Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal
use only, recording copyrighted material is illegal
without the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact
your Onkyo dealer.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a
soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild
detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately
afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical sol-
vents, because they may damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear
panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this
unit from the AC power source. Make sure that the
plug is readily operable (easily accessible) at all
times.
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liq-
uid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your
Onkyo dealer.
6. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the origi-
nal packaging to pack it how it was when you
originally bought it.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit
for a long time, because they may leave marks
on the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm
after prolonged use. This is normal.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it
may not work properly the next time you turn it
on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Precautions—Continued
For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the
power supply cord of this unit should be performed
only by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
IMPORTANT
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the
same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug.
Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body
of the fuse.
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable
fuse in the plug.

output level.
Using Close to a TV or Computer
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically
sensitive devices and as such are likely to suf-
fer discoloration or picture distortion when
conventional speakers are placed nearby. To
prevent this, the HTX-22HDST features
internal magnetic shielding. In some situa-
tions, however, discoloration may still be an
issue, in which case you should turn off your
TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and
then turn it back on again. This normally acti-
vates the degaussing function, which neutral-
izes the magnetic field, thereby removing any
discoloration effects. If discoloration prob-
lems persist, try moving the speakers away
from your TV or monitor. Note that discolor-
ation can also be caused by a magnet or
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your
TV or monitor.

Connecting the Speakers
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the HTX-22HD’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of
movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs
featuring Dolby Digital or DTS. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS
Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
Speaker positions for a 7.1-channel system are shown below.

Connecting the Speakers—Continued
Affixing the Cork Spacers

You can improve the sound quality by affixing the included cork spacers to raise the speakers
off the mounting surface thereby reducing the contact area. The spacers also make the speakers
stable and prevent them from moving around.

If you intend to wall-mount the front speakers using

their keyhole slots, affix two cork spacers to the rear of
each speaker for a added stability.
Note:
• Before you wall-mount the front speakers, check the strength of the wall. The supporting
strength of the screws depends on the wall material and the position of the studs. Use screws
as thick and long as possible, with a head diameter of 10 mm or less and a thread diameter of
4 mm or less. (We recommend that you consult a professional home electronics installer.)

nents.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connec-
tions.
Optical Digital Jacks

The HTX-22HD’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug
is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
RCA Connection Color Coding

RCA connections are usually color coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio
inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”).
Left (white) Analog audio Left (white)
Right (red) Right (red)
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
Right!
Wrong!
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker
cables.

Connecting AV Components—Continued
Connecting Components with Digital Outputs

You can connect components with digital audio outputs to the HTX-22HD’s COAXIAL IN,
OPTICAL IN 1, and IN 2 inputs. Choose a digital input (coaxial or optical) that matches the
digital audio output on your source component. To enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS, you must
connect your DVD player with an optical or coaxial digital audio cable. If your DVD player
supports HDMI, you can use an HDMI connection instead (see page 24).
Notes:
• After you connect a component to an input jack, you must assign that input jack to an input
selector. See “Audio Input Setup” on page 36.
• On some source components, Dolby Digital and DTS output may be turned off by default, in
which case you’ll need to turn it on.
• If one of your source components is noticeably louder or quieter than your others, use the
IntelliVolume function to adjust its input level (see page 64).

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-
top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have
been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals,
digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, or multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),*1
so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable.
(This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)
The HTX-22HD uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-com-
patible components will display a picture.
The HTX-22HD’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:

Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Reso-
lution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32–192 kHz)
• Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, DSD)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
About Copyright Protection

The HTX-22HD supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),*2 a copy-protec-
tion system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the HTX-22HD via HDMI must
also support HDCP.
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the
HTX-22HD’s HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in
1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology
developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires a
HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard,
IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the indus-
try's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and dig-
ital displays.
24
Making HDMI Connections

You can connect components with HDMI outputs to the HTX-22HD’s HDMI IN 1 and IN 2
inputs and connect your HDMI TV to the HTX-22HD’s HDMI OUT. You need HDMI cables to
make HDMI connections.
Note:
• By default, the HDMI1 and HDMI2 inputs are assigned to the VCR/DVR and CBL/SAT
input selectors. To change these assignments, see “HDMI Input Setup” on page 37.
■ Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the HDMI OUT for display
on your TV.
■ Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers connected to the
HTX-22HD. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT.
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers,
Hint! set the Audio TV Out setting to On (see page 68), and set your DVD player’s
HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
HDMI HDMI

OUT IN 1 IN
DVD player TV
: Signal frow
Notes:
• Set the output resolution of your DVD player so that it matches the resolution of your TV
before starting playback.
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and dis-
plays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that
DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.)
However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals
from a PC are not supported.
• To listen to an HDMI source component through the HTX-22HD, you must configure your
system so that video from the HDMI source component can be displayed on your TV (i.e., on
your TV, select the HDMI input that’s connected to the HTX-22HD’s HDMI OUT). This is
necessary because a component identification check has to be performed on your TV before
an HDMI source component can output any signals. If your TV is off or set to a different
input source, the HTX-22HD may produce no sound or the sound may be distorted.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected
source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via
HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.
25
Connecting Onkyo Components

Connecting an Onkyo DVD player or RI Dock with iPod to the HTX-22HD with an cable
and RCA audio cable will alow you to use the following system control functions. An cable
is a special cable for use with Onkyo’s (Remote Interactive) control system.
Auto Power On/Standby
If you turn on or start playback on the Onkyo DVD player or RI Dock with iPod, the HTX-22HD
will automatically turn on and select the DVD player or iPod as the input source. Similarly, when
the HTX-22HD is tuned on or set to Standby, the DVD player and iPod will also turn on or go
on Standby.
Direct Change
When playback is started on the Onkyo DVD player or RI Dock with iPod, the HTX-22HD
automatically selects the DVD player or iPod as the input source.
Remote Controller Operation
In addition to controlling the HTX-22HD, you can also use the HTX-22HD’s remote controller
to control an Onkyo DVD player or RI Dock with iPod. When doing so, remember to point the
remote controller at the HTX-22HD and not at the DVD player or RI Dock. Hookup information
is shown below. The remote controller buttons that you can use to control an Onkyo DVD player
or RI Dock with iPod are explained on pages 28 and 29.
■ Hookup
The following diagram shows how to connect an Onkyo DVD player and RI Dock with iPod to

make. These settings only need to be made once.
■ Do the automatic speaker setup—this is essential!
See “Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey 2EQ)” on page 32.
■ Assign input jacks to input selectors
See “Audio Input Setup” on page 36.
■ Did you connect any HDMI components?
If you did, see “HDMI Input Setup” on page 37.

page 38.
31
First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the HTX-22HD for the very
first time.
Automatic Speaker Setup (Audyssey 2EQ)

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number
of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequen-
cies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey
2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob-
lems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-
balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Dynamic EQ,
which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 54).
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simulta-
neously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.
A First measurement point
This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.
B Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
C Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points 1 and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the micro-
phone accordingly when prompted.

• If there’s an obstacle between the
microphone and any speaker, the
automatic setup will not work cor-
3–5 rectly. Set up the room as you would
when enjoying a DVD.
• Positioning the microphone close to
where your ears would normally be
will provide better results. You can
adjust the height of the microphone
by using a tripod or level table.
• Do not attempt to hold the micro-
phone in your hand during measure-
ments as this will produce incorrect
results.

Troubleshooting—Continued
The HTX-22HD contains a microcomputer for sig-

nal processing and control functions. In very rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an
external source, or static electricity may cause it to
lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens,
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at
least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD

rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused
by this unit’s malfunction. Before you record impor-
tant data, make sure that the material will be
recorded correctly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall

outlet, set the HTX-22HD to Standby.
