Temperature Monitor for Onkyo Receivers

[Rike255]

Hey I came across a pretty cool little menu that shows the temperature of your Onkyo receiver.
I personally tried it on my 805, and have heard of it working with the 503, 605, 905.

Directions:
- Press and hold the Display button
- While holding Display, press and release the Power button once
- Release the Display button
- Quickly press the Tone button

*Note: Press all the buttons on the Receiver, not on the remote.

If you do all of that right your receiver should display this (it's kind of hard to get to):

T: 44/ 45FAN:-
V: 0.00 SEC:H

The 44/45 is the temperature I believe (in Celsius).
I emailed Onkyo to ask them what the rest of all that stuff means last night. Once they respond I'll let you know what it all means.

Running my receiver for about two hour with a PCM signal at moderate volume, I managed to get my 805 up to 52C (125F for all you Americans out there ). the highest I heard so far was up to 70C (158F).

Enjoy!


PS: There's another hidden menu on my 805, if you do the same steps as above but instead of pressing Tone press Setup, it'll give you some menu. I don't know what anything on it means though. It does have 114F written there, but that doesn't seem to change. I'll post what it looks like when I get home from work.
