I have a Marantz sr5200/u1b AV 6.1 receiver that is making a static/crackling noise out of the front right channel. It goes away when source direct is engaged in analog mode, but it's always there in digital mode whether source direct is engaged or not. Also, the noise is absent when the 7 channel direct inputs are used. All the fuses, and caps on the main board and input board are within their rated spec. I've read that most receivers run an A-D-D-A configuration, so I'm thinking this has something to do with the DSP function? Can somebody point me in the right direction? Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Marantz sr5200/u1b static noise DSP?
I bought a USB oscilloscope, but when I compared signwave of the right vs. left channel, I can't see any difference between the two, even though I can audibly hear the difference. Is there a way I can use the scope to isolate the static? Or is there another way I can trace the static? Anybody?

Hi,
I bought a used Marantz SR5007 and it's giving me some issues that I can't seem to really place. It functions well in most settings, ARC mostly works, it has no issues driving my speakers in any of the digital input modes, but I'm having issues running analog inputs in direct or pure direct mode. For some reason in this mode there's distortion for every volume increment I give it, but once the volume is stable it has no issues. Muting creates a loud pop, switching to another source also causes a pop and so does turning off the amp in that mode. Again, no issue in the digital modes.... -
Hi all,
I am working on a sound processor, it tends to overheat so I fitted a fan inside. The fan is connected to the +15V of the PSU via a DC-DC converter based on the LM2596 to reduce the voltage to around 10.5V.
Unfortunately the analogue circuitry is picking up the noise from the fan in two ways:
1. The fan is close to the analogue section, the motor itself gets into the outputs so I'll have to move it somewhere else
2. Even with the fan running outside of the case, there is still some noise which is clearly going back to the processor via power line.... -
Surprisingly enough, this receiver doesn't have the DSP chip issue. The HDMI board does not get hot, and sound over HDMI works fine.
Regardless of the input, the right channel has noise that is clearly noticeable even on average volume level. The only cases when there's no noise is when VCR input is selected (some tracks on the board are damaged, maybe that's why), or if HDMI input is selected but nothing plugged into it. In all other cases, even when no input is connected I still have the noise.
There's some logic behind it. As soon as I select an input I get only left...04-23-2025, 10:09 PM -
I'm looking at a vented C513 in a Marantz SR5400 (photo included), in the FR section on page 24 in the service manual (https://audiocircuit.dk/downloads/ma...400-avr-sm.pdf).
R533 right below it in the photo is charred, but measures the correct value.
1. I'm not familiar with amplifier circuits (at all — don't know the difference between classes, etc.) so I was wondering what problems would manifest from a supposedly non-operational C513? I didn't hear anything odd when testing the output channel with a speaker. Is there a simple test that can be done...10-21-2025, 09:02 AM -
First off I would like to thank this community as it has provided me with great information that has helped me greatly on my repair for this Marantz SR5012 AV receiver. I am creating this new thread as the other 2 that I have created here has had their original question/problem solved and I plan that this is the final thread on my repair. Please note that this is my first time repairing audio amplifiers so I may not be aware of common issues and things to know.
Lets start at what I have done so far. Random speaker popping on all channels is fixed by replacing the 2 large filter...
