Do you hear any fan noise. Currently have an older JVC "slimline" amp that seems to run hot and have fan noise

I don't think there is a fan in these units. I have had several marantz receivers over the last 30 years, and none of them have had a fan.

I do not hear any fan noise what so ever. It was a good decision to buy after looking and reading about them for years.

No fan noise that we have heard but we have it in a closet and use the marantz app on our iPads to control it. This receiver is awesome. Have had it for a year and have had no problems. Good brand, has plenty of outlets and is super easy to set up.

No fan noise at all. Old JVC... New Marantz... Totally different worlds. The 1504 is a nice peice.

I hear absolutely zero noise. I dont think it even has a fan? One thing tho: I had an older model and the dsp chip died at some point. Repair was going to be 400 bucks so i had to trash it and buy a new one. Not really cool.

I just brought mine home and I did notice a slight fan noise when I had the sound turned way down. It was a little annoying, but something that I would get quickly used to. This set is so awesome I wouldn't even think about not buying it over such a nitpick.

I have this unit and the only time I've noticed the fan running is when it goes through a periodic self-test, then you can hear the fan kick in. I just got down and put my ear aside the fan vent and could hear a fan but very low volume. My tower is near and the fans in there are much louder, and they are "quiet" fans.

Just thought I'd let you people know I just got my 40" Sony XBR4 hooked up and I couldn't hear the fans. I watched an entire Blu-ray movie and a little bit of regular TV programming and yet still no fan noise. Then I turned the Input to an unused one so I was sure no sound would be produced from the speakers to check the fans... still, completely silent. Maybe I got lucky... or maybe Sony fixed the problem by the time I ordered mine. Dunno.

I don't notice a noise in the speakers until I turn off the tv and leave it on then it makes noise. As for overheating, I just touched the back of mine and the metal is hot but it hasn't overheated yet and it's been in since the day I wrote the post. I'm sorry if that doesn't help

Mine does make a very slight fan sound. Only noticeable if it is very quiet.

Yeah, i have a 500 but only run it at 250 because if i turn it up any higher it drones out all the mid and treble in my pickup. 300 watts it pleanty for this sub, cant go wrong with JL Audio!

You know I had to go and check! However, I have an 828LM and no hum whatsoever. Have you unplugged (the replugged) the unit and tested it away from other equipment for this humming noise?

Hello Debby, The short answer to that is no, I have had two of these PW3500s and apart from the cooling fan which is very quite they make no noise, even on full load.John.

I have the XBR4 40" and must admit I sometimes watch with low volumein the late hrs and the fan noise does annoy me. I guess I've gotten used toit. I also realize that if it didn't have the cooling fans, the life of the set would be shorter.

The amp will get warm at whatever setting the gain is at. I have mine at just under 3/4 and it gets warm, not hot. Completely normal.

This replaced my stock amp in my 2000 Ford Explorer Sport quite well. Just added an external fan for heat the amp was putting out, seemed to work well without fan but I didn't want to take the chance anyway. It's been doing better than the stock one though and I've actually a Nexus 7 doing all my stereo needs along with "Nice Extra Capabilities" now without issues. Hope this helps.

Follow up: After several months my V3 developed an termittant pulsing noise in the left channel. I worked with a technician in China to try and get rid if the noise. Not successful. I purchased a second one with the same results. Finally got a Fiio e7K DAC/Neadphone amp on Amazon and I'm now very happy.

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well
