Marantz 2265B Owner in need of an education on the Basics:

[cdubyah1]

Hello,

I am looking for an education. Looking for Marantz tips, tricks, and basic maintenance knowledge. I would love to hear advice on what to read, which website to search, anything I need to do to get more information on pampering my Marantz. Honestly, I don't know much more than setting up my receiver to my speakers and plugging it in. Right now I might have a bad right channel. It sounds staticky and the volume output is much lower that left channel (which sounds normal). Outside of cleaning my speaker input terminals I got nothing.

Thank you very much for any advice knowledge you can send my way!

See my baby below... I got this for $5 at a garage sale about 10 years ago. The wife was selling stuff and the husband didn't want to have anything to do with it. I saw this jewel in the corner of the garage and knew the wife would probably give it away but she yelled inside to hubby, "How much you want for your old receiver...?" He said, "five bucks". I said "Sold!" Took it to George Meyers in Los Angeles. When I went back to pick it up he benched tested for me and the sound just blew my away. Had to pay for tune up though...about $400.

So long as they checked the caps and measured well on the bench you are good to go! What speakers did you and CD and or turntable players did you also buy for $5

Well if they checked it, and it is okay then both channels should behave the same. What you describe is not normal. It's easier to fix things when they start to fail, then after they do.
