Are there any significant 'breakthrough' features in current receivers that wouldn't be there in the 7002?   7002 SPECIFICATIONS • 110 watts (into 8 ohms) x 7 ch Amps • THX Select2 certification • All discrete “Current Feedback” amplifier stages • HDMI (V1.3a) Repeating: 4-In / 1-Out • 32bit...

I am looking for a new receiver for my updated home theater system. I am currently running my Marantz 7002 as a processor with my Krell Showcase 7 channel amp. All this talk about HDMI 2.0 has me nervous about spending a lot at this moment. Was thinking about the new Krell Foundation. I want to...

I purchased a Marantz SR7002 without the remote (RC8001SR), which is a learning remote. I was given a working RC8500 , which looks identical, but is an older RC for the SR 7500/8500. How can I get this remote to control the 7002? Will only the RC 8001 work for the SR7002? By the way, the RC1400...

Hello everyone. My marantz sr7002 took a poop on me a few days ago. Now my KEF q900's,600's and 300's are starting to feel neglected, it's time to start shopping. Rather than go with another "all in one"receiver like I've always owned, figured its time to graduate to a component system. With...

I just ordered a new LCD/LED TV (Sony KDL-55W900A) that that's 3D enabled as well as providing online content (Netflix, etc). I can't afford to spring for a new receiver that has passthrough and ARC with comparable performance to my Marantz SR 7002. So looking for the best solution to my...

 I'm running an OPPO BDP 83 through the Marantz using the 7.1 inputs.  Watching movies sounds great.  But when I want to watch TV, I have to access the OSD, turn off the 7.1 feature to have sound go through the Marantz.  I have the TV tuner sound output hooked into the analog TV inputs in the...

 I have the Oppo hooked directly into the TV and sound is sent via the 7.1 outs directly to the Marantz.  I have the Marantz set for 7.1 only.  DVDs and Blu-Rays sound great.  I believe the 7.1 setting on the Marantz essentially just lets the signal pass through and it just manages the...

I`m setting up my surround, and wondering if I should setup the front speakers as large or small. Also, wondering what to setup the cross frequency at. My speakers are as follows: Paradigm Monitor 7 L R towers Paradigm CC-370 Centre Paradigm Surrounds (dipole kind) SVS NSD10 subwoofer...

I'm looking to spend around 400 on a new receiver. I had a Denon AVR-789 that just died (i loved the way it sounded) and have been looking at new (Denon AVR-1913 and Sony STDN1030) and used receivers. I just came across a Marantz sr7002 for about the same price as the 1913 and 1030 and I am...

I have a Marantz SR7002 that is about 3.5 years old and out of warranty. I am starting to experience some speaker pops, mainly from the RR speaker. I have also had some pops and static from the LR speaker. It usually only happens a few times during the length of a movie. I had the company that...

I have my PS3 hooked up to a Marantz SR7002 receiver via hdmi. The problem I have is that the receiver always shows PCM as the input coming from the ps3 when a game is being used. I would have thought it should show Dolby Digital etc. I have already selected Bitstream on my ps3 (fat 40gb)...
