jason str Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Would have been a whole lot easier to just put a compression tester on it. Thanks, dad. I call you "dad" because that's exactly how my father talked to me, after I had done something stupid. After I fell out of a tree when I was a kid, I thought I broke my arm. My brother went running and found my dad, who immediately came out to where I was and saw me lying on the ground, writhing in pain, crying that my arm was broke. My dad took one look at me, assessed the situation, then asked me calmly; "what were you doing in the tree?" Thanks, Dad. You know how us old farts got so smart ? Because we probably made similar mistakes and learned from them so don't feel bad. I'm sure your father means well, we are after all human and do make mistakes from time to time.

darylomer12 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Was definately working last time I used it and I've never had any issues whatsoever. It had to have been dropped along the way, just weird no obvious signs of mishandling, like a dent in the box or something! Have NO problems with a refund. Sent you a message Chad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your father means well, we are after all human and do make mistakes from time to time. Dad would "Let me work on my projects until I was stumped" Go get dad, and he would help me through the 'stumped area.' Then he would go back into the house until the next time I was stumped. Process repeated. I think this helped me learn to think. I did the same with my little sister and her boyfriend. Took a while but they got the generator in the 58 chev changed in the end.

minermark Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I read up after googling this yesterday, seems ALL of the new systems have many "Chips" a little static charge and zap, work no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted August 25, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2014 The only thing that indicates possible poor handling during shipping is a couple cracks in the styrofoam. But the box wasn't dented or anything. Regardless, we are going to try a claim w/FedEx before considering a refund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Was it shipped with foam peanuts? As mentioned above static electricity can short out the chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted August 25, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nope, he used all the original packaging (ALL the original packaging), along with some added bubble wrap to fill air gaps and keep things like the microphone and remote from jostling around. Upon further inspection of the box, there is a small indentation on one of the corners - obviously not huge otherwise I would've seen it sooner.

Keep us informed as to how well this fedex claim works out, i use UPS and working with them is a *****, only had to do it once so far.

falcon20x Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Did you try to do a hard reset on the unit? Marantz has it built in on the newer units. May be this one had it too. It worked on my SR7005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted August 26, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2014 The only info I've found on a "reset" for the 8001 is the multi + speaker a/b button trick, which wouldn't work in this situation (I still tried) because in this case it's not even turning on to standby. Is there a different thing for a "hard reset"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Just looked through the manual and other than the reset you tried, the hard reset or reboot is leaving unit unplugged for at least 3 minutes so, looks like you have tried everything within reason,except: I would try using a rubber hammer while plugged in to see if you can get standby light back on. Just very gentle lovetaps to various spots. Thinking you would not do this but...to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pin point intermittent issues in modules sometimes using that method. You can wake up dead modules or put live ones to sleep. You just can't be aggressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Guess I have been using this scientific approach for awhile now. Just makes sense, like a doctor pokes you to find where it hurts. Now the doctor just pokes your wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So Chad does it have a detachable power cord? Have you tried a different one? On my marantz SR7007 the standby led comes on as soon as it is plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted August 28, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just very gentle lovetaps to various spots. I kinda did that once with my hand... Felt like the world's worst Fonz. (because it didn't work) So Chad does it have a detachable power cord? Have you tried a different one? On my marantz SR7007 the standby led comes on as soon as it is plugged in. It does have a detachable cord. Haven't tried another one yet, but as I mentioned in the OP, the standby light did come on the first time I plugged it in. Now it won't. It's quite a bummer... because I have these beautiful brand new Jamo C 809 towers sitting in my living room. Lovely to look at, but they are way too quiet right now (as in, silent). Anyway, it'll all work out one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 On page 20 of the manual, there is something about the speaker C switch and that an improper connection will drive the receiver to standby. You might check that. WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 IV HAD MORE MARANTZ RECIEVERS THAN I CAN REMEMBER. IF IT READS PROTECTION MODE THEN ITS BEEN SHORTED INTERNALLY OR MORE LIKELY EXTERNALLY USUALLY BY WAY OF SPEAKER WIRE TERMINALS NEG&POS WIRES SHORTING THE RECIEVERS POWER INTO PROTECTION MODE. REGARDLESS THIS IS AN ISSUE ONLY MARANTZ CAN FIX I CAN LET YOU KNOW WITH 100% CERTAINTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Could be a cold solder that gave loose on a board from a shipping toss. I would definately try another cord before I packed it up. Might as well go ahead and get a diagnosis from a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted August 28, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2014 holy crap. I just tried a different power cord and it powered up. That is a first for me. I'm a little in shock. So I'll just say for now...thanks! Let's hope that was the only issue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
