1068 gets hot

[tonych31]

Hi

I got a 6 months old Rotel 1068. Lately, even if it is off or standby mode, it gets hot than normally it should. Is this normal for the 1068 ?
I have to turn it off from the mains after each use.

Hey Tony,

What do you mean "off from the mains"? Do you mean the switch at the back of the unit? Or the main ac power cord?
By my experience & knowledge, being off it should not get warm nor should it at standby.

BTW, is it being well ventilated?

Hi Itai

I have to turn it off from the main ac power cord so that it doesn't get warm.
Even if it is on standby, it is still very warm. Is this normal ?

It's normal if you leave Zone2 on. Hit the zone button twice on the front and it should turn it off.

Sounds faulty to me, suggest you take it in for service.

My 1068 can very warm if used for a long period of time, but only with moderate volume levels. Last week I noticed zone 2 was left on overnight and it was barely warm. My wife also left the main zone on two nights ago and it wasn't warm at all. I think it's ventilation or something inside, IMO.

Thanks for the advise. I have turned off the zone2 last night. Will keep you posted with the result.

Turning off Zone2 pulled the trick. Now it is not warm at all.

Thanks Kevin
