I'd just make sure to check the main fuses. I've revived two receivers this way that are still ticking.

Hmm well I guess I could attempt to fix it but honestly I was kinda just holding on to it because it worked decently enough. Not really sure I feel like pulling it apart to mess with the insides.

Otherwise it seems like Onkyo is the popular choice here and there are a couple competing options so I will look at those as well. But I'm not too worried about losing the HK remote, I've yet to lose a remote for anything and I have a logitech harmony that I use as my primary option.

it's super easy... usually there's a fuse on the back near the power cord, or just under the hood somewhere. it's like 4 tiny screws holding the top on, just pop it off and look for a fuse. Should take you 30 seconds.

I guess to clarify, the receiver still powers on, just no sound comes out. That said I guess it couldn't hurt to check the fuse right?
