My 10-year-old Marantz RC 5200 has broken (error messages initially and then went completely unresponsive and cycling through black screen-blank screen-beep, reset and restore do not work, PC does not connect to it any more).
1)Do you think this old model still can be repaired by Marantz or some service centre (I am in the UK). Any contacts? Marantz Europe web site does not have any.
2)I think repair is unlikely so replacement is possible. Which remote is today’s equivalent? I am so behind things and would appreciate an overview of makes and models. I need one with medium to large colour touch screen, ability to completely customize screen layouts (different shapes of buttons, text), good range of hard buttons, excellent PC editing software, comprehensive codes database, no RF required (but OK if present). What else? Hmmmm, that’s it. Unless I do not know a of a new good feature… Is WiFi functionality useful and for what? Are there remotes with full itunes integration (e.g. playlists, artwork on screen etc)?
budget: 100-1000 GBP
Would appreciate advice.

Well, after several deaelers in London disappointingly bumped me off saying it cannot be repaired, one dealer finally said that there is in fact a Marantz repair centre and kindly provided their details. Googel for Sontec if you need to repair a Marantz remote
Sontec have now received my remote and provided a quotation of abt 100 GBP and I hope they do repair it.
All is not lost!
