I asked this question in the 886 thread as well but I didn't get a response. I understand how to get the temperature to display on the 886's screen but mine is blank. I had it on for a few hours and it still never displayed a temp. The rear of the 886 was very warm to the touch. Not so hot that I couldn't hold my hand on it but hot enough to be uncomfortable. Does the temperature only display if it is above a certain level? I tried out an Onkyo 805 last year and that displayed the temperature even when I first turned it on.


I attached a picture to help explain what I am talking about.

Anyone???

That may only work on the recievers. It was blank on my 885 as well.

Interesting. Maybe Onkyo is only concerned about the recievers temp because they produce a lot more heat. The top of my 886 gets hot above the HMDI ports of course. I am considering adding a fan to help keep it a bit cooler. I only have three inches of clearance above it but it is open on all sides. I was hoping to see how hot it is actually running at to see how much of a difference a fan makes.


Does the 886/885 have built in fans like the receivers do? I assume not if there isn't a temp sensor because what would trigger them to turn on.

No, there are no fans inside.

I wish more receiver/processors would start using heatsinks on the DSP and anything else that needs it.
