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:

Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.

Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.

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

Ampliﬁer oscillation.

Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.

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

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.

Speaker positions for a 7.1-channel system are shown below.

Front left and right speakers (HTX-22HDST)

These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker (optional SKS-11)

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers (optional SKS-11)

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

Subwoofer (HTX-22HDPAW Amp/ Subwoofer)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown. Tip: To ﬁnd the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

1/3 of wall position

Corner position

Surround back left and right speakers (not supplied with the HTX-22HD)

These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. (*power amp and speakers required)

Notes:

The HTX-22HD Digital Surround System consists of an Amp/Subwoofer and two front speakers. Designed especially for use with the HTX-22HD, the optional Onkyo SKS-11 speaker package consists of a center speaker and two surround speakers that can be connected directly to the HTX-22HD. For 7.1-channel surround, you’ll need a pair of surround back speakers and a power amp to drive them, which can be connected to the HTX22HD’s SURROUND BACK PRE OUT jacks (see page 20).

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.

Keyhole mounting slot

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

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.

Making the Connections

Remove the pre-

cut insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and

twist the bare wires tightly.

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 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, settop 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), 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-compatible 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 Resolution 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-protection 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

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 industry's requirements for a digital connectivity speciﬁcation for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

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.

IN 1

HDMIHDMI

HDMI

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.

What’s Next?

If you’re using the HTX-22HD for the very ﬁrst time, here’s a few settings that you need 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.

■ Did you connect an -capable Onkyo MiniDisc recorder, CD recorder, or RI Dock to the LINE 1 or LINE 2 input?

If you did, see “Audio Input Setup” on page 36 and “Changing the Input Display” on page 38.

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 frequencies 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 problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, wellbalanced 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 simultaneously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.

First measurement point

This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.

Second measurement point

The right side of the listening area.

Third measurement point

The left side of the listening area.

and 2 and points 1 and 3 must be at least 1 meter.

Using Audyssey 2EQ

Notes:

• If the HTX-22HD is muted, it will be unmuted automatically when the automatic speaker setup starts.

• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the automatic speaker setup for three positions. Total measurement time varies depending on the speakers.

• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the automatic speaker setup.

Turn on the HTX-22HD.

Put the speaker setup microphone at

measurement point 1 (page 32), and connect it to the SETUP MIC jack.

Notes:

•For all measurements, the microphone capsule should point directly at the ceiling.

• If there’s an obstacle between the microphone and any speaker, the automatic setup will not work correctly. 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 microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce incorrect results.

First Time Setup

—Continued

Press [ENTER].

Once you’ve pressed [ENTER], stand by a wall or in a corner so that your body doesn’t interfere with the test signals. The automatic speaker setup starts. You can cancel the automatic speaker setup at any point in this procedure simply by disconnecting the setup microphone.

A test tone is output by each speaker in turn, as the Audyssey 2EQ function determines which speakers are connected. This takes a few minutes.

Note:

• Quiet the room as much as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, ﬂuorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices, and refrain from talking.

When the following display appears,

move the speaker setup microphone to measurement point 2 (page 32), and then press [ENTER].

When the following display appears,

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.

DTS-HD Master Audio

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Bluray and HD DVD disc formats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of

kHz, up to 5.1-chan-

digital audio with 48/96 nels with 192 kHz sampling rate. For the signals supported by the HTX-22HD, see page 47.

DTS Express

This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sampling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and media servers.

DTS Surround Sensation

With this mode, you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two speakers. It provides natural- surround sound experience with movies and music.

Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

Multich

This mode is for use with HDMI multichannel sources.

DSD

DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multichannel audio.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound ﬁeld with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode ﬁlls the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode, you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

■

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound ﬁeld forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound ﬁeld backward. Lower settings move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

■

Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default value is 3.

Neo:6 Music

■

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The default value is 2. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when your listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dynamic EQ

■

Dynamic EQ

With Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level—not just at reference level.

Specifying the Digital Signal Format

Normally, the HTX-22HD detects the format of digital input signals automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS sources, you can specify the signal format manually.

• If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try the PCM setting.

• If noise is produced when fast forwarding or rewinding a DTS CD, try the DTS setting.

DTS:

Note:

• The digital signal format can only be set for digital inputs that are assigned to an input selector (see page 36).

Only DTS format input

signals (excluding DTSHD) will be heard. If the input signal is not DTS, the DTS indicator will ﬂash and there will be no sound.

Auto (default):

detected automatically. If no digital input signal is present, the corresponding analog input will be used instead.

The format is

With a PCM or DTS input source selected, press and hold the [SETUP] button for 3 seconds until “Auto” appears on the display.

While “Auto” is displayed (about 3 seconds), press Left

or Right [ ]/[ ] button repeatedly to select: PCM, DTS, or Auto.

PCM:

Only 2-channel PCM

format input signals will be heard. If the input signal is not PCM, the PCM indicator will ﬂash and there will be no sound.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the HTX22HD, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Before you contact your Onkyo dealer, try resetting the HTX-22HD, as follows:

To reset the HTX-22HD to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [LISTENING MODE] button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the HTX-22HD will enter Standby mode.

Note that resetting the HTX-22HD will delete all of your custom settings.

Power

Can’t turn on the HTX-22HD

• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall outlet properly.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it back in again.

Audio

There’s no sound or it’s very quiet

•To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an HDMI input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 37).

•To listen to an audio source that’s connected to an OPTICAL, COAXIAL, or LINE input, make sure that input is assigned to an input selector (page 36).

• Make sure you’ve selected the appropriate input selector (page 39).

• Check the volume (page 39). The HTX-22HD is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.

• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 21).

• Make sure that the cables are properly connected to the output jacks on the source component.

• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal (page 21).

• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

• Check the digital audio output settings on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote controller.

• If your turntable doesn’t have a phono preamp built-in, you must connect one between it and the HTX-22HD.

• If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a phono preamp.

• Check the speaker settings (pages 56).

• If the digital signal format is set to PCM or DTS, set it to Auto (page 70).

• If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings, and be sure to select a compatible audio format.

Only the front speakers produce sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound will be concentrated in the center speaker.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 49).

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound.

• Depending on the source and the current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try another listening mode (page 42).

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

Troubleshooting

—Continued

The surround back speakers produce no sound

• The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Try another listening mode (page 42).

• Not much sound may be produced by the surround back speakers with some sources.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

The subwoofer produces no sound

• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.

• Check the Speaker Conﬁguration (page 56).

There’s no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD player’s remote controller.

The volume cannot be set to 79 (99)

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 67).

• After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted (pages 32 and 60), the maximum volume may be reduced.

• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted (page 60), the maximum possible volume may be reduced.

• When the Equalizer Settings (page 62) is set to Audyssey, the maximum possible volume is reduced by 6 dB.

Noise can be heard

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio performance, so don’t use them.

• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

The Late Night function doesn’t work

• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital or Dolby TrueHD (page 55).

About DTS signals

• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the HTX-22HD remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains

on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, as the HTX-22HD does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear anything, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.

•With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the HTX-22HD. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the HTX-22HD doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can’t be heard

• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, sound may not be output immediately.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 14).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the HTX-22HD and there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the HTX-22HD’s remote control sensor (page 14).

Can’t control other components

• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode.

•To control an Onkyo DVD player or RI Dock with iPod that’s connected with , remember to point the remote controller at the HTX-22HD and not at the DVD player or RI Dock.

Others

How do I change the language of a multiplex source?

• On the Audio Adjust menu, change the Input Ch setting to Main or Sub (page 52).

The functions don’t work

•To use , you must make an connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and HTX-22HD, even if they are connected digitally (page 26).

Troubleshooting

The HTX-22HD contains a microcomputer for signal 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 important 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.
