User questions & answers

Question:	My subwoofer does not work in pure direct mode. Is this expected? I like the sound in pure direct but it is lacking some bass. Is my setup wrong
Answer:	Hello, Direct and Pure Direct modes bypass all internal processing including any bass management. For output to the sub, you would want to use Stereo mode. Thanks, Marantz North America
Question:	When used for tv/movies does the surround sound feature help solidify center focused dialog? this was always a bit of an annoyance with 2 channel
Answer:	Hello, The NR1200 does not support Dolby or DTS decoding. It only accepts analog or PCM based input signals. There's also no simulation that can be used. The best you can output is 2.1. Thanks, Marantz North America
Question:	Are there any restrictions on which formats may be sent through the receiver via Airplay
Answer:	Hello, In the receivers, AirPlay is converted to PCM at 24 bit / 48 kHz. Thanks, Marantz North America
Question:	Front l/r pre-out rca connections can be used to connect an external amp. are there any distinct advantages or disadvantages to connecting an ext amp
Answer:	Hello, There's really no disadvantage. The advantage would be if the external amp produces more power than the 1200's internal amps. This would better power your speakers. Thanks, Marantz North America

User questions & answers

Question:	General question: do all av receivers have built-in dac chip? if they do, will adding a separate dac component make any difference
Answer:	Thanks for your question. A digital source (like a DAC) should be connected to a digital optical or digital coax digital input. That input should be "assigned" to one of the aux inputs as detailed in the Marantz owners manual. Many AV receivers have built in DACs, necessary for the receiver to process audio from digital video inputs like HDMI. World Wide Stereo is 40 years old and a proud authorized Marantz dealer.
Question:	Can speaker height outputs be used as elevation height fronts, which i can do (or should be height rear which i can't do
Answer:	Thanks for your question. Marantz SR7013 owners manual details the necessary configuration for using both height front and height rear speakers. It will require use of an additional 2 channel amplifier (as detailed on page 62). World Wide Stereo is 41 years old and a proud authorized Marantz dealer.
Question:	How many channels of amplification? How many watts per channel? This probably should be stated some place
Answer:	125w +125w 8 Ohms
Question:	How come i cant purchase a protection plan

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have the bluetooth ldac codec
Answer:	The Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver fills a specific need, instantly turning your old-school hi-fi audio system into one that supports wireless Bluetooth. Thanks to beefy specs- 24-bit sampling, support for the aptX high-quality codec as well as A2DP and AVRCP, and both digital optical (SPDIF) and RCA analog outputs- even the most serious audiophile will approve. Where the music comes from, goes to, and exactly what plays on the station is totally up to you- but we tested using both Macbook Air laptops and smartphones operating on both Android and iOS 7/8, and using everything from 96K MP3s to higher bitrate classical files. The Audioengine is a plug-and-play solution, with no drivers or software necessary, and unlike with AirPlay, there is no need for a router. Unlike Sonos and other similar systems, though, there is no multi-room support so you'll be limited to a single system. And you'll need to be within a closer range- about 30 feet.
Question:	Does this unit have the aptx hd codec
Answer:	Yes, I use 3 of them, two in two different rooms and one in the car. They each get a unique Bluetooth GUID, and the way you switch depends on which phone you are using. On iOS/Apple when a Bluetooth audio out is available, you go to settings/Bluetooth and connect to the receiver you want to play to. They will all be listed as "audioengine B1", but there will be two of them there. One for each room.
Question:	Is it normal for unit to have audible click when powering on or off when parallel/btl is on
Answer:	Yes. The B1 comes with an onboard DAC as part of the package. I bypass the internal DAC through a Kimber Toslink cable, in favor of my musical fidelity v90 DAC. Whether you use your DAC, the B1's, the blue tooth receiver will give you access to all of your music stored in the cloud or or locally on your smartphone or other device.
Question:	Does it have a plug in for a turn table
Answer:	I am going to throw my two cents worth in, although the others have already answered this question very well. The main differences between the B1 and cheaper devices are range and sound quality. The B1 has far better range, even for devices which do not produce a strong emitting signal. Also, the sound quality is much much better. The reason I purchased the B1 is because I have a high end stereo and the cheaper bluetooth receiver I had produced a noticeably poorer sound. I mainly use this with a Sony high definition (HD) music player (using FLAC lossless files) or sometimes with an iPod Touch (using 320 kbs MP3 files). The FLAC files especially would point out the flaws of the cheaper Bluetooth receiver, whereas the clarity of the music using the B1 is excellent.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can Bluetooth headphones connect to this receiver
Answer:	Don't know, but it is probably the standard magnet cartridge input impedance/capacitance. I have had this unit for about 2yrs and love it! the best thing about it is ZERO hum. Sounds and works great.
Question:	model ? I have been searching for the new 8k models. This sqys 4k in the header and 8k on the description. Please confirm
Answer:	I believe the previous response answers your question. Since the TCC TC-754 AUX inputs do not pass the signal through the RIAA equalization circuit, you need a separate phono preamp like the TC-750. I use a TC-780LC stereo line level booster in series between my B&O turntable and the TCC TC-754 phono preamp. B&O cartridges have very low output and require more amplification than provided by the TCC TC-754 phono preamp.
Question:	Can you use a separate amp to drive the front left and right channels and reallocate the 9 channels of the SR 7015 to create a 7.2.4 Atmos theater
Answer:	Does the popping still occur when you change the source to a channel that the pre-amp not plugged in? Have you tried switching the phono cable that the pre-amp connects to the amp with? I've not had this problem with mine, I'm using a a/c adapter to power mine.
Question:	Does this cool sufficiently on its own or should i get an additional cooing fan? https://www.amazon.com/ac-infinity-front-exhaust-receivers-components
Answer:	No, single source at a time only. You would need a mixer for that.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many speakers can I run at one time through this receiver
Answer:	It has a gloss finish.
Question:	Is this receiver in stock and are you actually able to deliver it on October 14th, or are they on backorder with Marantz with uncertain delivery
Answer:	Improving sound of Netflix or the TV? We have the same lower sound from Amazon Instant video also but nothing to do with the Samsung 5300. Normal volume for TV for us is about 19-25 setting but Internet videos force us to increase to 30-40 on the bar. I'll add that if you just want to up the overall volume and quality you can always add one of the many external speaker/amp units, BUT you could also do what I did on our 32"... I cut a clear plastic bottle about 4" diameter or so lengthwise and then used some black duct tape to hang them over each speaker on the bottom of the frame (tape on back of tv) this made two "scoops" facing forward and directs the sound out the front rather than down. Beiing clear they really do not show from viewing distance. Those and making the best of the built in sound "modes" and settings you can really tailor to something more.It does help and costs nothing to try first before you buy add on sound system.
Question:	Is the front panel metallic or plastic
Answer:	Samsung has its own special 'clear motion rate' that they use to determine the hz level. Other companys do it to with their own wording. Basically in short its like saying....samsungs proprietary image processor provides a smoother and cleaner image than the general old school version or knockoff brand and that being said lends the image to look like its 120hz. When combined with the led backlit technology and the panels 60hz refresh rate its basically equivalent to the modern day 120hz models. I have 4 HDTVs and I can tell you that there is a huge difference between samsung and other brands. This particular tv I have hooked up straight to the cable so I don't even get the luxury's of having crystal clear HDTV you get from having a cable box with HDTV features. I have the brightness turned down all the way to 0 as well lol since its in a bedroom with blacked out curtains. The TV is solid the apps are solid and the fact that samsung is working on an adapter to constantly update the smart features is awesome. The only down side is that this is the start of a new erra. OLED is going to be the norm. Google it for more info but basically your going to get deeper blacks with it because your turning LEDs off not hiding them. For what its worth its an awesome low end smart TV with solid features, images, HDMI! hello-3 i think thats more than my 65" samsung has. Keeping it at 40 inches is a good small-med sized room TV, my recommendation is to get a 46" if you want it for a medium sized room and is you want a living room TV go 55". I regret my 65" purchase - to big. Streatches pixels and makes mediocre cable look terrible because you see every flaw. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask another question I have no problem providing info/answers to any questions.
Question:	HDMI 2.1 port
Answer:	Yes you can. It is one of the apps you can download. There's tons of other apps you can download. Hulu, Netflix, Pandora. Great TV best purchase I've made

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a fully balanced unit or does it just offer xlr outputs
Answer:	The 6014 only has 9 amps but It does process 11 channels but you need a 2 channel amp to get the last 2 channels. Some people get an amp for the 2 fronts then power everything else through the receiver. I use an inexpensive 2 channel amp to power my rear height speakers. (Monoprice Unity 100-Watt Bridgeable Power Amp) Works great for setting up a 7.2.4 on the 6014.
Question:	How is the 2 channel music listening in pure direct mode
Answer:	Their 2 channel products. Integrated amps
Question:	Can I amp assign biamped front speakers for a 5.1.2? The manual only shows 9.1 biamped
Answer:	Yes you can . Amazon Carrie's them
Question:	Does the marantz av7705 support a 7.2.4 setup? i hope to have 2 self-powered subwoofers
Answer:	Hello, Our receivers really don't support passive subs. We recommend using powered subs or using an external amp to power the subs. Thanks, Marantz North America
