Top 20 Marantz SR-7200 Receiver Questions & Answers

Check Speaker connections at BOTH ends and double check to see that they are on the right terminals. If you need a manual . the Marantz site will have one . PLus they may have FAQ notes for that receiver Cheers

if it's a blown amp channel, might cost around $150 to repair

I have the Marantz sr6003 but i cant get sound ot of it what must i do !!!!!! I dont know what go were can you help .pls i want to connect my pc to the amp

Sounds to me like something fried. If no output are working, but the rest seems to be. Are you talking like digital audio out, or speaker terminals. Could be an internal relay. or single audio plugin board. Not sure how it's set up on the inside.

Register and download the manual for free at retrevo.com http://www.retrevo.com/support/Marantz-SR7200-Receivers-manual/id/511dj782/t/2/ Simply run a composite video (RCA) cable to the TV.

Get the manual, make sure your speakers are hooked up right, go through the setup and get back.

Hello Sergio.

Sounds like a bare wire (speaker wire) most probably is touching your SR's metal body.

Remove all speaker cables, re-terminate them clean (cut, trim, and twist again) and then re-plug them in to the binding posts.

When you go puredirect, it overcoms some filtering circuits of the board and this should be the reason why it stops.

Try that & advise.

Hand it in for repair.

Bad capacitor or blown power supply.

Hope this helps

I bought a RC3200 programmable remote after my dog chewed the origional unit. £30 off ebay, works a great. It comes preprogrammed for all Marantz units. Only problem is that it is a bit hard on batteries.

The most common problem found on FixYa for Audio Video Receiver's is:

My receiver say's "Protect" or turns on then off. What's wrong? Seven times out of ten it is a shorted speaker or speaker wire. To determine your exact problem, the first step is to disconnect all speaker wires "at your receiver" Next: Turn the receiver back on. If your receiver still says "protect" or turns off, it needs to be serviced. If your receiver stays on; reconnect your speakers one at a time and power back up after each speaker. You may find that after reconnecting all speaker wires it works! Most commonly the small braids of wire from the + to the - have touched and have caused the problem. In some instances, you noticed the problem only when turning the volume up. either way, make sure the exposed wires to your receiver are no longer than 1/2" long and are completely under the screw down terminal or slide in. When you've found the wire or speaker with the problem, your receiver will go back into "protect" At this point, disconnect the wire from the speaker at the speaker that may be causing the problem then test again.* Note* Make sure speaker wires do Not touch each other as this Will cause a short! If you turn the receiver back on and it stays on, you now know the problem is in your speaker itself. To test your speaker, you will need a multimeter. Set it to ohms resistance and touch the speaker terminals, if there is a short internally the meter will read "1......" If it's an analog meter, it will peg to the right. There's your problem. Now, within any speaker there are quite a few possibilities as to what could be causing the problem. Most common is a blown coil and the speaker needs to be replaced. Some speakers have internal crossovers (usually floor standing speakers) and may have a shorted or burnt board (usually very visible brown burn marks on the board) and can possibly be repaired if your handy with a soldering iron. Now, if you disconnect the speaker wire at the speaker and it still says "protect" Check your wire for the obvious cut or nail thru the wire if possible. If your system has wiring that runs behind walls, you may need to use your meter again. Disconnect the wire at both ends, keep the ends separated, put your meter on ohms resistance and touch probes to the + and - wires at one side. If the meter pegs to the right or reads "1...." the wire is shorted and needs to be replaced or repaired at the short. Hope this helps.

If you don't use the remote control is it okay? If so, tear apart your remote control, use a Q-tip to clean all the lines in the circuit board where the rubber contacts touch. Then make sure that the rubber buttons don't have any 'gunk' on them that are making them stick. Clean the rubber pad with a qtip with dishsoap. Dry well, put back together and see if she works. Report back on your success. Good luck.

Check for a burn resistor

if your hooking up a phono input lead to a digital input lead it won't work analog and digital totally different setup. when you connect the leads up it just kills the input amp so there is no noise.

Have you changed any connections behind the CAV recently? This happened to an associate of mine once and it just turned out to be something simple. This may or may not be the situation in your case. Check to make sure your source audio cables are connected to the correct source number that you assigned in the programming (Ex. AM/FM Tuner = Source 1). Also make sure your audio cable is connected to Source 1 IN (and not the "OUT").

Narrow down the source of the problem:

Make sure the keypad you are using to test the CAV is not in "Mute" mode. Press the "Pause" button to engage/disengage from mute.

To further troubleshoot your issue if the above is not the case you want to use a device (such as an ipod tthat you are sure the audio output is working using a stereo mini to red and white rca cable) and plug into each source input (one at a time) behind the Cav then monitor that source# on the keypad to see if you hear the ipod on any of the sources. If you hear the ipod playing on some sources and not others it obviously means some of your source inputs are having problems and the unit needs to be shipped to Russound for repair.


Make sure the front of the Cav6.6 has the proper colored lights lit up. When no keypads are on the zone should show red, when a keypad is off the color should be green for that zone, if there is a short circuit with the speaker wire the CAV might be in protection mode and the color might show orange.

Hope this helps.

For resetting sr6001: When power lights blinking, press "clear" + "pure direct" + "7.1 ch input" simultaneously for 3 seconds.iskender

I had the same problem on my 7200 until I realized that the display comes up on the television screen. I carefully followed the set up required from the manual. I got the Manual online at Marantz.com. I have a cable hook up so I connected the video cable out from the box to the Video in source on the 7200 and monitor out to my Television. I then pressed the Amp button to get the remote to Amp mode. I then pressed the OK button that is in the center of the four direction buttons and the menu displayed itself on the screen . I hope this helps. ercble
