I see some reports that the volume/tuner knob can fail. If this goes, can the unit still be operated in a crippled mode?

Yes, it can. As far as frequency just use the keypad or the scan buttons. As far as volume you punch in the volume level you want on the keypad, say 22, then you press the key labeled "VOL" on the upper left and that's it.

This is news to me. I bought mine a year ago. Still have no issues. I use the radio and the CD player most of the time.

My experience is that it's not reliable, I've had mine for 10 months & I'm having connection issues(crackling/static) with the phone jack that started about 3 months ago. The jack is rarely used , about 10 times before the issue started. Also, I just recently starting having issues with the volume control (crackling/static + drop-out in the right channel.) The volume knob is also rarely used as I control volume with my source...

I've had no problems with mine, but I don't use it often. I picked up a headphone jack to analog converter cable, and just use the R & L inputs in the back. The quality on this unit is fantastic, it's well built and I don't think you'll have any issues.

unfortunately no, it either in music mode or in intercom mode - cant do both modes simultaneously.

A.B., When you say it cuts off seemingly, do you mean the blue screen goes off? If the unit is on, the blue screen will show which function is selected. Do you have no volume on all functions or just some? One thing I've noticed is the volume control seemingly has no stopping point when turned down, even when the volume bar has disappeared. Some possible reasons for no volume could be: (1) volume control is still too far counterclockwise, (2) the Function switch is set to CD with no disc inserted, Phono with no record on the turntable or cassette in the drive, or Aux with nothing plugged in, (3) damaged speakers or broken connection to speakers. I know this probably isn't much help, but those are the only possible problems I can think of. I hope yours is a simple fix. BT

I have used several decades Marantz and had never a broken unit, I'm sure that Marantz Europe will help you with service if needed.Be aware that US equipment is build for 110Volt 60Hz, Europe has 230Volt 50HzBest Regards,Andries Bosma

Had the same problem then I noticed if you don't push the MODE button, it works fine. Also don't push the MODE button if you want it to play all tracks and then stop.

I do not have that problem with this tuner. It locks in the stations very well. I have had your problem in the past with other tuners.

My tuning system went haywire after a few years of heavy use and wouldn't tune anything - it jumped all over the place with buttons or with the knob. I didn't replace it, but I'm thinking of getting another one - when it was working, it was a good, sensitive receiver.

My roommate had this system last year and he played them at a fairly loud level the entire year and didn't have any issues with it. It sounds like you may have not had some of the options correct or use you just had a "dud" system. Meaning one bad system.

Hi Stacey! I relly can not imagine what could have happened with this unit. Mine works fine, good sound. I owned one for over a year and no problem so far.

If the volume on the sub-woofer is all the way up and the volume on the computer is turned up, the remote should work . However, if the above is true and the volume on the remote was all the way off when the remote stopped working the unit can't be adjusted and as far as I know, no other remote works. Try changing the batteries before you give completely up.

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

Had this happen with mine, took apart the in line remote and removed the volume dial, obviously you cannot adjust the volume after that but if you have a media keyboard you can change that functionality via the keyboard.
