and output quality, using an oscilloscope, volt meter and speakers. Receiver ran continuously into
a load for approximately 48 hours and all functions tested perfectly. The Marantz 2226B was originally
rated for 26 watts, but both internal power amplifiers on this unit
produced 17.5 volts at 8 ohms for 38 watts per channel (audio output type T03P).
