Do denon dv-2900's have a hi-temp problem?

My dv-2900 has been a great player impressive for analog multi-channel, 2channel cd, and fantastic picture on dvds'
however - more often now it is in a cabinet after about 2 hours or so - it has playback seizures; sound and pic freezes/jumps, ect.
What can be done to fix this problem ?
should I scrap it ?

I have a 5910ci and I moved to another shelf to give it more room to breathe. It is the hottest component I have in my system. Hotter than my MX135 pre-pro or 402 amp.
Sometimes I wonder if I will open the drawer and need a spatula to get the disc out:)

Addy to Theo, while my Denon DV-5910 is working flawlessly, it is on the other hand, thermally hot as an oven as well; much hotter than my Anthem pre/pro and amp. After hours of playing, it is a burner, literally. But it sounds good though.

Nasaman, how well vented is the Denon?
The '5910 draws what.....maybe 50 or 60 watts? Shouldn't cook, even if it does get warm, as long as it is not confined.

Cook it = Kill it sooner or later.
