Leave a Review Marantz AVR Remote
Works great after off loading and reloading app
I’ve used this app for 5 years with 2 receivers, 6015 and 8015.
There are adjustments on the app you can’t do with the remote making the app necessary if you want to easily access deeper menus in the receiver.
I read some of the bad reviews and wonder if off loading the app and installing it again would help? I had to when I first added the app, I’ve had no problems since.
The app has been consistent and reliable. I use it several times a day and have no complaints.Show lessJC’s sound room
Required, but not intuitive.
I firmly believe that this is a requirement for the Cinema series as you can’t see on the front screen what speakers should be active etc, while using ARC. This app is able to provide this information and for that I am grateful.
For an easy way to manage the AVR just use the web view option as its laid out very sensibly. I pray this functionality is never changed or removed, only improved as needed.
The app however, could use some basic customization in regards to what should be displayed when the app is opened by default. I don’t want to click into info to see the active speakers etc. A good start would be to have the exact same menu layout you can get through the remote to be something you can scroll through in the app. Not all settings are available in the app that are through the remote and it’s not always clear if I’m in the wrong menu or the functionality is just not available in the app. Hopefully these suggestions can be taken into consideration.Show lessKlavmanian
Only Thing I Use
I don’t know what the problems are with people having difficulties with this app. With the occasional having to power down my Marantz SR 6014, I have found this app to be extremely useful. It has gone through several upgrades which have made it more stable at least for my receiver and I have been using it for three years now. I use this to do all kinds of adjustments while I’m watching content and hardly ever use the remote for anything. It feels like I’m the only one who really likes the app so it makes me query if some people just don’t know how to operate it or that their receivers are not able to connect with it properly. There are a myriad of reasons that this can be happening not the least of which is keeping up on updates or having a good Internet connection. We use ethernet to make sure that the connection to the Marantz is stable. I appreciate the work that has gone into the app and I just woud like the developers to know that I think they’ve done a good job.Show lessGrannyDar
AVR Remote App is Crap
This app is crap. I’ve had it for 2 1/2 years and nothing but problems. At least once a month, for first 2 years the app wouldn’t be able to find my Maranz devices. “Maranz AVR not found” was th motto. Solution is always, reboot your modem and router or unplug the device and then try reconnecting. I’ve had so many parties ruined because of this sound system or because sporting event audio wouldn’t play. Ridiculous. I don’t even bother with it anymore.
I’ve just gone Alexa speakers for music and a simple sound bar for my TV. Marantz system sounds good when the surround-sound works, but that’s not usually the situation. Don’t waste your time or money on the crap app and devices.Show lessShowless
Seldom recognizes my SR5011
I’ve put up with the inconsistent workability with this App for many years. It’s a running joke in my family as the kids guess what my complaint will be every time I use it. It’s gone from bad to worse as it no longer recognizes my receiver. I have to disconnect power from it and sometimes recycle power to my iPhone in the hopes it will recognize it. Eventually it says it can’t find a compatible receiver but the an SR5011 appears that I have to click on each time. I keep hoping the receiver will fail so I can get out of this brand. Sound is fantastic but frustration level is off the charts when it comes to control.Show lessmrscribbles48
Just OK. Needs Work
Just installed this app & using on my 8802A Processor. I plan on upgrading to the AV10 and wanted to see how this app works. In comparison to the old Deremote app, the navigation arrows are nowhere near as responsive to the older app. It really takes a while to get used to. This could use some improvement IMO.
While I’ve not had much time with the app so far, it’s great that there’s more info & options available. Marantz just needs to finds a way to improve the time it takes to navigate through the menu.Show lessTscan11
Reliable, but missing features
Mostly happy with the application. Was happier before I found out that everything else in my room had tie-ins to the Shortcuts app for macros except for this one, and it’s a little too critical a piece of gear to not have them. Looking around, this seems to be common to D+M apps in general, as HEOS is also missing shortcut support.
I’m running things through HTTPBot and API calls for now, but that is a paid product and neither the product nor the API collection is easily shared with family members. 5 stars once shortcut support is added.Show lessIHateTheseAppleThings
Rarely Works!
This app, had I known how horrible it is, would’ve been enough to make me buy a Yamaha instead of this Marantz.
Additionally, my Marantz receiver is so finicky. Sometimes when I change the channel on my DirectTv, the audio just dies. I’ve swapped the HDMI cable, and it still does it. I also swapped the boxes between my bedroom and living room, and the problem stays with the Marantz receiver. It’s still under warranty, but their customer service seems less than interested in assisting. Even after I told them I swapped the cable and the box, they claim it’s the cable or the box. Then they just told me to “take it to a repair center.” Zero communication about where one is, what companies they deal with to repair it, covering shipping and/or repair costs, or anything.
I wish I had just bought the Yamaha I was looking at.Show lessHMJr.
Don't Understand All The Negatives
I've used the app with a AV 7706 preamp for a couple of months & the only issue was resetting the network on the processor after installing a NetGear Orbi mesh router, why it was necessary I'm not sure but it worked.
The app has been fault free with quick response to commands & provides a lot of control options for the preamp. The app is really good for changing inputs which I use a lot switching from Xfinity to Roku & BluRay etc.
Sorry there's been so many user issues but for me it's been a good app. My only negative is the design is really boring with light text and backgrounds, could really use some color and high contrast graphics.Show lessJerryB747
Expect ALOT more from Marantz
Coming from Denon 4400h and 3400h I Almost cant believe Marantz is in the same parent company/ family from their respective apps perspecrive. The marantz app is barely adequate, trying to change inputs should be SIMPLE but nothing there except hdmi and 7.1 ch in !? I just want to switch to and from “tv audiio” for earc sound when im done playing video games. But nope, AVR tries to use auto and fails, and i cant change inout from app. Sad Also audio doesnt work half the time in tv audio with earc to my hisense u7g.
For over $2k for my sr6015 i feel cheatedShow lessMike Hackerts
