Somewhere in your speaker wiring, you have a shorted wire. This short can be as simple as a single strand of wire touching the other terminal on one of the speakers.

With a bright flashlight, look carefully at the back of the receiver and then the speakers for any loose strands.

Most likely a cold solder joint somewhere in the audio circuit. Most likely on the legs of the relay that turns the speakers on or off. Also check the connections at the audio outputs. Give it a good look over for bad solder connections, given the symptoms that's 98% likely to be the problem.

Model RC63CD is available for $58

http://remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=gmi&smodel=CD63SE&brand_pn=MARANTZ_CD63SE&mode=large&uuid=A12997911098241

or you could lurk around eBay and search for "CD63 remote" or "RC63CD remote" and maybe one will become available cheaper.

Can't help on the manual but from the pix I've seen its a vanilla CD player with all possible outputs - analog, coaxial digital and optical digital. Nothing unique or complex about it that would need explanation.

Try any CD manual and it would probably make you fluent in Marantz CD83-ese.

SOURCE: Hi I have a marantz

I just bought one today for 25 quid with no remote and found that the volume control on my cheap multi remote works from default setting, it's the same as my arcam amp. Philips cd remotes might work too I found one in a cash converters for a quid with a volume control.

When I switch on my Sony STR-DB940 no sound comes before several minutes. Any idea what the problem would be?

Hi, Does it eventually power up? Check all your component (ie: CD Player, Tape etc) connections and especially the connections to the speakers. If you have any loose strands of wire touching the case it will cause problems.

I have a sony str-db940, since it came back from being repaired, it reports 'not in use' when the 'sur' button is pressed and won't decode surround sound. Any ideas?

Check if you're using the digital cables like optical cable to get the audio from the receiver. If yes, please select the Input mode to AUTO by pressing the mode button repeatedly. If you're using a analog cables, please try to change the sound field and check. Press the A.F.D button repeatedly to change the sound field and try. You can also try connecting a different audio source like Cable box, dvd player and check the issue.
If the issue persists, please reset the receiver. To reset the Receiver, turn OFF the unit and press n hold the MODE + button and Power button till S.F Initialize appears. If the issue still persists, you may be having 90 days warranty after the date of repair or original warranty which ever is longer. Contact sony to resolve the issue.

Sony STR-DB940 has no output

There are several things that can be the cause of this. One of them is the use of a super capacitor (think battery) that saves settings in the memory. When this fails the unit wont start.
