Hello Fernando, for what you say, your team has problems in the power output stage, the sound does not come out because there is a relay that is not activated as a result of that failure
If you have technical knowledge to review it, I send you the link so you can download the service manual, but go to a specialized technical service
I hope you can solve the problem
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Fernando, por lo que cuentas, tu equipo tiene problemas en la etapa de salida de potencia, el sonido no sale porque hay un rele que no esta activado a consecuencia de esa falla
si tienes conocimientos tecnicos como para revisarlo, te envio el link para que puedas descargar el manual de servicio, sino dirigerete a u servicio tecnico especializado
Espero que puedas resolver el problema
Saludos Franco Dosil

Could be a power supply failure or a Power "On" switch failure.

Your no doubt finding the speaker safety/turn on surge protect relay NOT engaging a few seconds after turning it on-right? Check the output transistors. These are the big green and black ones screwed to the heatsink. You gain access to them by taking off the bottom cover. There's 4 per channel--2 green and 2 black. You'll probably find one or more of them shorted. If you find replacements, put them in exactly as the originals with new thermal grease/heatsink compound. Unsolder and lift the center pin (collector) on each of the four transistors of the effected channel. Power it up and check across the outside pins of each device for proper bias-about a half a volt or so on each one. If the voltage is much higher, or not there you've got other problems that will require more diagnostic/troubleshooting. Do all the lights on the front panel work-or just the tape monitor indicators? If just the tape monitors light up, check resistors RN83 and RN84 on main board under the speaker connector board-remove the speaker connector board to get at them. These are bad on mine and I've yet to replace them. I believe these to be 920 ohm 1% precision resistors....

Just another follow up, those are 10 ohm resistors not 920 like I'd thought. Marantz did some goofy things with the color bands I guess-brown black black red white-but they're 10 ohms for sure. Odd though because the other two right next to them are ten ohms as well-brown black black gold. Mine was biased a little hot, but I adjusted both channels to idle cooler and it works fine now.....

Hi HouseofBlues

The problem you are facing is the speaker protection is turning on to prevent the amplifier from damaging your speakers. It will need some service work done to it to prevent it from happening. I suggest you get it attended to sooner than later, as the problem will be caused by dry solder joints that will need to resoldered, or a semicinductor that is failing. If you are a gun with a soldering iron, you could do this yourself. Check about parts of the amp that runs hot, particularly transistors and resistors in the output stages. resolder all output transistors, and any parts that are mounted to a heatsink. Also focus on areas of the PCB that has discoloured. This is often where the problems occur.
I am more than happy to answer any other questions you may have about it, just give me a hoy :)

What is the "processor" in & Out function on the Marantz PM-68?

Some amps offer the entire signal out, to a processor, like a sub woofer. That system will shave the parts of the signal that it needs, ans passes the rest back to the amp for it to process. Your amp will not have to contend with the burden of processing the removed portion of the signal. Supposed to be more efficient and "truer".

Marantz PM-66 SE: Power light comes on, but the amp does not work

try taking a flashlight and look through cover into unit for a blown fuse or take cover off (which is better) if taking cover off unplug unit. If a fuse is blown remove it and take to a store like Radio Shack for proper fuse watt and amp..if fuses are ok i would get it fixed...sounds like a minor problem since main power is there. GL

I am thinking of replacing my now very old JVC AX 330 amplifier with a Marantz PM7003 amplifier and want to know if this is a suitable replacement in terms of power output etc.

You, sir, are a rare adherent to stereo-only electronics. Are you replacing it for cause (showing its age)? The PM7003 is only 2 x 70 watts like the JVC but it also has separable preamp/amps so you COULD upgrade or augment the power output with external amps and still control it all locally.

Of course, any current AVR's do that too and bring digital sources and multichannel audio to the mix for as little as the PM7703 may cost.

Can I replace the stock power cord on my Marantz PM-11S1 integrated amp. with a new high end power cord ?

Hi Nancy,
Yes you can replace the power cord if it is already defective(open internal wire). You may buy on your local electronics store. But if the power cord is in good condition, there's no reason to replace.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

Sound from left channel is small and distorted.

The distortion might be caused by a resistor. The loss of volume could be the capacitors, but you could try injecting signals into the transistors to see if any has gone. They can cause the distortion and loss of signal. If you apply a soldering iron to any part it will heat up quicker, or you could also use a hairdryer for the whole thing. You can also get a freeze spray that cools things that have heat sensitive faults (available from electronic parts shops).

No audio output - Marantz 2238

This can be as simple as a poor connection somwhere in the voltage regulator circuit or a defective driver transistor or output transistor. In any case, this is a simple repair for any shop that works on vintage receivers. If it is the outputs, that will be the most expensive repair from a parts perspective. The outputs will cost in the $5-$10 range for each one and it could be 2-4 pieces. If you wish to attempt this repair yourself, you will need a multimeter that has a diode checker. Let me know and I'll provide additional details and instructions.

Marantz pm 7200 integ.amplifier

Dear Sushant,    I do not think your use of an equalizer has caused any problems.  I will explain the proper use of the source/direct button.  This button's function is to monitor the output of a recorder connected to the record outputs of your amp.  When this button is pressed on the sound going to the speakers comes direct from the "source" (cd, radio tuner, phonograph etc.) when in the off position you can monitor the recording of whatever source is being recorded via the tape deck.  This switch must be off to record through the amps record outputs.    To test this, put a blank tape in the tape deck, choose the source as phono and place the dec in record/pause.  With the source direct button pressed on you should hear a change in volume when moving the amp's volume knob only.  When source direct is off you will be able to hear the output of the tape deck, so adjusting the tape deck's record level will also affect the volume coming out of the speakers.  more record level in/ more level out.!    Below is copied from page 9 of your user operation manual for Marantz's explanation of the source/direct button.  image.tiff
best of wishes, Michael Mittelsdorf

Vintage Stereo Connection ???

Hi spanky

Where to start :) I am excited thinking about them :p You got 2 totally cool pieces of classic vintage gear there in the C2 and the Marantz. I have a C2 preamp myself (gathering dust but wont sell it cos its excellent) and the marantz would be totally cool to have(but then I am a little biased towards 70's vintage marantz). They ruled the roost in HiFi amps throughout that decade.

Because they are both integrated amps, you could use them as standalone systems with a pair of speakers, and just plug your favourite gear into them. If you just wanted to run up a nice sounding HiFi, I would sell the kenwood gear and just keep the Marantz. The Kenwood kr1100 has the edge in power, so if it is grunt you are looking for use that. Because vintage sound is all about stereo, you only really need an integrated amp to get great results.

the specs are
# Kenwood Model Eleven G (KR-11000G) Receiver
120W per channel min RMS, both channels driven, at 8 ohms from 20 to 20.000 Hz with no more than 0.03% total harmonic distortion.
Dynamic power output 440W at 4 ohms
Power bandwidth 5 Hz to 70.000 HZ
Frequency response 5 Hz to 100.000 HZ -1.5dB
Signal to noise ratio 115dB

The marantz is a little lower in power at 75rms a channel, but will have the sonic edge in vintage sound over the kr1100. Look them up on ebay and you will find that they do have some value to collectors and people seeking nice tone. There is an 1152 for sale here for AU$900

Best bet is to fire up the 2 integrated amps,and see how they are going. Run them for several hours to be sure there is no strange noises and crackles. Then decide if you want power or finesse.

You could also run both amps from the C2 preamp by connecting to the Amp in connections to the rear of the integrated amps.

happy to talk to you more about it, hit me with a Fixya if my advice was helpful to you. I would keep the marantz, use that and sell the rest and buy some nice speakers:)
