Yet to use only an year but its a very good old model and very suonding even with low powered speakers,and no speaker burning at all VERY NICE

No spares were i came from i have no remote and cant be found

Very reliable I've used mine everyday for twenty years. Extremely well built weighs over 25 lbs. Quality pure sound. Works well as a home theatre. Outstanding tuner.

Not digital no HDMI hookups. No phono input

Very clean sound, decent power, nice controls layout.

Lack of digital inputs, but I don't need them anyway.

I was shopping for Paradigm Monitor 7's and happend to notice this receiver. I asked them to plug it in and test it with the 7's. The sound quality was very close to the $1500 Denon receiver they had hooked up before. Excellent for stereo and music but only has Pro-Logic, no digital.

This is a very clean receiver, with plenty of power for high-efficiency speakers (I use Infinity SM-112s). There are ample hookups, and the lack of DD does not disappoint me much, as I mostly use the surround for VHS. Very good receiver for the money. I like the Marantz name, even though owned by Philips. It's like buying a Caddy vs. a Cavalier.
