Sorry for the cross-posting, but I would like a few more opinions before I proceed.
I am a newbie to home theatre, and have a question about ventilation. I have just purchased a Yamaha RX-V750 receiver (too much power for me but I needed phono inputs and wanted a Yamaha). It says I should give it 30cm of space above it, and 30cm of space to either side. I was planning to put in into my entertainment centre, but there is no way there will be 30 cm of space on either side (I can probably swing the 30cm above). The centre is vented at the back, although with fairly small holes. If I keep the door open when I use the receiver, will this be okay or will it overheat because of the lack of space to either side?
The receiver has a grill on top but I did not see any ventilation holes/grills at the sides. Another advice document suggest 4-8" above and at least 1" to either side. Would this suffice? A reply I received in the Beginners forum suggested I would probably be okay
I need to keep my electronics, when not in use, in an enclosed cabinet for the simple reason that my house is both dusty and furry (cats).
Thanks
