The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005
The “Maintenance Mode” option should only be used when directed to by a Marantz
service engineer, Outlaw Audio customer support, or a custom installer.
The AV7005’s network connection can be used to update the processor’s firmware over
the Internet. The last two settings in
Manual Setup
relate to firmware updates. The first,
“Firmware Updates,” can be used to check for updates and install updates if they are
available. Select “Check for Updates” to find out if new firmware is available and how
long a firmware update will take, or use the automatic notification (“Update Notification”)
described back on page 54 to allow the AV7005 to report when updates are available.
Select “Start” to begin the firmware update process.
The last option in
Manual Setup
is “Add New Feature.” In some cases, Marantz will
provide firmware updates that expand the AV7005’s feature set. These firmware
updates are installed separately from the firmware updates mentioned above, as they
may involve most extensive changes. You can use the automatic notification (“Upgrade
Notification”) described on page 55 to allow the AV7005 to report when these updates
are available. If one is available, select “Upgrade” to begin the installation process.
Select “Upgrade Status” to get a list of new functions offered by the current update.
Firmware updates involve replacing significant pieces of the AV7005’s internal software.
You must leave the AV7005 turned on throughout a firmware update, and you should
expect it to take anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour to complete the process.
Also, we recommend recording your settings prior to any firmware update, as the
AV7005 may be forced to erase your settings as part of the update process. If an
update fails, press and hold the “ON/STANDBY” button on the front panel for at least
five seconds. “Update retry” should appear on the front panel display and the update
should re-start. If it does not, unplug and re-insert the power cord and try again.
Input Setup
The Quick Setup Guide covered this menu in great detail. In that section, we addressed
the
Input Assign
,
Video
, and
Input Mode
sub-menus. We recommend using that section
and the pages from the AV7005 User Manual referenced below to locate any
information you might need about the settings they contain. In addition to the Quick
Setup Guide, the page numbers listed below will bring you to the relevant portions of the
AV7005 User Manual.
