how do i power the AV Component Cooler? I plan to use it to cool my Yamaha RX-V673, how do I connect it to the receiver?

It has a standard 120V AC 2-prong plug and a small switch on the front of the unit to select low, high or off. You can plug it straight to a wall outlet or power strip and control it with the switch or leave it switched on and plug it into your receiver and let your receiver control the unit.

Unfortunately, it comes with a power cord with an oversized plug. The plug takes up 2 slots on my power strip. Also, it is unfortunate that turning the cooler on/off is manual. There is a small switch on the front side of the cooler. If your receiver has a power supply that turns off/on with the receiver power, this would be ideal. Since my receiver does not have this ability, I just leave the cooler on low 100% of the time. The cooler is essentially 2 PC cooler fans. Another downer is the noise when using the cooler on high... you can hear it buzzing. I found that if I just leave mine on low, it works very well and does not make any noise.

Unless our receiver has a switched outlet, you can't.You have to operate it separately

Hi Bro your Yamaha RX-V673 does not have a AC outlet ..mine too.so you have to plug to a wall outlet. .and each time you have to on and off it .

Use the adapter that comes with it and plug it into a wall outlet OR plug it into the back of your reciever if it comes with an outlet built in.

It comes with an A/C adapter so just plug it in. BTW, I leave it on 24/7 on the high setting, it is very quiet and it works great

Hi, as far as I can see, you can't hook it up as a component to another system. On the back I can only see hook ups for external speakers. I don't see any other output/input ports. Hope that answers your question.

1. This AV receiver is made for multiple channels of speakers, and wpc drops with each set you add on. So just on basis of amplifier power the answer is look elsewhere. To get the most out of these speakers you need more power, and if you're only running one channel of speakers you don't need this receiver.2. As has been pointed out in many many reviews, Onkyo TX-NR xxx series of AV receivers have problems.

It just outputs signals. There is no power amplification for speakers, so yes, you need an AV receiver or some amplifier of some sort.

I only have my bluray player on top of my antec cooler which sets on top of my av receiver,no problems so far. Although i personally dont think it would be a good idea to place more than 1 component om top because the weight my be to much to handle.

I have the same problem! Did you get it worked out. If so HOW??? I wonder if my AV receiver is too old.

I am running a Yamaha RXV-871 (similar to your Onkyo), a UPA-200,and UPA-500. I am also running large floor standing polk audio rti-a7's similar to yours. What I can tell you is that while my yamaha on its own was doing the job it was working vary hard to do so. The large speakers are vary demanding. The Emotiva amps are easily achieving that level of performance and more with little to no effort. As for weather or not it will rock your room; I haven't had the nerve to push it that far. Although I suspect the speakers will give up before the amps do!!!

All ur receiver needs is a sub pre-out. So an RCA connection. Plug in to LFE(Low Frequency Effects) on sub.

Something is wrong. You should have to cut the bass down. What type of AVR receiver are you using?

Bob, can you tell me a little bit about what components you are connecting and what you are trying to accomplish?

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

I have a 175 watt Yamaha receiver and I bought and returned the ave version because it wouldn't even turn on my receiver from the battery ports but did work through the surge port. I Plan on buying the PFC version but haven't as of yet

It depends on your set up, but you want to move heat away from your components, especially A/V Receivers, amplifiers, computers, & of course the Xbox 360 or anything else with heat issues. The fan is a bit noisy, not an issue if you have your A/V rack in a closet - if not consider an inexpensive thermostat to turn it on or off

I run a car stereo setup off of mine in the man cave. My fan runs all the time. But I just put a 12v fan controller on it and a bigger fan. Fixed the problem if you're a DIY'er

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. One issue I have is that I cannot turn the Yamaha on with my cable remote. I can only turn it off. I have contacted both Yamaha and cable regarding this. Do you have a suggestion?

I had previously bought one of these for my laptop and got curious about the comments. I saw your post about using it as a cooler between electronics and the idea intrigued me since I'm in similar position where I need to stack two components. I went ahead and ordered one. The DirecTV box has a rear USB (for future use) which is powered, so it should work. I'll have a Sony Home Theater receiver on top, and either prop up the front legs, or let it be angled, depending on the look.Regardless, thanks for the idea!

I would read the directions that were set up with it. If you have experienced a recent power outage, sometimes the sync function between the Receiver and the unit has to be reestablished. Meaning that you may have lost setup settings. Also make sure no one has flipped settings on the front or back as that will cause a problem with the unit turning on. (word to the wise, when you fix it write down the configuration in the manual) additionally the cable that is plugged in the back of the sub....make sure it wasnt pulled out of the back of your receiver by mistake. If you have this hooked up as a "speaker" and not a sub, also make sure the connections are established. Is this hooked up to a Yamaha receiver? If so you may want to cycle through the on screen setup directions and use the auto setup mic that came with the unit. Every time I have issues, I use that tool and it always seems to fix the connection issues. I know with mine, if the PCM source is not working (digital) the unit wont sence the signal and turn on. If you have multiple source inputs (DVD CD and GAme Player) you may want to make sure that they are putting out the required digital signal or it wont jump start the sub. ....I know, when did setting up Stereo equipment become a full day tech project? I am missing the analog days myself
