button, “ZONE 2 SOURCE” button, and “POWER”
button simultaneously on the AVR for a few
seconds until “INITIALIZED” appears on the
AVR’s display
•A jolt of static electricity
•Current surge through an input
Before resetting the microprocessor;
•Check all connections carefully
•Check for setup errors
•Back up your settings. You may also want to write down your preferred settings for easier task of setting up the AVR after reset.
Note: The Web (Browser) Control feature can be used to back up your settings by saving a configuration file on your hard drive. For this
feature, we recommend using one of the following web browsers: Internet Explorer 10 and above, Mozilla Firefox 24 and above, Google
Chrome 29 and above, and Safari 5.x and above.
Note: If you had an installer setup your system, please first contact your installer to see if they can reset and then setup your system again

ACCESSORIESWARRANTY 2 10
Resetting the micro is a procedure used to "reboot" the microprocessor to restore its
normal operation when it temporarily freezes, locks up, or behaves erratically. Resetting
the microprocessor, erases any saved settings you may have previously programmed
into the unit Issues that can affect the performance of the microprocessor:
Power/Standby
button
“M-DAX” button “ZONE2
SOURCE” button
Important: Back up the settings before resetting the microprocessor. Most settings are reset to the factory default values after
performing this procedure. This means that all the settings data will be completely lost if it’s not previously saved.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D Upgradeable
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound technologies dispense with channel-based coding in favor of object-based coding, giving the sound designer the
ability to precisely place sounds anywhere in the 3-dimensional space. The NR1604, features the ability to connect a 5.1 surround sound speaker system
and 4 additional overhead speakers (or 4 additional Dolby Atmos elevation speakers) for the ultimate home cinema experience. Thanks to the 11ch
processing capability, you can just add an external 2-channel amplifier and even enjoy a thrilling 7.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos or DTS:X experience. Dolby
Surround Upmixer and DTS Neural:X Upmixer are also in place to simulate 3D sound from standard formats.
Auro-3D Upgrade
By fully immersing the listener in a cocoon of life-like sound, Auro-3D puts you right in the middle of the action. Auro-3D provides an immersive surround
sound experience thanks to dedicated height and overhead channels, in addition to the regular channels. The height information, captured in recording or
created during the mixing process, is mixed into a standard 5.1 PCM stream that comes with a regular Blu-ray. Moreover, the Auro-3D engine recognizes
mono, stereo, 5.1 surround or an Auro-encoded signal and transforms them into 3D audio. Once upgraded with the Auro-Codec decoder, the NR1604 is
capable of decoding the original Auro-3D mix and playing back an Auro-3D 10.1 channel configuration (with external amplifier). Auro-3D upgrade
availability and pricing to be announced.

Firmware:
This unit has the ability to update its firmware over the internet if so is selected by the user. When connected to a network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the AVR
searches automatically for new updates and if any is found, a message appears on the screen for approx. 40 seconds with the options of updating the
firmware: “NOW”, “LATER”, or “IGNORE”. Note: This feature of displaying the update message, can be disable from the “Setup” menu
(Setup/General/Firmware/Notifications/Update or Upgrade/Off).
If the update process is interrupted, “Update retry” appears on the display and the unit tries repeatedly to continue the update until it either reconnects and
picks up where it left off and continue the update process or times itself out after trying several times. When the latter occurs, one of the following messages
will appear on the screen.
To Check for Firmware Update from the Marantz server when the unit is connected to the internet via the Ethernet port (When Firmware Notification is
turned off).
Press “SETUP” and select “GENERAL” and then select “FIRMWARE” followed by “UPDATE” and finally, select “CHECK FOR UPDATE”.

1. If no protections have occurred, “No Protect” is
displayed
3. If the last protection was ASO, “ASO” is displayed.
Cause: A short circuit occurred between the speaker terminals, or speakers with an impedance outside the rating were connected. If the power is turned on
during this abnormality, protection is activated after around 5 seconds and the power is turned off.
4. If the last protection incident was DC protection
Cause: DC output of the power amplifier is abnormal.
If the power is turned on without correcting the abnormality, the protection function will work about 5 seconds later and the power supply will be shut off.
5. When the last protection incident was THERMAL(A) or
THERMAL(B) protection, THERMAL A or B is displayed
Cause: The temperature of the heat sink is excessive.
If the power is turned on without correcting the abnormality, the protection function will work about 5 seconds later and the power supply will be shut off.
