Yesterday, while listening to music, my Yamaha stopped sending a sound to my speakers. The lights were still on (so it was still powered). I then turned it off and on and it finally started to work again only to cut out less than a minute later. This was replicated with radio, CD, and my iTunes. This helter-skelter behavior lasted for an hour or more.

I also noticed a click (inside the unit) before each cutout (resembling the sound it always makes when I turn it on). Since then, it cuts out much less frequently (only after several hours of play time).

Side note: I also noticed that my wireless router (plugged into same surge protector) had a yellow flashing light that comes on after a power outage).

Any ideas?

My RX730 receiver did the same thing. It got worse over a period of months. Finally I opened it, found that when I tapped a relay in the receiver it would cut the sound in and out. Trying to remember my long-forgotten soldering skills, I removed the relay from the printed circuit board. I took the cover off the relay, cleaned the contacts with fine sandpaper, and soldered the relay back onto the main circuit board.
Now it works fine again!
