Speaker Precautions

Placement

The subwoofer cabinet is made out of woodand is therefore sensitive to extreme tem-peratures and humidity. Do not put it in

locations subject to direct sunlight or inhumid places, such as near an air condi-tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

Do not put water or other liquids close to thespeakers. If liquid is spilled over the speak-ers, 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 sur-faces, where they may fall and cause dam-age, will affect the sound quality.

The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer isdesigned to be used in the upright verticalposition only. Do not use it in the horizontalor tilted position.

If the subwoofer is used near a turntable,CD/Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder, howlingor skipping may occur. To prevent this,position the subwoofer away from such

components, or turn down the volume. The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer

generates heat and has vents at the top andrear to allow this heat to escape. Wheninstalling, leave at least 20 cm (8") of freespace above and behind. Also, leave at least20 cm (8") of free space at the sides, other-wise, the performance of the bass-reflexport may be compromised.The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwooferuses a non-shielded design. If youre usinga CRT-type TV, to prevent picture interfer-ence, position it at least 40 cm (15-3/4")away from your TV.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magneticallysensitive devices and as such are likely to suf-fer discoloration or picture distortion when

conventional speakers are placed nearby. Toprevent this, the HTX-22HDXST speakersfeature internal magnetic shielding. In somesituations, however, discoloration may still bean issue, in which case you should turn offyour TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes,and then turn it back on again. This normallyactivates the degaussing function, which neu-tralizes the magnetic field, thereby removingany discoloration effects. If discolorationproblems persist, try moving the speakersaway from your TV or monitor. Note that dis-coloration can also be caused by a magnet ordemagnetizing tool thats too close to yourTV or monitor.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified inputpower when used for normal music reproduc-

tion. If any of the following signals are fed tothem, even if the input power is within thespecified rating, excessive current may flowin the speaker coils, causing burning or wirebreakage: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. (Alwaysturn off the HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Sub-woofer before connecting or disconnect-

ing cables.)7. Microphone feedback.

Connecting the Speakers

Thanks to the HTX-22HDXs superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a realsense of movement in your own homejust 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 DolbyPro Logic II, DTS, or Onkyos original DSP listening modes.

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

Enjoying Home Theater

Corner

position

1/3 of wallposition

Center speaker (optional SKS-22X)This speaker enhances the front left andright speakers, making sound move-ments distinct and providing a full soundimage. For movies its used mainly fordialog.Position it close to your TV (preferablyon top) facing forward at about ear level,or at the same height as the front leftand right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers (optionalSKS-22X)These speakers are used for precise soundpositioning and to add realistic ambience.Position them at the sides of the listener, orslightly behind, about 23 feet (60100 cm)above ear level. Ideally they should be equallyspaced from the listener.

Subwoofer (HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer)The subwoofer handles the bass sounds ofthe LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.The volume and quality of the bass outputfrom your subwoofer will depend on its posi-tion, the shape of your listening room, andyour listening position. In general, a goodbass sound can be obtained by installing thesubwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third theway along the front wall, as shown.

Tip: To find the best position for your sub-woofer, while playing a movie or some musicwith good bass, experiment by placing yoursubwoofer at various positions within theroom and choose the one that provides themost satisfying results.

Front left and right speakers (HTX-22HDXST)These output the main sound. Their role in a home the-ater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image.They should be positioned facing the listener at about earlevel, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inwardslightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at theapex.

Notes:The HTX-22HDX Digital Surround System con-sists of an Amp/Subwoofer and two front speak-ers.Designed especially for use with the HTX-22HDX,the optional Onkyo SKS-22X speaker packageconsists of a center speaker and two surround

speakers that can be connected directly to theHTX-22HDX.Be sure to make the necessary Speaker Configu-ration settings when you connect additionalspeakers (see page 39).

Tip:Theater-Dimensional listening modeWith this mode, you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 sur-round sound even with only two or three speakers.

Good results may not be possible if theres toomuch reverb, so we recommend that you use thismode in an environment with little or no naturalreverb (see pages 35, 42).

Connecting the SpeakersContinued

You can improve the sound quality by affixing the included rubber feet to raise the speakers offthe 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 supportingstrength of the screws depends on the wall material and the position of the studs. Use screwsas thick and long as possible, with a head diameter of 10 mm (3/8") or less and a thread diam-eter of 4 mm (5/32") or less. (We recommend that you consult a professional home electron-ics installer.)

Read the following before connecting yourspeakers:

Disconnect the power cord from the walloutlet 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 polar-

ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to onlypositive (+) terminals, and negative () ter-minals to only negative () terminals. If

you get them the wrong way around, thesound will be out of phase and will soundunnatural.

Unnecessarily long or very thin speakercables may affect the sound quality andshould be avoided.

Be careful not to shortthe positive and nega-tive wires. Doing somay damage theHTX-22HDX.

Dont connect more than one cable to eachspeaker terminal. Doing so may damagethe HTX-22HDX.

Dont connect a speaker to several termi-nals.

1 Remove the pre-cut insulation from

the ends of thespeaker cables,

and twist the barewires tightly.

2Push the lever to openthe hole, insert the

bare wire into the hole,and then release thelever.

Make sure that the speaker terminals are grip-ping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Connecting AV Components

Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV compo-nents.

Dont connect the power cord until youve completed and double-checked all AV connec-tions.

Optical Digital Jacks

The HTX-22HDXs optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plugis inserted and close when its 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-channelaudio inputs and outputs (typically labeled R). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audioinputs and outputs (typically labeled L).

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

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

Connecting AV ComponentsContinued

You can connect components with HDMI outputs to the HTX-22HDXs HDMI IN 1, IN 2, andIN 3 inputs and connect your HDMI TV to the HTX-22HDXs 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 displayon your TV.

Audio Signals

Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers connected to theHTX-22HDX. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT.

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TVs 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/recorders HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

Notes:

If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel in HDMI Version 1.4, you can listen to thesound 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 resolu-tion 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 thatDVI connections only carry video, so youll 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-22HDX, you must configure yoursystem so that video from the HDMI source component can be displayed on your TV (i.e., onyour TV, select the HDMI input thats connected to the HTX-22HDXs HDMI OUT). This isnecessary because a component identification check has to be performed on your TV beforean 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 theres no sound from a component connected viaHDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected components instruction manual for details.

If you set the Audio TV Out setting to On (page 43) to listen through your TVs speakers, ifyou adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, the HTX-22HDXs speakers will also outputsound. Also, if you set the TV Control setting to On (page 44) to listen through the speakersof an -compatible TV, if you adjust the volume on the HTX-22HDX, theHTX-22HDXs speakers will output sound when the TVs speakers are muted. To stop the

HTX-22HDXs speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TVs settings, orturn down the HTX-22HDXs volume. See page 49 for more information about HDMI.

You can connect components with digital audio outputs to the HTX-22HDXs DIGITAL COAX-IAL 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 andDTS, you must connect your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder with an optical or coaxial digitalaudio cable. If your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder supports HDMI, you can use an HDMI con-nection 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) fromyour 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, inwhich case youll need to turn it on.

If one of your source components is noticeably louder or quieter than your others, use theIntelliVolume function to adjust its input level (see page 42).
