Sorry to hear of your predicament.
I thought the 5007 was a good move by them, but as I read on, i could feel your torture.
You think it's just Marantz or do you think Denon would be as problematic too?
Had a negative experience: I shared with a good friend how good the UD7006 was. He bought it, but both our units performed very differently.
My unit had simultaneous output, both hdmi and analog. His unit only had one output. When switched from digital to analog, no sound. When analog is set and switched to hdmi, no sound. This is on different inputs of the 5005 receiver.
So we got an exchange for a new unit. Same problem.
I emailed Marantz, and followed up with a couple more in a span of 2 weeks. I got a reply on acknowledging my email. And it was cricket town on my following reply, and follow ups.
Good thing my SR7005 is a Made In Japan unit. It's never broken down or given me problems at all, and I was fortunate to get a good working UD7006.
In the end, my good friend went for an oppo, while I'm still enjoying my 7006.
