MARANTZ MODEL 2325 SERVICE MANUAL INTRODUCTION This service manual was prepared for use by Authorized Warranty Stations and contains service information for the Marantz Model 2325 Stereophonic Receiver. Servicing information and voltage date included in this manual are intended for use by the knowledgeable and experienced technician only. All instructions should be read carefully. No attempt should be made to proceed without a good understanding of the operation of the receiver. The parts list furnishes information by which replacement part may be ordered from the Marantz Company. A belief description is included for parts which can be usually be obtained through local suppliers. 1.

AM TUNER The AM Tuner section in the 2325 consists of one IC, including an RF amplifier, local oscillator, mixer, IF amplifier, and detector, and three transistors, one of which forms a signal strength indication amplifier and the other two form detected audio signal amplifier. All components except the tuning capacitor and ferrite bar antenna are mounted on the printed circuit board P150. The AM signal induced in the ferrite bar antenna is fed to the RF amplifier input (Pin 12) and amplified to the level required for overcoming conversion noises, thus giving good S/N performance. The tuned circuit inserted in each of the output and input circuits of the RF amplifier assures very high image and spurious rejection performance. Thus the amplified and selected AM signal is then applied to one Mixer input (Pin 1). While the local oscillator voltage is injected to the other Mixer input (Pin16) through a capacitor C157. Then both AM signal and local oscillator output voltage are mixed and converted into 455kHz intermediate frequency. The resulting IF signal is applied to the IF transformer L153 consisting of one ceramic filter and two tuned circuits. www.freeservicemanuals.info 5/30/2017 Digitized in Heiloo Netherland
