yes MARKV i totally agree i owned a Harman kardon AVR-435 that did the same-thing and it was new.... i had it fix under warranty ( the technician told me the same-thing that you said).
however (FLORIDA _ 300zx) ? you had this ac curring problem over the last couple of years"? three to four occurrances of that nature would drive me crazy

Its definitely not overheating, becuase the problem persists sometimes even when I turn it on for the first time of the day. I did shake it, and could not hear anything loose in the sub/amplifier.

It really does drive me crazy...I work with what I have though, I am in college right now and not exactly rolling in the cash. If the problem persists though, I guess I will look for decent used receiver. Thanks for all the input guys
