I would recommend this to a friend Nice receiver, sound dropout problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice receiver. I really wanted it to work out, but eArc streaming from my LG G3 TV resulted in occasional sound dropouts from my TV apps. Im not the only one to experience this, looking at AV Forums. I had to return it and upgrade my Pioneer with another Pioneer. I hope Marantz fixes this as problems with premium TVs is not going to sell.

I would recommend this to a friendMarantz Cinema 40 vs earlier comparable Marantz
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the newest Marantz Cinema 40 is incrementally better than my 7 year old Marantz 7011 it is not a jump forward in sound quality and functionality. For nearly $4000 if you have a high quality AVR from the past 10 years, continue to enjoy it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Heos app
HEOS needs help.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything is great except the HEOS app. IT is horrible. After a while streaming my Amazon Music or Pandora it starts playing excessive static and distortion in the music. If I power cycle the Receiver/App if starts working again. It sometimes just shuts off. I have to reopen the app to start it again. HEOS is not user friendly either.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendCinema 40 is junk
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t buy! I replaced a marantz sr7012 with the 40 and it is junk compared to the 7012. It wont turn off, it wont turn, it wont automatically select input. It is a waste of a lot of money. Don’t buy

Based on your description, it appears that you may be experiencing HDMI EDID (HDMI communication issues). If the receiver is connected to the same TV as SR7012, a firmware update may be required on the TV to possibly resolve the issue. To assist you further, please reach out to our Marantz support team by visiting our Marantz support page or by calling 800-654-6633. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 9 PM EST, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 6 PM EST. We look forward to helping you.
