Marantz SR5200 - front speakers not working unless direct

My Marantz SR5200 has decided not to put signal through the front speakers unless the signal path is switched to direct. In any other mode, including 6 channel stereo or DTS, I only get a signal in the centre speaker, sub and 2 rears. I've tried the test tones and same applies... nothing in front L & R. Even the on board tuner only does the same, so its definetly internal. Is there any way to do a complete reset of the SR5200 or does it need to go to a techy for a service?

Obviously my 20 second power out didn't help but the suggested 24 hrs seems to have done the job. Thanks heaps!

Anybody solved this problem? I have the same problem. Suddenly a very loud "pop" is hear from the speakers and center speaker is gone out. No voice is been hear, only music. In front-center speaker a noise is hear (in a very low level).

I think it must be because Digital to Analog converter is working very bad.

Any help?

Many thanks

If you try and unplug it at least 12 to 24 hours and it does the same thing, then its time to take it in to the shop.

Hello, I have a SR5200 and am experiencing a very similar problem. Usually the system works fine, but every so often the front channels cut out and in stereo mode all I hear is base from the subwoofer. Sometimes the front channels return if I power the unit off and on - but sometimes they'll only return for a few minutes before cutting out again - sometimes they don't return. Sometimes the front channels cut out for a few seconds then come back themselves! Strange... Has anyone had this problem repaired? Any ideas what it could be? Thanks, Danny Blair
