No audio output - Marantz 2238

No, it is a Surround Sound Receiver for taking television signal, or a signal from another device and amplifying it to multiple speakers..

Connect the Blueray player to the HDMI input of the TV. Use the TV's audio output to the receiver. You cannot do 7.1 using analog signals.

To play audio from your DVD player through the 2238b, you will need to hook the RCA left an right outputs from the DVD to the Aux IN on the back of the 2238b. Then you will need to power on the 2238b and place the selector switch to the Aux position. Lastly, adjust the volume to a level you are comfortable with and that should be it.

If you are inclined to try to service this unit the first step is to download a service manual, this is a sight that has a copy of the manual for download for a price

you will require some hand tools, soldering iron and desoldering brade and some solder, multi meter and some type of signal tracing device like and oscilloscope or and audio tracing amplifier.
Look for missing power supply's to your RF front-end circuits and FM discriminator , also track down the analog switching ic to varrifie that this unit is functioning and selecting the FM circuits
if you still kneed help contact me further with your findings and a copy of the service guide

Probably not at FixYa. You might try Marantz at their web site. Select your region of the world and go from there.

Thats a strange problem. It could just be the dock, but you can get a whole new XpressEZ and car kit for the same price as the dock here:

Try plugging in headphones, if they work, it sounds like outputs have blown,

Does the display show "tuned" or "FM Stereo"? This would normally indicate a good reception. The tuner has a signal level threshold and if the signal gets to week, the receiver mutes to prevent noise in the speakers. Swithing to mono make reception less intolerant. Does the problem also occur, when you switch to mono?

I had the same problem. Only thing that I came up with that was consistant is plugging it into the aux jack on my radio so you don't have to depend on FM frequency. But, my unit crapped out this week and I hope it is under warranty.

Hi tliguyanadig

You can hook up the speaker "between" left and right outputs. Just connect the center speaker between left +ve and right +ve outputs respectively. It will give a spacial effect that some like and some dont:) Try it and see for yourself. Your marantz amp will handle the load OK. It is rated 38 watts into 8 ohms, but there is not alot of load presented by this sort of setup. Let me know what you think.
