from cambridge soundworks Summary:
I had my Marantz SR6200 receiver for about 2 years when the output for the right front speaker simply died. Now, a year later, what's left of the system crackles, pops, and sometimes makes loud booming noises. A reputable, local electronics repair says the main processor signal board is "bad" and say their repair costs would be prohibitively expensive. I used to think one couldn't go wrong with products from Marantz, but it looks like after the cost of parts (if they can get them), labor, and shipping back and forth to Marantz's repair facility, this receiver is likely to cost nearly twice what I paid for it. I see they don't make the SR6200 anymore. Hardly surprising. A 3-year lifespan isn't what I expected from Marantz.

Review 2 of 40
Price Paid:
$800.00
from Local Retailer Summary:
Hardly needs more reviews but I will do it any way.
For the casual listener wanting an HT set-up spending more than this model may be pointless. The model is discontinued however. I have not had any quality issues and keep the 6 chanel amp well ventilated and not abused. I run with EnergyEncore speakers.
I use about 10% of the hook ups. I run a universal DVD+RW with built in tuner to it. The only input is TV/DIG3. I run the subwoofer from the preout subwoofer jack. Connection quality is very good. Running as TV enables the TV_ENABLE function to turn unit on off.
The power rating would be listed as higher if this were a made by others. More than enough for a sane person in an 16 X 12 feet room.
I run the energy encores as large speakers as recommended, and what a difference. The one complaint is low-midrange not entirely crisp, but thats a HT system. I might reconfigure through the high level inputs and turn off the subwoofer present set up.
I don't know what the fuss about the remote is. It is just OK. I think people started a mudslide for some reason. Strengths:
As said I use only with a DVD with built in cable TV tuner. Running TV with 6 channel stereo is a huge improvement of standard TV. Otherwise the unit is permanently on 5.1 ch and rarely DTS.
Using the TV_ENABLE funtion turns on/off is a plus for simplified users. I just change surround and volume (The two big knobs) Weaknesses:
I found the surround mode to jump around on occasion to modes I did not use last time.
I have dummy cables to signal the TV input to the receiver to activate auto on/off. Another dummy cable to run On Screen Display on an alternate video signal. There must be a btter way.
Clarity in Low Mid Range is very good but not excellent. May even be a set up issue in fairness.
Too feature rich for every day use for simple set up with a univeral DVD+RW with built in tuner. Similar Products Used:
Gave similar Denon model to family member.

Review 5 of 40
Price Paid:
$899.00
from Stereo Plus Summary:
I bought the Marantz sr 6200 because of the features it offers for the low price it costs. I never thought it would sound so AMAZING. It offers plenty of power, looks sleek and sexy, and does a good job with 6 channel stereo. I never thought 6 channel music would sound right but with this unit, it does. I am running it with:
-Marantz vc5200 5 disc DVD player
-Rt1000i polk audio powered towers (front)
-csi40 polk audio center channel
-rti38 polk audio rears
-cs130 polk audio rear center Strengths:
Good power, the woman of the house will like the way it looks. Hardly heats up at all. Weaknesses:
There is no digital audio for the auxilary outputs in the front for gaming purposes. Similar Products Used:
