I support this recommendation:  I had an STR-550 for I don't know how
long, and it was always on the blink.  It started with the tuner going
bad, which kept going bad no matter how many times I got it fixed.  Then
the remote, then the display, then the front panel controls.  I usually
only listened to CDs, and if I left it turned on (always) and left it in
AUX mode it wouldn't complain.  Since I'm pretty lazy, I was somewhat
satisfied to keep it in that condition...
