Fuses and confusion

I am slowly upgrading my system and I am looking at the changing of fuses step. I have the following in my system:  Sunfire TGA-7401, Marantz AV8805, Carver Load Invariant amplifier, Marantz Ruby, and a Vault 2i. My questions are 1). Which of these components have\use fuses 2). Does changing the fuses invalidate the warranty? 3). Are there videos on changing the videos or do you just pop the hood and start looking. Please feel free to point out issues that I am not aware of and whether this is even relevant under my circumstances. Thanks in advance.

Read oldheavymech's reply touting qualifications. Anyone can type what they want and make claims for things that can't be checked. For instance I am a Nuclear Physicist and the first Astronaut to land on Mars where I had to personally maintain all equipment from the 7nm lithographic IC's to the hydraulic motors and lines. Those little 7nm parts were really hard to see but I did it.

Again, thanks to everyone for the feedback. I took the fuses out of my two amps and looked at them and found the following:
Sunfire TGA-7401 has three fuses:                                                                    1 BUSSMDA 15 A 15 amp 250 v   and the marking beside the fuse says 15 amp MDA 15                                                             
      2 BUSSMDL 6 1/4 A 250 v             and the marking beside the fuse says 6 amp MDL/Q
Carver Load Invariant has three fuses:                                                               1 10A 32V 313                              and the markings beside the fuse says 120 VAC 50/60 Hz AC line Fuse                                                               
       2 6 1/4 A 250V 313 2-5 Amp       and the markings beside the fuse says SLO-BLO MDL/Q 
I was wondering if someone can decipher these markings and translate for me into SR orange specifications for which fuses to replace them.
Thank you,

I apologize I tried to format the text but when I posted it the text reformatted itself.
