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 userserviceable. 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 solvents, 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 SECTION 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 liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

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 markings 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.

Speaker Precautions

Placement

The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.

Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.

Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.

If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable, CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the HTX-22HDST features internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, 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 activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or monitor.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1.Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

2.Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

3.High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.

4.Amplifier oscillation.

5.Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

6.Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7.Microphone feedback.

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.

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.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

 

Making the Connections

 

 

 

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

Connect only speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher.

Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

Be careful not to short

the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the HTX22HD.

Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the HTX-22HD.

Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

1 Remove the pre-

cut insulation from the ends of

the speaker cables, and

twist the bare wires tightly.

2 Push the lever to open the hole, insert the bare wire into the hole, and then release the lever.

Maker sure that the speaker terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Connecting the Speakers—Continued

Connecting Surround Back Speakers

For 7.1-channel surround sound, in addition to the 5.1 speakers shown in the hookup diagram on page 19, you’ll need a pair of surround back speakers and a power amp to drive them. Using an RCA audio cable, connect the HTX-22HD’s SURROUND BACK PRE OUT jacks to the audio input on the power amp, as shown below.

Connecting AV Components

About AV Connections

Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

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”).

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 AV Components—Continued

Connecting Components with Analog Outputs

You can connect components with analog audio outputs to the HTX-22HD’s LINE 1 and LINE 2 inputs and enjoy surround sound with Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, and Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

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.

When listening to compressed music files, such as MP3, you can use the HTX-22HD’s Music Optimizer function to enhance the sound quality.
