4-Year Standard Geek Squad Protection

I don't buy this product for everything.. but on receivers its great. I bought a receiver black friday 2015 and it died before the extended holiday return policy was up, so I exchanged it for another and then made sure i bought the GSP. Well, that receiver died again 13 months later. Best buy reimbursed me the full receiver cost due to the receiver being under manufacturers warranty still(didn't send out to repair facility which could happen if you're out of manufacturers warranty) and I bought a different brand, hopefully this receiver lasts longer, but if not, I made sure to buy the plan again. Something this expensive, the core of your home theater is worth it, I also highly recommend it on headphones.

Most of us pay $10-$12 a month to insure our smart phone. For $89, I am insuring a $500 A/V receiver for $.53 a month. That is value and peace of mind. I just replaced my past A/V receiver after the HDMI pass thru card went out after only having it for three years. I could have really used this insurance plan. Knowing that I am 100% covered if anything goes wrong and that I can bring it into any Best But shop and have Geek Squad repair or replace my new receiver and I am covered for four years, that lets me sleep a whole lot better at night. I know many people think the insurance plans are a waste of extra money. Wait until something happens, and you will be happy you insured a big purchase.

Never buy electronics without protection. Not much more to say... Panasonic used to be my favorite brand... purchased the ultra high def b-ray player, 999$ died 2 weeks after purchase. Glad I had Best but on my side. Manufacturer was going to have it for 3 months or more. Shipping payed by me? Also purchased Phillips ultra player (has Panasonic chip/good reviews) died in a week. Glad I had Geek squads protection. My top of the line Sharp ultra HD tv has been repaired and looks like it needs more. Again protection is helping me. Thank you Berry and team.

Even though the Pioneer AVR I bought has a 3-year warranty, which is not bad, I didn't want to have to deal with Pioneer in case there is a problem. It's just a lot easier to have Best Buy handle things if there's a problem. In this case, the cost of the extended warranty also bought an extra year, but the main reason is to be able to get things taken care of without having to find an authorized Pioneer repair place.

Very much like the Yamaha line of receivers. They are easy to setup and provide a number of advanced features. My only complaint is that listening almost felt as though the music had been dried out too much within the D to A conversion. Was able to fix it with a little bit of advanced adjustment but would have loved to not need any changes.
