thanks - wife and I both looked at the wire close up using our glasses and there was some very faint writing that neither of us could distinguish
I do have some black electrical tape, so might put a piece of that on each negative strand
ok thanks for your reply - we went into a specialist store that only sells AV equipment. We bought the manual from our old receiver and asked what the equivalent model today and he said the 5012 is, and it happened to be on special for $999 NZ down from $1699.
It has a raft of...
Ok so wife & I bit the bullet and bought a new receiver - Marantz 5012
before disconnecting our old Marantz I made sure to note down where everything was plugged into - we had HDMI''s and RCA leads plugged in to and from the Sky TV box to the receiver to the TV and same with the Blu ray...
Ok so as posted in my earlier threads our Marantz receiver is playing up.... My wife's friend's partner does home theatre / home security instillation for a job and he had a look / listen and thinks one of the resistors might be blown and it could cost upwards of $200 + (NZ$) to get fixed.

sorry - I didn't think I was telling anyone they are wrong... I didn't know the correct terminology for the receiver - I play in a band and use an amp all the time so that's probably why I was calling it an amp - my bad

thanks for that - some people said not to turn the amp on as the noise it is making is not good for the amp and could be damaging the amp or the speakers.... so in my opinion turning the amp volume down is not going to fix the problem
We have a Marantz 5.1 amp about 9 years old and it has started playing up
I posted an earlier thread about the loud crackling / popping noise it was making for the first 30-60 seconds when first turned on.
Anyway I have disconnected the TV / DVD from the amp so the amp doesn’t get used.
I...
we've got a Marantz 5.1 amp and wharfedale speakers (unsure of the models) - 2 floor standing speakers, 2 surround 1 sub and 1 centre speaker.
We would like to get rid of the floor standing speakers and replace them with something like these...
Hi - I'm new here and have a problem with my marantz amp
from about 3 months ago when I turned the amp on it would make a loud crackling / popping sound through the wharfedale speakers for about 39-59 seconds before the crackling stops and normal sound come out - click on link
