With Hi-fi Power On Tap, the TX-8220 Offers You More

Universal connectivity meets pure analog amplification in a simple hub that sounds a whole lot better than its modest price suggests. All the

essentials are covered with digital audio inputs for TV and BD/DVD player connection, along with four analog line-level inputs for CD player

and everything else. But the TX-8220 also takes value up a notch with MM phono input for turntable and built-in Bluetooth

A few taps on a touchscreen, trackpad, or mouse has music from apps flowing out of your loudspeakers thanks to Auto Connect. See how

bass, treble, and balance controls, speaker A/B Drive, and subwoofer pre-out let you calibrate tone to suit unique speakers, customize a

multi-zone setup, and enhance LFEs in film soundtracks. Boasting clean, minimal design with maximum versatility, the TX-8220 is great value.

TX-8220

Stereo Receiver

Bluetooth® Transforms Mobile Audio

Into Room-filling Sound

With low-latency Bluetooth 4.1 wireless technology, you can
stream almost any audio that’s playing on your smartphone,
tablet, laptop, or PC applications. Auto Connect function
makes pairing up and playing back your music much faster and
easier than before, with enhanced stability reducing loss in
audio quality.

Connects Your Turntable, CD Player, TV, and
Media Streamer

Aimed at music and film lovers that want to add great sound
to a variety of media sources, the TX-8220 comes extensively
equipped with audio connections. The receiver is one of the
few at this price to include a quality MM phono stage for your
turntable. It also has digital inputs to route audio from
TV through amp and speakers. Four analog line inputs are
included should you prefer your source device to handle
D/A conversion, or for connecting a phone or DAP.

Rich and Powerful Hi-fi Sound

Pair the TX-8220 with your choice of loudspeakers and add
high-fidelity sound to everyday entertainment, from streaming
audio to TV programs, vinyl, and CD. Discrete amplifiers,
massive EI transformer, and customized capacitors deliver
ample driving power with low distortion. High current grips
the speaker cones for more accurate control, restoring vitality
and detail to music. Non-phase-shift circuitry, meanwhile,
clearly focuses the audio image.

High Current and Low Impedance Architecture

Dynamic passages in music and film soundtracks can see
impedance spike and dip dramatically for short periods. This
can place up to 10 times the usual load on your amplifier, and
if it can’t meet power demands, sound quality suffers. Onkyo’s
high-current low-impedance WRAT design uses a massive
EI transformer to drive your speakers accurately, even under
heavy loads.

FM/AM Tuner with 40 Memory Presets

Scan, name, and save 40 FM and AM radio stations for easy
one-touch recall anytime. Bring a huge variety of programming
to your listening space, from news and sport to music and
talk radio.

A/B Speaker Posts for Multi-room Audio

TX-8220 features two sets of speaker posts enabling
connection of two pairs of speakers. The receiver is designed
to drive either a single pair of speakers rated at 4–16 Ohms,
or two pairs of 8–16 Ohms speakers, allowing you to enjoy
the same audio source in two rooms at once, or to easily
switch between two sets of speakers.

Bass, Treble, and Balance Controls

Bass, treble, and balance buttons are useful for adjusting the
tone characteristics of your music for satisfying response with
any speaker type. Carefully designed tone circuits—which
some receivers don’t include—let you personalize sound to
taste with no perceived loss in audio quality.
