RossVTaylor Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 Hey Boa, Sorry the screw-in-the-pin thing didn't work. If it's solid, then it may require "surgery." Wish I could have helped.

boa12 Posted May 13, 2001 Author Share Posted May 13, 2001 yea rvt i did have to end up halling the 100+ lb beast into the shop. only that the service tech hooked up the power lines inside wrong or something when putting it back together. only charged me $30 but now they have to come & get it again & no power up. will give me a loaner though on monday - probably a ksw. thanks for the helpful attempt. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver(stereo power amp for rf-3) Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

boa12 Posted May 25, 2001 Author Share Posted May 25, 2001 Marantz Journey Update: well, still waiting on the Vel HGS to be fixed, but did find the answers to my last questions. - did finally find a (toll) phone number for marantz america by doing an internet search for superscope. - did get the remote to actually learn the jog dial commands from my sony dvdp remote. now have every single command from all 6 of my other remotes on the marantz remote. that remote is simply amazing. & i've had to change the batteries only once got a big supply of AAs from rat shack today. - just may get a marantz dvdp & move the current sony back w/ it's soul mate receiver in the listenin lounge. - marantz tech said to not even bother w/ the tv auto on/off function. says it doesn't work too well (& I agree!) - even got a sound meter at rat shack & calibrated the 4 big speaks to +6 & center +9. leaving sub at +0 for now as i only have a vel fsx-12 loaner. - seems to sound best for everything w/ sub hooked to sub preout w/ fronts & center set small & cornwall rears set to large. should sound even better when the vel hgs-18 returns. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

BLOOMIS914 Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 BOA12- Thanks for updating us all......It sounds like you've made a lot of progress with the Marantz and that awesome remote. Is your SR8000 as quiet as mine with the KLF-30's and C7... I can't hear anything out of my speakers between tracks or at idle with volume up. Are you still thinking of going back to the Denon 3801??? I didn't think so. I programmed all of my components into the Marantz remote and I even use 2 of the 4 Macro's to impress the chicks (Wife and daughter). Welcome to Marantz believer club. ------------------ My main Klipsch system: KLF-30's Bi-wired KLF-C7 KSP-S6's KSW-15 Front Sub KSW-100 Rear Sub Monster cable 14 gauge in-wall cable Niles wall plates Marantz SR-8000 Toshiba SD-4205 5 DVD changer Pioneer PDF-1007 301-CD changer Mitsubishi 35" Mitsubishi VCR Pioneer VSX-608 Multi-room amp for Outdoor deck Polk All-weather AW2's deck speakers Niles in-wall volume controls Fridge full of beer and plenty of Don Julio, Jagermeister and Jim Beam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted May 28, 2001 Author Share Posted May 28, 2001 hey thanks again bloomis! but do be careful w/ that Jager my chick is even using the macro to turn on evrything at once. after that well it's still a learning process. definitely sold on the 8000 & quite content (for now) in my lil 5.1 realm. very silent unit. should be just a lil fine tuning when the vel comes home. not only see the light but starting to enjoy the warmth ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!
