Recently i was facing some issues with my Home Theater set up. The video was going on and off and it was getting quite irritating (audio was fine). I called up the TV folks and they said its not the TV's issue, but the AVR HDMI slot seems to be faulty. That made me call up the Yamaha service center in Kolkata and they suggested something which I was not expecting. I was told that all AVR's need to be serviced regularly and need to be opened up and cleaned, without which such issues are common and eventually the processor stops working.
I finally figured out that the cause of my current problem was a faulty HDMI cable. The set up works just like before once I replaced it.
But the question I want to put forth on this forum is, do we really need to service AVR's once every year? Does anybody do it regularly and does it have any benefits?
I was under the impression that its better not to fiddle around with electronics products unless its necessary.
