Default Overheating of Onkyo TX-SR 606

I have one of their higher end models (TX-SR 8??) and it gets hot but not
too hot to touch and hold, even when run for hours.

I bought a receiver of Onkyo TX-SR 606.
Everthing works fine, except the receiver becomes very hot if the
power is on.
Even there is no signal to the receiver, as long as the power is on, I
can't put my hand on it for more than half a second because the box
burns my hand.
Is this normal for Onkyo TX-SR 606?
Will the overheating cause a problem after a while (several months, or
years)?




If it gets that hot with no other symptoms it's possible that the bias is
not adjusted properly. This needs to be done by a technician, ideally by an
authorized Onkyo servicer, especially if it's under factory warranty. If
under warranty, checking / adjusting in this situation should be at no
charge.
