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 PrecautionsMaking 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-
1
cut insulation from
the ends of the
speaker cables,
and twist the bare
wires tightly.
Push the lever to open
2
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.
19
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 Components with Digital Outputs
You can connect components with digital audio outputs to the HTX-22HDX’s DIGITAL COAXIAL IN 1, OPTICAL IN 2, and OPTICAL IN 3 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 Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder with an optical or coaxial digital
audio cable. If your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder supports HDMI, you can use an HDMI connection instead (see page 49).
Notes:
• If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel in HDMI Version 1.4, and your TV is con-
nected to the HTX-22HDX via HDMI, a digital audio connection (coaxial or optical) from
your TV to the HTX-22HDX is not necessary (see page 49).
• 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 42).

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.
23
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 left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used
with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such
as karaoke DVDs.
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.
The MULTI CH indicator lights up when a PCM multichannel signal is input.
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound

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.

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).
46
• 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).
47
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).
• 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.
• 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.
