Regarding the POP OF DEATH issue, is there anyone that own this amp? The issue is that the amp will have a pop and goes into protected mode. This is triggered by cable boxes, htpcs, tivos, appletvs, etc. There are documented cases of POD skeptics having a 6004 or 5004 installed and it popping into protect mode in less than 30 minutes. it is a real issue. But apparently heard from rumors that someone with multiple IDs are actually sabotaging Marantz... http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/360302.aspx |

If yes, I would suggest to get in touch with the rep for Marantz. The new Marantz amps seem to have some issues, however, I have not heard anything from local owners yet. I guess, since u bring this up, u cld be the 1st one that actually has the amp and has seen this particular problem. |

I just wanna find out more if somebody has experienced this issue... |

The XXX4 series Marantz amps seems to be having high failure rate, not really sure if it is being hyped up or its real. |

Getting Started

so far, i have sold 6004 and 5004 and nr1501, no issue at the moment. But i haven't sold more than 10 units on marantz so can't really confirm if it's a common issue.

I am aware of this issue. Still I went ahead and bought SR6004. Because I like the sound of it.
No problem so far.
But I am weary with the fact that the unit cannot apply Audyssey when bitstreaming Dolby TrueHD and DTS-Ma.

Am surprised that this issue was not being addressed |

Is this a problem that only happen on SR6004, or other brands are also having the same problem ?? |

So meaning to say if I've already adjusted the level of the surround speakers during the Audessey setup, but when I play lossless audio, the setting will gone back to default ???? |
