The Official Marantz SR7005 Receiver Page!! - Page 53

Well, Jds, I feel like a fool, I did not see the the pure direct button from the position I was on the floor, so now I understand, as the tech at Marantz worked through resetting the micro chip, not the processor. Unfortunately, this revealed a bad chip and will have to replace the unit, well darn!!!

Regardless, will have to return it for a new unit.

Sorry, Cafiene as you may be in the same boat hopefully not and yours can be reset!!!

FHJ, you will love the marantz, particularly for 2 channel "Pure Direct" or for 2.1.

Do you know how he saw the prob with the chip?
I hope you'll get the new unit soon! Thx for the moral support.

Same process as the microprocessor reset, but, with the.....

on/off button in standby....

holding the "pure direct buttom down' on the front at the same time the "up" arrow button down......

then push the standy hold all three until the screen starts flashing. Should reset the chip, but I did the action 3 times while Greg, the Marantz tech was on the phone, with no results, said bad chip, need to send a new Receiver.

If it resets, then you are ok, unless, of course, you have already done this.

jds was right!!!

I had the same loop problem when updating the firmware the first time.... Got around it by unplugging the wan cable on the router and plugging it straight into the SR7005, literally bypassing the router. The SR7005 was set to DHCP and got an ip address automatically. The firmware download worked without problems after that. Guess some routers have an aggressive firewall or some special ports might not be enabled preventing the SR7005 from seeing / handshaking with the Marantz servers hosting the firmware...

Thanks for the input. Did you unplugged from the wireless router directly into the modem?

I wanted to try that, but I read in the manual that that was not a good idea could damage the unit.

In the area of downloads particularly AirPlay, the tech said something to do with rural areas and internet providers. I did, however, have great results with the regular download when the unit was turned on.

Wasn't sure about the AirPlay yet until I got use to the unit, but when I discovered it was a free upload, i went for it.

Regardless, we tried to reset the chip, which would allow the upgrade to AirPlay, but after several times the "screen flashing" did not occur, which in his opinion the chip was bad, need to return it. This of course using the puredirect mode button and the up arrow button.

When I get the new unit, I will call for more assistance as not to create more issues.

Yes, connected the SR7005 directly to the modem... I only read on p24 of the manual not to connect the SR7005 directly to the network or LAN / ethernet connection of a PC.

Perhaps you are confusing the connection to the PC as smaragd suggests, as Marantz actually recommends a direct "wired" connection to the modem or router vs. using a "wireless" bridge.

Ok, understand, thanks!

Hope I don't need to do this, but who knows with the new one.

When it's just an issue with firmware updates and not normal internet radio or audio WiFi streaming, some owners have opted to purchase a 100' or 500' ethernet cable to just use for firmware updates when the modem/router can be reached using a longer length cable.

Yep, I always use that, I have cat5e installed under the house, that is all I use except with the Oppo and the wireless seems to work well, so far.

My Marantz sr7005 should be in my hand's tomorrow i tracked it and it's in my home town i will get it hooked up and i might make a youtube video about the receiver so look out for it my youtube name is the same as u see it on this fourm .

Congrats, Joseph!!! Good luck on the downloads. I think I will do the new one differently this time. Hopefully I will have better luck. This is a great amp. Had to hook back up the Onkyo and already miss the Marantz. Onkyo is great for theater, though.

Currently running a sr6006 to (4) klipsch kg5.5s and a km-c center with (2) klipsch rw-12d subs on lfe+main

I just ordered a 7005 that should be in tomorrow and will be returning the 6006 on the advice of the man in the magnolia room. The concern is the sub handling. My issue is the kg5.5s are efficient and run dual 10s in each cabinet. The Audyssey is treating them as the large speakers they are and kills the lfe. so to get lfe to work i have to switch them all to small then turn down the cross over to its lowest settings to get as much full range as possible, but they still end up short on the bottom end.

I have 2 more rw-12ds on the way UPS and plan on switching the LFE+main off and just running LFE to 2 subs and then adding the other 2 on the front L/R main pre outs.

Does the 7005 offer a true 7.2? or is it just a split 7.1 like the 6006?

Will the 7005 allow me to run the subs LFE and still treat the rest of the setup as large? I plan on buying more KG5.5s so the front stage will have them 5 wide with a sub in between. (Left wide, Left main sub, Left main, LFE, Center, LFE, Right main, Right main sub, Right wide)

should i position the LFE's elsewhere?

If this receiver isn't going to work someone let me know.

funny thing i sold my onkyo yesterday i like onkyo there w onderful for sound that is ture but i fell marantz is just were it will be for me from now on idk we will have to wait and see.still onkyo has be wonderful to me the only thing i dont liek about them is there always so slow when picking there phones up .lol othere then that that really all.marantz has wonderful phone servise.

This is a topic for an entirely different thread.....you can always do the "put the subs in the primary seating position and crawl around on the floor to where they sound the best, then put them there" method

The 7005 and 6006 will both work the same way in this respect as the 7005 simply has an internal "Y" splitter to the dual sub pre-outs. They also both use the same version of Audyssey. With Audyssey MultEQ XT, it's recommended to run all speakers as SMALL with 60hz or 80hz crossovers (regardless of their capability) as there are 8x more Audyssey sub filters than speaker filters.

got some picture's of mysetup also got the marantz SR7005 in today ,this receiver is such a monster it can take anything u throw at it .the sound is top sound the best receiver i ever had in my life.The speakers are klipsch's Refence line the RF-62 II L/R and the center is the RC-62 II,the sub is the SW-112 wonderful sub ,the back's are RS-52 II at the moment i dont have a picture for the backs will upload some more new picture tomorrow .

Looks great Joseph, glad you are in love!!!!

Not surprised!! LOL

lol i love this receiver i am watching the dark knight and the sound is fantastic the only thing is the subwoffer if not as bassey as it was on the onkyo like the bass is more of a hybrid sound when there is bass it feels nice but i just feel the bass can be more idk boom but not in the face boom how can i fix that lol

Joseph, glad you are having a good time, waiting to get tracking on my new one, but can't seem to find out, however they said waiting to hear from the warehouse.

Heck, it may be shipped, dunno! know one thing sure do miss it, even for the short period I had it.

Have you ran audyssey yet, using an easel, of course? Might improve on bass.

Or just turn up the sub channel some dB and see if you like it better.

You aren't running your front Klipsch speakers as "large" by any chance, are you?

no not at all there running as small all the way lol why u ask .

He asked because more of the bass notes could be going to the fronts that should be going to the sub.

i used the audyssey yes,and it shound wonderful on movie's Music how ever it does sound wonderful but i get no bass bass like in movies i just get clear wondrful sound from the speaker's.oh the reason why i had not bass bass when watching movie's is because i just had the bass set to LFE i needed to put on LFE-MAIN so the bass does all the workand not just the speakers ,and boy let me tell u when i poped in the dark knight and i when to the part in the film when the joker is blowing up the police car and then batman filp's that truck THAT SOUND WAS CRAZY!!!!! GOOODi fetl like i was in the IMAX theater lol

^^
If your front mains are set to SMALL as you indicate, the sub setting of LFE and LFE+Main produce the same results (ie. only when set to LARGE does LFE+Main have any effect).

IT SOUNDS' DIFFERENT TO ME RIGHT NOW I HAVE LFE+MAIN and the bass sounds better then it did before and the speakers are set to small and it still sound's wonderful so idk about that.thnak u for the info tho i will look into it more

yelling will not change things...

you must have changed something else as well, because what jd said is true...

since you are new-ish here, i'll cut you a small break... but be aware that jd is one of the leading knowledge sources here...

Well ... as long as it sounds better to you then that's what's important.

Well JD, I am getting the new 7005 tomorrow and I am uneasy about updating ....any suggestions? Buying a new cat5 proved the old one work great.

So, I suppose connecting directly to the modem is the best choice?

Thanks!
