Is dust a hazard Open faced receivers ?

Anything you can use to protect the top from evil dust bunnies ? Without causing onkyo to overheat? Is dust a component killing hazard???

Please post your opinions I’m clueless how much dust amps can suck up .

Get a swiffer duster and dust your components daily and it will keep a lot of dust from collecting inside your gear but won’t keep it all out as it’s inevitable that there will be dust that’s just life . If you have animals it’s even more important to dust your gear often because then you through hair into the mix (unless there a hairless type animal ) , also the more people in the house the more dusty said house will be .

Oh to answer your question, if you never dust then over time enough dust will get into your gear and may affect your gear but more so possibly cause a fire hazard , so dust your gear daily and don’t worry about your question.

I do dust regularly all of my audio equipment and surrounding areas . I’m talking about the dust that falls inside electronics, that we do not dust off .

Once every few years take the lid off and blow it out. It's not worth fretting over.

Good plan I’ve never took the hood off my onkyo I was just worried because we have so much dust not sure if our air vents need cleaned or something. My dad wouldn’t pay for that anyways.

I have a microfiber cloth as a cover for my amp which I take it off when i use it and then put it back on when I'm done. I wouldn't bother with covers normally but my house is pretty dusty.

I do this to all my components with vented tops.
