There are several potential reasons why the remote controller might not be working with your Marantz Receiver. First, ensure the batteries aren't dead and replace them if needed. Second, make sure you are within the remote's operating range and that there are no obstructions blocking the signal between the remote and the receiver. Strong light interfering with the unit's infrared receptor can also be a factor, so try to shield the receiver from direct light. Also, verify that the remote controller is set to the correct mode by pressing the AMP button. Finally, check that the receiver's IR setting is enabled; if it's disabled, change it to IR = ENABLE.

If you're not getting any sound from your Marantz Receiver, there are a few things to check. First, make sure the input cables are fully connected between the receiver and your source component (like a CD player). Refer to the connection diagram for guidance. Next, ensure the input selector is set to the correct input terminal for your source component. Also, verify that the volume isn't set too low and that the mute function is not activated. Finally, if you have headphones connected, remove them.

Why is the STANDBY indicator blinking slowly on my Marantz Receiver?

If the STANDBY indicator on your Marantz Receiver is blinking slowly (twice a second), it could indicate a few issues. There might be a short-circuit in the speaker cable, or the unit may have been played at a higher volume than it was designed for. It's also possible that you are using speakers with lower impedance than required, or that the unit is overheating due to being placed in a confined space. To troubleshoot, unplug the AC power cable and check the speaker cable connections. Try turning the volume down. Always use speakers with the required impedance and ensure there's enough space around the unit for ventilation. Use the remote controller to turn on the power. If the problem persists, unplug the AC power cable and have the unit serviced.

If the sound image from your Marantz Receiver does not localize correctly and sounds unnatural, unplug the AC power cable and check the speaker cable connections. Incorrect polarity or improper speaker positioning can cause this issue.

Why is there a hissing noise from my Marantz Receiver when there is no input signal?

If you hear a hissing noise (residual noise) when there is no input signal on your Marantz Receiver, it could be due to the unit's surround DSP. If the noise bothers you when listening to a 2CH source, try listening in SOURCE DIRECT mode.
