How Hot? Several reviews state that this receiver gets very warm?

It depends on if it's enclosed or not. I experience severe heat and issues when closing my cabinet door...the temp readout from the Onkyo settings says 65+. If I leave the door open it cools off considerably to around 50 or so. This is with an AV fan sitting on top of it as well. I'm debating on whether I should return it or not and whether its a bad amp or not. I haven't checked the wattage output.

You shouldn't have any problems with it fitting, I just remeasured it and it does measure 6 inches. The vents are on the top of the receiver, so I think if you have a 1/2 space, and the back isn't enclosed (?) you should be fine. This is a great receiver! I haven't noticed that it gets too hot. Hope this helps.

Richard, I am powering A-9's in the front with an A-6 center and A-7 rears with an Onkyo TX-NR 5009. There isn't much difference in wattage between the two receivers. I can only speak for the 5009 which does a fine job; I am using a pair of 140mm fans to cool the receiver- more load the more heat produced.

I have mine in a somewhat confined space which is concealed with very thin speaker fabric, and yes, it gets hot. It does have a fan, and when the unit gets very hot, the fan noise is noticeable. I'm going to need to find an alternate solution, perhaps an auxiliary lower-noise fan.

Mine gets as warm as any other AC adapter I have used. Nothing out of the ordinary. Make sure it is not covered by a blanket, being used as a foot warmer, etc.

Mine was hot too but if you need this the you probably have a problem with cables, I was using this until I got a competent tech that replaced some bad cables and checked signal strength to verify which cable is bad

Mine gets very warm. In fact, I keep it on the two lowest settings all of the time. The two higher ones would be too hot for me. So there is a lot of range with the heat in this one.

Mine runs pretty warm but haven't had any problems with it. After I finally figured out how to pass thru my satellite signal I shut it down more often to cool.

I like the receiver. It had no issues/problems of any sort and good price/features ratio.

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

I do not live in a fring are. However, I do live in an area with a very poor signal. The pleasant surprise about this receiver was its excellent sensitivity.

Not manufacturer- this unit should not be more than noticeably warm. Also please make sure your speakers are within the impedence range( >8 ohms), if they are I'd call it defective.

I've had this receiver for about two weeks and never heard of this. It is most likely an isolated incident as I have not heard any problems like this on other forums.

It is not uncommon for active return amplifiers to get hot. However if they are malfunctioning at the same time that is obviously a problem. The heat generally comes with the reverse amp, and the amount of amplification in the reverse direction will vary a lot from house to house. Make sure it is installed as close as possible to where the cable comes to the house.

My amp gets warm to the touch after on for a while, but I would not call it hot. Sorry I can't help further. I can't see what the gain is set at, as the installer set and balanced everything, and its way under my driver seat.
