I have never had a problem with my Onkyo TX-SR501 in a similar situation, and I have also had it on the bottom of a stack of receiver, Cassette, DVD, DVR and center channel speaker. (bottom to top) I have had it for about 8 years or so and it has always been around other equipment or in a tight enclosure and never had an issue with heat. Now several DVR's have died, most were from Comcast, and one HR20 from DirecTV from the heat.

The problem is that when I ordered it, I was thinking that the area where the receiver is to go had enough room. The measurement that I was thinking about was to the top of the shelf that the tv is sitting on and not to the bottom of the shelf. What I have ended up with is that the shelf above the receiver is only ½ above the top of the receiver. I do not think that ½ is really a sufficient clearance amount to allow proper cooling. One thing that I thought about doing was to place a small a/c fan Something like: http://www.amazon.com/110V-115V-AC-Cooling-120mm/dp/B006F6LVTW Behind the receiver blowing toward the front and upwards (maybe 45 degrees or so) of the receiver so that it moves the air above the receiver away. What do you all think about that solution? If it matters, the receiver is an Onkyo TX-NR609. Thanks, Bobby
