Marantz NR1510 AVR Review

[Descartes]

Sad that companies are releasing such crappy products, they have plenty of features with really bad performance!
I guess features sell, to the majority of the population. It seems many people could give a damn for quality!

If you don't need the wifi card, couldn't you just remove it? Or is it difficult to do?

I picked up a NR1711 today just to see if having the two sub outputs would make any difference with the room correction for me. I ran through the setup, but no matter what source I play, it wants to play the audio through the TV speakers. This has never happened with any receiver before. If I turn everything off, and then just turn on the receiver and play via analog with my iphone, it'll play through the speakers, but if I turn the TV on at that point, it plays audio through the tv. If I turn the TV back off, no sound. I have to turn the receiver back off and back on again, leaving TV off, to get the sound through the speakers again. I can't get it to send audio to the speakers no matter what when playing the Firestick. It's all through the TV.

I think this might have something to do with eARC and/or CEC:

The challenge is not in fixing the settings, the challenge is to find them in your TV ;-)

As @TheBatsEar said, you often need to make a setting in your TV to tell it to use eARC.

I have found with the 1510 that if I play Airplay to it, it does not switch back to TV Audio by itself and I have to select that source on the remote.

It was in the AVR settings. I forgot now which it was, as I’m no longer at home, but I switched ARC (I think) to off and it worked fine. My tv does have ARC though, so I’m not sure why that mattered. Anyway, I don’t need it.
