The power went out while the DVD player's power was on during a thunderstorm. ( we weren't watching tv, just didn't think to shut it off because we weren't watching it)

The DVD player has a built in amp for the surround speakers. We get audio out of the tv speakers through the coax cable but none out of the surround speakers. (it sounds like garbled power surges out of the speakers) So I think possibly the amp got fried?

I don't know. But where could I take it to get it looked at/fixed? Does Circuit City deal with stuff like this. (It was a gift, so don't know where it was baught) I just want to pay to get it fixed.

I appreciate it.

Well... I was going to say that it's probably cheaper to buy a new one than to get it fixed, but then I see it's one of those home-theater-in-a-box deals... still, you could probably buy a new receiver of the same or better quality than what you have for what it'd cost to have that thing fixed. Unless it's still under warranty. (I'm assuming the DVD and VCR functionality still work, right?)

(I just picked the first one I found on Best Buy, that has to be as good as any HTIB)
