What should I do if my AV receiver turns itself off?
Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage and voltage (available from electronics parts stores such as RadioShack for about 50 cents a pop) and you should be back in business. If, after your fix, the receiver powers on, but then turns itself off after a few minutes, it’s possible something is physically damaged inside.
Is it possible that my AV receiver is toast?
A: It’s possible that your receiver is toast, but don’t give up hope yet. There are two things to check.

After a month or so I first noticed that while the SAT/CAB input for HDMI on the receiver was set to ‘pass through’, nevertheless, when the receiver was off, occasionally when trying to turn on only the cable box and TV one got video on the HDTV (Mitsubishi WD-82740) but no sound.
Why is my Onkyo ht-r391 receiver not power on?
I have an Onkyo HT-R391 receiver (part of a HT-S3500 HTIB system) which will not power on at all. I turned it off last night after using for several hours and it wouldn’t not turn back on this evening.
Where does HDMI cable go on Onkyo TV?

Is there a warranty on an Onkyo receiver?
Unfortunately my unit doesn’t qualify for that warranty extension and Onkyo warranties are only for 2 years I believe. I checked the fuse on the power supply and it looks intact to me. There were also a couple of fuses on whatever board is next to the power supply and they looked identically intact:
