Is the Denon AVR hotter than the Pioneer Elite?

Yes, Denon’s run hotter – – at least in my experience. Noticeably so. I’ve had Pioneer Elite and Yamaha AVR’s and they are considerably cooler. I solved the problem by buying a couple of AC Infinity fans and the Thermostat (USB also with plug adaptor) to keep the unit cool.

What should the temperature be on a Denon AVR?

Best Buy generally sticks the AVRs on shelves with only an inch or two of clearance on top with poor side/rear ventilation as well. With proper ventilation in your own cabinet, the unit should only run warm at best and can actually run 10 degrees F cooler when using ECO mode.

Can a Denon be mounted on a aventage?

In their display theyve got a vertical row of Pio Elites, Denons, Marantz, and Yamaha Aventages (in the Magnolia test room). All receivers are mounted exactly the same with the same amount of room in between shelves, open backs and fronts, and the Dennons and Marantz were incredibly hot.

Which is hotter the Marantz or the Denon x5200?

Based on the recommendation of AC Infinity, I set the Thermostat at 88 degrees Fahrenheit and it never gets hotter than 84 degrees. On my Denon X5200, the Front Left Quadrant is the hottest. In fact, you can put you fingers underneath the unit, you can see how much hotter it is than the top.
