Marantz PMD 671 in the field Part 3...

[Dutchman1101]

Anyone know if the Oade's are still selling stock 671's? I'll try calling them but it's been so busy at work lately I don't think I'll get a chance to in the next few days.

Thats funny, he responded to my email on friday. He was closed 12/23-1/3.

[Dutchman1101]

Got a response back. They do sell stock units. I think I'm going to that route. Sorry again Nick but I think I should just go new.

I was running V2 > Stock 671 line in from the rca outs.  I ran the V2 just the same as I did with the V2>mini-me. Just to the point where the over lights on the V2 start to flicker, During loud passages. Would start at about 30 on the dial with 603A/200 in clubs. Nutter had some documentation up a a while ago but don't see it now.

I just pulled my manual out, "red indicates a peak level which is 10db before clipping.." The link is:

My ACM arrives tommorow.

Quick question... If I'm using NIMH rechargable AA's do I select NIMH or Alkaline? I assume the NIMH is for the battery Marantz sells but I just wanted to be sure. the manual does not say anything about this.

i use the nimh setting. fwiw, the battery meter sucks. its stays full for a couple hours, then goes to half for a short time, then it blinks and your are dead within a couple minutes. too bad walmart batts dont work well.

Thanks. I had it die on me at Zero this weekend. I was on the Alkaline setting. I tried the NIMH setting and it did the same thing. I then tried it again on the Alkaline setting and it went the full 4 hours of the card. I wonder what the deal is? I heard about the battery holster can come loose or something but I did a bunch of tests to see it that was the case and that does not seem to be the probelm.

FWIW a buddy of mine uses a DVD battery with no problems at all. I just bought one too and I'm pretty sure it will work. I'm pretty sure that the 671 can accept a pretty broad range of voltages.

[sygdwm]

the dvd batts do work, but as they die they dont produce as much voltage. you cant use the batts all the way, if that makes sense. i have never had a sled malfunction and i own 2 units. just make sure you use well charged AA's and you should be fine. i use a dvd battery as a backup just in case the internals start to die.

The sled is def my problem. I gently took off the battery cover just now and the thing died. I have the worst luck I guess I'll see what Marantz says. I know a few epople had similar issues but I figured they had this fixed by now

[sygdwm]

i think the remedy to said problems was to shimmy something in between the sled and the side of cage. never had to personally though.
