[QUOTE="marcopolo, post: 40527, member: 542636"] Yeah, maybe you're right. The internal amp is probably off if you don't use it, but why do some newer units have an extra switch to turn them off, in case if you might wanna power speakers externaly?? If the spinning of the CD itself would cause so much heat, then I suppose it would be the same with Discman, but as you know they dont get that hot. I dont think the mechanism causes heat anyway. My h/u is Alpine CDE 7854R and it is about 4 years old. I installed myself and I made sure to keep enough room around it for the air to circulate. I should probably say it again: the unit doesnt get as hot to be problematic (when I used internal amp it got 5 times hotter for sure), but I'm still curious what is causing the heat that is there. Maybe it's just the way it is. I suppose you can't blame the preouts?? [/QUOTE]
