So I hooked my Ethernet up and turned the AV on and pushed the menu botton as the tech told me to and nothing happended??? The tech stated that it would be displayed, and that i could go into the Manual set-up, then option set-up. I couldnt ever get the Av to display this or the remote. Can somebody help me on this one?
Thanx

You might also try a master reset before sending it in, just for yucks.

I am going to do a master reset tomorrow. It started locking up tonight while I was writing down my settings in the menu. Then I kept watch TV for about 10 mins and it started working again(I had it in SAT before entering menu)

If that doesn't correct the problem, I might try a different remote before sending it in.

You can't. It doesn't seem to be published anywhere.

To check which firmware you have, you connect to the web and check for up-dates. It will tell you if an up-date is available. If there is new firmware available, Marantz doesn't tell you what has been changed.

I thought you sold yours?

So this must be done while contacted to some kind of monitor. My problem is that i dont have a land line at the house, all I have is wireless. The tech yesterday told me that i could do this without hooking it up, which i find to be false

Please clarify. Is your wireless for a laptop and if so you can plug into the wireless router.

I've had my AV7005 for about 3 weeks now and am still on the steep part of the learning curve due to limited time. (taking an EMT course so free time is at a premium). When I first powered it on (hard wired to my router) It informed me that there was a firmware upgrade available. I then selected the option to install it.

Yes wireless to my laptop, tech support also told me NOT to plug into a wireless router. I have no idea why??

Sure you can update without a screen connected and you can also do it via wireless lan. Just navigate your way through the menus.

Due to poor reception in my concrete basement my AV7005 is connected to a Bufallo wireless client which connects to a wireless repeater which then connects to my wireless router.

Done 3 updates this way. No problems so far. Also worked for 3 years with my Denon 3808a without any glitch.

Nevermind; it's updating right now, I got so excited that I didn't even bother to open the front panel to look at the lcd screen to navigate myself thru for updates. All is good

FYI: My Middle Atlantic rackshelf for the AV8003 did nto fit the AV7005. The feet on the AV8003 hod it up about 1/8"+ higher so the units body can't stick through the hole . No way evident to adjust that or make it work. If anyone else did, let me know, please.

Edit: called MA. They verified it is a different part. Ordered a replacement faceplate only.

Have you been able to compare the sound quality of the 7005 to the 8003?

Not really. Just swapped them last night. Haven't had time to even reprogram my control system. Be a while.

There is a rack mount kit for the AV7005 or the 8003

P/N Marantz RMK8003AV

I have one on order with the AV7005 coming from AV Science.

yup... want to see who comes out with what and let it hit the street and get sorted out... there's a grand total of zero "new for 2011" features that have usefulness to me (or that i lust for, regardless of usefulness, ftm )...

so while i have wandering eyes right now, i don't think there's anything arriving in the near future...

my object of affection right now is a xt32 avr/pre-pro or a as-eq1... and i can wait on that to see what develops...

Sorry Scott, I may have given you bad information in an earlier post. I looked at mine again. Middle Atlantic sent me a faceplate marked SR7005 for the AV7005. I believe I told you the AV8003 fit.

Just finished hooking the Av7005 up, it's amazing! A little confusing at first, I still don't know if I manually programed everything correctly but it sure does sound nice! Alot of features that my HK didn't have.
