TX-SR707 sound intermittent, 2.25 years old

Hello, I have this receiver hooked up for surround sound on my TV and everything has worked great until recently.

When I turn on my TV, DirecTV receiver, and Onkyo TX-SR707, I see picture but no sound. If I turn off the Onkyo receiver (leaving the other equipment on), wait a few seconds, turn the receiver back on, sometimes the sound will work (and be good the rest of the day if everything left on) sometimes it still doesn't work. I have had to turn the receiver on/off up to 8-10 times before I get sound.

Any alternative to taking the unit in for repair?

thanks in advance
