    Marantz, Because Music Matters.

    Hello my fellow audio fanatics. I wanted to say hello, and admit that I have been bit by the Marantz bug and currently under self quarantine in my music room. I have no regrets myself, but can't help but feel bad for the rest of mankind. -San Marantz

    How to play air FM/AM radio stations with Pioneer SR-303 Reverb

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out if its possible to listen to air FM/AM radio stations with my Marantz 2285b, and have the digital reverb unit (a Pioneer SR-303 Reverberation Amplifier) process the signal. I've had success in having the reverb unit's lights and effects work when playing a CD...

    Hi All, I have a 2285B receiver I bought brand new..

    I had stored it away for a long time until just recently when I'm finally retired enough to get to the point on my list that I could bust it out. I hooked up the original rtr towers I bought with it and a matching pair that I just got that kick ass. I hooked up the speakers and no sound. I...

    2285B No BIAS (Driving me nuts)

    Long story short: I received a pretty chopped Marantz 2285B for Christmas. It had been worked on before in a bad manner (blew traces, weird parts, different resistor values, etc). Had to redo a lot of stuff here and there but the main amp circuit board (P700) has become a nightmare now. It had...

    Weird Marantz 2285 Issue tuner not powering up

    I got a nice Marantz 2285B and put it on the bench. It needed light bulbs, a stereo indicator lamp and a good cleaning. I was happy with the way the piece was playing and satisfied there was nothing much wrong with the unit and went ahead with putting the cover back on after replacing the lamps...

    Marantz 2285B FM Circuit Board (P100) Cover is missing ..

    Just picked up another 2285B in almost mint from the outside condition. With all original parts inside (as it appears) it does also sound very nice - don't think it will need any recapping anytime soon. However, the FM Circuit board cover is missing. This is what it should be (from my other...

    Marantz 2238B vs. 2285B - in search of a better sound ..

    Have two recapped 2238B and two recapped (black and silver) 2285B units in my collection. Played one after the other the whole day yesterday and although the 2285B's come across as very articulate and detailed the lower model 2238B's just sound fuller and more musical to my ears. It is almost as...

    Hum in the speakers ..

    Hi again, Re. 2285B, it is very nice unit (after I cleaned it a bit) till I plug in the CD player. The instant I connect that RCA cable to the auxiliary 1, or pretty much any rca port, I get the hum in the speakers, even when the volume is all the way down. I tried different outlets, made no...

    Marantz 2285B - New Output Cap Assy I recently restored the popular Marantz 2285B and decided to design a new modular output cap assy. Two current methods are the “Gut and Stuff” method and what I will call the “Capacitor Platform” method. “Gut-and-Stuff” uses the following steps: 1) Remove...

    Re: Marantz 2285B Tuner Assy -- Two Versions!

    About 9-months ago I successfully restored a Marantz 2265B. The Tuner assy P200 was the 2nd revised edition. Fortunately the service manul I got from Rick at StereoManuals.com had the new revised schematic and addendum. Now I am restoring a Marantz 2285B (euro version w/out Dolby) and the Tuner...
