Today I turned on my receiver to listen to some cds, and my receiver only functioned in 3 channel stereo and in stereo modes. I turned it off hoping the problem would go away, but it didnt. I flipped through each a/v input to see if the problem occured for all components, and it did. When I went back to cd, the digital optical input no longer worked. My receiver is a Mitsubishi M-VR800. I only had it for about a month and it already kicked over on me. Should I take it back to get fixed or replaced? I've heard a lot of bad things about this receiver, and mine died in a month so I'm questioning whether or not I want to keep it. It doesnt have a lot of features that I want. It doesnt have component inputs, 5.1 inputs, no DTS and np phono input. I was already looking for a new receiver for me to buy in the future so I dont know if it would be worth it to get it fixed. Also I bougt the floor model so it only costed me $300. If I return it and get my money back, I wont have enough money to buy a new receiver. Well If anyone has some input for me about what I should do, PLEASE help me. This is making me freak out.
PS. Its funny as soon as I upgraded all my cables and bought new PSB Image3LRs, my receiver had to die. hahaha..oh man.

By all means, return the unit and get a refund. If you only have the $300 to work with, consider the Phillips AV receiver. I think you would be quite impressed by how the Phillips receiver will sound for that kind of money.If you had $400 to spend, I would look for a used or demo Denon 2800 AVR.
I took the receiver back last night and they told me since it was a floor model they cant give me a refund or anything. I hate teh fine print on the back of receipts that say products sold AS IS can not be returned. My only option is to get it repaired, which they will do for free becuase i got a warranty on it. It sucks but I guess its better then nothing.
If you can get your money back or even a credit, my advice is to return it and get something else. Many years experience with owning stuff makes me say if it breaks, it ain't worth owning (not always, but in general) Especially if it breaks in the first month. Return it even if you can't afford the one you want right now, A month from now you'll be better off.
