Hi I have a marantz sr7001 receiver that is acting up. Once in awhile when on standby the power goes out and if I unplug it wiggle the power cord and plug back in it will power back on. Does that mean I have a bad power cord or something else. Once on everything works fine. Also it started to happen when moved it to a smaller spaced entertainment center. Im thinking the cord got bent being in a tighter space. Tia
According to the user manual for the sr77001 at
http://us.marantz.com/DocumentMaster/US/DFU_SR7001_SR8001_final_eng.pdf the back panel drawing of the sr7001 looks like this:
I see a female connector for an IEC power cable that lacks a grounding pin. AFAIK that means that a regular IEC power cable (for example found on PC's, business machines and some home appliances including heating pots) can be used. Finding a replacement locally should be reasonably inexpensive and easy. Therefore the logical troubleshooting technique is to obtain a replacement cord and see what happens.
I have built and repaired PCs literally by the thousands and occasionally the problem is the power cord, but unfortunately less frequently its the female jack on the piece of equipment.
