Audio glitch on Marantz SR-19

Audio clipping in and out on marantz sr19 and making a clicking sound. Is this a heat related problem?

cjakHD,
thanks so much for bringing up speakers.
a 20 lb maine coon cat recently climbed of the back of the AV rack and pulled some speaker wires. I had reconnected them incorrectly.
Now all is well.

It's probably not heat due to the Marantz' large frame and heat-synchs.
This could simply be a mismatch of impedance. The amp is 120w per channel, so make sure the speakers can handle this. Check the impedance (ohms) of the speakers and the amp as well. Clipping can be caused by overpowering the speakers, which could damage the speakers in the long-run.
If this is only from 1 source- (i.e.- Blu-ray player or cable) then it could be digital clipping.. This Marantz can decode 96kHz PCM or normal Dolby Digital & DTS. If this is a Blu-ray it may be streaming 192kHz PCM... (but most likely the Marantz will not even attempt to play that audio)
I hope this helps.

Pcmcia is flashing and no sound out of our receiver

Check page 31 of the manual regarding PCM versus theDTS settings. Choose AUTO surround mode and that might do the trick. Page 29

If the source is external, make sure it is sedning the desired digital audio format - PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.

Just picked up a Marantz SR-19, Everything looks like it works but I get No sound out of it. Unfortunately, there is NO remote and was wondering if there is a setting like Mute or a speaker select on the...

A Mute indicator would tell you if it was muted. Make sure no Tape or Multichannel Input are selected by mistake.

There are supposed to be jumpers across the Pre_Outs to Main In's in the back when you're NOT using external amps. You could substitute short RCA cables.

I want to connect my bravia lcd to my marantz sr770 i can only get two chanel sound from my two front spearker i cant get the surround working

Let's break this into little pieces. Disregarding the TV, does the Marantz otherwise provide multichannel sound?

How is the TV-related audio getting into the Marantz? Analog RCA yields only 2-channel audio.

Two front speakers are only capable of two channel sound.

What would work better for Marantz SR 4200 Apple Composite or component cable? In order to play music through the amp as well as watching videos

Component Video is a big step up the food chain in quality. Component Video inputs are for video only, not for audio. I don't see Component Video inputs on the Marantz SR-4200; only Composite and S-Video. S-video would be a step up from Composite and it carries analog stereo sound.

You don't give any clues as to the source's audio capabilities.

Digital Audio of either flavor is preferable. Grab the best possible TV-related audio from your Cable/Satellite box to the Marantz and run a pair of RCA audio cables to your TV just in case you want to watch the weather channel without hi-fi sound.
