Your Sky box might need a firmware refresh. Switch it off at the mains socket. Press and hold down the BACKUP key on the SKY BOX (not the remote). Switch on at the mains and keep the backup key pressed down until the TV shows an info screen that the box is updating.

Allow the box to complete the cycle.

Try your system again.

SOURCE: marantz sr5001 has pcm light flashing

I suppose pcm light means that the pcm mode is turned on (pcm meaning pulse code modulation), in other words, the unit was switched to digital signal, so if the digital rca or optical TV input on your reciever is not connected to anything, then you're not getting any signal into the reciever in digital mode. You probably just need to switch the unit back to analog mode (see if there is a button that says something like digital/analog, pcm/analog, optical/coax or similar, try pressing it, see if there is any change).

I might just be totally wrong on this, however, probably the best way to learn what happened is to read the user manual if you do have it (see what the pcm light signals for and check any chapters inside the manual related to that topic).

good luck

SOURCE: Connected my cable box to

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in getting audio from the connected Cable Box. I suggest that you try changing the sound field on the Receiver and change the output audio settings on the Cable Box to resolve the issue.

If the issue persists, connect a different HDMI device and check the operation.

Please get back to me with the exact model # of the Marantz Receiver so that I can provided more specific instructions.

Thanks for understanding.

Try upgrading your firmware and do a reset on the receiver. If this does not help your problem, then you might have an HDMI issue or a bad DSP chip.

Why dose my lg lcd tv keeps disconnecting from sky box

Loose cable, or getting a signal from another input, or picking up an infrared signal that clashing. These are just a few answers, and they don't exclude either a TV or a Sky box fault.

Try switching off the Simplink features on the TV and see if that helps.

Watch your SKY channels on a second TV with Magic Eye and remote

If you have Sky Multi-room this will feed a separate SKY signal from your LNB on your dish to a second SKY box if you have the basic this will not cost you anything you still need a card inserted in the front to make this work. I think it costs £5 extra for more channels.

So if you have SKY + you will have 3 coaxial cables coming out of your LNB. ( 2 for the SKY + and 1 for the Multiroom )

To ger the signal for free the easy way is to connect a coaxial cable from the RF2 output on the back of the SKY ot SKY+ box into another TV and use a SKY Magic Eye these cost about £5 and have a range of about 20 meters. You can use a coaxial splitter to feed two TV but you will loose more signal the more you connect.

You will need to turn this function on using the hidden menu to allow you to use the Sky Remote control then LED on the unit will show you that there is a signal.

Press <SERVICES> <4> <0> <1> <SELECT> and goto the RF2 output to turn the signal on you might find that this signal is already turned ON for you.

Note: If you are using a multiplex faceplate unit this signal will not work as it relies on continuity of the coaxial cable with a 12V DC signal being sent out of the back of the SKY Box.

For all setups changing you Box model or adding an extra box SKY must to this for you by having your phone line connected so they can reprogram your Smart Card.

I bought a second hand marantz receiver. my problem is when i push the cd button the display read like this: CD/DIG2/STEREO/NO DATA and the it will go back by it self to CD/DIG. what should i do? please...

the receiver is ok. it is telling you that CD is assigned to digital #2 input, surround mode is stereo and there is no input signal. You need to connect a source to digital2 input (coaxial or optical) and you'll get sound from it.

Hi, I have recently purchased an SR7005 which is connected to an HD PVR via Audioquest Cinammon HDMI cable. While watching programs, I lose audio immediately after an advertisement break. If I pause...

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.

My marantz DV 9500 doesnt output digital signal for audio cd anymore but outputs audio for dvd,sacd,dvd audio. Does it need servicing

Make sure your playing componet like CD player have a digital output socket. Connect this to a digital port on the amp witk a single RCA or Optical cable if output available on CD. Make sure the digital assingment in amp is set for cd function and corresponding input(example cd plyer connected on dig 4 input on amp, press menu, setup, assignment, go to cd player, make sure setting on dig 4 or change input to dig 4, go to next component to memorise setting.and exit, see manual to assist you) if still no sound take dvd cable for instance that is working and put that in dig 4 port. if that works check in cd player that settings spdif/raw/pcm is correct one for yor digital output if still no sound soun pc board faulty.
