I didn't mean in terms of a wide spread problem. But my brother has the SONY STR DE945 and one of his optical inputs died.

Owners of dusty houses that leave the plugs off the optical inputs and can get them filled with dust and obstruct the optical signal. My brother (also an electrical engineer) cleaned his dead input and it was not dust or cable related failure but a hardware failure.
