Lucky thing is under warranty. I hope all will be well after this repair
True,
But given hindsight, I would prefer it not being spoilt at all - de dwntime n not to mention de hooking and unhooking de in'connects n cables alone scares me..

i never have avr failure yet, from yamaha (2009) to marantz (2005) and marantz (2013) again. all of them still working
got a friend's pioneer vsx523 spoiled just a few days
Lets see, my Panny digital avr died on me - at least its digital connexion did - analog still ok - weird
My ol Marantz dpl avr went on for at least 4 yrs n then I upgrd to de 4200 n tat went on for anthr 3/4 yrs n upgrdd again to pioneer 911 , which l m still using in a secondary system - n now, latest Marantz 7002 - hmmnn l tink abt 4 yrs now - touch wood - still goin strong....
To me, reliability n durability is important - I wont touch any brands tat has bad rep for tat..
