciever n some speakers...tnx po!...hope i can get more info here to get the full potential of my recevier n speakers po......tnx to all!!! :)
congrats bro, ako din kumuha last sunday ng 4400, oks na sa akin un, kahit 50hz lang at madaling maginit enjoy naman... congats sa atin dalawa, hehehe.... ;)
ronjet,
Congrats on your new 4500. Happy listening. Also, try the Pure Direct mode when you listen to music. I find it to be more detailed and imaging improves a bit.
By the way, ano pala ang CD or DVD player mo?
vhongbiker,
Congrats din sa 4400 mo. Mas okay nga daw ang 50Hz kasi mas warm-sounding. ;D As long as your unit is well-ventilated I'm sure you'll have no problems at all.
mYKi, JT thanks bros. sulit talaga ang marantz... ;) mura na quality and performance pang hi end pa. hehehe... ;D
Congrats on your new baby and happy listening. You have your SARS in remission. For now. ;D
Bros ano ang paired speaker mo sa marantz mo? thanks
allvin_98
kef bro.
vhongbiker,
Ask ko lang kung warm ba siya sa music paired with KEF? Detail/Clear ba siya?
Kindly give me the model of KEF and specs.
Thanks

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence there, Jerix. Like everything else in this hobby, our opinions are shaped by our experiences. While we may not hear differences between cables, (much as I try, though all double blind tests never revealed any differences anyway), or prefer not to based on closed textbook technical knowledge about cables, there are others who do for whatever reason and promptly get the ones that gratify them if within their means. And this hobby is so personal in its indulgence towards aural self-gratification, it has room for most everything under the sun. ;DI agree! Good sounds depends on the ear of the beholder! If you can't hear any difference good for you! But if you hear any difference it's an added cost! Personnaly I've heard a difference, but it doesn't necessary means a $10K speakers wire is better than Php50.00 wire, still it requires ggod matching! (IMO)
And there's no point having any kind of "inferiority complex" in this hobby. If what you have gives you personal enjoyment and satisfaction, that's all that matters. If other people derive enjoynment that goes beyond aural satisfaction with other considerations like pride of ownership and social prestige, that's their personal kicks. Like I said, this hobby has room for all kinds of preferrences and biases, likes and dislikes. It's really personal.

anong pinagkaiba sa features ng 4400 and 4500? ok ba sila for music and HT and how much do they cost? :)
Adjustable ba ang crossover frequency cutoff ng SR 4500?
Hi mYKi,
I just upgraded to 7.1 and chose Marantz SR 4500 after reading your extensive review of the 4500 and the 5500 in the AVS Forum. I have one dumb question. Can I use one of the pre-outs (not the sub pre-out) to connect to an amp to power up my bass shaker. I tried but nothing happens.
may cross-over ba ang bass shakers? is there a certain frequency needed para ma activate sila?
Thanks av_phile1 for the reply.
If I have a choice I don't want to use the LFE out becauce I want to avoid using a coax splitter. Also, gusto ko sana, my seat will rumble only on certain passages like for example explosions which are routed to the back surrounds.
When connected to the sub-out, para akong naka upo sa seat massager. It is constantly shaking especially most of my speakers are set to small.
i called up electronics depot ali mall P13,999 yung sr4400 sa kanila mura na ba yon? tinanong ko rin kung magkano yung yamaha rxv350 P15,200 daw eh sabi doon sa yamaha thread 12k+ lang ang 350. baka mas mura pa sa ibang store yung sr4400, btw mahal ba talaga sa electronics depot? ::)
kahit sa ED Robinson's place ganyan ang price at sale pa yun. yung rxv350 5.1 while sr4400 6.1 :) kung parehong 6.1 pagpipilian mo, rxv450 dapat ang i-compare sa sr4400 :)
rxv450 - P17500
sr4400 - P13999
btw, parehong sa ED based yung mga prices. di ko lang alam sa ibang shops. hth
bro kung 4400 kunin mo, lowest price na ED 13,999, pero kung 450 pinakamura sa spectra.
question lang mga sir.....yung output ba for coax is parepareho lang?? yung DIG.1 to 4 plus yung coax na output..kasi sa likod merong ganun n coax output...ano ba dapat pillin ko dun? kasi DIG.4 ko nilalagay yung coax e...pano ba po i-set pag sa output mismo ng COAX? tnx mga sir.. :)
mga sir quote ko lang po uli...
Am not sure if i got your question right. Are you asking if coax and toslink digital output are the same? They both pass the same 0s and 1s. Coax passes electrical pulses, while Toslink passes optical pulses.
sir av_phile,sir,may coax cable po kasi ako,sorry sir sensya na po di ko po kasi alam yung toslink e(stupid me.hehe)..eto po yung question ko,yung coax cable po ba sa coax output ko mismo ikakabit sa likod nung sr4500 ko po? di ko lang po kasi makita sa setting kung pano pipiliin pag coax na po yung gamit ko na cable sa setting e..ang nakikita ko lang [ag ise-set na yung input sa marants thru setup setting, puro DIG1 to DIG4 lang po..or na lagpasan ko lang po..hehe
The DIG1 to DIG4 indicates that you can connect 4 digital inputs. They most likely correspond to the digital coax terminals at the back of your receivers labeled 1 to 4. I would imagine your receiver also has optical (toslink) connections labeled 1 to 4. Regardless of which type of connection you use, I believe the receiver does some automatic detection. So if you connect a coax at terminal 1, the receiver detects this and usually assigns DIG1 to it. Suggest you read the manual if your receiver has assignable inputs as well. Hope this helps.
thanks sir AV! ;)...yup ..i chose DIG4 kasi pag sa coax ko nilagay...wala siya madetect e..n magbabasa basa pa ako n manual..hehe.. thanks po..
I Remember my experience with My Laptop problem! The American guy inform me it's RTFM problem! hehehe! (Read The F'kn Manual - RTFM)
For lack of knowing where else to ask, can anyone here please tell me where i can find and audition the marantz pm 7200 (amp)? ??? thanks in advance.
Boss bumblebee and philander, really appreciate the tips. Thanks very much. Though both 5th ave and ED said thay didn't have it. :-[
sir av_phile, i've read somewhere that,for example if you're surround is placed beside your listening position.It's better if you will set the delay/distance 25ft? or less? :)....im confused... how about the distance of L,C,R...thanks sir!
I just want to share my experience with the "After Sales Support" of ELECTRONICS DEPOT Particularly at Alabang Festival Mall for my MarantZ SR6300. Two thumbs-up for Ms. Chit for the great effort! I'd like to mention also the effort of a certain Guy who test my receiver! Keep up the good works guys!
Anybody want to Try Marantz Receiver Best Product! Best Support! (Electronics Depot Alabang.....ewan ko sa iba!)
Planning for an upgrade...of course Marantz again!Electronic Depot Alabang!
hi,
I am a newbie and would like to buy my first receiver... so far, based on budget, and pinagpipilian ko ay:
- Marantz sr4500 (P17,500)
- Yamaha rxv650 (P19,500 ata)
Will use it mostly for movies...pero siempre, I would like to use it for music paminsan minsan... what you think?
No plans to upgrade in the next 2-3 (or more) years from now...
Thanks!
hi,
I am a newbie and would like to buy my first receiver... so far, based on budget, and pinagpipilian ko ay:
- Marantz sr4500 (P17,500)
- Yamaha rxv650 (P19,500 ata)
Will use it mostly for movies...pero siempre, I would like to use it for music paminsan minsan... what you think?
No plans to upgrade in the next 2-3 (or more) years from now...
Thanks!
Thanks for your reply...
For the Yam RXV650, originally P26K?!?! down only to P19K+?! ...very tempting!
How bout the Marantz, is the P17,500 original price? discounted price na??
Thanks!!!
If I were you, I'll choose Marantz 5500
The Yamaha being in a higher product plane, does it mean, mas maganda sya???
Thanks for all your help.sir, musta na yang marantz sr4500 mo? nagamit mo na ba? anong mga speakers mo? congrats!
I ended up buying the Marantz sr4500 (20 minutes ago at 5th Ave, Shang)... I saved around P3K (against Yam 650), pandagdag na din sa pambili ng TV.
Thnks!!!
Any idea how much for fronts, center, surrounds, and rears??? Subs meron na ko.
Salamat po.
diamonds and m30 series are both entry-level speakers and are supposedly in the same price range. the diamonds are just priced really low here. i would like to think that since they are made to compete w/ each other, their performances shouldn't be like night and day.
if i could just make an analogy, given a civic w/ no discount and a lancer at 50% off, w/c would you get? ;)
Thakyu sir bumblebee...so, i wont expecting alot of sound quality difference bet. diamond 9 series and m30 series?? hmm...ang laki naman ng price difference nila...then why the heck do they buy the m30 series for? design? or elegante lang sila :P
preference, of course. and pride of ownership. if i really had the money, i definitely would get the civic ;D
Thanks again sir,..im also considering the Yamaha NS 555. Ang pogi kasi ng design. Plus ung Center nya, 6k lang may discount pa...kaya lang kokonti pa feedback regarding sa speaker na to...hmmm. :-\
have a listen then kung gusto mo sya, kunin mo na. and as you said, it looks great w/c should be a plus. don't mind yung mga gusto namin. syempre ibibida ko wharfs kc yun yung meron ako ;D but at the end of the day, your ears will decide.
Hehehe!!! thanks. Issue rin kasi ang presyo...diba napaka practical ng wharfs, kung konti lang tlaga difference, wharfs na rin ako...check ko siguro next month. sabi ni Matzter di daw xa satisfied sa tunog nung NS555. :-\
yamaha isn't really known for their speakers ;D i haven't heard it so i can't say much. but as they say, choice of speakers is a very personal thing. malay mo magustuhan mo ;)
sobrang OT na tayo. sorry mods.
patanong lang po...
Marantz sr4500 is rated 80W @ 8 ohms... pano kung 6 ohms lang speakers? will there be any problems?
parang nabasa ko sa Yammie pede mo i-switch kung 8 or 6 ohms, meron di ba ito?
Thanks!

Pre, Im using 2ohms speakers w/ my Marantz SR4400. One year old na at so far wala namang problema. Usually ang volume ko ay nasa 20.
really?....im now saving mollah for diamonds 9.6(6ohms) for my sr4300 would i hav any heating probs? ::)
Guys,
Any feedback on the performance of SR4400 paired with MS Premiere (satellite speakers & sub combination).
Hi Shotgun!
I have already auditioned the Marantz SR4400 & MS Speakers and its fine with me ALTHOUGH I'm more inclined with the Yamaha RXV650+WHarfdale Speakers (but I have budget constraints), I have not audition yet the RXV450+Yamaha Speaker package (Satellite +sub)+dvd player which is tempting at less than 30k (cash price nga lang). How is it compared woth the marantz package?
cheers...
in any system, speakers are always the weakest link. so try to get the best you can afford. i suggest getting the rx-v650 plus a pair full range speakers first. complete the setup as budget permits.
but if you're ok w/ sub/sats, get the mordaunts.
Hi Guys!
Any feedback on Sr4500 and Gale 30XX combination? How is it in Music and HT? TIA...
Gales are cheaper than Mordaunts? Are they? anyway, just to share, I almost did get the Marantz - but I settled with Yamaha. :)
Good luck to your new toys!
I'm also considering Yamaha RXV450/RXV650 as oppose to the Marantz SR4400/SR4500... any particular reason why you got the Yamaha instead of the Marantz?
Due to budget constraints, I'm also considering pairing the Yamaha or Marantz with DTX speakers. Appreciate any feedback, experience with said combinations.
Can a marantz SR4500 drive a B&W 602 S3?
oo naman :)
OT:
the sr4500 can be had for 17k in 5th ave. since you've visited 5th in sm north, you may want to listen to some mordaunts. though more expensive, they are better built to say the least, and sounded better for me.
you also might want to drop by digital dreams (katapat lang). they sell the HK avr130 for 17+k. not much bells and whistles, but quite powerful and is also warm.
the diamonds are a bit laid back. "dull" would be too harsh a term to describe them. i once owned the 9.1's and for me, sounded really good.
if you can, try building your system little by little so you'll have no regrets in the end.
hope to hear more from you, sir. happy hunting.
seems there is a preponderance of votes for the marantz/ms premiere combo here. i think i will consider that also. just that when i was looking at the MS it looked so HTIB to me.... while the gale seems to be a "proper" speaker system. any more comments?
anyway, will look at the H/K AVR, too. hmmm..... and i thought my head will stop spinning already after i sort of settled with the marantz/gale combo. :-[ ;D
you're probably referring to this.

;D welcome to the club ;D
congratulations sir! ... hope you enjoy your new toy!
congratz potpot_888 on your new toy.
what speakers are you pairing it with?
and how much is the sr4500?
oo nge e...hehehe!
pero sabi nila...problema daw service center ng marantz...how true?
hilo na nga ako e...btw, shotgun were you a regular poster at hcp before?
off-topic:
hahaha...ako din HCP...one of the pioneers din since 2000 din poster na. if i remember it right you drive an accord...anyway, thats what i've heard about the marantz
actually i was looking at the specs ok din for the price considering its a 7.1 with decent power. 5th ave quoted me for 17.5k cash meron bang better deal elsewhere? so now im limiting my choices to the following if i buy brand new. basta 18k max!
HK 130
Marantz SR4500
Yamaha 450/550
does the diamond 9 match with the marantz? comments! i have yet to audition any combination since im still in the process of elimination to limit my choices....hehehe!
ok...sana ba meron marantz and wharf diamond 9s. i need to audition.
btw, meron ba on screen menu ang sr4500 and fm tuner? thanks people!
ok...sana ba meron marantz and wharf diamond 9s. i need to audition.you may visit electronics depot @ galleria or festival mall , they carry both brands :)
Sayang!!!!! I just got one last Sunday!!!!!!!! :'(
any marantz SR6300 users out there? just want to ask your help kasi i lost the users manual. tried going to the marantz site but it isnt available anymore. your help would be very much appreciated TIA :D
Try this (http://www.marantz.com/pdfs/c_sr6300.pdf).
Guys,
Ask ko lang. I'm using 4500 model and during plugging my DVDs, walang flags na lumalabas na DD, DTS etc. tsaka L and R lang nakalagay sa mga speakers. Ano kayang problema dito? or is it a problem? :)
Has anyone used their Marantz amp on speakers that are less than 8 ohms? I'm planning to get Monitor Audio speakers... after researching on them and listening to them I just noticed that they're 6ohms! I'm going to run them on an SR4500.
Any Feedback? TIA!

bro shotgun! so di ka po satisfied with the marantz-MS pair? feedback po...
bro gubs ill try that out ltr....share mo pa yung ibang settings na alam mo. yung iba kasi parang di nagagamit sayang...like yung csII, n yung equalizer for wat ba yun parang no difference pag on n off eh? tnxI'm not Gubs but I'm long time user of Marantz. CS (Circle Sorround) is a matrix encoder for any mono or stereo source for 6 channel output (5.1).
bro odyopayl tnx for the info! can u share your settings din para matry ko wc wud be best....tnx broHi kt, actually tried to experiment all the functions of my receiver the first time i have it. In the long run I realized non of this is useful when it comes to movies once you stick to your DVD source.
@Kt sorry nakalimutan ko sabihin large large setting only works when I use 5.1 encoded material meaning movie soundtracks with ddigital o Dts.For most other sources Hindi tumutunog yung sub kaya set ko na lang lahat sa small para di na ko lipat sa large sa movies tapos small sa audio.Mas maganda naman at least sa system ko kapag small setting ,pag large medyo parang bitin sa highs at ipit yung sound.Siguro dahil hirap ang amps at hindi kaya ng bookshelf ang full range frequencies.Hi Gubs, hope this help. Settings of your speakers (in your receiver) must be semi-permanent, I mean you will never change settings not unless you change your speakers. Changing from time-to-time is sometimes irritating. Your system should be plug'n' play.
Gubs
Hi kt, actually tried to experiment all the functions of my receiver the first time i have it. In the long run I realized non of this is useful when it comes to movies once you stick to your DVD source.
Those CSII, DPLII, Neo6 can only be use when watching movie with only 2 channel source like VCD's, VHS or even LD. Normally I listened to music and very comfortable with Source direct (S-direct) mode wherein Bass & Treble are bypass yes, I listened only on stereo mode.
By the way, Multi-channel stereo setting is very good with "Magic Sing".
Enjoy!
. Eto yung weird na experience ko sa marantz. Mas nagugustuhan ko pa yung tunog ng speakers ko pag naka FM ako kesa sa CD. ???
bro odyopayl pangit po ba pag sa dvd player lang ako mag audio cd?Di naman sa pangit, iba lang talaga playback ng dedicated CD player. Marami kasi detalye na nawawala especially sa Soundstage. In my experience CD player have Wider & Deeper soundstage.
That's weird considering the resolution of CD playback compared to FM (radio Signal). Lets try to fix it:
1. What is your CD player?
2. What is your connection? Digital or analog (2pair of RCA)
- In case RCA (analog) Try to use i pc. of RCA connected to your receiver (Your receiver might be capable of upsampling 24/192
- or the other way around
3. Try to use you DVD player as your CD player
I'll wait for your reply.
Right now, I'm using my DVD player as my CD player din. I dont know kasi pano pumunta sa pier. para dun na lang sana bumili ng dedicated CD player. Besides, I'm using a generic player. :) Digital connection ang akin. BTW, 4500 model yung receiver ko.Some entry-level DVD player now have capability of 24/96 resolution and some have upsampling of 24/192. Try to experiment on connection. Set your DVD player to maximum upsampling (24/96 or 24.192 if available) put a stereo RCA (analog) connection directly to your Receiver via CD input. Try to compare switching on both Digital & Analog (I'm sure your MArantz receiver have this switch on the remote) then compare.
Tnx bro!!! ;)
bro odyopayl pangit po ba pag sa dvd player lang ako mag audio cd?
bro food! im using MS904, MS905c, & MS903s speakers. so far ok naman mga default settings nya. baka lang kasi di ko naooptimze kaya sayang din dba? oh bat mas ok FM kesa cd bro? baka sa source mo?

Tnx bro!!! ;)
bro odyopayl tnx for the advise! well how abt the new dvd players thats already sacd n dvd-audios? are they good narin for cd playback? tnxI can only speak with my experience. I have Pioneer 655 model, the first entry level DVD-A & SACD capable player. DVD-A & SACD are already discrete multi-channel playback, it all depends on your software (DVD-A or SACD). I mean channel separation was already in the recording what you need is only 3pairs of analog IC & Set of good speakers preferably the same with your front speakers.
sir av n odyopayl tnx for the tips!I suggest get a DVD player with upsampling of 24/192 on analog output. This will be good start especially if not universal player.
well i'll just settle with my planned dvd player for the moment...hehe ;D
bro odyopayl! how abt the pioneer 686a? im planning to get that kasi eh...wat u tink bro?I'm not familiar with pioneer 686 but if it's the improved version of Pioneer 676 universal DVD player it's good. BTW, how much is the retail as of now?
guys help naman sa pagsetup ng analog connections ng marantz for sacd....pano po ba? tnx
tnx sir phil! wud there be a diference if i use coax cables like for the SW instead of rca cables? wont i need to set anything on the avr?
mga ser, match ba ang marantz and wharfe daimonds? just asking your personal opinions or reviews regarding the match-up on music and movies. im planning to upgrade my amp. ;D
thanks!
any marantz/wharfe users here? ;D
tnx bro phil! wat setting for the speaker gain did u set yours ba? n for the speakers setting sa dvd player (pioneer dv-686a) should i just leave the speaker setting to small just like the avrs?
so the regular rcas wud give the same performance as those 75ohm coax cables?
tnx
bro phil! halos same pala tyo ng brands but mine i guess are the lower models! hehe im using sr4500, pioneer dv-686a, MS904, MS905c & MS903s ;D isnt the default setting for the 7.1 analog (for SACD ) of the avr ok na? i guess naka 0 lahat yun dba? sa avr kasi i set all my speakers to small. but wats the differnce with the setting in the player? well i guess for dvd movies / audio cds the setting on the player wont matter since im using digital connection for those...so in that case the avr wud be the 1 to decode ryt? while if im gna use the analog connections for SACD...so i guess i shoud set it at the player n acr as well? sori if my qstn is confusing...hehe ???
bro i meant regular rcas like those that come along with the players....the yellow, wyt n red 1s? coz if im gna get 75ohm coax...well thats gna be 6 pcs for the sacds....so gastos pa if theres not much differnce with a well built rca ryt?
TIA bros!
bro phil tnx agn!
yup ive already set my speaker gains n distance sa avr. so no need na sa player pag naka digital connection ang source? so all i need to set is if im gna use the analog connections for the sacd/dvd-a?
wud the setting on the player for the speakers matter if im using digital connection like yung large or small? i know may difference sya pag sa avr mo naset. wat if i set the speakers to large sa player then small sa reciever? alin po susundin dun? for movies i set all my speakers to small since may SW naman po ko. ok din naman po if naka large yung speakers esp sa audio then i set the LFE to both para may SW parin.
ah ok i'll go find some good quality rca cables then...n i still need to find a sacd/dvd-a source so i can test it! hehe kaso the prob is very few good albums to choose from...wat can u suggest bro? tnx agn!
bro phil tnx agn for the help! ges i just have to find those sources for now :D
btw not much new/modern titles for those sources huh?
bro phil tnx! sori OT na..last qstns...how wud i recognize if its an sacd or dvd-a n wats chesky's? record label?
Nice guide there, Philander. Just a cautionary note, the DSD logo also appears in many SONY CDs. They're not SACDs. Only their originals were remastered or recorded using DSD.
Not all SACDs are hybrid.
Thanks for the correction, just to reclarify, isnt it the DSD+SBM (Direct Stream Digital + Super Bit Mapping)(http://www.eurus.dti.ne.jp/~hirais1/dvd/gazou/sbm_l.gif) is the one use for encoding/recording/remastering in CD format?
Yes, that's right, but i could swear I saw the DSD logo with it. I'll check my Sony DSD CDs again.
bro phil! i just passed by odyssey & astroplus megamall n they dont hav those daw...or di lang nila alam? ??? yung megamixx wala na yata sa mega eh...
well sa astroplus meron daw yata pero 1 title nlang meron sila. n yung iba puro dvd concerts lang eh. nandun yung sa may glass cabinets nila naka lock nga eh....hehe...maybe i'll go check out other record bars....any1 tried oddysey megamall?
sir av_phile, question lang po. is it (how true)true that the marantz sr4500(or 500 series) uses CS49400 DSP Processor? even if it uses or not, is this same dsp processor used for some high end amplifiers? thanks sir in advance :)
You mean Marantz 4500? The 1705 is from Denon.
It's hard to compare them powerwise. Both make good music.
I'd go Marantz. Retro look, excellent build, 7.1 and is cheaper ;D Yung nga lang from 5th Ave :P
...
Why? Is there any problem with 5th ave.?
...
sirs,
can you connect a 4 ohm speaker to the marantz4500? what the nominal impedance requirement?

Aftersales.
I had the same choices before and I ended up getting the Marantz 4500. HK 130 (at the time was my second choice) was pricer and wasn't 7.1.
I'd still go for the Marantz, though it's harder to match it's Gold color with other equipment and the HK135 is much more expensive. I just hope that I don't have to deal with the after sales service of 5th ave.
can we get marantz from other dealers?
that's also my problem with the marantz, i haven't seen any other color than gold, but saw a silver and a black colored 4500 sa internet. la ba talaga ibang kulay dito sa atin?
The guys here would definitely go for Marantz since it's the Marantz Forum :P You can try asking the HK guys as well. As for the wattage, I know that the 4500 puts out less than 80w on 7.1 while HK underates their specs and shells out above 50watts per channel on surround mode.
so you guys are leaning towards the marantz, which is more powerful between the two, is it the marantz 80wpc or the hk's 40wpc (all channel driven)?
don't be dismayed now, but you would hardly know the difference between the two, even if you played them side by side using the same type speakers.
just pick the one that pleases your ears and your wallet.
FYI: Marantz 4600 is already available. 7.1 ch, support all surround formats including HDCD.
Price around 21K.
bought in by Avesco, retailed by 5the Ave. They have branches in Park Square Makati and Shangrila Mall.
The 4500 fairs well against the HK135. It's cheaper too. I chose the 4500 againts the HK130 because of looks.
Hi guys, I got an SR5400 rated at 90w X6 (8ohms) but haven't tested it
since bought exactly 1 week tomorrow. Actually I tried selling it since day 1
pero mapipilitan din yata ako gamitin. Just want to ask those who owned
amps with high power rating like mine, concern lang talaga ako sa kain sa
kuryente kasi nga my unit is 400w ang consumption. Then I ask din yung
store na pinagbilhan ko kung applicable sa atin ang 230v 50hz power
(di ko kasi nacheck nung binibili ko) frequency sabi naman nya wala naman
daw problema, totoo kaya ito? alam ko kasi sa atin 50/60hz. Patay ako kay
misis nito pa nalaman napabili na naman ako. Please give me advise mga
tols to sell (less30%) or to keep & enjoy?.
Plus the 4500 supports DTS 96/24

sir shotgun thanks for your reply.and also to you sir kt....para kasing nahihinaan ako pag nasa -15.na-noticed ko lang naman to lalo when watching 20th century fox dvd's? (baka ako lang nakapansin..hehe) minsan tuloy parang feeling ko bitin yung power nung 4500 sa akin or baka ma under power yung amp dun sa speaker.pero di naman siya mahirap idrive di ba?...pero may transfer naman na minsan -20 palang e parang malakas na siya.
ronjet,
My movie watching is usually -15 rin. Sometimes, medyo mahina din feeling ko at -15 with some DVDs and I even watch at -10db.
Actually, in my system, the 0db is the setting that should pump out sound as the director intended it to be. I calibrate using Avia Video Essentials. Kaso, I live in a condo and nakakahiya to watch that way. :)
sir myki, di ba your using dynaudio speakers? ;D ok lang ba kahit -10 na siya? hehe.. kelan ba na pa-fry ang speaker?hindi ko po kasi alam pagdating sa mga ganito na..thanks
I'm not worried with frying the speakers. They can take a lot. If you listen at -10, make sure you give good ventilation to the 4500. I only have a 2 inch gap above the Marantz, so I placed directional PCI fan I got from my old PC stuff and set it at 9 volts. It's able to suck hot air out and force it out the front of the gap. Because of this, even ambient heat that I used to feel on the wood on top of the 4500 is gone. The manual suggests to have at least 6 inches (if i remember correctly) gap above the vents of the 4500.

maganda b yung marantz 4500 ccompared to yamaha vx 440? ano maganda speaker for marantz 4500?
bro ricracer! the time i bot my avr there they have the DTS demo disc n thats wat we used...
Going back to Marantz 4500, I agree that it really produces great audio for MUSIC (though, my experience is limited to MARANTZ-GALE combo) but if you like tinkering on sound set-ups & fine-tuning some "cinematic" details (like me)...this model would be really boring. As what I've always read in Marantz forums, "You get what you pay for in terms of features". For a guy like me, I would advise you to audition those Yammies and Denons also.
Share ko lang for future Marantz Buyers...
I was about to buy the 4500 at 5th Ave. Shangri-la kanina and I asked for an audition before getting the unit. In fairness, the guy was very polite in answering my queries. The bad thing in this store though, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD CD/DVD TO DEMO THEIR HT PRODUCTS!!!! Yung DVD DEMO nila BURNED "bad quality" copy lang at pati yung audiophile nila parang binili lang sa Divisoria. "OK...(i said to the guy), kahit anong DVD movie na lang so I can have a feel of it lang." To my surprise, they don't have any ORIGINAL DVD, lahat pirated kaya ayaw basahin nung Marantz DVD Player nila. So hindi rin namin na-demo.
But since I am really decided to buy Marantz (atat na ako), I said that ok na I would buy it already. Pero hindi pala qualified yung credit card ko sa 6 months 0% term. Buti na lang, I'll just buy in Abenson's or Western.
Just a message to the 5th Ave owner.........."How can you sell a good Marantz product, if you don't even have the tools to demo it!"
Kaya future Marantz owners, i hope you'll know where NOT to buy.
Anyone here who's willing to sell their sr 4500 as well? ;D
I dont wanna offend Marantz 4500 owners here (I really wanted one that was for sale here for 8K, but got away) but I noticed that this model (though, already 7.1 capable) is being sold in this forum left and right. As I mentioned earlier, there was even one unit sold for 8K (owner cited that he would revert back to his other amp hence the sale).
I can understand 6.1 receivers sold by owners who might want a taste of 7.1 but what I don't get is why these Marantz 4500 owners sell theirs. Is there something wrong with this model?
Calling owners...
Dear Marantz owners,
May review na ba regarding new marantz sr5600 receiver? Thanks!
ano po ba ideal speakers for marantz?
mga bro, magkano ang marantz sr7500? pati resell niya magkano din?
Hi Fellow Pdvd'ers.
I had a chance to own a Marantz sr7400 thru one of our members sometime early this year several months thereafter it has provided me some soul satisfaction.
A few days ago I began to notice some distortion during the second and third CD i play and that worried me a lot. At first I thought it was the DVD player but found out pretty soon after replacing it with another player that the marantz began shutting down after about 10 songs. The top cover is can be touched but seems overly warm. It can resume playing when it cools down a little. I re-hooked the old DVD player and still the Marantz shuts down after about 10 songs. I have been into audio for many years and am sure there's nothing wrong with my connection set up. :(
I hope that this is not part of the Marantz quality everyone is raving about and I would appreciate any helpful advices.
@trauma
at least may improvement ;D
:(
I found out that it is definitely a heat problem.
It just started very recently when I switched from an MDF cabinet to a painted plywood cabinet.
Maybe the MDF cabinet is cooler.
I already placed it on a shelf that allows 9 inches of air above the marantz and it improved some. Now it takes 20 songs before shutting down. >:(
Thanks both Shotgun and av_phile!
Shotgun:
that low noise fan sure looks attractive? How did you hook a power source for that fan?
Wow. Power shutdown despite a 220V fan? I've got a couple of those for power hungry power amps before (my 'mobile' days) and those could move a LOT of air. Do you think it's just the heat that's the problem? 9 inches of clearance and a fan would solve almost any heating issues.
mga sir available ba yung SR3001 model dito sa pinas? and how much kaya?
sa mga marantz owners. these babies do really get hot... hot, mind you, not warm. so my suggestion is get urself some muffin fan/s. they're not as noisy as some other ordinary fans. especially so if you have your gear in some confined space. they work wonders in keeping control of the air circulation. i got mine from deeco, the 220v type. got two of them on top of my sr4500. not too discernible both audibly or visually since it's between the 2"++ gap between the rack and the amp. your electric fan or aircon might be noisier if you have them on while watching video or listening to some music. to further reduce fan noise, try putting some spacers on the fan itself for some clearance between it and the amp. will post some pics when i have time.
btw, has any srxx00 owner tried using the speaker b output for biamping your fronts? since this is actually a pair of unused amp if u have just a 5.1 setup, then maybe we can put it to good use in powering up, say, the bass driver of a three-way front?!!? any comments?
OT: pardon me. Someone you know might be interested. I am selling my Marantz sr6300 in mint condition for 15.5k. I seldomly used it. I already posted it in the assorted buy and sell section. Thanks :)
sa mga marantz owners. these babies do really get hot... hot, mind you, not warm. so my suggestion is get urself some muffin fan/s. they're not as noisy as some other ordinary fans. especially so if you have your gear in some confined space. they work wonders in keeping control of the air circulation. i got mine from deeco, the 220v type. got two of them on top of my sr4500. not too discernible both audibly or visually since it's between the 2"++ gap between the rack and the amp. your electric fan or aircon might be noisier if you have them on while watching video or listening to some music. to further reduce fan noise, try putting some spacers on the fan itself for some clearance between it and the amp. will post some pics when i have time.
i have demo'ed the marantz with the MS and other speakers at 5th Ave. it was the best in their shop to combine with the marantz.
are you looking for bookshelf or floor standers?
auditioned Marantz and MS speakers late this afternoon over at 5th AVenue in Park Square. The setup was using a MS floorstanders. The sound was great as details were heard very well during the movie. Sub used was Carnival 9 i think. Sa boom sounded great also.
Even when they used the MS Carnival series 5.1 setup, the sound got lower but the details is still there.
Also saw the SR 4001 priced at P29,500 at 0% int for 12 months. Is this a good buy already? 7.1 setup, 80 watts per channel with HDMI. Is this also good for the MS Carnival Series speakers?
thanks.
i agree with you that it sounds great great. fact is i am already referring this receiver to my friends who are starting/upgrading their home theater. it is the most affordable receiver with ex and es, digital ins and outs and 6-channel preouts. the construction of this hardware reminds of onkyo, sturdy and masculine. To me it is more like a tank. The sound quality of the 4300 rivals the sound of harman kardon 2550. its predecessor, 4200, has been appraised by many because of its sweet sound. i think the 4300 is almost the same with 4200 except that it has more features. highly recommended to the future-conscious people who are afraid of obsolescence. with this receiver being at the heart of your set-up, you can't go wrong with it.
used to have this set-up. sent you a pm ;)
hello lakambini,
5th Ave SM City had the SR4600 at P19,995 if I remember correctly. Can't be sure but they may have the 4500 on sale there too. 5th Ave Trinoma had the sr5600 listed at P25,500 and the SR5500 at P19,500. All were new units complete in sealed boxes, not demo/showroom units.
hope this helps.
Sale anyone? ;D
Marantz SR3001 - 7.1 amplifier On Sale!!!!Php17,000 cash purchase only.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/pe_jefferson/marantzsr3001.jpg)
available in Platinum
All discrete amplifier stages
32 bit DSP, HDCD decoder
Dolby Digital EX and Pro Logic IIx, dts ES, Neo:6, 96/24, SRS Circle Surround
192 kHz/24-bit D/A converters for all channels
Component video switching (2 in / 1 out)
A 32-bit Cirrus Logic microprocessor provides full surround decoding capability for Dolby Digital EX and Pro Logic IIx, dts ES (discrete and matrix), Neo:6, and 96/24. There’s even SRS’s remarkable Circle Surround (and SRS Headphone as well) so you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite discs and broadcasts just as their creators intended. The SR3001 also offers Multi-channel Stereo so you can enjoy all of the music throughout your home.
You needn’t worry about hookup flexibility either. The SR3001 boasts 7 analog stereo inputs and a full 7.1 channel input for today’s most modern sources. In addition, there are four assignable digital inputs (two coaxial and two optical) so the SR3001 can handle even comprehensive systems with ease. You’ll also find digital outputs and a subwoofer preamp out.
On the video side, the SR3001 is equally capable. Eight video inputs (two component, two S-, and four composite) mean you’ll be able to connect all your video sources for instant enjoyment. Video outputs? We have you covered there, too, with three recording paths and three monitor outputs (component, S-, and composite) so you won’t miss anything.
You might think a receiver this capable would be difficult to set up and operate. Not so. The Marantz Easy Setup menu and front panel cursor keys take you through your options with remarkable clarity. There’s a sleep timer, video off mode, and three AC convenience outlets. Don’t forget the remote controller or the 50 preset AM/FM tuner either.

Nemesis91 ,
what do you think are the best front/cemter speakers for this?
thanks!
i think i saw a 4500 or 7500 sa 5th ave in shang edsa, where have you tried looking? i dont know if its scarce in the market because of its unpopularity or owners dont want to part with them, i myself have been lucky enough not to have any problem with my 7400 after more than 18months. i hope you find your marantz.

This is my beloved Marantz SR6001. In my experience, this is one if not the best receiver i have owned. Sa mga nag-iisip mag-upgrade ngayong pasko... It's a must that you should audition this brand.
haven't auditioned a marantz yet. how would you describe the sound? Is it warm / lively / neutral?
any suggestions on speakers you can pair it with? bookshelves sana.
Thanks!

anyone using the NR1501? I bought this model last 25May2010 and would appreciate to hear from fellow members here of inputs, tweaks, etc. in order to get the best out of this receiver. TIA.
I own both marantz NR1501 and SR6004. NR1501 is slim line model of Marantz that performs just like his big brothers receiver. It's a 7.1 ch amp with DTS high definition and high resolution, it also support Dolby True-HD, DTS-HD. Both great for home theater and music.
At 50 watts per channel rating, I was surprised with the sound and power of this slim receiver. Owesome in music that can produced quality sound,warm and very detailed. The audio quality is similar with my Marantz SR6004. I paired my NR1501 with JBL CS480 it was great combination. ;) ;)
wow :o i was surprised brader that you also got a NR1501, i thought only the SR6004 is in your sleeve. galing ;D .

tama ka nga...maganda marantz! ;)
nice to know that there is someone also owning the NR1501 :)
Mga sirs how are the surrounds for the Marantz 6004, 7002 doing? Are they comparable na to Denon and Onkyo? I had a Marantz 5500 last 2005 and I love it for audio but not for movie because of the surrounds.
Thanks Sir bullet for the nice feedback. I dropped by the showroom of Sir Sanjay today and his brother accomodate me well. I was able to hear their Marantz-Polk audio set-up and the surrounds nga of Marantz are active and lively similar to other brands(denon and onkyo). Dialogues also are clear. Ganda ganda...
Hello guys, im a new member here. Anyway, naglilinis ako ng factory when i came across this Marantz 2385, 1870s pa itong reciever na ito. Question is, may nagrerestore pa ba nito? Ang pagka alam dati sa bahay namin this comes with a brown wood case. may nabibili pa rin ba nun? Chaka when i restore this saan ko pa ba ito magagamit? Hindi ito pwede pang home threatre right?
here are the pics
maraming salamat sir Gnenael...:)

I've asked abenson(where I got my unit)
but the number they gave me said they've stopped servicing marantz products.
TIA!

Congrats sir on your new AVR, I thought you were eyeing Focal speakers sir :)focal sana sir jao143, kya lang way too high for my budget ;D, so I'm looking into MA's Rx series or Dali's lektors, polk's RTi's is also on the line. pinipilit ko na lang abutin ang mga ito ;D ;D ;D

Meron po ba mga 15k na magandang marantz for audio?
mga bosing, ask q lang kung merong may ari ng marantz pm8004. would like to ask how the performance for 2channel set up. salamat in advance for the reply. :)I have its little brother the PM7004 (Japan version) driving a pair of PA Rti A7 for a month now. I also use it as a 2 ch FL/FR power amp for my Denon AVR2310. For 2ch listening, it mates with my SACD player SA7003. I'd say this int. amp.is very transparent right out of the box. midrange and highs are very wide, open & clear.
hi...do you have any idea how much the reference series PM 11s2 SRP?
(http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j326/darwin0704/XL_PM-11S2_D.jpg)

Good afternoon sirs. I'm new to this site and I was wondering where I can have my marantz sr4300 repaired? When I start using it, it will automatically go to standby mode in a few seconds. Hindi tuloy namin magamit. TIA! :)
hi i recently bought a marantz SR5005 and compared to my old onkyo it was a night and day experience.
i have a little problem though and i need help, i connected my PlayStation 2 to the 1st optical in and the video rca to one of the analog video rca in on the 5005, the sound has output but there is no video. i cant find on the manual how to use those analog inputs on the 5005 :(
i got it working na :D
ang marantz pala may prioritization, HDMI tapos Component tapos Composite.
sa BD hdmi in ko kinabit ung htpc ko tapos sa bd composite in nakakabit ung ps2
e hindi ako nagpapatay ng pc kaya nung tinest ko ung ps2 walang video output :D :D :D
What can you say about the sound of Marantz?
very satisfied, im watching all my favorite movies again and im hearing new things that were missing when i was using my old onkyo.
now im happy :D
What receiver were you using before Sir Wildfire? Anyway, same here, very much satisfied with my Marantz receiver. Suits my taste/preference.
hi i recently bought a marantz SR5005 and compared to my old onkyo it was a night and day experience.how much and san ka nakabili sir?thanks

oh thanks.gustong gusto ko talaga yang marantz kaya lang di hamak na mas mataas yung presyo nila compared sa onkyo,denon or yamaha.bakit kaya?from the dealer that i've visited, its the other way around...denon and yamaha are more expensive compared to marantz....i dunno if the new release of marantz will out price denon here. will just have to wait and see....
oh thanks.gustong gusto ko talaga yang marantz kaya lang di hamak na mas mataas yung presyo nila compared sa onkyo,denon or yamaha.bakit kaya?
I have the SR6004 which I bought last year. I had used it minimally for only 7 months and came this problem. It goes to protect mode at only -23db volume with or without speaker loads. Inside were no premium parts. Power transformer is not massive. I now have the Onkyo TX-NR809 which for me is way more better than the 6004. In audio, the 6004 is I think only +5 and is way way behind the 809 in movies. Since I started this hobby in the early 90's, I always was a Marantz user and I still even have my first Marantz SR-82 which until today sings beautifully. Try to listen to the 809. But it all boils down to each own personal preference.
im sorry to hear that, baka lemon pero i remember reading somewhere that the 004 models have that issue but fixed on the 005 because they used more of denon parts.
Si Ken Ishikawa ang makakasagot niyan.

Hi! I have a Marantz SR8001. Im using a 2 speaker setup... Dynaudio Audience 62. I had a problem with my receiver. It goes to protect mode alot. When it does, it won't turn on, always going back to protect mode. But after like a day or two, it turns on again fine. Later on, I lowered the volume. From -10 db to -20 db. From now on, I seldom even go to protect mode and even if it does, it goes to normal function by itself at once. Unfortunately, at -20 db I found the volume sometimes too low. Could it be that the speaker is too demanding even for the flagship receiver? I have read the dynaudio thread in AVS forum and no one even looks at receivers in powering their speakers.

buti dun ka nakakuha ubos na dito
Sana ma-setup mo na so you could enjoy your Marantz.yes sir, na set up ko on 2 channel pa lang, paired to mission mx5(eto lang nakayanan ng bulsa ;D ;D) and enjoying it at pure direct mode, haven't run yet the audissey(tama ba spell :D)...big on bass when playing it loud at -20 to -12db ;D, at 52sq m room, very loud pa rin,,sabi nga ng anak ko(pabulyaw) papa, magigiba na ang bahay ;D ;D ;D...pwede bang i run ang audessey at 2 channel? wala pa kasi akong surround speakers...
SR5005 and SR6005 totally ubos na. Don't know about SR7005 if available pa.swerte nating nakakuha nito, kahit rated 100wpc sya e it can easily drive speakers rated at max of 200w :D

tnx guys, I'll try to do it this weekend, problema lang, dahil sa ka ka dinig ng music, naka upo na lang ako palagi sa harap ng set up, di na ako nakapaglalaba at plantsa ;D ;D ;D
Bro wag mo pagsabayin yan at baka ma pasma ka he he hedna talaga magsasabay, kasi eliminated na si plantsa, pinalitan ni marantz sa konsumo ng kuryente, para makaipon pang surround, he he he
Sobrang mag init ang Marantz receiver, even in 8 ohms, what more kung 4 ohms (tapos 86db sensitivity pa, whew), grabe sobrang hirap i-drive nyan... unless you are using flagship Marantz or any Solid/Power Amplifier that can handle 4 ohms.
Most of the available consumer receivers are rated at 8 ohms, it can drive 6 to 16 ohms without any problems.
Driving 4 ohms is another story; at any given voltage drive level, a 4 ohm speaker will draw twice as much
current as will an 8 ohm speaker.
Sure it will produce louder sound if you use 4 ohm, but can your receiver or amplifier handle it? Most likely you will fry your receiver or amp.
Good thing may mga build-in auto off/protection mode pag hirap ang amp/receiver or pag may ground/short circuits para di masira.
Get a more power amp or change speaker :D
Anong brand ng soeaker ang puwede ipair sa marantz?
Yan nga problem. I've seen in the dynaudio thread in avsforum some people using the SR7001 with no problem. Thats why I bought the SR8001 thinking kung walang problem yun SR7001, what more yun SR8001 which should be the top of the line sa mga receivers and having a torroidal power supply. Some even use Onkyo Receiver (which is supposed to be at a lower level than Marantz) on the even more demanding Dynaudio Confidence.
Anyway, right now its working fine pa rin except for the protect mode from time to time, but I guess I probably will have to look for a NAD master series nalang. Any of you guys know where I can find this? Thanks!
So mas ok ba ang sounding ng Marantz receiver kesa sa Denon sino na po ba nakapag-compare sa 2 receiver? which two of these avr are better SQ concerning in movie and music?

Yan nga problem. I've seen in the dynaudio thread in avsforum some people using the SR7001 with no problem. Thats why I bought the SR8001 thinking kung walang problem yun SR7001, what more yun SR8001 which should be the top of the line sa mga receivers and having a torroidal power supply. Some even use Onkyo Receiver (which is supposed to be at a lower level than Marantz) on the even more demanding Dynaudio Confidence.

I used this combo (Marantz+Dyn) and was happy until the Marantz died. Now its NAD+Dyn pero miss ko ang musicality ng Marantz. Gamitin mo na lang ang LR preouts ng Marantz and use a NAD amp to drive your Dyns. The musicality of Marantz plus the bordering brightness of NAD plus smoothness of Dyns will seem to sound just right.nadala mo na sa audioworld yung marantz mo bro?

Yep actually kukunin ko na nga uli baka nangangalawang na doon. Downfall nga lang ng Marantz ang service kasi 'til now wala pa atang authorized dealer/ service center.
Got my Marantz back un repaired. :-[

Just in case someone else runs into this problem, the solution was to reset the amp by holding down the "S. Speaker B", "ATT", and "EXIT" buttons for three seconds. Somehow this was not documented in the manual, I found it in some dusty old forum.
Amp is back to working perfectly again.
I appreciate your response but just to be clear, this was not a thermal/ventilation issue, it went into protection mode when the power kicked a few times due to a brown out, I did try unplugging everything except the AC power but it wouldn't come out of protection mode until I reset it.

Braders, need your help... Saan po makaka hanap ng Remote control (or any universal remote control) for my Marantz SR-6300 6.1 avr? thanks po.

querry lang po, my marantz SR5005 7.1 has a power consumption rate of 650W, if I'm into 2 channel or stereo, does it consume 650W? thanks
That's only the max - depending on your usage. If you crank max everything in your receiver - it will read 650 watts on your meralco meter!

tama ung 5005 ko nasa 100+ lang consumption 7.1 config -15db vol pag normal movie watchinghayyy(relief) maraming salamat mga sirs, akala eto ang culprit kaya di bumababa ang bill ko sa kuryente, considering na 1 bedroom is vacant, ibig sabihin, 1 aircon is not in use since dumating si 5005...I'm considering na nga cutting down my listening time e :(
Marantz users ask ko lang is AV7005 locally available here ?

Marantz 5007 or 6007. Price difference is 10k. As per specifications their almost the same, except for the added 10 watts which i dont need much, extra features lik audyssey dsx, extra speaker connection for added zone maybe.
Currently Using 685 home theater system. Might add 684 if budget permits. Currently using onkyo 1009. Want to try more musical receiver. Tnx. :-)

Eto sana talaga target ko sis kaso di ko lam san makakakuha ng 200k. :(
I would just like to ask, the best talaga AV 8801 kaya lang di ba ito overkill, I mean the 11.2 channels. If I have the money to buy this but would only use 7.2 channel, should I buy the AV8801, the AV 7701 or the Onkyp PR SC 5509? Thanks!
The room is not really that big Sir. Modesty aside, I just have this mentally to buy "top of the line" items if I could really afford them because I want premium quality items that are also reliable and efficient, at the same time, would last for years. Assuming I wouldn't stretch my budget for AV 8801, what would I miss, component quality-wise. with the AV 7701. Why shouldn't I buy the Onkyo PR SC 5509 instead over the Marantz? Thanks again!
Anyone knows what store sells the Marantz NR1403 Slim Design AV Surround Receiver?Pm avshop (Marc). He sells marantz stuff
I am planning to go separates by buying the Marantz AV8801 this coming June (an upgrade from my existing Onkyo AVR right now) to feed initially my pair B&W CDM 1NT and a CDM CNT. I am also thinking initially going bi-amping initially with these set-up. What do you think is the best 5-channel amp to complement and provide ample power to my B&Ws? Thanks!
Yep I leaning toward emotiva XPR - 5 but a bit worry it's an overkill or perhaps unsafe for my B&W CDM 1NT and CDM CNT (200 wpc rms amp vs. 120 wpc speakers) especially if bi-amping is done. Any comment to ease my worry? Thanks again
Honestly i wouldnt worry, as long as you dont listen at reference levels. Alalay na lang sa volume knob and you'll be fine. The stronger the amp the better, parating busog ang speaker even during explosions, clean parin and sound nyan kasi hindi hirap ang amp.
+1
I also wouldn't recommend bi-amping bookshelf speakers especially using high powered power amps... Possibility of frying your tweeters...

Thanks again!Sir I have audition both amps before side by side for several days . ...The onkyo is too bright, the sound stage is small and lastly there's the fatigue characteristics. What I like about the Onkyo is the extra features, that's about it...for me its just a pc. of crap. On the other hand the marantz is just right, not to bright, silky highs, big sound stage...its analytical and musical at the same time... as for the amps I would recommend Parasound A52/51 or go all the way Marantz...use the XLR's there's a 30-40% increase in sound quality over rca's...

Thanks againI dont think the emotiva is overkill, do not worry about the big watts you see, the bigger the better less effort to drive the speakers..(unsafe) if you misuse the equipment...and your processor has also a cut off freq...use it if it worries you... cheers..
Marantz av8801 and mm8077 now available. :)
Can I have a quotation of how much would be the discounted price for each, AV 7701 please include also. Please PM. Thanks!
Very interesting and intriguing at the same time. Technically speaking, what components and features does AV 8801 has over AV 7701 except for the obvious 11.2 channel vs. 7.2 channel that made it more than twice as expensive?
Good point. Maybe I should have just gotten the 7701

Sir pwede ba ma-audition ang Marantz AV8801 and Emotiva XPA-5 combo ninyo. Please note that I would be bringing along my pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.3 floor standing front speakers. Please confirm so we can set the schedule. Many thanks!
i dont know where to post this, but since it's all about marantz, I decided it here.....I got a marantz cd player and two marantz amp( an AVR and an int amp)...I want to connect the cdp to both amp., syempre I will not power both amp at the same time......would it be possible to use a RCA splitter or splitted RCA? is there any other way to do the job? TIA
Does your CDP have a digital out?oops, haven't seen yet he he, di pa dumarating, but I'm planning ahead, bago dumating yung player...a pre owned marantz SACD 8260....plan ko is to buy an RCA Y adapter
Does your CDP have a digital out?meron palang digital output, says audio-database:
You can connect just one digital/RCA cable from the player to the AVR so there's no need for a splitter.sir dalawang amp ang tinutukoy ko with 1 player, yun bang, I will play using player-PM90 ngayon, then bukas or so, same player-SR5005 naman....so without transfering cables from PM90 to SR5005 and vice versa, Y na lang, kung walang bad effect?...
Yes you can use them with both your amps. CD-digital out-AVRok na sana dito e, pinagisip ako :-\
and
CD-analog L,R out-integrated amp.
No need to disconnect.
pag aralan ko pa ito, :D :Dthanks sir fattyacid
But if your CD has a better DAC than your AVR, then I suggest to use a Y splitter.
Listen first to your CD-digital out-AVR. Then listen CD-analog out-AVR. Then choose which sounds better then use it because connections should not matter, but the audio quality. Btw, you have 2 sets of speakers for this setup or just a pair?just a pair sir, madali na lang ang transferring ng cables for speakers
anybody have the 5007/6007 marantz receiver?
pareho ba yung silver finish nitong dalawa? minsan kasi ibang shade of silver yung mas low end.
if pareho, i might go for the 5007.
silver isn't available from the local distributor. :(
thanks for the info. e yung 5007 plastic face ba? (kasi yung 6007 nakasulat all metal face)
Hopefully mas mura ang SR7008 compared with Denon 4520.
Amazon price ng SR7008 is around USD 2K ^-^

Sir, may available ba kayo na marantz AV7701?Need to pair it with my SR7008. Is it possible to pair it with 9.2 channel kahit 7.1 lang ang channel ng AV7701?
sirs thinking of getting the marantz 5006 will they work well with my JBL L820 and lc2ch? if you compare the 5006 with an onkyo receiver ano ka-level niya na model -- 818 or 717?
Baket kaya 7008 lang ang may XT32 from the new series? Walang pangtapat ang marantz sa X4000 e. Tama ba ako, 4520 ang equivalent ng 7008 sa Denon in terms if price and functionality?
In terms of price medyo magkalapit ang Marantz SR-7008 and Denon X4000...
I think nga to bridge the gap between Denon X4000 and Denon 4520 they created the Marantz SR-7008 ;D
are there any new reviews for the 7008? checking youtube wala pa masyadong reviews ..
Correct me if i am wrong, but this thread seems to be a secondary MP.di po ba dapat ang mga pinopost dito is all about sharing experiences with marantz brand. :(i think what avshop meant was, it is available for audition? (for those who want it)
I hope the mods can look into this matter.

I've read the specs, but, medyo noob pa ako sa mga receivers hehe
will the quality of sound in movies/music differ between both? and what does DSD thru hdmi offer in 6008?

Salamat.
Thanks avshop, coastal. I'll try to detach those with some hex head screw drivers (pang eye glasses).

How does the sound of the Marantz AVR compare with their 2 channel counterparts
Patulong po. Meron ako marantz sr5008, ano po magandang center, surround, and subwoofer na pwedeng imatch. Budget is 20k.
Front speaker ko po is Audio Nirvana classic series.
Any recommendations po.
Patulong po. Meron ako marantz sr5008, ano po magandang center, surround, and subwoofer na pwedeng imatch. Budget is 20k.For the perfect timbre match, get AN speakers with the same drivers as your fronts for your center and surrounds, or AT LEAST for the center. Timbre matching is not needed for the sub so any decent sub will do, but it would be wise to get the biggest baddest sub that your room (and wallet) can accommodate. 20k budget? Mahirap yata pagkasyahin if sub is included. Choices would be limited to the lower model commercial subs.
Front speaker ko po is Audio Nirvana classic series.
Any recommendations po.
Sirs help naman.kapatid ng pm90 ko....mukhang pareho ang problema natin....tuwing pinapakanta ko sya, nakatutok ang electric fan. Try mong i-pm si brader markcrenz baka sakaling gusto nyang tanggapin....nakausap ko na sya dati at dadalhin ko sana sa kanya yung pm90, pero dahil malayo ako sa metro, pinagtyatyagaan ko muna habang di pa ako nakakabyahe....
I have PM80 Marantz Amp bought from a fellow pdvd member last 2012 but has recurring problem with sound output. There's static sound and "garalgal" effect, need to press "processor" to fix sound output. Was repaired by AVX shop in Harrison, but problem recurs. Please suggest reliable technician who could help bring my amp into its pristine sound state again. Yung pwede po sana mag on-site sa Greenhills, San Juan Area. Sorry for the OT.

Thanks Sir Sovrain. Already pm markcrenz and hoping to get his reply soon.oo yata bro, yun yata ang sakit nila, pero, ayokong bitawan, satisfying ang tunog e....last summer, after 4 to 6 hours of playing with electric fan, distorted na ang sound....last sunday, gulat ako, halos maghapon na kumakanta, pero di sya nagreklamo, siguro, dahil malamig ang panahon(with electric fan)....
Sakit ba ng old Marantz natin yun? Also noticed na mabilis uminit yung panel. But never thought of cooling with electric fan while using it. Pero try ko. :)
Gandang umaga mga sirs
Have a question, just changed amps from onkyo 809 to marantz 7008 recently and it was the 1st time last night since then na i tried to watch 3d using my panasonic ptae7000
The problem is upon putting the 3d bluray only the audio is there the video from the projector blank
With the onkyo it was automatic to pass through the 3d video, with the marantz ba i need to set this thing up para lumabas yung 3d video mga sir?
Tried searching sa net about this problem cant find anything in relation to it.
Kindly advise... Thanks in advance
In my experience,it should work automatically. I am assuming that you are connected to your source via HDMI?
Go to the setup page of your marantz and check the inputs section.
Dapat gumana sya. Is your hdmi cable 1.4 na?
ako sir naka7008, anong player mo? I'll try it sa egreat kung 3d bluray. sa popcornhour ko ok naman with 7008 kung 3d. Sa pj settings ko kinakalikot kasi di automatic
Brader bladecutter_ph, kumusta na nga pala pm80 mo? Napaayos mo na ba?
Sir sa sobrang busy last year, di ko pa nadala kay markcrenz, though I already message him. Las Pinas pa kasi ako manggagaling but my office is in Mandaluyong area. Tried asking a nearby technician pero ayaw kong pagalaw kasi baka mag experiment lang. Will definitely bring to Markcrenz this week. Unless may option pa kau sir na iba na malapit sa south.ha ha ha, mas malayo na naman ako kay brader markcrenz bro, I am from the north naman. Pinagtyagaan ko na lang muna. Pero, sa lamig siguro ng panahon, hindi sya umaangal, kahit maghapong kumakanta
Gusto ko na minsan bumili ng ibang amp para sa vinyl ko, pero saying naman PM80 ko. Read positive reviews about it too. How about yours sir? :)
@sovrain Never tried playing it with fan :)gamit ko ngayon ay yung laptop cooler, so ok naman, saka ko lang ginagamitan ng electric fan kapag mainit ang panahon...
gamit ko ngayon ay yung laptop cooler, so ok naman, saka ko lang ginagamitan ng electric fan kapag mainit ang panahon...Sir you just gave me an idea. I can buy laptop cooler sa CDR king and just put it on top of PM80 when using it. Let's see if it works hehe :)

Gandang umaga mga sirs
Have a question, just changed amps from onkyo 809 to marantz 7008 recently and it was the 1st time last night since then na i tried to watch 3d using my panasonic ptae7000
The problem is upon putting the 3d bluray only the audio is there the video from the projector blank
With the onkyo it was automatic to pass through the 3d video, with the marantz ba i need to set this thing up para lumabas yung 3d video mga sir?
Tried searching sa net about this problem cant find anything in relation to it.
Kindly advise... Thanks in advance
Brader bladecutter_ph, kumusta na nga pala pm80 mo? Napaayos mo na ba?
My PM80 is back in its pristine state after Markcrenz fixed it. Need to bring the unit again last Monday kasi I failed to test phono with my turntable. Although nawala yung sound distortion, yung phono input naman inayos ni Mark. Got it again last Tuesday and now I'm enjoying my vinyls again. Thanks sir for referring Markcrenz to me.inggit ako brader, sana malapit lang ako jan sa metro para mapaayos ko na rin yung pm90 ko.....congrats brader.... Enjoy....
Happy days are here again :) Bili ulit ng vinyls.

Ganda naman! Best siguro if you use the balanced outputs, mas malinis yung sound.

I never ha any problem on airplay with my b&w zeppelin air. Please kng may guru na nkkaalam ng proby ko. Ty

sir, magkano naman nagastos mo d2 sa parepair?cost me 4k bro, pero sulit talaga, sa halos maghapon kong pagpapatugtog, I can say na mas gumanda ang tunog....
magaling talaga yang c markcrenz, puwede na tawagin Dr. Marcrenz.
any sr5008 owners experienced problems with their units?Never experienced the scenario. Never drops audio when switching BluRay and MediaPlay and vice versa. Maybe an isolated case. :)
i've read customer reviews in amazon complaining of failing hdmi connections and losing audio when switching sources.
Sir patulong naman po. My marantz nr1403 is producing no sounds in playing dts movies. Ano po kaya problem sa setting ko? Tnx in advance
Sir im using hdmi cable from player to receiver then hdmi out from receiver to tv. It works perfectly in playing music but not in dts movie.totally no spund coming out. Pero ok po sya sa hindi dts na moviecan you borrow another player that can play dts too so that you can isolate that it's the marantz who's not working not the player? what is your player btw?and are you playing dvd/bluray or .mkv file?
Hi Guys,
Any advice ano match speaker sa PM6004?
I do have RX1 pero ang talas ng tunog compare sa 4040s2
if 4300 does not have a sub out, best to get a sub with a line input/output. you connect LR channels from the amp to line LR input of the sub, then LR output from sub to the LR speakers.
this way, the stereo image will be sent to sub to produce good deeper bass then the mid/highs sent to speakers..

Suddenly lost audio on my airplay capable Marantz receiver. Did not make any changes on the network and setup. Tried unplugging both end of the LAN cable and reconnecting it worked one time but after a day, I lost audio again. Disconnecting/reconnecting the LAN cable does not work this time. The ios device detects the networked receiver and is showing as connected on both device (receiver and phone) but no audio comes out. I've also tried resetting the receiver as well as restarting the modem/router. Still no audio. Any one encountered this?Resolved the issue by disconnecting the speakers and resetting the receiver to factory default. I'm suspecting the culprit might be the speaker connection.
where to bring marantz AVR for repair? thankshttp://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?topic=177957.0

looking forward to audition both the SR5015 and NR1711 -- hopefully before Christmas ^-^
Bro. Comet, hindi ko magamit yng remote app although na download ko
Na, hindi ko kasi ma setup ang home wifi dahil sa set up button na non-functional.
Pwedeng madumi lang yung internal button contact. Try pencil eraser panlinis.
Mga Sir, May pm ako
Magkabit ka ng ethernet cable sa likod imbes na wifi. Puwede mong i-setup yung unit using web browser on a pc. I hope you know how to get the ip address assigned to the receiver from your router.

May crackling sounds yung Marantz SR5013 ko sa FR channel. Started just recently. Switched to other speakers pero ganun pa din, same channel may crackling sound. Need advise kung pano resolve to. Unit is less that 2 years old. TIA.
Anyone here with Marantz sr6015 already.
Ano performance? Thanks
Anyone here with Marantz sr6015 already.Have the previous version SR6014. Seems less hard hitting vs Onkyo NR 818 sa bass.
