That's terrible! My Technics SA-EX140 OTOH, has no bad caps to be found.I have a 608 sitting about 10 feet away from me at the moment. I bought it new 10-11 years ago when they first came out. Mine's only partially dead (no HDMI functionality at all) and I consider myself lucky. If you do a Google search you'll discover that them dying is as common as the sky getting dark at night. Bad capacitors plague them as well as other parts stopping working.
Well, I checked both with Tuner and different speakers and cables, but still nothing! So I can say that I tried all! I have sound to my tv from PC but not to any of receivers!That's a pretty vague post....
That's like saying "Both my cars won't start, shall i sell them as scrap now??"
what sort of solutions have you tried? Plugged it into different devices? Maybe tried a different HDMI cable??

Think that was my previous one I actually miss it. I replaced it with a RX-V478 for the “new features” like Spotify Connect(which they kinda broke last update) but my old one definitely had better sound…9th birthday for my Yamaha RX-V573

Nah it’s a dead “standard” if it could even be considered that…even my pretty old SB ZX still has the same THX panel they’ve been using since the Audigy days…Semi off-topic, but I would suggest investing in THX certified speakers or AV units. THX is an independent body that tests equipment with very strict standards.
If the unit passes all of the tests (seems to range on up to 2000 different tests), it gets the THX certification, and you don't need to worry.

This. Onkyo quality and name rep has gone down the toilet.I have a 608 sitting about 10 feet away from me at the moment. I bought it new 10-11 years ago when they first came out. Mine's only partially dead (no HDMI functionality at all) and I consider myself lucky. If you do a Google search you'll discover that them dying is as common as the sky getting dark at night. Bad capacitors plague them as well as other parts stopping working. I quit turning mine off because I'm afraid it won't turn back on if I do. Great audio quality and they seemed like a true steal for the price when new but they appear to have the reliability of a Yugo.
The problems were so bad that Onkyo did an extended warranty program but mine started having issues after that program ended.
Onkyo acknowledges failed units and extending warrranties until 2018 | AVS Forum
Objective measurements. It never tells the whole story, but its the best place to start and will tell you how amp will perform and give you pretty good idea of how it will sound. Audioholics has a really good testing methodology, no sure who else is doing it, I've been out of audio for a few years but starting to get back into it.True, the standards change with time, and the certificate based on time of release, but I don't know of any other way to certify something.
Unfortunately some specs don't amount to much, in some cases a unit with slightly lesser specs can sound better.
A unit with 3000 4.5/5 reviews from non-professionals doesn't certify the unit has best possible audio.

Yamaha hands downWell, I already started looking for another make and think between Yamaha RX-V677 or Sony STR-DN1050 or other which supports 4K!
What is your advice as pro in this category!
