This may or may not be relevant..
I have an HDMI monitor that failed the edid most times (like your 'works occasionally') and I tried all the recommended RPI settings for HDMI without success.
Then discovered that the monitor (substitute your AVR) had an extremely fast time-out on start-up...
If I started the monitor before the Pi and was too slow starting the Pi then the monitor timed out and the Pi could not find it...
If I started the Pi first then by the time the monitor booted the Pi had found no suitable device and that was that...
Finally, having twigged to the timing, I was able to start both and have the Pi detect the monitor correctly.... Once I found the sequence I am able to boot both consistently..
No idea (blind venison ?) if this is your problem but in the absence of other fixes I thought to post my experience...as usual...ymmv and i may be way off beam...
Cheers,
Bob
