How to control bass and treble on old av receiver

michael908 · Sep 8, 2013

Hi i recently inherited an old home theater set up and decided to use it on my computer. I got it all hooked up (just 2 speakers for stereo) and everything except I don't have the remote for the receiver and have no idea how to set the treble and bass. When i was using the speakers on my weak little 20watt tripath the speakers sounded great with a little adjustment to the treble and bass. I have an marantz sr7000 that im using now, thanks for any help.

2 problems with that, It assumes you have a remote and have it connected to a tv. Will a cheap universal remote like this work?

Is yours the DSR7000?

boju · Sep 8, 2013

thought it might have been, think DSR7000 is a phillips searching DSR7000.

michael908 · Sep 8, 2013

No it's SR7000.

boju · Sep 8, 2013

Thought you might have been in luck. Oh well, it might work, not sure why its claiming Marantz for. Need to read into it.

This is better help. Codes to program for the Marantz for the universal remotes that are mentioned at the very top.

michael908 · Sep 8, 2013

Ahhhh thanks a lot. So if i buy any cheap universal remote i can program the codes into it and it should work?

boju · Sep 8, 2013

Not sure if any cheap remotes, could be im not sure. Logitech would be a worthwhile choice to look at if its cheap enough. At least one where you can program it using a computer. Some universal remotes require the original remote to copy the signals over.

Search google on Logitech universal remote for more results

your Best option if you're buying an inexpensive remote control is the Harmony line of remotes.

Hmm okay thanks for the help. I'll just grab a harmony and cheap universal remote on my next trip to Walmart and return whichever one doesn't work since they are the easiest with returns.

dingo07 · Sep 9, 2013

what i don't understand is why you don't use the front panel to navigate the menu... is it broken? don't you have a cheap display to connect to it to see the menu?

boju · Sep 9, 2013

Marantz, Yamaha, Onkyo are some of the receivers i know they having extra menu stuff only viewed through an external display being a TV. The front panel with the built in display can access some of these functions, the rest needs the remote + TV display.

michael908 · Sep 9, 2013

The osd can only be accessed with a remote it's from the era of "lose the remote and you're screwed".

boju · Sep 9, 2013

It still is that era. On-screen displays are a fairly recent feature - five years ago, you would be hard-pressed to find a sub-$800 unit that featured it.

michael908 · Sep 9, 2013

Well i tried the cheap $10 Phillips and no luck. Guess i'll have to get the harmony remote.

boju · Sep 9, 2013

Did you read the Phillips manual for the codes?

michael908 · Sep 9, 2013

Yes, i tried the marantz specific one and the 9999 one.

michael908 · Sep 10, 2013

Ok i bought the harmony 650 remote and i can get some basic functions to work with it but no way to control anything i couldn't before without it.

boju · Sep 10, 2013

Its gonna be closest you're gonna get i think, keep trying, should be able to do more.

michael908 · Sep 10, 2013

Yeah i played around with it for a little while longer and looked on the internet. I found this guide and got it to work.
