I'm new to this forum, and also a relatively new AVR-507 owner. Actually, I've just assembled a completely new system. So far, I love the sound, although the logic takes a bit of getting used to. Anyway, I've noted that the unit generates a fair amount of heat, especially when I'm enjoying music at rather generous listening levels. My unit is on a shelf in my rack in a cabinet, with about 3.5 inches above for vent space, per the manual. However, I've recently put a thermometer in there to veryfiy the temperature, and have found that it has risen as high as 119 degrees F. I'm driving it in 5 channel mode. Is this type of heat generation normal? Can any other 307 or 507 owners chime in and advise is this is normal and appropriate?
I'm looking at cooling fan solutions, but haven't found just the right one yet.
Please let me know if there are others out there with this concern, or others that have taken action to cool things down.
