The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005
under the
Option Setup
sub-menu (see page 58). “Upgrade Notification” will check for
firmware updates that add new features to the AV7005 and, if set to “Yes,” the AV7005
will provide a notification message. Those updates can then be installed using the “Add
New Features” command under
Option Setup
sub-menu (see page 58).
Users with a Rhapsody music account will need to use the “Rhapsody Account” sub-
menu to enter their login information (user name, password, account number). Users
can also clear their account information using the “Clear” option. We describe the
AV7005’s Rhapsody support on page 68, and a Rhapsody account must be entered
here for that service to function.
The “Napster Account” sub-menu allows users to enter a user name and password for a
Napster music account. Like the similar Rhapsody subscription service, an account
must be defined in this menu for the AV7005’s Napster support to function. We describe
the AV7005’s Napster support on page 69.
The final entry in the
Network Setup
sub-menu is “Network Information,” which lists the
AV7005’s network name, the status of DHCP (on or off), the assigned IP address, and
the MAC address. No changes can be made in this menu.
Zone Setup Sub-Menu
The
Zone Setup
sub-menu provides numerous adjustments for the second zone and
third zone. Each zone has a separate menu that provides settings for that zone; both
menus offer the same settings. Controls for bass and treble tone allow ±10dB
adjustment. A high-pass filter (HPF) can be enabled, in which case low frequencies will
be attenuated. This is useful if the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers are too small to
effectively reproduce low frequencies. Left and right channel levels can also be adjusted
±12dB and the output can be set to be either Stereo or Mono using the Channel setting.
Lastly, there are four volume adjustments available. The first is to set whether the
volume output is variable (adjusted using the remote control) or fixed at one of two
levels (either -40dB or 0dB). The fixed settings are useful if the Zone 2 or Zone 3
speakers have a remote volume control, either at a separate amplifier or using a wall-
mounted volume control located between the amplifier and the speakers, as is often
found in homes with in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. If a variable volume control is
enabled, a volume limit can be set at -20dB, -10dB, or 0dB (no limit). The volume level
