Power supply from the main electric switch comes on and off 8 to 10 times a day here at my place. What would you suggest I use: AVR or UPS?

AVR is a device used for stabilizing the electric current that youre computer is using. UPS is a device used to give you uninterruptable power so you can save stuffs and shut down your computer.

You need a UPS.
An AVR, or Automatic Voltage Regulator only smooths out voltage spikes and sags. It does not provide any protection for power outages. They are useful in industrial settings that already have reliable no-break power but where voltage fluctuations are common due to heavy loads being applied and dropped.
A UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply, provides power when the electrical supply is interrupted. Virtually all UPS units also function as AVRs as well so there is no need to use both.

I would suggest that you buy UPS rather than an AVR since AVR is used for regulating the voltage that comes out from your electrical socket, while the UPS has atleast 10mins so in that case you still have time to turn off your PC,this way you can protect your hardware especially the hard disk... : )
Note: You have to decide ofcourse the watts of the UPS that you'll be buying, usally computer these days have a 500watts power supply...and also depends on what you will be plugging on the UPS(for example i have a 500 watts CPU and 260 watts embroidery machine,plus the speaker,scanner,etc. so i bought 1000watts UPS).
"Ofcourse the UPS has a buit in AVR."

Use UPS because it already has an AVR.

Having worked in audio for about 10 years I even have attached and set up many manufacturers in the direction of installation reflects and from time to time helping out with installations. i come across Denon to be somewhat common. you do no longer specify what part of the set up you're having problem with. attempt rereading the instruction manual very heavily. if to procure the receiver from a community save, ask for their help over the telephone. they could have the flexibility to instruct you thru your situation. in case you nonetheless have subject that's a stable theory to get somebody like firedog to help.
