Marantz AV600 - Need Manual (1 Viewer)

[GarryW]

I picked up one of these on Ebay recently and need a copy of the owners manual. Can anyone help me out? Faxing is OK too.
Thanks!

I'm having trouble with accessing the OSD using the remote or on the unit. The video switching portion does work with S-Video or Composite on other items like LD, VCR, so there must be some trick that I can't figure out.

Any AV600 owners out there?

I have an AV600. I'll try to dig up the manual tonight and maybe I can fax portions of it to you if you have a fax number.
The OSD doesn't work if you're connected to the TV with Svideo, only if you connect via composite, as I recall.
You can't switch different types of sources. So, if you run a composite to the TV, you can only switch composite. If you run Svideo, you can only switch Svideo.
So, if you have Svideo from say a DVD into the AV600, and a composite from a VCR into the AV600, and then an Svideo from the AV600 to the TV, the VCR won't work.
The video switcher can't convert a composite signal into Svideo and vise versa, I don't think any video switcher can, but I know the AV600 can't.
I'll come back here tomorrow if I can find my manual.

Jim:
Thanks for your help!

Please fax the pertanent parts of the manual to me at 708-447-7875.
I do use an s-video switcher and I think that may be part of the problem too.
It sure is nice to have access for this type of information via the HTF!
