First, let me explain my modest HT setup. After 12 years, I retired my 65" Panasonic Plasma and replaced with 85" Samsung QN90A. I need to upgrade my AVR to one which handles 4K and Dolby Atmos. My 7 year old Yamaha does not. I have a 5.1 surround setup with L C R, BL, BR and sub. I...

The real bummer is that my $2000 Yamaha AVR which is only 5 years old is now almost worthless because it doesn't do 4K and atmos. How long will my next AVR be relevant? hahah That's how it goes.

Call for service and get it repaired. They will give you the B/S of it not being covered under the warranty because it is a neglect issue in that you did not keep the filters clean. Lean on them and they will agree to fix it "this one time only". I believe they have a product defect on their...

no one has a comment?

My PLV-70 is about 2.5 years old. Since new I've cleaned the filters once a month without fail. It has 800 hours of use over its 2.5 year life. I've just had it back to Sanyo to for a problem where it displayed a bluish circular area in the center of the screen. The technician said it is...
