I hope someone can help me. This is a simple question ... and if I had a manual, then I wouldn't have to ask. I just bought a Marantz SR6200 as an upgrade to my Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX for my home theatre system. I wanted to go from 5.1 to 6.1, and I wanted the on-board Circle Surround decoder.The unit is great, but I don't have a manual, and I am sure that I am missing a lot of stuff. The most urgent thing that I need to know, is how to turn off the internal power amplifiers because I am only using it as a PrePro, and there are no speakers hooked up to the receiver. I use the Pre-Outs to run three Bryston 2B-LP power amps, and I don't want to destroy the internal amps.
Also, if anyone could sell me a manual, or a photocopy of one, that would be great. In the mean time, I hope someone can tell me how to use the unit as a PrePro, with no speakers hooked to it.

Quad,
not to worry. You're not going to destroy anything.
The amp section simply isn't being used as there is
no load to drive and you're not sending the amps any signal.
AFAIK, there is no way to "turn off" the amps.

Thanks for the advice komakino. That was my thinking as well, but after about 15 minutes, the whole thing just shuts down, so I assumed that it was some sort of protection circuit. I will have to try it again. I love the unit, much better sounding than my old Pioneer, now if I could only get it to stay working! LOL Thanks again! Cheers, Mike.

Try the Marantz site, they have the manuals in PDF form.

Thanks for the link, but this thing is going back. It has more issues than my ex-wife! It has a nasty habit of shutting itself down for no reason, and when I play a digital source (using the digital inputs), it gives off a loud pop in the silent passages between songs ... and these are just the things that I KNOW it is doing wrong. I have hooked up my Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX again, and packed up the Marantz to return it. What a disappointment. It looks like it could have been a nice unit, with a lot of nice features. Oh well, the search continues. Thanks for all the good advice. Mike.
