Do denon dv-2900's have a hi-temp problem?


My dv-2900 has been a great player impressive for analog multi-channel, 2channel cd, and fantastic picture on dvds'
however - more often now it is in a cabinet after about 2 hours or so - it has playback seizures; sound and pic freezes/jumps, ect.
What can be done to fix this problem ?
should I scrap it ?

Addy to Theo, while my Denon DV-5910 is working flawlessly, it is on the other hand, thermally hot as an oven as well; much hotter than my Anthem pre/pro and amp. After hours of playing, it is a burner, literally. But it sounds good though.
Magfan,
The 5910 is sitting open space in front of me. The most heat it generates is the surrounding on top of the transformer and while I can still touch the chassis or put my face agaisnt it, well, let it play few hours and my face just gets hotter and hotter from seatting in fornt of it or walk toward it.
It can't be the heat from the Anthem pre/pro and amp because I'm now using Jeff Rowland class-D model 102 and their little Capri preamp, both generate VERY little of heat or even any heat at all especially the preamp Capri.
The Denon 5910 is 42 lbs and very well built, I'm sure it was designed to run at that temp but in Texas, any thing runs "greener" is better ...
