I just bought a brand new Harman Kardon AVR-635 system from a local store called Video Only.
A problem is that even after with all my effort this unit always runs fan and it makes quite noticible noise all the time. I tried lowering volume down to -35db, but still the system makes fan noise.
I understand that the system should need fan to cool down the unit when needed, but with this steep price I don't really expect this kind of noise level all the time by the fan.
I checked Harman Kardon's web site, and found that the fan actually shouldn't operate under normal usage. I'm not sure what they are referring by normal usage, but I suspect -35 db output would fall into normal usage.
Is my system defected? Any body has experience with fan noise?
