2. There isn't an external 120v outlet on the back of the Onkyo. I had one on my HK so I could run an external fan to keep it cool. It would be really nice to have that so when I turn the receiver on, it also turns the fan on. I have to figure something out there.
Just a suggestion for that, but I use these
nifty remote switches for that purpose. It does add another remote to the setup though. I have heard there are more advanced models that can be powered on through a Harmony remote, but I never bothered looking into it. Anyhow, if you you put the receiver, fan, and anything else specific to receiver on the same surge protector connected to the remote outlet, problem solved perhaps.
