Started to have issues with SR8012, purchased in Apr 2020 (around 7 months ago). A couple of weeks ago first HDMI input stopped working (it starts for a couple of seconds then loses signal and starts in 5 seconds again- endless loop). I started to use another input- it worked for a week or so and went out like the first one. One by one all HDMI inputs went out - it took two- three weeks.
I remember problems with Onkyo HDMI boards, basically, it was the same behavior. I used to have two Onkyo receivers manufactured in 2012, both had similar HDMI issues (the only discern was that Onkyo lost all HDMI inputs at once not step-by-step). In 2016 Onkyo ran a special repair program free of charge, I took advantage of it and they repaired both receivers. In 2019 the problem with HDMI boards came back to my both receivers, there was no free repair program anymore and I decided to replace Onkyo and bought Marantz receivers, didn't want to dive into the same problem again. I have been mistaken. Marantz seems to be even worse than Onkyo, they don't have any free repair program (yes, I will send my receiver to them and they should fix it under warranty but at least Onkyo offered free packaging material, free shipment, and free pick-up, and it was outside the warranty period, Onkyo really tried to resolve their problems though it didn't work very well).
I hope my experience will help someone make right choice nad never buy Marantz.
