In this video I use a FNIRSI 2C53T 2 Channel Oscilloscope, Signal Generator, DMM Device to bench test a Marantz 2285B Stereo Receiver that was just serviced. I find that it works very well for testing preamp functions and the stereo functionality of FM tuners. It has a few shortcomings that make it challenging to do a max clipping power test but I am hopeful that the manufacturer can address some of these issues with future firmware updates.
