I've got a 1067 which runs rather hot, and I'm aware that that's the norm. I'm about to place it in a custom wall unit and need a little info regarding the use of fans and a 12v trigger.
What I'd like to do is use 2 accessory computer fans to circulate the air. One would pull in air from the basement below, and the other would pull air out of the cabinet through a ventilation slot above the AVR.
The only problem is that I don't know what to buy and how to set it up. I read an earlier post which suggested hooking a fan/fans into a power supply which was then put into the "switched" outlet on the back of the 1067. The problem is that it doesn't have one.
Can I use the 12v trigger to somehow turn off/on a power strip that is then hooked up to the fans?
I spoke to a guy at Radio Shack who said I could (and he has set it up for other customers) if the Rotel 12v trigger is the kind that just pulsed on/off rather than actually supplying power.
Do any of you know if the 12v trigger is that kind or does it supply 12v power. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Craig
