Query: Piece of crap!

I bought this item almost three years ago. It has steadily had one failure or another. SOund/Picture goes out periodically. I've owned all sony recievers throughout my life. I bought this 7.1 for the blue ray, but it started to fail around 9 months old. If it wasn't for the Sony XBR TV, and Sony Blue Ray, I'd buy a Pioneer or Onkyo. Bad investment!
