well...first set got botched! for some reason the 671 was counting very slowly and it only showed about 45 min recorded when the set was actually more like 1:10. listening back to the file, it clearly skips ahead every few seconds to compensate for the smaller time window. very strange...i was running the 4gb PNY card given to me with the 671 for the 1st set...24/96, with both internal ni-mh's and external dvd battery connected.for the 2nd set, i used my kingston 4gb card that i've always used with the mt2496....after formatting this showed a few extra minutes than the PNY card. i double checked the recording profile, all was good, and ran only off of the internal ni-mh's. 2nd set came out fine.anyone experience anything like that before? know what caused it??
Quote from: Dutchman1101 on March 11, 2007, 02:44:24 PMI need some opinions guys. I sent my 671 to Marantz to get repaired. I got it back in record time, which is very cool, but the thing came back with numerous scratches and scuffmarks. The scratches really aren’t deep except for maybe one right on the front but is it me that when you send a brand new mint piece of equipment to someone it should come back in the same condition. My pops was saying it looks like some of it could have happened in shipping. Well my reply is why did I have to ship it in the first place?Let me know if I'm being a big baby but this kind of pisses me off. What do you guys think? Do I have a legitimate beef?Harrisonwas it insured? how was it packaged, in the original material it came in? i'd call back marantz and start bitching loudly. that is bullshit.

(P.S.: On a threaded discussion board like this one, there's no need to repeat someone's post when you reply to them; everyone can see all the messages in the thread.)
if it were me, i would be glad to have a working box. i would only worry about scratches if you plan to sell.
^^anyways, so anyone know why the 671 won't read a file i renamed via an external reader on my pc?
