firestone Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Hi Guys, My oppo is running fine but its very hot to the touch!(Hot as in cannot place hands on top for more than 2secs). Anyone else having this issue?Thks
DIRTRUN Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Walau, Since I saw no vents on it I assumed it dont suffer from heat buildup and even stacked something on top of it... Must go back and check tis ... Cheers Dirtrun
firestone Posted May 3, 2007 Author Posted May 3, 2007 BTW, my set do have a clearance of 3" on top and more than that behind. :o
bloob Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I think this is a known issue with Oppo players, and has been mentioned in some of the reviews quoted at Oppo's website. I don't think it is a big issue just that good ventilation will definitely help. Due to this, I keep my Oppo 981 in its own rack, with nothing else in it. :)
firestone Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 Thks Bloob, Strange that no guys comment on this... Hope mine is not unusually hot.
DIRTRUN Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Hi F, Well used my 981 for about a 4hr stretch on sat and mine dont heat up at all... it gets a little warm on de top but tats it.... Cheers Dirtrun
desray Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 The whole idea is to allow ventilation all around the device itself. Try not to place anything on top of the Player even though there's no ventilation vents on top of the Player (usually is the case). And leave at 3" to 5" allowance for the heat to dissipate properly. Heat is the greatest enemy for all Electronic goods.
desray Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Hi F, Well used my 981 for about a 4hr stretch on sat and mine dont heat up at all... it gets a little warm on de top but tats it.... Cheers Dirtrun Are you using it in a dedicated Air Con room? or Living Room? ;)
DIRTRUN Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Are you using it in a dedicated Air Con room? or Living Room? ;) Hi, My Ht is now in de living room and it is airconned... So far no problems wif heat... Cheers Dirtrun
firestone Posted May 8, 2007 Author Posted May 8, 2007 Hi, My Ht is now in de living room and it is airconned... So far no problems wif heat... Cheers Dirtrun Aiyah, airconned not counted lah..:)
bloob Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Its not the aircon that really matters.... it is the airflow around the AV equipment. With proper placement and setup, you don't need aircon to maintain a good operating environment, especially for the Oppo that runs hot. My Bose system and my older Pioneer DV-S737 also runs rather hot, but not as hot as my Oppo DV-981.
DIRTRUN Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Hi, Well, if de aircon is not on (when de weather is cooler), my oppo doesnt run hot, well, at least not as hot as you describe( too hot to touch) anyway... FWIW it is on de top most shelf with no walls and top so ventilation is good... Cheers Dirtrun
