Hey folks, I recently purchased a Yamaha rx v677 and wednesday last week (after around 8 days use) the video output stopped functioning completely.
Reset the AVR through the menu on the front of the device and nothing, I managed to get a glimpse of video output for about 5 seconds but it was all distorted, red and green dots before it disappeared again.
I sent it back for RMA and am now awaiting their confirmation that the video card has borked itself.
So my question is, is this a common occurance on modern AVR's or have I just been very unlucky? The manager on the phone was sympathetic and said it's unusual for Yamaha to be unreliable.
I have to decide now when he calls me back whether I get another 677 Yamaha or get a refund/try something else. I was tempted to try the Sony 1050 for a bit extra investment.
What are your opinion regarding trying another Yamaha?
Thanks
Mike
