Hello,

I will most likely have to place a Yamaha RX-Z1 receiver in a pretty tight cabinet, along with a couple of components.

My question is...I would like to mount a couple of 4" cooling fans to exhaust the hot air out in the back of the cabinet. Can I hook them up to the remote 12v trigger from the back of the receiver and not worry about them eventually popping anything within the receiver? The fans are 12v and each are rated at .49 amp. I just was not able to find any specs on the output voltage/amps of the 12v trigger from Yam's site and want to make sure this would be a safe way of doing it? Any possibility of fan motor noise returning through the 12v trigger circuit to pollute anything within the receiver?

My other option is to use 120v fans, but still would need to plug them into the back of the receiver so they can be activated automatically when the unit is powered on.

Thanks for your help and suggestions
