Well either on fire or in the front yard with a shattered window.... I think that's why I'm so resistent to the idea of moving from my 3808. It's going on two years now without one single issue. A new record for me. Crap, I've just jinxed myself.

Laura, have you considered the 4810 verses the 4310? The price difference may be less than you think, and you will get both height and width channels with the 4810. Just a thought, seeing how you about to blow some money.

I have my 5 years old Sony AVR having problem with the center channel before, the sound comes and go and with noises in between or totally no sound.

I got mad and bang on it, and the sound came back....before I sold it off, I ask my neighbor who is an electrician to check out for me, and when he return the Sony to me, he told me that, it's the dust that's causing the problem, use a small blower or vacuum cleaner to blow/suck away the dust solved the problem. he just clean the interior and the AVR sounded as good as new.

I've told the same to some of people here when they have the "no sound" problem...they clean it, and it does fixed the problem.

Maybe the dust in the 3808 connector just fell off so it worked again.

anyway, good luck on your 4310..it's a nice AVR.

Laura,

Sorry to hear you are having problems. I have the 3808 and love it.

I have several Denon devices and find the internet to be a great place to troubleshoot. Have you tried searching to see if anyone else has had the problem and come up with a solution?

Thanks for the continued thoughts. I have searched elsewhere and now the problem is intermittent and I believe maybe heat related that may trigger something to connect. Nonetheless, I am committed to the 4310 and will start fresh. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll keep you posted on the the 4310 when I get it and get it set up.
Laura
