Onkyo SR805- through-put issue + heat?
Well my 10 year old Denon 3300 bit the dust this week so I ordered an Onkyo SR 805 receiver which I am currently trying to get up and running. I have two questions:
1. Can I mount this in an open glass TV table with 8.25 inch high shelves? The unit is 7.5 inches tall and user reviews I have read said it throws out a ton of heat. Anyway, if this is not recommended, can I add a small fan to suck out some of the heat and still use the glass TV table?
2. A professional review tested the through-put and said the 1080 video from any HDMI source became degraded when routed into the receiver and then to a TV. The rating was "fail"! Anyway, can this issue be circumvented by separating the source input and only running the audio to the receiver and the video directly to the TV? I assume this is possible using digital optical cable to the receiver and an HDMI cable from the set-top to the TV; right?
Thx...
