I've got a 561M in a stack underneath a 596 and a 504, with all three on a semi-enclosed shelf. Lately the 561M has taken to losing type and failing to output audio to the front L/R speakers (sub, centre and rears OK).

It was running quite warm so I moved the 596/504. 562 now runs much cooler and hasn't fallen over once (yet).

Now I'm wondering about adding a fan - there's a cut out for a 40mm fan in the base panel. But I don't know whether the electronics to drive it are there already (on a PSU board perhaps). Pulling the 561 out (with a myriad of ins and outs to disconnect) is something I only want to do once, not once to check and again to fit. Removal means losing *all* my home audio and video.

Anyone (except Meridian, of course) know if there's a convenient connector labelled 'fan' hiding away in there somewhere?

Thanks - GeoffT.
