  If your Marantz Amplifier isn't responding to the remote controller, the issue might be due to several reasons. Start by replacing the batteries in the remote controller with new ones. Ensure that you are within the remote controller's operable range. Remove any objects that might be blocking the path between the remote controller and the unit. Also, avoid exposing the remote sensor on the unit to strong light.

Why is there noise or no sound when playing records on my Marantz Amplifier?
- L
  Laura CrawfordAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing noise or no sound when playing records on your Marantz Amplifier, check the grounding connection from the record player to ensure it's properly connected to the PHONO GND terminal of the unit. Also, verify that the output jacks of the record player are correctly connected to the PHONO IN jacks. Ensure that devices like a TV aren't placed too close to the record player, as they may interfere with the sound. Finally, check that the PHONO MC button is correctly set for the type of cartridge you are using (set to MC if using an MC cartridge).

How to fix uneven volume in left and right speakers on Marantz PM-15S2 Amplifier?
- M
  Matthew GrayAug 28, 2025
  If the volume levels from the left and right speakers are different on your Marantz Amplifier, the left- and right-channel volume levels (LEVEL TRIM) might be set unevenly. To fix this, set the trim levels for both the left and right channels to zero. Check that sound is output from both channels. Then, readjust the left- and right-channel volume as needed.

  If the protection circuit activates due to the main amplifier overheating on your Marantz Amplifier, 'PROTECT' will flash on the display, and the volume will decrease automatically. After about 8 seconds, the protection circuit will deactivate. You can then adjust the volume again.

Why does howling occur when I turn up the volume while playing records on my Marantz Amplifier?
- T
  Toni RowlandSep 2, 2025
  If you experience howling when increasing the sound volume during record playing with your Marantz Amplifier, it could be due to the record player and speakers being too close together. Place the speakers as far away from the record player as possible. Also, the record player might be placed on a surface prone to vibration. If your record player didn't come with an insulating pad, consider using one available on the market.
