In Reply to: My Marantz SR7200 Blew Up! posted by Potsy on October 10, 2001 at 04:55:03:
I'm on my second 7200, and this one is jank too! I hear of S-video problems, but I wouldn't know. I am having problems with popping noises coming from my speakers. It happens using digital inputs between tracks on CD's, when I select tracks, at the end of the CD, when I turn the volume all the way down, when I track through DVD's, between menus and such, and when I hit pause or play! I did so much research and thought that I had fallen in love with the Marantz("because music matters"). The 6200 loaner they gave me had no such symptoms. It lacks a couple of options and doesn't have as good of DAC or remote though. Am I supposed to get a Denon 3802? I am so pissed off. I went through 10 faulty Sony Wega's before realizing that they ALL have problems. I do not want to go through the same ordeal. Please tell me if you have the same problems with yours. Thanks and good luck!!!

Hey!A guy posted to audioreview.com about this problem, rumored to be a faulty mute circuit (evidently something Marantz put in there so you wouldn't have to listen to noise between the tracks on analogue recordings.
Supposedly it only happens when you are using a digital connection (analog is ok), and only on analog recorded material, i.e. on AAD, but not DDD.
I haven't heard if Marantz is looking into the problem or not.
Hope that helps!

I've had my marantz sr5000 for a few years and have never had a problem. I'm looking into getting a newer receiver and was looking into the 7200. This is the first time I've heard of anyone having multiple problems with a marantz product.
