overheating in DVP S9000es?

i have my 9000 installed on a shelf in my TV stand. it's somewhat closed off. but not entirely. there is at least 2" of space on all sides of the unit. it got pretty hot in there nonetheless...unless it just runs hot normally?

after playing CD's for most of the day yesterday, i put in a DVD and experienced some major video problems, i.e. digital "block" noise, jerky rate rates, etc. i have never seen these problems before, even with the same DVD disc. the player is running in progressive mode hooked up to my wega HD-ready TV. btw, it played CDs fine the whole time.

any ideas?

tim, it's not close to the vk-75 but it is directly above the vk-30, which also generates a fair amount of heat. i'm sure that's not helping the situation. nonetheless, the sony definitely gets hotter when spinning DVDs, as opposed the CDs (or that funky demo SACD). i guess i may have to give in eventually and cough up the $$$ for a standalone rack. ugh...racks are boring upgrades.

is it possible that the maze of cicuits in the sony gets more efficient after break-in, i.e. runs cooler?
