Even I had similar problem with my sr 5007. Last year I sent it to Mz Audio for rectifying HDMI board issues. I got it back after 2 months and many phone calls. They claimed that they changed HDMI board but it seems they did some patchy work only. Now recently my sr 5007 stopped sending audio signals to speakers. I checked with them and they are asking me to send it again for repairs. Once it goes to their workshop, it takes ages to get it back and also you don't get updates from them.
Yes it happened me twice and out of 1 year warranty almost 6 months it was either with them or transit.due to this the last time when it is out of warranty( this Jan) though they have considered my issue and said to send it to Chennai service centre( recently started). I have done so but the person at service centre had some personal issues so it was on hold for 2 months. After lot of phone calls it came back on March mid week and finally found the problem was not solved. Then I took the help of local services got me found these flaws done by MZ Audio.
As far the components are working and the way they deal with customer is good. Once you get the trouble their attitude revealed.
Let me tell you one more such incident happened with my friend with pioneer AVR purchased from same have some issues with surround speaker levels.he found the issue after holding it for almost 3 months and reluctant to replace it. Then we raised the issue with pioneer india and finally the piece was replaced.
I think I have seen enough with them and I don't want to rely on them for further services on my AVR.
But what to do,

Pretty pleased with my Marantz so far. Must have run audessey quite a few times trying to get that perfect blend to the sub.
Only problem that I found so far was that sometimes audio does not come on when switching between sources.
And well, reference settings of audessey can only truly be appreciated at reference volumes, which cannot be played in my small apartment without feeling guilty of disturbing my neighbors.

Got SR 5010 week back and updated the firmware to DTS X over wifi and went pretty smooth, no issues at all.
calibrated with Audyssey but not happy with sound while watching some dts samples, during calibration suddenly there was fireworks noise started in background and it seems due to which will have to rerun audyssey.

Hi
As for me, I run audyssey to check and see what typical settings the AVR does itself based on various parameters...
Then I calibrate manually levels, EQ, source levels etc to get the wow / bliss to my ears.....that's the beauty of any Marantz model, you can tweak as much as you wish...

Very true. Dynamic eq is supposed to adjust reference settings to low level listning. It does a decent enough job but the few rare times i was um permitted to listen to reference at reference levels was very satisfying. Not that anything is wrong with preference though.
Probably the intermediary i.e your dealer is culprit

Really nice to see this thread. Though I am not exactly a AVR owner, I have flagship product of Marantz stereo amp lineup, the PM6004. Every time i listen to the sound I love it all the more. As of now I am looking at upgrading my speakers from the paradigm FS Monitor 7. I am looking for more musical ones. Not that Monitor 7 aren't, its just that I am now looking for a change and upgrade for better. Suggestions and experiences are welcome.

I have their 7005 pre pro, and have been using it for the past 3 years, so far so good.
I have the SR6009 bought from Hifimart last year. Very happy with this receiver and love its audyssey features. I am running two SVS subs and they blend perfectly with my room thanks to audyssey.
Cheers,
Sid

Marantz Amps are good ..My PM7001 still working after 5 yrs ...and my recent purchase PM11S2 ..is quite good .
my exp with CD players was not that positive ....CD6003 had issues within one year ...it was repaired ... SA8005 was faulty right out of the box ...but MZ audio replaced it with a new one and that's working fine till date ...
My exp with MZ audio has been positive ...as far as time is concerned ...they procure parts from Singapore ...so there will delays ....

Any user of UD5007 or UD7007 blue ray player for CD play and Flac play through USB. Now oppo bdp prices have gone up in US. So I want to try UD5007 for my decent CVblue ray collection and Flac collection. Opinions on this please....
