Solid construction, rich sound, easy set-up. Only complaint I have is Zone 2 only accepting analog inputs. For the price I would expect all inputs would be available. Pros: Set-up Construction Sound depth and richness Number of inputs Cons: Zone 2 inputs analog only Was this review helpful? Yes No Better Than Expected Written By John, Lexington, SC on Thursday, October 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Marantz sr6007 was purchased to replace an older Rotel pre/pro 1068 in order to take advantage of HDMI connections and room correction. I initially used the Marantz as a preamp only as I already had a separate two channel and multi-channel amps though I eventually felt there was no benefit with the separate amps with the Marantz. The Marantz excels at low to moderate listening levels, which is where I listen 99% of the time. I have B&W 804S speakers, which presents a moderate load for the receiver to drive. Read the Audyssey setup carefully and learn the different settings. In my opinion Audyssey is what really makes this receiver sound good. The remote control is simple to use and the remote app for I pad is really nice. The round viewing port is for looks rather than obtaining information from afar. The blue circle around the port does not light up. Kind of odd, but I was so happy that I return the receiver and purchased the sr7008 instead primarily for the upgraded Audessy xt32 and the separate screen that you can actually read. I will do a review on the more expensive receiver once I get more familiar with the settings. Pros: Low level listening Audyssey Connectivity Remote very simple to use Cons: Round viewing port no very useful Runs Warm 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By JefF m, BILLSVILLE on Monday, October 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I exchanged a 1 Marantz NR 1403 for this stereo and did not like it at all.The 1403 was just better sound at half the wattage. I had anticipated this unit to be twice as loud as the 1403 but that was not the case did not like at all. I wish that marantz would make the 1403 with more wattage ,like just keep it simple , loud and powerful,but not having to turn it up as loud as it goes to get it to sound decent. Oh well my search continues Pros: none Cons: Does not sound like 110 watts Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Disappointed Written By Rusty F, Atlanta, GA on Monday, October 14, 2013 Hooked this up 5.1 to a new Polk CAi6A center channel and klipsh towers, rear speakers & sub that sounded great with the Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 I replaced. Sound quality is now marginal at best. verified everything connected properly. Very hollow & "tinny"sounding voice. Bought this receiver based on other positive reviews...this unit must be a dud. Audyssey setup & EQ only make the vocals sound more hollow. Spent an hour with Marantz tech and 45 min with Crutchfield tech but sound issues remain. I have all EQ modes set to off and manually reset the speakers. Updated from and older Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 - weighted 73 lbs - this receiver is feather lite. The HK would rock the house but this unit on the cable box runs at sound level 45 just to get normal listening levels - the HK ran at 30. Air play does not work, app for iphone 4S useless. I get better sound quality and lower receiver levels (30) by streaming Netflix than I do from the cable box at 45. I have an older Denon AVR 1708 hooked up to a 5.1 HK cube speaker setup that sounds better the "higher end" system in the main room. Pros: Crutchfield shipping 1st rate. The Blue Ray works great. The Iphone charges and play well when connected thru USB. CD player run thru optical cable sounds great. Setup not hard but needs to be adjusted - example it read my sub being 25 feet away when it is 13 feet from the mic. Cons: Runs hot. Remote stinks - I now have 4 remotes on the table (TV, Cable box, Blue Ray & Receiver) The sound quality for vocals are so hollow & tinny I would like to send this back. The picture up scaling seems to be ineffective from 480P. The round port hole is to small & hard to read unless up close. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sounds great! Written By bjnod, Seattle, WA on Tuesday, October 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the record I am not an experienced audiophile or HT expert. I wanted a decent system for music and movies. This reciever delivers exectly what I expected, though I am not using all of its capability at this time. I currently have a 3.0 speaker set up as I save for an evential 5.1 system. I have a pair of Focal Chorus 726 and a 700C. CDs, FLAC and Apple Lossless sound great. I have played them from the maranz network connection and vie apple tv. Movies sound as good as can be expected witht he speaker setup I have. There are more than enough connections for my needs, specifically HDMI inputs. I am happy with the way Audyssey set up my speakers. I find the UI looks dated. I have had some issues with ARC and my Samsung TV, likely due to my lack of knowledge. The issue I am most frustrated by is network/internet radio interuption avery 5 minutes or so. I can't determine if it is the TV or the reciever causing the issue. I also thought at this point in time and price range the unit should have wifi. Lastly, I had some challenges at first with certain devices with certain HDMI ports. I'm not sure how, but they eventually all work now. Pros: Sounds great! Plenty of HDMI inputs Cons: No wifi A little confusing at first Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By Art, Fair Play, SC on Friday, October 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this receiver to replace my old Marantz 5600 since it did not have HDMI inputs and outputs. I used the old unit for an older projector and home theater system and it worked perfectly. The sound quality it produced was outstanding which is why I decided to purchase another Marantz. Installation and set up was a snap and it has more HDMI inputs than I will ever need. As expected the audio and video quality has met my expectations and I would recommend this unit to a friend without hesitation. Pros: Easy to set up and produces great sound and Video at a fair price Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Too Easy!!! Written By John A, Barrington NJ on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I called and spoke to Hogan. Not only did he take the time to explain the differences between the receivers, he answered every question I threw at him with ease. He suggested the Marantz after hearing what I was looking for and he couldn't have been more right. The installation and programming were extremely simple ,like he said, and the sound is amazing! The picture quality is outstanding also. I had a Denon before, and the Marantz blows it out of the water. Pros: Ease of programing sound and picture quality Cons: not a backlit remote 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Versatile Receiver Written By PWCMD, Gainesville, FL on Thursday, September 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Marantz SR6007 replaced a Sony STR-3200ES which we had had for several years. The Sony was awkward when switching from DVD to TV/Cable and it had a few other problems that I hoped the Marantz would solve. The Marantz was relatively easy to set up. I had difficulty understanding exactly how I was to connect speakers for our 5.1 setup but eventually worked that out. I enjoy listening to music from iTunes on my computer in another room via Air Play on the Marantz. I have it set up to play Sirius-XM and that works well also. My only problem so far has been with the Network settings. I have not managed to access picture or music folders on the network yet probably due to my having failed to set permissions correctly but I will continue to work on that. Also I accidentally clicked on the Pandora link and had to completely re-set the receiver. Until I did so the Network was unavailable as the receiver continued indefinitely "authenticating" Pandora. Re-setting it meant having to go through Set-Up again which was a bit annoying but nothing short of that got past the authenticating. The controls are fairly simple and straightforward and the sound is terrific. Pros: Good looking receiver. Fairly easy set-up. Terrific sound. Easy remote control. Cons: Unit froze "authenticating" Pandora and had to be re-set. Instructions could be a little clearer. Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By BrentS, IA on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product. Easy to connect and set up. No complaints. Pros: Simplistic design - looks and performs very well. Apple Airplay and internet radio are plusses. Cons: No printed manual included. A CD with a .pdf version is included. Must set each input through the menu for operation. Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By Mark P., Cottonwood Heights, Ut. on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice powerful product, clean lines and good looks. Pros: Easy to set up. Video pass through works well. Phono input is a real plus and produces excellent low noise fidelity in stereo mode. Cons: Center channel has a habit of dropping high frequency's as times with certain sources and sometimes lacks crispness. I used the microphone setup, as well as the voice EQ, but still have issues. This unit replaced a Harmon Kardon AVR630, which was an Audio masterpiece. The Marantz does not quite measure up. Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By FrankB, Livingston, NJ on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Looks beautiful and sounds great Pros: Very sleek look, easy to navigate menu of components, has an audio input for my turntable, love the sound. Cons: Wish I could figure out how to set up the speakers in the different zones with the microphone they included. Also, volume has to be cranked REALLY high to get good sound in a larger room. Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By Larry C, OKC, OK on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy setup, Replaced a 5 series Pioneer Elite, which I liked also. This unit seems to have more definitive seperation Pros: good sound for price, easy operation Cons: zone 2 speakers pain to set up (patio, already wired), a little quirky 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Phenominal! Written By RussG, St Louis, Mo on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This replaced an older Pioneer Elite that was excellent, or so I thought. Set up was easy and the sound is phenominal! Cons: none so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6006 Review Written By Music Executive, Thousand Oaks, California on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my very first receiver in a long time. I'm using it only for audio, not home theater. I chose this model because it has a phono input and the Internet radio features. The sound of the unit is good and the GUI is really nice. I wish the U.S. version of this receiver was available in the silver color as it is in the European store. The build quality is ok but I wish they put a little more into the box. In black it looks like every old Sony, Denon unit you can get at a big box store. The Internet radio is easy to use and opens the world up to thousands of radio stations without having to use your computer. You can play iTunes music from your devices through the Airplay feature and it works very well. Pros: Lots of features including phono input, Airplay and Internet radio. Sounds good. GUI is simple to use and set up. Cons: The case is plain, they could have given it more of a high-end look especially for the price point but it looks like a mid level receiver. Are we forever going to have black electronics? If you're a mac user, you kind of wish your computer junk matched your audio junk since the two worlds collided long ago. Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By Marco, Houston, TX on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product, gorgeous sound, easy setup. The only thing that I would complain about is that you have to navigate through several menus to see the details of the audio and video signals (input signal video resolution, audio bitrate, number of channels, etc.), definitely not a deal breaker. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great receiver Written By JamesL, Brooklyn, NY on Monday, February 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Stunning sound. I've got Cambridge SoundWorks Tower II speakers and play a lot of jazz off vinyl. I upgraded from a 10-year-old Marantz receiver to accommodate a new TV and generally to upgrade, and the difference in sound is remarkable. The Marantz sound is warm and deep and rich, and it's got a smart set of features. Note: The lack of wifi means you have to be close to an ethernet connection (or use airport express or something similar). The portal display is a little silly, but with the iphone remote app you don't need it anyway, and on the on-screen menus are fine. Setup is easy. I did notice a minor degradation in build quality from the older model, as people have been saying, but nothing substantial (the knobs feel a little flimsy -- but I'll never use them). The sound is just beautiful, and it handles switching between devices nicely. The Audyssey setup works great. The Airplay integration is nice, as is the built-in Pandora and Spotify. I really recommend this product. Pros: Sounds fantastic. Easy to use Plenty of inputs and a smart feature set Cons: Portal display is cramped and of limited utility No wifi 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Better then the Denon 3313 Written By Chris, SoCal on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 You can read my review on the Denon 3313 to catch up, but I moved over to this unit as the Denon was unacceptable. The build quality to slightly better then the Denon, much better connectors, but the back panel still flexes when plugging in speaker plugs, and the power cable is still very loose. As I have a Marantz pm8004 (Japan built), it is sad to see where the brand is going at the moment as far as overall quality. I mainly switched from the Denon to this due to unacceptable sound quality. I am honestly not sure why I thought this would be any better, as the same chip sets are in use, but I immediately noticed better internals (caps, transformer, etc.) and sure enough it made the difference. The sound quality is by far acceptable, but am still unsure if it wows me enough to keep. It at least has the realistic mids, accurate highs, and non anemic bass I didn't get from the Denon. I find it very annoying that fine tuning adjustments do not take place immediately like the Denon though. and I can not hear the changes I have made until I back out of the EQ adjustment. When I do, a small pop, then the changes are there. Strange. Video quality same as Denon, which is very good. Overall disappointed with what is happening to the brand, and overall quality. I am debating a NR1603 for the video, iPod, and wireless features and to power my center and surrounds, and getting a mm7025 Japan built power amp while I still can. I am sure that combo will at least finally rock. Pros: video quality, internet radio, direct iPod connection Cons: build quality, manual tuning issues, lack of front door style cover 10 out of 22 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By KMac, Schertz, Texas on Sunday, December 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I highly recommend not only this product, but listening to the advice of the experts they have selling this stuff. My Crutchfield advisor Jackson was patient, fully explained what to look for and helped me select an awesome system. I ended up with a Samsung 64" 3-D plasma, this Marantz receiver driving five Klipsch in-ceiling speakers. The entire system is matched perfectly and blows me away. My friends thought I was crazy, but going with the in-ceiling speakers freed up space and replaced my Bose 901's. They not just replaced the 9012's, they out-class them in every regard. I installed everything myself, piece of cake with very little skill, required, mostly common sense. I have bought numerous electronics from Crutchfield, this last purchase was typical in the way they handle their business. Shipment was fast, everything came in with no mistakes and installed easily. Not buying from Crutchfield would be a mistake if your looking for quality, selection, expertise and a company that stands behind everything they advertise. Thanks Jackson, I absolutely love what we put together. Ken Pros: Perfectly matched TV, Receiver and speakers, Fast delivery, unbelievable performance. Cons: Zero. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Marantz SR6007 Written By SamD, Asheville, NC on Thursday, November 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beautiful piece of equipment. Installation and setup was easy and straight-forward. The Audissey microphone makes configuring home theater speakers very fast and simple. I can't find any problems with the sound, and there are enough inputs and outputs to take care of my needs for several years. Pros: Excellent sound quality Easy setup 6 HDMI inputs for Cable, Roku, Apple TV, etc. Supports up to 2 subwoofers Cons: Remote only controls Marantz equipment, no learning capability 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The power amplifier circuit adopts a discrete-circuit configuration that achieves high-quality surround sound reproduction. The 7 channel amplifier is rated at 110 watts with 2 channels driven (20-20kHz, 8-ohms, 0.08% THD). Amplifier Assignment: The SR6007 supports up to 7.2 channels (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, and SW) for surround playback defined by the Blu-ray disc format. The seven amplifier channels built into the receiver are typically used for 7.2 channel surround in the main room, but there are various amplifier configurations to accommodate your home theater setup: Normal: The SR6007 is designed to be used as a 7.2ch surround sound receiver with front left/right, center-channel, surround left/right, and surround back left/right channels along with a preamp subwoofer output. Bi-Amp: You can configure the amplifier for front bi-amp operation to achieve a higher-quality 2-channel sound by connecting the receiver's front and surround back channels to your main front speakers (if compatible). Receiver will be limited to 5.2ch surround. Front Height: To enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power amp from the two surround back channels to the two front height channels for better front effects. Front Wide: To enjoy Audyssey DSX, you can reassign the power amp from the two surround back channels to the two front wide channels for better front effects. Zone 2: The surround back channel amplifier can also be assigned to power stereo speakers in Zone 2. Receiver will be limited to 5.2ch surround. Note: There is also Front L/R Speaker B terminals to connect a second pair of front speakers in another room or the same room. You can only select A or B speakers; you cannot select both, nor play them simultaneously. High Current Power Supply: The Marantz SR6007 AV surround receiver employs a high current linear power supply with an EI core power transformer for high-quality sound playback. Isolated Audio Circuit Board: The carefully-optimized audio signal path rests on a separate circuit board for maximum performance as well as isolation from interferences generated by high speed video processing. 24-bit/192-kHz DACs: The Marantz SR6007 utilizes a 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter on each of the unit's seven channels for exceptional sound quality. The 192kHz sampling and 24-bit word length capabilities of the DACs allows you to play high-resolution recordings and hear the increased clarity, detail and dynamic range of those recordings. Digital Signal Processing (DSP): The Marantz SR6007 is equipped with a high-resolution Analog Devices (ADSP21487) 32-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP). All elements of the Surround Processor are optimized to the highest standards by the use of selected high performance and discrete components, particularly the A/D and D/A converters and the sophisticated DSP surround decoder. The SR6007 is equipped with various surround modes to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The receiver features Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS and DTS-HD decoding; as well as offers Dolby Pro Logic II (x/z) audio processing. Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital, Dolby, Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6 Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Pro Logic IIz Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. Audyssey Technology: The Marantz SR6007 features a full package of Audyssey audio technologies for optimal sound quality. Audyssey MultEQ XT: Audyssey MultEQ XT technology helps create an optimal acoustic profile for your home theater. Using the included setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT measures sound levels and adjusts speaker configuration accordingly, making setup fast and easy. This room acoustic measuring and correction system analyzes (via the included microphone) the audio characteristics of your speaker system and your listening environment at up to 8 measurement points and automatically tailors the sound for top audio fidelity. You can set the Audyssey MultEQ XT to one of the following modes. Audyssey: Optimizes the crossover point, output level, delay time, and equalization of all speakers based on speaker frequency response, speaker location, and room acoustics. Audyssey Bypass L/R: Optimizes all speakers except front left and right. Audyssey Flat: Optimizes frequency response of all speakers to flat. Manual: Adjusts the tonal quality for each speaker individually using the manual equalizer settings; adjust from -20 to +6 dB at 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, and 16 kHz. Off: Turns equalizer off. Dynamic EQ: Audio engineers mix music and movie soundtracks at reference levels much louder than typical home listening levels. At lower volumes the human ear perceives sound differently; voices change, bass dissipates, and the surround effect becomes less enveloping. Dynamic EQ adjusts the frequency response curve based on volume to maintain consistent bass output, octave-to-octave balance, and surround impact, resulting in rich sound at any volume. You can set the Dynamic EQ to 0, 5, 10, or 15 dB. Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume addresses the issue of commercials that are too loud and movie soundtracks with vast differences between soft and loud passages; the results are more intelligible dialogue, loud passages maintain impact, and soft whispers are heard clearly. When the volume level changes, Dynamic EQ also adjusts the frequency response to maintain sound quality. You can set the Dynamic Volume to Day (low), Evening (middle), Midnight (high), or off. Audyssey DSX (Dynamic Surround Expansion): Audyssey DSX is a scalable surround exposition system that adds new channels to improve the surround impression. Based on research in human hearing, Audyssey DSX add a pair of Wide channels in the front because that information is critical in the rendering of a realistic soundstage. Audyssey DSX then adds a pair of Height channels above the main front channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues related to soundstage depth. In addition to creating these new channels, Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and side/back surround channels. The result is a much more seamless and enveloping home theater experience. Surround Parameters: You can adjust the following surround mode parameters: Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While listening in the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three further enhancements you can adjust: Panorama: Broadens the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a wraparound effect, especially effective when there is limited output from the surround channels, panorama can be turned on/off in the menu. Dimension: Allows you to move the sound field forward or backward. Center Width: Allows you to adjust the width of the center channel. Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the Center Image feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel, especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies from 7 (nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut in half). Height Gain: Adjust the volume (Low/Mid/High) of the Front Height channels in Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Stage Height/Width: Adjust the sound stage width/height (+/-10dB) when using Front Height or Front Wide speaker in Audyssey DSX. Stereo Modes: The Marantz SR6007 surround receiver also provides two-channel stereo and multi-channel stereo playback, as well a virtual surround from two stereo speakers. 2CH Stereo: This is the mode for playing in 2-channel stereo; bass and treble can be adjusted and sound is output from the front left and right speakers, along with a connected subwoofer. Multi-Channel Stereo: This mode lets you enjoy stereo sound from all speakers. Virtual Speaker: Enjoy surround effects using only the front speakers or headphones. Direct Modes: The Marantz SR6007 offers two Direct sound modes which offer high-quality sound by bypassing the receiver's DSP & video circuitry. Source Direct: In this mode the 2ch audio signal is played in its original form, without any surround or tone processing. Multichannel audio signal is played in its original form, without any tone processing. Pure Direct: This mode is for playback in higher sound quality than in Direct mode. The display and analog video circuitry are turned off to minimize the possibility of any noise being added to the signal. M-DAX: Compressed audio formats such as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The M-DAX function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio signals. HT-EQ: The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theater environments. Activating the receiver's HT-EQ feature when watching a film made from movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance. Dynamic Range Compression (DRC): Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, Compressing the dynamic range allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack with reduced dynamic range. DRC works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS. Tone Settings: You can independently adjust the system's overall Bass and Treble settings from -6 to +6 dB. You can also fade the sound from front to rear, or vice-versa. Level Adjustments: The SR6007 provides the following level adjustments. Source Level: This function adjusts the playback level of the currently selected input source's audio input. Use this feature if there are differences in the input volume levels between different sources. You can correct the playback level of the audio input from -12 to +12dB. Dialogue Level: You can adjust the output level (+/-12dB) to clarify the dialogue output from the center channel. Subwoofer Level: You can set the receiver's subwoofer output level (+/-12dB) independent from the other speaker levels and system's main volume. Volume Settings: The SR6007 offers the following volume settings. Volume Scale: You can choose to display an Absolute volume scale (0-98) or Relative volume scale (-79.5 to 18dB). Volume Limit: You can set a maximum volume level of 0dB (80), -10dB (70), or -20dB (60) to limit the receiver's total volume output. Turn-On Volume: You can define the volume setting that is active when the power is turned on (0, 1-98, -79 to +18dB, or Last) Mute Level: You can set the amount of attenuation for the audio muting circuit; -40dB or -20dB below current volume, or full mute (sound turned off entirely). Tone Control: You can adjust the receiver's Bass and Treble (+/-6db) independently to suit your listening taste or room acoustics. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Marantz AV receiver offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Assignable Digital Inputs: The SR6007 features two optical digital (Toslink) inputs and two coaxial digital inputs. Each input can be assigned to any of the different input sources except Tuner.

If you will not be using the 7.1 channel input with a multi-channel decoder, you can use the front and left inputs as an auxiliary input. 7.2ch Pre-Out: The A/V receiver features 7.2ch pre-amp outputs (Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R, and Dual Subs) for connection to external power amplifiers. Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding-post terminals for all speaker connections. The binding-post terminals can accept bare wire, pin connectors, and banana plugs (single only). The receiver will accept speaker impedances of 6 to 8-ohm. Dual Subwoofer Outputs: An additional subwoofer output proves especially useful in large room settings where one subwoofer may not provide adequate low-frequency output. Headphone Output: The receiver features a 1/4" stereo headphone jack on its front panel for connecting a pair of optional headphones. The unit's speakers will automatically be turned off when a set of headphones are connected. Video Features HDMI (v1.4a): With six HDMI v.1.4a inputs (5 rear/1 front) and two HDMI v.1.4a outputs, the SR6007 allows you to route multiple high-definition devices--like game consoles and Blu-ray players--to your TV. It also allows you to connect all of your devices to your TV with a single HDMI cable (via its dual HDMI monitor outputs), reducing cable clutter.

The Stone Roses are an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's most successful lineup consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield, and drummer Alan "Reni" Wren. The band released their début album, The Stone Roses, in 1989. The album was a breakthrough success for the band. At this time the Stone Roses decided to capitalise on their success by signing to a major label; their current record label Silvertone would not let them out of their contract, which led to a long legal battle that culminated with the band signing with Geffen Records in 1991, and then releasing their second album Second Coming in 1994. The group soon disbanded after several lineup changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni first departing, followed by Squire. Following media speculation, it was announced on 18 October 2011 that the band had reunited for a world tour in 2012, starting with three homecoming shows in Manchester. They also plan to record a third album in the future.

One of the most emotional moments in Yankees history, and one of the most notable photographs in American history! On Babe Ruth Day at the stadium on June 13, 1948, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, as everyone knew it would be The Babe's final appearance at the house that he built. In beautiful sepia-toned black & white from the lens of legendary photographer Nat Fein, you get a brilliant view of the original, pre-renovation Yankee Stadium, as it stood during The Babe's playing days, at a moment that lives on in history. The Stadium details are magnificent, the Yankees down the line are inspiring, and The Babe stands alone, apart from all other Yankees in their incredible history. Fein won a Pulitzer Prize for this photograph, which now hangs in both the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. A rare poster from New York Graphic Society that you'll likely never find in stores!

Just added a bit of salt at the end and it was perfect!
I made this tonight and I also tweaked it to try and improve the flavor. I used canned Italian tomatoes and seared the chicken in dressing. Although my family said it was good, it just wasn't a big hit. I'd probably make it again if I had the ingredients and nothing else was available.
Loved it.

This guy would look great in a Phins uni, pure speed.......something we desperately need.
This guy would look great in a Phins uni, pure speed.......something we desperately need.
I was thinking that about an hour ago. Too bad he is a sophomore. A mock draft has him in the top 5 next year.
Not just speed. Total change of direction, great hands, could be a devastating slot rec.
He is fast. No question, but I think Oregon's system is so gimmicky. I am dying to see Chip Kelly come to the NFL. He will be eaten up.
maybe in a few years down the road
If Kelly tries this **** in the NFL, just whack the ****ing crap out of his QB and water bug RB's. Bring it. I was hoping Buffalo would get this guy.
chip may be a gimmick but don't let that fool you about thomas, he is a play maker and will be a star
(On Miami sports teams being popular)
-Thats not competition, LeBron said. Thats like you rooting for your family members. Thats not competition at all. It would be great to have him, but well see.
there's no doubt it's gimmicky...but it would give some nfl dcs headaches while they figured it out...thomas in the top 5 at that size is a pump the brakes...he might be a situational player and specials guy at the next level...still that explosion and burst will translate...i'd say late round 1 someone pulls the trigger
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Every time somebody in football comes out and does something outside the box which is wildly successful, you get all these guys coming out with "if he tried that vs XXX, he'd be killed". Stick to the knitting and don't try anything other than what worked 30 years ago. It's that sort of group-think that has made Chip Kelly so successful in Oregon, Belichick in NE and countless players (RGIII anyone?) who play the game differently to the cut-out-and-keep template.
Chip Kelly deserves all the plaudits he gets. I for one would love to see him in the NFL, to see what he would cook up. I imagine he's smart enough to know what would and wouldn't work out of his college system.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett

Stocks Slammed by Fiscal Cliff Fears
TheStreet) -- The major U.S. equity averages plunged Wednesday as worries about the fiscal cliff rattled investors in the wake of Tuesday's status quo election results. The bears were out in force after President Barack Obama won a second term in The White House, the Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives and the Democrats kept the upper hand in the Senate.The lack of a shift in the political landscape racheted up fears that getting Democrats and Republicans will be able to cooperate and act decisively to address the looming expiration of certain tax cuts and other legislative measures. Violent protests in Greece as the country's parliament votes on austerity measures also added to the dour mood. Bonds made a huge move higher with the 10-year Treasury jumping 1 1/32, pushing the yield down to 1.642%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 313 points, or 2.36%, to close at 12,933. It was the blue-chip index's first close below 13,000 since Aug. 2. All 30 Dow components finished in the red. The biggest laggards in the index were Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), UnitedHealth (UNH), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Intel (INTC). The S&P 500 fell nearly 34 points, or 2.37%, to settle at 1395, while the Nasdaq Composite plummeted close to 75 points, or 2.48%, to close at 2937. The weakest sectors in the broad market were capital goods, energy, financials and technology; all of which were down more than 2%. Every industry group was under significant selling pressure though, losing more than 1%. Apple (AAPL - Get Report), whose shares tumbled 3.8% was among the hardest-hit names in technology. The iPad maker was told by a Texas federal jury Tuesday to pay patent holding firm VirnetX (VHC) $368 million to help settle a patent dispute. VirnetX soared 28.4%. Decliners were ahead of advancers by a 4.3-to-1 ratio on the Big Board and 5.7-to-1 on the Nasdaq. Volume totaled 4.30 billion on the New York Stock Exchange and 2.03 billion on the Nasdaq. "The House, Senate, and Presidency are all basically in the same partisan position they were prior to the election, which means a lot more of the same policies," said Steve Ayer, managing director and partner at HighTower Strata Wealth Management. "The markets will like the fact that we will have a loose monetary policy, but that will be offset by concerns about higher taxes, worries over the Fiscal Cliff (FC) ramifications, growth concerns, and the other myriad of problems throughout the world." "In terms of the FC, perhaps the biggest concern right now is the fear of a more deeply divided Congress, with the Republicans in the House feeling emboldened as well as the Democrats in the Senate. Given the track record of our lawmakers in raising the debt ceiling last year, there will be tremendous difficulty in getting a compromise on the FC, particularly in light of the fact that we are at the beginning the lame-duck session," continued Ayer, who expects volatility to spike higher in the near-term. "The 2012 U.S. elections are over, and there has been no change to the balance of power. So, the best forecast of the future is that if nothing changes, we can expect more of the same, which has been gridlock on policy," said Douglas Cote, chief market strategist, ING Investment Management. Economic data took a backseat to the election results. The Federal Reserve said consumer credit came in at $11.4 billion, higher than anticipated. Overseas markets mostly declined. The FTSE 100 in London was down 0.45%, while the DAX in Germany was slumping by 1.2%. Japan's Nikkei average closed down 0.03% on Wednesday and Hong Kong's Hang Seng finished up 0.71%.NEW YORK (

OLYMPIA — Scammers are targeting consumers with threats of arrest, criminal prosecution, wage garnishment and high fees for allegedly unpaid personal loans and payday loans, warns the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Consumer Services.
The division has received more than 100 complaints over the last year from consumers reporting being contacted by a supposed debt collector attempting to collect a nonexistent debt. In some cases, the caller has had personal information about the consumer such as name, address, date of birth, and even Social Security number, the news release said.
Consumers should verify debt and should not send money or provide any personal information.
Consumers should be wary when they get a collection call, even if the collector claims to be from law offices, the FBI and other law enforcement or government agencies, the news release said.
Warning signs that the debt may be invalid may include:
• Caller unwilling to provide written validation of the debt.
• Caller won't provide a mailing address.
• Caller threatens criminal sanctions or violence, or uses profane language or other scare tactics.
• You don't recognize the debt.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, deceptive and unfair collection practices.

Summer is here. For families with school children, it feels like it began last Friday with the last day of school until August. But according to the calendar, summer officially begins today. Vow to make the best of it this year.
In many households, summer might mean big changes in the daily routines. Vacations have begun, reservations for summer camps have been made, and plans are being made to keep the kids busy and out of trouble. We're staying up later, spending more time outdoors, looking for ways to enjoy the area. And hopefully taking the opportunity to take in some of the local sights and sounds. There are many entertainment options to enjoy nearby that won't put a dent in your wallet. Local tourism officials are pushing the "stay-cation." Some families are on tight budgets these days, and they are discovering that there are many ways to be entertained locally and at less expense.
What's there to do around here? Plenty.
Back this year are the free concerts offered in La Plata and St. Charles. Both start at 7 p.m. each Friday through the end of the summer. La Plata's concerts are on the lawn at the town hall. In Waldorf, the concerts are held next to O'Donnell Lake off Smallwood Drive. Bring a lawn chair or just spread out a blanket. A variety of bands and music genres are offered. The schedule lineup often includes many local favorites as well as some new groups to spice things up. Those a little more adventurous can travel to neighboring St. Mary's and Calvert counties. North Beach, Solomons, Leonardtown and St. Mary's City all offer musical entertainment throughout the summer, too. The majority of the concerts are free.
What has become a favorite summer activity of many in the past few years is a trip to watch the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs play at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf. The minor league baseball team plays in the Atlantic League; its schedule includes about 70 home games during the regular season. Special events go on at most home games. The team is in town this weekend through June 27, and then they are back July 2 through 7.
The team is in its sixth year, and the boys of summer always are a good bet for some fun on a summer's evening. The stadium offers a great place to watch a game. Spectators can sit close to the action. Tickets are inexpensive, and an even better way to save money is to bring your own lawn chairs and blankets and sit on the hillside just beyond the outfield fence. There are plenty of activities for children, including a playground and bumper boats. Impressive fireworks displays are offered after the games on Friday and Saturday nights. Remember when the only time you got to see fireworks was on the Fourth of July?
The team also is looking forward to hosting the league's All-Star activities July 9 and 10. Fifty of the league's best athletes will be in town. Team officials expect to see record crowds at some of the events associated with the All-Star events. As of this writing, the team is sitting atop its division. It's shaping up to be a good season for the Blue Crabs, and there's plenty of time to catch the action and enjoy a night out close to home.
