Do this:

then report back with ur findings as to whether using the ps3 as a volume booster truly reduces the heat. i HIGHLY doubt this is the case...

I was just reading that thread... My thought is that if the signal comes in boosted, the amp has to do less work to get the volume levels equal.

It's a tough one to measure outright and remain valid.... any suggestions? If the longer it's on the hotter it gets, how does one determine if the effect is based on the PS3 internal volume being up or down? Either way the temp goes up... Don't know if I have the patience to let the receiver cool down, watch a movie, cool down change settings (attempt to equalize volume, as I don't have an SPL meter), then watch same movie (to eliminate track differences)....
