Why is my Marantz NR1501 making a humming noise?
If you hear a humming noise coming from inside your Marantz Receiver, try turning off electric heaters and other similar appliances, as the sound can sometimes be related to power source conditions.
What to do if my Marantz Receiver subwoofer has no sound?
If there is no sound from the subwoofer connected to your Marantz Receiver, ensure the subwoofer is turned on and the subwoofer level isn't too low. Also, check that SUBWOOFER = YES is selected in the SPEAKER CONFIG menu.
Why does my Marantz NR1501 skip the beginning of tracks when playing CDs on a DVD player?
If your Marantz Receiver is cutting off the beginning of tracks when skipping on a CD played through a DVD player, use an analog connection instead of digital.
