    Weird thing just happened with my RSX-1057.

    Hi guy's

    I had my 1057 running for couple hours last night watching some DVD's. Anyways after i was done, i went up to the receiver and put my hand on top of it to see how hot it got. And suddenly the Receiver just shut it self OFF....

    Now, i did not zap it or anything like that. I just put my hand on the surface of it and the receiver powered off. Is this normal?? Did it go into some kind of protection mode or something?

    Anyone had this happen with the 1055 or 1056??

    Weird...

    Cheers,

      You're not supposed to touch the receiver after it's been on for more then 30 minutes!! Are you crazy!

      Actually, the fact you put your hand on it tells me you think it MAY be running too hot. It could have been borderline on heat protection mode and a slight vibration from touching it might have kicked it over.

      So... Was it running too hot? I do know the Rotel receivers are pretty easy to confuse with even the slightest bit of static electricity. What's the temperature where you are at and did you have a de-humidifier running in the house?

          Running too hot: Yes, it was pretty hot on the surface. Even though i don't use the receivers amps it still gets very hot to touch.

          Temp: The house was around 26C

          De-Humidifier: I have the humidifier in the basement and i don't think it was on.

          I did not feel any static electricity when i put my hand on top. But my bonus room is carpeted. Maybe like you said kevin, slight touch might have confused it. Who knows. I will keep an eye on it to see if it hapens again. But so far so good.

          Thanks,

                  I have heard others say their 1055/56/57 runs hot. Mine only just ever got warm and now I run the mains from the 1070, it barely gets warm. I've watched a few movies in a row at loud volumes and still find it just warm to the touch and there's only about 3cm gap btwn the top of the unit and the shelf above.

                  Is there any technical reason why 2 machines the same should run at different temperatures?

                  oaqm, I have fairly unstable power in my area - frequent blackout/brownouts. Any time the power is interrupted with my 1055 in stand-by, it will turn itself on again once power is restored. It doesn't seem to remember it's last state as most of my other electronics do.

                          oaqm,

                          Just checked out your setup website. Love the custom design. Where are the lights on the front situated? are they in the top/underside of the cabinet? Do they add heat into the system?

                          Tony.

                                  Ahh,

                                  From your orig pics I though they were the standard 12v round down lights. I might look into these, Thanks oaqm.

                                  ICEMAN - sorry for hijacking your thread. I'll be good now I promise.

                                      Hey that OK adinfinitum,

                                      oaqm,

                                      Why did you decide to have the center speaker on top instead on the bottom. Your early drawings showed bottom placement?

                                              Title pretty much says it all. Whenever I see a thead about a rotel component running hot I always check my 1068 and sure enough its always hot to the touch. When the weather is hot it gets hot enough where I wouldnt want to keep my hand on it for any length of time (my apartment has terrible air...

                                              I just got a 1098 a couple weeks ago (love it). Mine is in a cabinet that is completely enclosed, but I am using a series of fans to pull the hot air out of the cabinet. I think there is good airflow, and...

                                              Hey everybody. I'm a Rotel noob. Coveted the equiment for years and finally got my first one, a Rotel RSX-1056. Older yes, but totally fits my needs (mostly audio, some HT, don't run HDMI through receiver). Anyway, I've noticed it gets pretty warm...way warm actually. In the past 3 years, give or take,...

                                              I noticed that my 1570 after being on for a few hours is quite hot too touch on the top. There is about a 1 1/2 inch gap above it with open space behind and to the sides so plentry of venitlation. Does anyone know if this is normal? Ironically my 1095 never gets hot no matter how hard i run it. Nor...

                                              Got all my kit in a now fan ventilated wooden cabinet. All units run at varying degrees of heat, the RSP1066 probably the hottest then the 1080 and then the 1075.

                                              Was wondering what is too hot? Genrally the 1066 is pretty hot to the touch but not too hot to touch. I assume this is...
