I've been to the Square Trade site. I don't have to buy the warranty from Amazon when I purchase the receiver.

I can go to the Square Trade site and purchase it up to 30 days after I buy it from Amazon, which is what I'll have to do.

It's $129.99 for a 3 year warranty. This covers home audio components valued in the $750-999 range. I didn't see a plan for home audio component over $999. Anyway, this means that the plan will pay out up to $999 in repairs on the warrantied component, or what you paid for it, whichever is the lesser amount.

I'd probably go for the 3 year instead of the 2 year, because my last Pioneer broke after the 2 year warranty was up. This will at least guarantee I'll get 3 years of good service out of it before it explodes, or something. My look seems to go that way.
