Can anyone with a Sony HTBE1 system please have a look to see if the cooling fan turns slowly all the time the unit is on?
On our unit the fan used to turn quietly when the unit was on - we were a bit concerned when we first turned it on that the noise would be conspicuous, but it wasn't. However, after a few months of use we noticed the unit was getting very hot and at times locked up requiring power cycling to get any operation. Suspecting overheating, we noticed the fan was no longer turning.
The unit has been in for repair, but the repair centre says the fan only comes on when necessary and depends on the current flowing (so proportional to volume). Sony firstly said the fan should always be on, but now they say it only comes on at an optimum temperature. They won't say what this temperature is though.
Given that a) the fan used to be on all the time and now isn't, b) the unit gets quite hot and c) it sometimes locks up after it's been on for a while, we are still inclined to think something is wrong, but if someone could confirm how their fan runs it would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark.
