Also, leave at least 20 cm (8") of free space at the sides, otherwise, the performance of the bass-reflex port may be compromised. The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer uses a non-shielded design. If you’re using a CRT-type TV, to prevent picture interference, position it at least 40 cm (15-3/4") away from your TV.

STANDBY

HDMI Thru

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-22HDXST speakers feature 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 the HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer before connecting or disconnecting cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.

Connecting the Speakers

Corner position

1/3 of wall position

Center speaker (optional SKS-22X)

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-22X)

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-22HDXPAW 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.

Front left and right speakers (HTX-22HDXST)

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.

Notes:

The HTX-22HDX Digital Surround System consists of an Amp/Subwoofer and two front speakers. Designed especially for use with the HTX-22HDX, the optional Onkyo SKS-22X speaker package consists of a center speaker and two surround speakers that can be connected directly to the HTX-22HDX. Be sure to make the necessary Speaker Configuration settings when you connect additional speakers (see page 39).

Tip:

Theater-Dimensional listening mode

With this mode, you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. 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 (see pages 35, 42).

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the HTX-22HDX’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 II, DTS, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

Speaker positions for a 5.1-channel system are shown below.

Affixing the Rubber Feet

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

■ Rubber Feet for the Amp/Subwoofer

■ Rubber Feet for the Front Speakers

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 (3/8") or less and a thread diameter of 4 mm (5/32") or less. (We recommend that you consult a professional home electronics installer.)

Connecting the Speakers—Continued

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 HTX-22HDX.

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

• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

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.

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

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-22HDX’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”).

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Making HDMI Connections

You can connect components with HDMI outputs to the HTX-22HDX’s HDMI IN 1, IN 2, and IN 3 inputs and connect your HDMI TV to the HTX-22HDX’s HDMI OUT. You need HDMI cables to make HDMI connections.

When you connect a component to an HDMI jack, the HDMI indicator on the display lights up.

■ 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-22HDX. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT.

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:

• If your TV is -compatible, set the TV Control setting to On (page 44).

• If your TV is not -compatible, set the Audio TV Out setting to On (page 43) or the TV Control setting to Off (page 44).

• Set your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

• If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel in HDMI Version 1.4, you can listen to the sound from your TV through the HTX-22HDX (see “ARC” on page 44).

• Set the output resolution of your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder 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 displays 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.

Connecting AV Components—Continued

• To listen to an HDMI source component through the HTX-22HDX, 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-22HDX’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-22HDX 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.

• If you set the Audio TV Out setting to On (page 43) to listen through your TV’s speakers, if you adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, the HTX-22HDX’s speakers will also output sound. Also, if you set the TV Control setting to On (page 44) to listen through the speakers of an -compatible TV, if you adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, the HTX-22HDX’s speakers will output sound when the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the HTX-22HDX’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the HTX-22HDX’s volume.

Connecting Onkyo  Components

Connecting an Onkyo RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod to the HTX-22HDX with an  cable and RCA audio cable will allow 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 RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod, the HTX-22HDX will automatically turn on and select the RI-capable component or iPod as the input source. Similarly, when the HTX-22HDX is set to Standby, the Onkyo RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod will also go on Standby.

Direct Change

When playback is started on the Onkyo RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod, the HTX-22HDX automatically selects the RI-capable component or iPod as the input source.

Remote Controller Operation

In addition to controlling the HTX-22HDX, you can also use the HTX-22HDX’s remote controller to control an Onkyo RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod. When doing so, remember to point the remote controller at the HTX-22HDX and not at the RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock. Hookup information is shown below. The remote controller buttons that you can use to control an Onkyo RI-capable component or Onkyo Dock with iPod are explained on pages 25 and 26.

■  Hookup

The following diagram shows how to connect an Onkyo RI-capable component and RI Dock with iPod to the HTX-22HDX for  operation. Use the  cables supplied with the RI-capable component and RI Dock. An  cable is not supplied with the HTX-22HDX.

Connecting AV Components—Continued

Notes:

• If you connect both an Onkyo ND-S1 Digital Media Transport and RI Dock to the HTX-22HDX, since only one input at a time can be set to the “DOCK” input display, connect the ND-S1 to an OPTICAL DIGITAL input, and set that input to the “DOCK” input display, and connect the RI Dock to a LINE input, and set that input to the “TAPE,” “MD,” or another input display. The RI Dock will function properly even though the input display does not match the type of device.

• Use only  cables for  connections.  cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).

• Some components have two  jacks. You can connect either one to the HTX-22HDX. The other jack is for connecting additional -capable components.

• Connect only Onkyo components to  jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

• Some components may not support all  functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

■ ND-S1/Onkyo Dock Linked Functions

See page 26 for linked system control functions.

■ iPod Alarm Function

If you use the Alarm function on your iPod to start playback, the HTX-22HDX will turn on at the specified time and select the input to which the ND-S1 or Onkyo Dock is connected automatically.

Notes:

• Linked functions do not work with video playback, or when the alarm on your iPod is set to play a sound.

• While your iPod is inserted in an ND-S1 or Onkyo Dock, its volume control is disabled.

■ Operating Notes

• Use the volume controls on the HTX-22HDX to adjust the volume.

• If you use your iPod with any other accessories connected, playback detection may not work.

• If you adjust the volume control on your iPod while it’s inserted in an ND-S1 or Onkyo Dock, make sure it’s set to a suitable level before plugging in your earphones.

• If you use a 5th Generation iPod or iPod nano in an ND-S1, during playback the click wheel will not work, so to control functions other than play and pause, use the HTX-22HDX’s remote controller.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

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

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.

With this mode, you can enjoy virtual 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. See “Front 5.1ch” on page 42 to get the best result from this mode.

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

If you have any trouble using the HTX-22HDX, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Power

Can’t turn on the HTX-22HDX

• 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

• Make sure you’ve selected the appropriate input (page 28).

• Check the volume (page 28). The HTX-22HDX 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 18).

• 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 16).

• 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 Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder’s remote controller.

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

• 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 configuration (page 39).

• If there’s no sound from a Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder connected to an HDMI IN, check its 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 39).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Dolby Pro Logic II 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 39).

The center speaker produces no sound

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

• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 39).

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 32).

• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 39).

Troubleshooting—Continued

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 39).

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 Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder’s remote controller.

The volume cannot be set to 79

• Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 43).

• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted (page 40), the maximum possible volume may be reduced.

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 36).

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-22HDX 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-22HDX 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-22HDX. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the HTX-22HDX 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 12).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the HTX-22HDX and there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the HTX-22HDX’s remote control sensor (page 12).

Can’t control other components

• To control an Onkyo RI-capable component or RI Dock with iPod that’s connected with , remember to point the remote controller at the HTX-22HDX, not the other device.

Others

How do I change the language of a multiplex source?

• On the Audio Adjust menu, change the Input (Mux) setting to Main or Sub (page 40).

The  functions don’t work

• To use , you must make an  connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and HTX-22HDX, even if they are connected digitally (page 23).

Troubleshooting—Continued

The HTX-22HDX 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-22HDX to Standby.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

The HTX-22HDX’s HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM.

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, Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder, 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-22HDX uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCPcompatible components will display a picture.

Supported Audio Functionality

• Audio Return Channel in HDMI Version 1.4

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray/DVD player must support HDMI output of these audio formats to use them.

About Copyright Protection

The HTX-22HDX supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), tection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the HTX-22HDX via HDMI must also support HDCP. Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the HTX-22HDX’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 industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

With the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the audio output from an HDMI (1.4) TV can be sent to the HTX-22HDX via its HDMI OUT, so you can listen to the audio from your TV through the HTX-22HDX. You’ll need to select the ARC (TV) input on the HTX-22HDX to do this. To use ARC, your TV must support ARC. If it doesn’t, the ARC setting will be fixed at Off (see page 44).
