Brown screen I paused a show I was watching and when I returned to the TV the screen was brown. The cable is working just fine along with sound. The picture is just gone and replaced with a brown rectangle covering the majority of the screen. Please help.

That is called lag. it often happens on Bluetooth, satellite or Internet based television where the internet isn't fast enough for the quality of the broadcast. Often, you can fix this if you have a Pause feature. Pause for 5 minutes.

would think you need to replace the cable board etc. the signal is not getting in and out right. can also be a fault on the power board giving the wrong volts so would check this to. it will tell you on the board what volts is supposed to be. the 5v and 12v should be spot on other volts will vary a little. also check the capacitors for the caps to be bowed up and a brown/ yellow gunk around them and under the board this can be a sign they are failing.

If you are watching adverts that implies a broadcast TV sound signal. What happens is that the broadcaster will switch off sound especially Dolby signals during add breaks. Therefore it could be your TV that stops sending the sound to the Marantz. So check the sound settings of you TV. It might have an auto feature that detects the signals, that could be switched to manual or just a wrong sound signal that causes the problem.

sounds like its simply just your tv's auto screen saver or another program along those lines its helps prevent burn in and other issues caused by leaving your tv with still images ok :) dont fret

Hi. Definitely call your cable provider. They will reestablish the signal to you. There is nothing you can do yourself. J.

You might want to consider if this is a Cable box/TIVO issue before blaming the receiver. After all, if you can pause and rewind live TV you're probably watching all content through the hard drive.

Or suspect a marginal connection from the TIVO to the receiver if that is what you have. Does the receiver give any indication of digital signal loss when you lose audio?

I skip some of this exposure by running the video staright to the TV (the more interconnects, the more opportunities for problems).

Unplug the tv power and check the input sources on the set. If that doesn't work check your cables.

Replace vertical ic and caps.

adjust your screen at the back of tv flyback down you see the fucos and screen adjust the sreen ok
