I recently picked up a DVD-2910 and it gets extrememly HOT while watching movies.

It is in a cabinet (glass door and open back) with about 1.5" of top clearance. I was using a Cambridge Audio DVD89 and never had a problem with heat. But this Denon gets hot enough to almost burn me.

Is this normal? Any suggestions?

    That's kind of funny...my last source was a Cambridge Audio DVD89, and a while back I upgraded to a Denon DVD-2910. Great minds think alike, eh?;)

    I've never noticed my 2910 getting hot before. It gets slightly warm after being on for a while...but nothing that I'd consider hot, and it doesn't really have much more clearance than what you're describing.

    I have checked it's heat levels on numerous occasions, but that's always been during music listening. Is your 2910 getting hot during music as well? Or does this only happen during movies?

    I'll pop in a movie tomorrow and see if my 2910 gets hot at all. I'll report back with any results.

    My 2900 barely get warm at all. Is the 2910 that much different?

    Haven't tried it with music yet. The heat is there from movies, but I'll check it with music to see.. Might have to throw this thing back onto CL and go back to the Cambridge.

    Tested this out... and playing dvd-audio cds on my 2910 made it warm to the touch after about 1.5-2 hours, but not scalding hot. fyi

    Thanks for the update. I guess I'll either have to vent it more or go back to the Cambridge.
