Best praise vs top criticism for Marantz CINEMA 50
“I don't think it's too good to be true. The Marantz Cinema 50 is just a higher margin Denon X3800H. So of course they can discount it more. And if you check the warranty status on this, you're likely not covered. A lot of the time when dealers liquidate excess inventory on eBay, the warranty is forfeit. If that's something that's important to you, you need to double check that you're actually getting a valid warranty with this.”
“Um, what? The Cinema 50 has a 5 year warranty. When a product is suspected defective, most people opt to utilize the warranty by contacting their dealer, a service center, or the manufacturer…. not post on Reddit about “legal recourse”. If you think it’s defective GET IT SERVICED.”
