Does this unit generate a lot of heat? I currently have an Onkyo HT-R667 with the infamous HDMI switching issue. The Onkyo also gets hot.

It does not get excessively hot however I must qualify this by saying the unit only runs for 4-6 hrs at time in the evenings on weekends so usage is very light. Receiver is located in a full enclosure with vent holes only at the rear of the enclosure

I never experience a situation of over heating, but I need to let you know that this equipment is in our country house, and not used in the day by day. Hope it helps.

Surprisingly, no. Initially, I installed it in a cabinet with a sound science 2-speed fan on top that pushed any generated heat out the back, but I never really got an impression of extreme heat. Great unit by the way!

The short answer is no. I've owned several prior generation Yamaha's that did, but this one has been pretty good. There have been a few occasions where I inadvertently left it on overnight and was surprised how cool it was considering... You need to remember to separately shut off the second zone which sometimes stays on when you turn off zone 1.

Ours is on 24/7 and stays cool. The Yamaha has a lot more connectivity with internet radio, pandora, air tunes.

No, my unit works without any heat problem. I recommend this product very well.

well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones... » Read More well, ventilation is always key for an amplifier.So far, and this is after a week, I have not noticed excessive heat.However, I have my main speakers running off a separate power amp via the 773's pre-amp outputs.Both my power amp and the 773 do feel "Warm," but I wouldn't call it excessive.I do have them in an open TV stand with no glass doors and large cutouts in the back.About one inch of space above the top of the unit773 has two USB ports on it, so if I notice excessive heat I plan on purchasing small USB powered vent fans like the ones from "Coolerguys."But, so far I have not noticed what I consider "excessive" heat." « Show Less

I believe it would easily suffice. I use this cooler on top of my Onkyo Integra pre-amp (which are known to run very hot) over the pre-amp's cooling vents. One caution - this is not noiseless. Placed acoustic foam around the edges to reduce the noise. Also cool my HDBaseT HDMI extender with it by placing the extender on top of the cooler.

TV should not be hot. Most likely the cause was a dirty signal coming from Best Buy's HD signal to the TV. Smaller chance is that the peice was going bad. Either way, the odds say this won't happen to you. The 8000 series is one of the best / most efficient TVs out there and normally runs quite cool.

I do and have had no issues, just awesome music. Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver Stereo RMS Power: 50W per channel x 2, into 8 ohms

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

So after further investigation. The Onkyo 5300 looks even more superior then the Samsung HW-C700 AV Receiver. The remote customizations alone are worth it. It has all the different modes. Paired with a right universal remote (I love my Harmony One) That thing can do some wonders. The Onkyo 5300 looks like a perfect match. Check out the zoomed close up's and see that it has different buttons for modes. Move game. This in essence allows you to setup "Activities" accordingly.Also whats with the weird Sub-In plug on the Samsung is it two?

My previous Pioneer 50" plasma from 2007 also heated up quite a bit. Most modern ones, like this LG, are much better designed and more efficient. I've watched The Sound of Music (3 hours) and the TV doesn't get nearly as warm as the Pioneer did after just an hour. So I'd say that I'm happy with this TV.

Unfortunately the hdmi issues still plague Onkyo and as a result I cannot recommend this processor, it is,also quite outdated at this stage , look at the Marantz AV8801 or the Yamaha CX-A5000 which are both superior units with excellent reliability and warranty.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

I've had mine for a year withou issue, BUT online I've read that these have issues with heat. Mine's in a stand with 6" of top and side clearance. You may have a failure due to overheating on one of the boards. You may have a warranty claim at only 18 months old. I think these have a (2) yr. warranty. Check Onkyo's online forum. It's staffed by Onkyo Techs and they can help you.

Go with yamaha,the onkyo's run hot. Loys of complaints by other owners with heat issues.

Hi Gerard.I own one of those, and I'm pretty sure that the HDMI inputs don't flow to the HDMI output when the unit is off. Hope it helps.Andy

I have never experienced the receiver getting very hot, however, I don't have it enclosed in a shelving unit. I would feel comfortable having it in the 6.5" tall cabinet shelf, being that the top of the receiver is very perforated to allow maximum air flow. Worst case scenario, I recommend asking about the warranty, or extended warranty available. Also, I have my wifi router, and multiple other smaller components on top of the receiver, and have never had any issues with overheating.

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.

I've been using mine rather heavily since March 2013... zero problems with the sub (and I think my neighbors would agree with that statement). I've had problems with intermittent audio drops when running optical out from my TV to the Onkyo; however, I rewired using all HDMI and it seems to have resolved that issue - unsure whether that was an 'onkyo problem' or a 'vizio problem', but rewiring fixed it either way.

I have mine running though my Onkyo TX-SR705, which to my knowledge utilizes the HDCP handshake and never had any issues whatsoever. I get full 1080p video output as well as full high def audio without fail.

Yahama uses Better High current Transisters and (Burr Brown) Decoders. Many also complain about excess Heat with some Onkyo Receivers, That would concern me about long term Durability.
