I bought a Technics SH-AC500D new, and after a good 5 years of daily use, the DTS processor died. Everything else still worked, but it no longer recognizes or decodes DTS. I believe the DTS processor was a separate module, since it wasn't included in bass management.

I have a B&K reference 20. There was electrician working in my home this summer. The processor was on while I was away. From what I know they had to shut off the electricity many times. Since then everything work...except for the surround sound. Was it caused by age or by turning electricity on and off many times? I don't know.

They only thing I know is that I need a need preamp-processor and it won't be a B&K. I would have had to send it to the states for repair. The service centre here only services product that are "new".

I do not know how this is relevant since it is such old technology/hardware but, afaik, mine is still working. It was when I put it in the storage closet several years ago.

As for failure, in general, I have had more problems with hardware failures, new out of the box, than further down the line.
