Query: Short Life

When the receiver worked, I really enjoyed the way it sounded. However, after about 1 year it died. Turned it on one day, smelled burning plastic and heard some crackling noises, and then it went out - never to come back to life.As far as receivers go, I didn't pay that much for it, but I would still expect it to last longer than 1 year. I have a receiver from the 70s that still kickin'. I guess they really don't make things like they used to.Next time, I think I'll spend a little more money and go with Pioneer, Onkyo or Denon and get the extended service plan!
