The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005
The network jack can be connected to a computer network using a network cable
(Category 5 or higher) or to a wireless network using a wireless bridge. This connection
allows the AV7005 to access files stored on a DLNA-compatible server, to access
Internet services, and to be controlled via a web browser.
The RS-232 port provides a control connection for automation systems such as those
manufactured by Crestron and AMX. It can be connected to a PC or an automation
system using a standard serial cable (not a null modem cable) to provide a control
interface. See page 54 for a note on a Standby Mode setting that affects RS-232
control.
The AM and FM antennas provided with the AV7005 can be connected to the Antenna
inputs at the lower left corner of the rear panel. A SIRIUS antenna can be connected to
the SIRIUS port on the upper left corner, but the antenna will need to be aimed properly.
The map below provides aiming instructions for the US and Canada. In each case, point
the antenna toward the sky in the direction listed.
Area 1:
Point the antenna east, northeast, or
southeast, either through a window or outside.
Area 2:
Point the antenna north or northeast,
either through a window or outside.
Area 3:
Point the antenna north or northwest,
either through a window or outside.
Area 4:
Point the antenna west, northwest, or
southwest, either through a window or outside.
Area 5:
Put the antenna outside and point it
straight up. The antenna cannot be used
indoors
Next to the SIRIUS antenna connection is a port labeled “M-XPort.” This port works with
Marantz’s RX101 wireless Bluetooth receiver. The RX101 can be connected to this port.
Once connected, it can be used to play back audio from Bluetooth devices such as
computers or cell phones. It can also be used to with a compatible remote control. If
used with a remote control, follow the instructions on page 53 of the AV7005 User
Guide to enable the RX101 as a remote receiver.
