Question Re: Yamaha receivers and fans

[kexodusc]

Okay wooch, I'm not disputing your vast knowledge, however if you download the 795 a manual and run a word search for fan you will easily see that the fan is mentioned. To top it off I've just duplicated the noise after about 45 minutes of very loud christmas music. Is it at all possible some 795 a's had a fan and some didn't?
I can assure my 795a does have a fan.

I purchased a 795a three yrs ago and a week after traded for the 995. Both receivers have a fan. The fan is positioned on the transformer on the left side.The heat sink is in the middle.If you put you hand over the left side,it will not be as hot compared to the middle.This is the Best indication of a functioning fan.If you listen closely you can hear it come on as you turn up the volume.Once it comes on it's hardly audiable.

Alrighty, I'll stand corrected! I don't remember seeing fans on those models, but I did not open those boxes up either.

Wooch has earned the right to be incorrect from time to time...just don't make it a habit
