Marantz M-CR612 Reviews

Unbeatable Customer Service

By Theodore

Excellent Crisp Sound for my CD Collection. Simple, easy to use buttons. The instruction manual does not give a step-by-step description of setting changes, but all is relatively intuitive. I initially purchased a 'Used' unit that was defective, but B&H quickly shipped a 'New' replacement. B&H is still my Go-To Online Store for photographic and electronic equipment after decades. Highest Quality Service!

It is weak in the company support area.

I have had the unit since the last week in December. I bought it because my wife likes to listen to CDs as she falls asleep. It worked fine for about six weeks and then suddenly wouldn't recognize that a CD was in the tray. It kept repeating No Disk. I called the Marantz support number and was advised to unplug the unit from the wall, let it sit for four to five minutes then plug it back in and retry using it. That worked once. I was asked to reply to an E-Mail that the company sent to me with the unit model number and serial numbers. I was told that I would receive a box and mailing label to return the unit for repair. I did that and have heard nothing further from the company. TIme to call again. The other features of the unit seem to function (which is why the rating isn't lower) but they are not what I spent the money for. Hoping that the situation will improve. I will update this rating if it does.

There is no mention of DAC, whether it has one and what the quality is. Do I need to buy one separately?

It can play digital files from a flash drive or iPod via USB input. It can play wireless digital sources via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 Connectivity. And, of course, it has a built-in CD player.
