Sell while the going is good. There are so many interesting AVR castoffs at the thrifts that another will come along.
Because why wouldn't you pass along a potential problem to someone else? Unless of course that is disclosed

My big, beautiful Pioneer Elite VSX-55TXi refuses to power up. She's 15 years old. Mothballs or do I start throwing money at her?
I agree. If the money was in my pocket I'd buy the Onkyo 820 599 at Crutchfield
I love my TOTL Yamaha AVRs but once they die they are headed to the recycler.Pretty much goes for any AVR I own.
Guys what is TOTL?
Not. Unfortunately, it can likely be replaced more cheaply than it can even be diagnosed, much less fixed.
Quite bloody likely. I mean replaced with a used one. I have a hard time believing you didn't understand that. Seven years ago I bought a used Kenwood AVR (VR-206, by no means TOTL but more than adequate for my purposes). It's still working and sounding great. Fifty bucks, and it was suggested to me that I overpaid.I know this thread has been resolved, but not bloody likely! Buying the equivalent receiver in today's dollars would probably be at least $2500. Hell it was $1700 retail back then.
I recently had a Yamaha RX-V850 repaired with multiple blown ICs and it cost me $100. Small price to pay IMO considering the quality of the unit. Yeah, I could've gotten another one used for around $100, but then you don't know what you're getting.
And I was able to support a locally-owned business!
FWIW, a high percentage of the Yamaha I get work great. There are a couple models that are known to be flacky but not many.
Also FWIW, pre-HDMI stuff nearly always works fine.
My parts come to about 55 bucks. Maybe Christmas I can get a better reciever. I have audiophile taste on a low low budget. Lol
