Hi I'm a New Member here I recently purchased a Kenwood VR-309 off of ebay and when I played it yesterday it ran really hot to the touch so this afternoon I called kenwood changed some settings under menu settings and turned off all the surround sound modes and any unused channels. Adjusted the distance of my Rear Surround Sound Speakers. (using them as mains) Everything is now PERFECT No more excessive heat build up and no longer getting hot to the touch. What are your opinions on this nice older Stereo Receiver Amp? Original MSRP was $400.00 in or around 2001. I love the Sound Quality and the features it has.
