I want to leave it on all the time for use as needed with two tv fed from one receiver. Does the device get hot if left on?

Yes it does get hot i took the cover off and drilled lots of vent holes in the cover and does not get as hot. Also it will not pass true 5.1 surround sound so mine just sits in the closet now.

at room temp 20-22C runs warm to touch but not hot... avoid boxing it in and hot conditions, running nonstop may reduce lifespan...i try not to run it nonstop but if i do it just runs warm and i keep it suspended

Mine gets quite warm, but not alarmingly so. I unplug it overnight about twice a week - just when I think about it - to give it a break.

device gets power from the hdmi cables. Used with to inputs and works perfect

No, unless both happen to be on the same frequency (not likely) - you would need to select either the TV or Cable button to choose the device you want to control. Not sure it is the best way to go, but I just turn the TV on/off and leave the cable box on all the time. I have heard cable boxes use just about the same amount of power when they are off (actually "stand-by") as when they are on.

Mine overheated constantly, I wouldn't recommend it if you'll have more than 3 or 4 devices connected to it.Infact I wouldn't recommend it at all.

I don't leave it on all of the time, but I have left it on overnight. I don't think it would hurt to leave it on. I just got worried that someone might accidentally pick up the remote and hit one of the buttons without realizing it was not a television remote.l

It depends on if it's enclosed or not. I experience severe heat and issues when closing my cabinet door...the temp readout from the Onkyo settings says 65+. If I leave the door open it cools off considerably to around 50 or so. This is with an AV fan sitting on top of it as well. I'm debating on whether I should return it or not and whether its a bad amp or not. I haven't checked the wattage output.

Yes. I leave it plugged in all the time since I leave it connected to my TV. Still working great. Used it today.

If I remember correctly, you would need to disconnect the one whenever you want to use the other. I believe one of the reviewers mentioned it. I purchased this for my son & he has it set up on a separate TV in the game room.

I use mine on 7 channels and it works just fine. I have it in an enclosed entertainment center and it is left on all the time and there is no problem with it heating up.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.

Hi Daniel, mine turns the other outlets off several minutes after going to standbyWeather yours goes off depends on the change in on/STBY current draw.-The big screen TV also turns the other outlets off several minutes after STBY(RED Led light on TV front panel still on)

This should be fine. I leave mine on for eight hours at a time with no overheating problems.

Mine does not get hot either in AV cabinet with three sides and few inches clearance around sides, 10 in back. Way less heat than the Onkyo I replaced with it.

It will stay on warm until unplugged. It is powered on with the switch when plugged in before use.

Yes it's supposed to get hot. It's where the amp is housed. Not a problem. It was designed this way.

No you have to make sure to turn the switch off because it's very dangerous to leave it on and unattended because it gets very hot

Yes, we leave ours on all the time. It takes too long to warm up otherwise. I might shut it off during the summer if I don't need it as much.

Personally I wouldn't recommend it as it has to cool for about 5 after turning the switch off, I've thought about that myself but I figured it wouldn't do any good considering it has to cool off after operation. The manual says not to un plug the unit while it is on. I hope I answered your question.
