I can actually hold my hand on the hot spot now. Also came with the latest FW and DSP's which is great because updating FW on these things can be bitch. Now a happy camper.
FW 1.08
DSP's
SR8051/08214A
SR8052/07518A
SR8053/07820B

BTW. I have the latest FW if anyone needs it (you can't get it from Onkyo yet). You need a RS232 straight through cable to do the update from your PC. If you want it PM me.
Disclaimer: As with any fw update you are responsible if anything happens and you brick your reciever.
Yo Greg-

Now that is beginning to sound more like mine - warm to the touch - goodonya-eh!!
