Onkyo 606 heat

[admin_exported]

Hi there,just wondered if anyone has had any problems with the heat on this unit,i had mine in the benno tv bench from ikea the sides are open but there is only about less than half inch at the top of the unit and it is getting quite hot to the touch.I got that worried that i took it back, and got my sony es1200 back,did i give the 606 a fair crack i dont think i did,maybe because it got that hot it panicked me a bit,but with that said i am getting the 606 back to give it a proper try out,how does the cooling work on these do they suck air in the bottom of the unit?Should i be worried.Or should i just stick with the 1200? If i had to install a fan to assist ventilation what would be the best way to go about doing it?

A fan would help but not much - like most receivers, the Onlyo needs space around it, and half an inch is several inches too few

They cool by convection, and as a result need airspace above them to let the hpt air rise.
