Yamaha V-2500 Hot (temp)

[millsjq]

I recently purchased the 2500 and I am using my ADCOM 555 to drive the front speakers. The ADCOM stays cool, while the 2500 is quite warm regardless of being driven hard or soft. Is this normal?

After watching a two-hour movie, my RX-V2500 would get pretty warm/hot also. It's located inside a cabinet with front glass doors so there's not much ventilation. I bought a quiet 12V 120mm PC fan, connected the transformer to the receiver's 120V switched output and placed it on top of the receiver. The Yamaha RX-V2500 doesn't get hot anymore.

I did something quite like that too. My 2500 is enclosed in a cabinet as well with some large vent slats on the back, but nonetheless there wasnt' much airflow. I went to Target and bought a 3" or 4" fan for $5 and have it blowing cool air from the rear towards the front. It gives me excellent airflow and after being on all day, I can put my hand on top of it without getting burned.

The thing just runs hot.

I might be wrong here

but I thought the Yammy 1500 and 2500 had an internal fan. Maybe it can be turned on manually. I have a Denon which stays cool to warm even when driven very hard, but I swear I have read somewhere on these boarrds that the 2500 has a fan.

It does have a fan and it can be controlled using the set up mode. Instructions are buried deep within the manual like everything else hard to locate.

The 2500 does have a fan, and you can set it to come on auto mode if the receiver gets hot, or stay on continuously. The procedure is in your manual.
