I can not get my receiver to output sound to the speakers.

It did before.

The tuner does not work, or the DVD, etc.

Any ideas what to try?

....

Output power transistor or caps are good bets...electrolytics are
generally first to go...

The only real chance of fixing this is if it is a bad output selector
switch. That is not unusual tho. I imagine you are going to find the
entire audio output section is an IC on a big heat sink that you can't
find anywhere.
I had one of these on my desk at work (Pioneer) that I just hard wired
to the FM tuner because that switch was bad. It went out with the
trash when they took the office apart after I retired. There is
another one in the shop (Sony) with a bad switch that is probably
going in the trash the next time I purge stuff I am never going to
fix.

That one's new enough that's quite probably the case...

I have an ancient ca. 1969 Kenwood that is solid state but still
individual transistors. The power transistors are still available;
replaced them about 5 year ago now; finding the large electrolytics was
a challenge...a couple I ended up not replacing (or actually went back
to the originals as the new failed very quickly when I just swapped out
all on general principles of being 40 years old...

... you've probably tried all of these ..
Have you tried all speaker jacks - front & rear ?
Headphones jack working ?
Any re-set buttons on the speakers ?
Partially stuck A/B speaker button ?

Any practical jokers in the house ?

Only practical joker is me, but I do not think I did anything. :-)

Speaker fuses? Either with access covers in the back or after you take
the cover off.

Speaker selection switch. I have a very expensive table radio, the
only one outside of the car that gets WAMU and C-Span radio well**, both
about 40 miles from here. It's about 34 years old and has a button to
switch from stereo to monaural, or something like that, and for the last
4 years, it I touch the button, it might lose sound. It's getting worse
and when it's messed up, about twice a year, I have to touch it just
right to get it to work again. Eventually I'll open it up and bypass
solder the switch in one position.

Also the on/off button is touchy. If I don't touch it right, it
responsds twice, off then on again, or vice versa. I normally want
the sleep switch anyhow and if that gets touched twice it goes from 60
minutes to 59 left.

**In the office I use the computer for those stations and in the kitchen
I watch TV.
