Little doubt about Marantz 2250B

[JCTroncoso]

Hi there!

Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.

As the title of the post, I have a little doubt. I recently acquired a Marantz 2250B (European version with possibility of changing voltage to 22Ov). This unit did not have the bridges from pre to main. I saw a series of videos (3) on YouTube of a guy repairing and recapping a 2250B and it did have the two bridges (the american model). Apparently my unit is working without them and when I put the tone mode to "in" it works and I can control the bass, mid and treble while when I put it "out" the sound is flat. Is it ok?

Thank you in advance for your info and comments.

Best regards,

Juan Carlos Troncoso

That is indeed the way the tone mode switch works. OUT - bass, mid, treble are out of circuit. IN - tone controls work normally. If you are not already a member, you might join hifiengine.com. They have a free user manual (as well as service manual) for that unit.

Thank you Steven. I was intrigued. I will follow your advise and will download the manual.

the main in and pre out are internally switched just put a jack in them if you ever want to use them. i think most of the models with the slider balance control are that way. the older models with a balance knob need the removable jumper. congratulations on getting your marantz.
