Danger of running hot receiver (Kyocera)?
Got someone with a Kyocera receiver (R-851, 85 w/chan.) that they say
"smells like something's burning". Don't have more specific information than that; I'm assuming no magic smoke is visible. I'm advising them that perhaps something (dust, etc.) is in the heat sink that's getting heated and smelling. Apparently the output stages (MOSFET) of these beasts tend to run on the hot side. Question: does anyone know what kind of overcurrent or overtemperature protection this unit has? User is concerned about "ruining" it if it is in fact overheating (which I can't determine at this distance). They're running it with 4-ohm speakers at not-very-high levels; I also suggested trying it with 8-ohm speakers and seeing if the smell lessens. Not much info to go on, I know, but I really would like to know more about any protection circuitry in this piece of gear. -- The fashion in killing has an insouciant, flirty style this spring, with the flaunting of well-defined muscle, wrapped in flags. - Comment from an article on Antiwar.com (http://antiwar.com) |
