yup, hirap kumuha stocks these days, bro....

You could try looking sa Park Square, sa mga AV shops dun, also sa mga AV shops sa Edsa Shangrila

bkit wala na ko makitang 4300, san kaya meron?

naayos na ba ng marrantz yung hissing sound?

100% no hissing sound.

I am a proud owner of a Marantz 6300  .  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  .

BTW I bought it at sir Sonny T's place, very accommodating and I learned a lot from him.

Congrats... Another proud owner of Marantz.

Post your reviews soon.

Enjoy.

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?

Gutierrez,

I don't own a marantz receiver pero based on your post baka naman speaker settings lang ang problema.  Baka di mo pa na-set ng tama.  Ang alam ko kasi meron speaker volume/level settings ang bawat receiver.  Pwede mo i-set sa large or small yung speakers pati yung volume level ng bawat speaker pwede rin i-adjust .Try mo i-adjust doon.  Kung mahina pa rin try mo hanapin yung dynamic range setting/control ng receiver mo.  Yung sa receiver ko kasi (yamaha) meron siyang min, standard, and max setting para dito.  I personally prefer it being set at max.

Pero mas maganda siguro tawagan mo na lang yung binilhan mo ng receiver and tanungin mo kung bakit mahina yung volume level ng system mo.  Tanungin mo na rin yung optimal/preferred settings para sa receiver mo.  I'm sure matutulungan ka niya sa problema mo.  

Good Luck!

As much as possible make sure na walang kashare yung marantz sa outlet na nakasaksak sya, baka nahihirapang kumuha ng power yung receiver. Or baka nga sa speaker level lang. Did you test this unit in the shop you bought it from?

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

Medyo maraming iaadjust like speaker level setting bass management, etc.

Pero dapat malakas na yan sa +15db.


Sent you pm.

actually hindi pa nga gumagana yung sa dvd (philips 727k), I connected it via optical pero no sound .
I tested it with my xbox and tv using composite in, pero mahina sya talaga parang yung mga htib w satellites speakers lang  .

Para ma-appreciate mo yun sound it should be set to
-10 db, pero yung rear mahina pa din  :'(

Resent.

gutierrez,

basically just "reset" the settings: - The SR6300 is turned on, press and hold the A/D and DIMMER
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds or more.

Then start from there, first input, for digital configure first the output settings of your dvd player, be sure that the audio out is set to digital and set the audio output to "RAW mode".

Then sa input ng receiver, set mo manually yung digital input sa particular digital input ng receiver.

Then (assuming na nakaconnect ng yung mga speakers), set the speaker size (set all to large first even na may sub ka na) and level ( '0' muna tayo) then the speaker distance.

Then sa preference and or bass  management.


Sent you pm again...

gutierrez,

Yeah, check your connections, assignments & settings to make sure that you have done everything by the book.

As for my 4300, my reference volume is -20 (w/ the speakers' volume levels set at + 3 ea.). I can know at this point if the audio of my software is loud or not.

Try tinkering more w/ your setting.

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

It's not anemic or whatever you wanna call it.
Sabi nga nila bihira at mahal ang receiver na magaling sa both HT & Music.

Marantz is really musical... (I agree that if a receiver is good in music,  generally it is good in HT, but not the other way around).

I think maiimprove mo ang HT sound sa ipapares mong speakers, if you want your HT listening bright and detailed, just purchased a "bright" speakers.

IMHO, side-by-side comparison of technical specifications and sound quality (subjective because of different preferences), I'll choose Marantz over Onkyo (same series receivers of course).

If still in doubt, the best thing to do is audition the Marantz receivers and hear for yourself.

bro, did you get the chance to read the Home Entertainment supertest?  in that review, both the marantz sr-5300 and yamaha rx-v630 received 5 stars but the strength of one is the weakness of the other.

from the article:

"The Marantz deals with cinema in the same way that the Yamaha handles music. Strangely, they both do the same thing to their strong and weak points; the Yamaha makes cinema natural and music bland, while the Marantz makes excellent music but is cinematically anaemic."

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.  i havent heard yamaha or HK, but ive heard denon & onkyo, which also sound excellent.  sorry can't compare directly coz they're all setup with different speakers & dvd players.

marantz plays music very well.  the mids & midbass are well rounded so they dont sound thin on stereo playback.  the treble is smooth & detailed even if you turn up the volume.  this is a very good balance for music, and matches well with detailed speakers.  on movies, it is also capable of slam-bang action, but ive read enough good reviews about yamaha that im willing to concede the cinema crown to the yammies even without hearing it.  but for the features and especially the music... its marantz!  if its ok to do without the 6th channel and a few less features but perfect balance on music & HT, probably HK!

it really boils down to priorities between features, music & movies.  in my case, since music is top priority, im more inclined to get a more musical receiver like rotel/nad (if i can afford it) or marantz/hk.  if i want the sound effects to jump right at me as yamaha does, i simply adjust the treble control one notch higher.  however, im very much intruiged by yamaha as it seems to be consistently winning awards & good reviews as a cinema receiver.

proper matching of speakers also counts alot.  dont match with speakers that are laid back & warm.  on music its not an issue but on HT it may round off the details.

 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.
