Will this over heat? *PICS inside

My reciever looks so big that I nearly have any space to slide my DVD on top. Is it okay if I put the reciever in the the draw? As you can see in the pics there are vents in the draw ( inside and outside )

P.S Is it possible to connect some sort of infared wire so I can still use my remote?

It is never a good idea to put anything on top of a receiver. Your picture looks like it will provide adequate ventilation.

The receiver in the drawer or the DVD player? DVD - yes. Receiver - I wouldn't do it. Unless there are hidden "vents", that is not nearly enough room for passive air flow. Add some cooling fans and it should work.

Go to the Parts Express site and browse "Infrared Distribution Hubs". You will need an IR target that is either hidden or looks nice on your shelf, a distribution hub, power supply and IR emitter.

Thanks for the feedback, What I want to do is to put the reciever in the drawer. Not the DVD. I can manage to fit both units in that cabinet. I just can't touch the buttons on the DVD since the gap is very very minimal.

I wouldn't put the dvd player on top of the receiver and I wouldn't put the receiver in the drawer either.

But, if those are your only options, I would put the receiver in the drawer and make sure you open the drawer when the receiver is in use so that it has plenty of open air to properly vent.

I agree, neither of those solutions sound ideal. Is there not enough room to place them side by side on the shelf? If not, I'd set the DVD player on top of the shelf, there's ample room.
