Just got my D200 back up and running with some new speakers (PMC 20.26) at last.
After a decent listening session (2 hours +) the temperature in the 'A' amp is hitting 63/64C and the other two 59C. The amp is almost too hot to touch.
The unit is almost a year old, although for various reasons wasn't used a great deal in this time.
It sounds fine, no issues there, but this seems very hot to me. The speakers aren't that hard to drive. All s/w up to date (7.1.1 and SAM enabled)
Any thoughts on this?
That does seem a bit hot to me. The only time I get close to those temperatures is when in pass-thru mode. I believe anything up to 65C is ok but you are getting perilously close to the limit and only after 2 hours. It's not as though your speakers are that inefficient at 86dB.
How many hours has the D200 had?
I would raise a ticket.
Cheers
Guillaume
