i tried a few different methods as far as timing goes and couldnt get anything to come up.

Make sure you're pressing the buttons one the reciever not on the remote, as for timing, press and hold display till you see the display on the reciever changes my displayed "108060/1080" then I pressed and released the power button, then released the disaplay button, then no less than two seconds later pressed the tone button, and it displayed the temperatures.

thanks. that was it...i was using the remote and pressing the tone button on the receiver itself...i wasnt just using the receiver by itself...

just sitting here idle...my 605 is reading 44c. i forgot to mention that my receiver just finished watching a movie at 68 volume and had been idling for about 20 minutes...


lemme crank it for another 20 minutes with some music at 75 volume and ill report back.

EDIT:
i just tested my receiver...it just seems to depend a lot on the source material...
i listened to 15 minutes of music...ranging from laguna coil, korn, to joe satriani.

it maxed out at 64c when listening to the first 3 tracks of laguna coil...then it dropped down as it went to korn and then on to joe. it dropped to 57c listening to joe...

this was at 75 volume coming from my computer sound card hooked up via analog multi channel.

this equates to about 95dB per my spl meter listening volume (which is loud as hell to me).

Still no reply from Onkyo. I'll try calling them early next week.

have you heard from them yet? what do you think the safe zone is that is displayed? even though the fans havent clicked on, the grill feels really hot. not sure if its something i should be concerned about or not.
