I don't know if I was cursed with bad luck or what d to drop the Marantz line because SO MANY products came with problems. On one order of 4 SR8300's, I had to send back 3 for service right out of the box. I have had about a 75% failure rate on the DVD players ever since the first one! And the DV-4300 did not pass correct black levels! Marantz was always great with customer service and returns but I could not afford the sheer number of problems.

Now I avoid them like the plague. I switched to Integra and have had no problems at all in about a year.
