can anyone tell me how to get rid of that god awful beeping. i had a bad transfer and the unit turned of and then marantz showed up on screen and a beep. it will do this non stop how do i get rid of this

You need to reflash the firmware. In Touch Screen Setup, it may take several attempts, but it will eventually connect and flash.

Tonto usually does a little better connection wise if you cannot get TSS to work after 20 or so attemps....

There is another possibility if you hit CANCEL during the download. If that is the case, here is the solution. When it says "rebooting," there is a beep; is this what you are talking about?

This is from the FAQs.

A6-04 How do I connect to the remote with Hyperterminal?
If your remote is constantly rebooting every few seconds, as in after you "CANCELLED" a CCF download in ProntoEdit, you can fix it via this method:
1.Connect your remote to your PC.
2.Open a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal, which is included with Windows).
3.Connect to the serial (COM) port your remote is hooked up to at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
4.Hit the reset button on the back of your remote control. On the terminal program you should start to see numbers such as "00 02 04", etc.
5.Hit the [ESC] key on your keyboard. A prompt, CABERNET> should appear.
6.Type dl ccf followed by return. You should see a slowly growing string of C's.
7.While those C's are appearing, download your CCF file to the remote using the XModem protocol (Transfer -> Send File).
8.When the download has finished, type go followed by the return key on your keyboard.
Your remote should now work correctly. This problem can also sometimes be fixed by attempting to upgrade the firmware while the remote reboots, however it may take many attempts to catch the remote at the right instant.

it said i dont have the right firmware where can i download the new ones

never mind thank you guys for the help got it all worked out.

I hate uncontrollable audio/visual annoyances too. Can anyone help me get my VCR to stop blinking 12:00?

Sure. Look at the back panel of the offending component. There should be several wires connected to it. There might be one or two white plugs, one or two red plugs, and one or two yellow plugs. Ignore thses. Then look for one or two thicker cables that screw on, like cable-TV wire. Ignore these, too.

Finally, there should be one more wire that looks like the wire that lights and TVs and other appliances come with. This last wire is usually the only one that can't be disconnected from the VCR. Follow this wire away from the VCR. It should be plugged into either a wall receptacle or a power strip.

Unplug this wire. Ta-daah! No more blinking numbers!

Glad I could help.

Thanks Larry, that did the trick! If you wouldn't mind helping further, my kids are complaining that their Sponge Bob videos no longer play. I've verified that both pair of yellow, red and white wires are connected to my Yamaha receiver, and the cable-tv wires are connected to my sat receiver and my tv. I have further verified that the offending wire, the one that is un-attachable from my vcr, is in fact disconnected, rolled up, and wire tied.

I have taken it to JVC in Cypress CA, and they said everything checks out just fine. It's a model HRS-C1000u. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is an easy one. A little duct tape will squelch the complaining of most children. Just wrap two or three layers around the head, being sure to cover the region between the nose and chin.
