Speaker Precautions  
Placement  
Using Close to a TV or Computer  
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood  
and is therefore sensitive to extreme tem-  
peratures and humidity. Do not put it in  
locations subject to direct sunlight or in  
humid places, such as near an air condi-  
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.  
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the  
speakers. 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.  
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically  
sensitive devices and as such are likely to suf-  
fer 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 neu-  
tralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing  
any discoloration effects. If discoloration  
problems persist, try moving the speakers  
away from your TV or monitor. Note that dis-  
coloration can also be caused by a magnet or  
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your  
TV or monitor.  
• The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer is  
designed to be used in the upright vertical  
position only. Do not use it in the horizontal  
or tilted position.  
• If the subwoofer is used near a turntable,  
CD/Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder, howling  
or 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 and  
rear to allow this heat to escape. When  
installing, leave at least 20 cm (8") of free  
space above and behind. Also, leave at least  
20 cm (8") of free space at the sides, other-  
wise, the performance of the bass-reflex  
port may be compromised.  
Input Signal Warning  
The speakers can handle the specified input  
power when used for normal music reproduc-  
tion. 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/Sub-  
woofer before connecting or disconnect-  
ing cables.)  
The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer  
uses a non-shielded design. If you’re using  
a CRT-type TV, to prevent picture interfer-  
ence, position it at least 40 cm (15-3/4")  
away from your TV.

Connecting the Speakers  
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.  
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 ear  
level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward  
slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the  
apex.  
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.  
Center speaker (optional SKS-22X)  
This speaker enhances the front left and  
right speakers, making sound move-  
ments 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.  
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 posi-  
tion, 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:  
Theater-Dimensional listening mode  
With 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 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).  
Tip: To find the best position for your sub-  
woofer, 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.  
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 package  
consists of a center speaker and two surround  
speakers that can be connected directly to the  
HTX-22HDX.

Connecting the Speakers—Continued  
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  
HTX-22HDXPAW  
Note:  
• When you pick up the Amp/Sub-  
woofer to affix the rubber feet,  
place your hands away from the  
speaker underneath.

Keyhole mounting slot  
If you intend to wall-mount the front speakers using  
their keyhole slots, affix two rubber feet to the rear of  
each speaker for added stability.  
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 diam-  
eter of 4 mm (5/32") or less. (We recommend that you consult a professional home electron-  
ics installer.)

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.  
Remove the pre-  
cut insulation from  
the ends of the  
speaker cables,  
and twist the bare  
wires tightly.  
1
2
• Connect only speakers with an impedance  
of 6 ohms or higher.  
• Read the instructions supplied with your  
speakers.  
Push the lever to open  
the hole, insert the  
bare wire into the hole,  
and then release the  
lever.  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polar-  
ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only  
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) ter-  
minals to only negative (–) terminals. If  
you get them the wrong way around, the  
sound will be out of phase and will sound  
unnatural.  
Make sure that the speaker terminals are grip-  
ping the bare wires, not the insulation.  
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker  
cables may affect the sound quality and  
should be avoided.  
• Be careful not to short  
the positive and nega-  
tive 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 termi-  
nals.

• 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 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 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.  
• See page 49 for more information about HDMI.

Connecting Components with Digital Outputs  
You can connect components with digital audio outputs to the HTX-22HDX’s 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 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 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) 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 func-  
tions. 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 compo-  
nent 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 control-  
ler 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 compo-  
nent 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  
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.

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.

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.  
Orchestra  
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.  
Unplugged  
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.  
Studio-Mix  
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.  
Game-RPG  
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.  
Use this mode when playing action game discs.  
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.  
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.  
Game-Action  
Game-Rock  
Game-Sports  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening  
area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround  
back speakers.  
  
All Ch Stereo  
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.  
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.  
  
T-D (Theater-  
Dimensional)  
See “Front 5.1ch” on page 42 to get the best result from this mode.  
Notes:  
*2. For Blu-ray discs, Dolby Digital is used.  
*3. The HTX-22HDX accepts DSD signals via its HDMI inputs. Depending on your player, setting your player to output  
PCM may produce a better sound. If this is the case, set your player to output PCM.  
*4. Depending on the input source, DTS will be used.  
• The listening modes cannot be selected with some source formats.

On: Late Night function on.  
Notes:  
• The Late Night function can be used only  
when the input source is Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.  
• The effect of the Late Night function  
depends on the material that you are play-  
ing and the intention of the original sound  
designer, and with some material there will  
be little or no effect when you select the  
different options.  
• The Late Night function is set to Off when

Panorama  
EX. BASS  
With this setting, you can broaden the width  
of the front stereo image when using the  
Dolby Pro Logic II listening mode.  
Through experiment and listening tests, EX.  
BASS technology was developed to provide a  
more natural and deeper bass. It offers a more  
dynamic and deeper presence with movies  
and music.  
On:  
Panorama function on.  
Off:  
EX. BASS off.  
Off:

EX. BASS on (default).  
With this setting, you can move the sound  
field forward or backward when using the  
Dolby Pro Logic II listening mode. It can be  
adjusted from –3 to +3. The default value is 0.  
Higher settings move the sound field back-  
ward. 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. Con-  
versely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in  
mono, or there’s not enough surround sound,  
move it backward.  
LstnAngl (Listening Angle)  
With this setting, you can optimize the The-  
ater-Dimensional listening mode by specify-  
ing the angle of the front left and right  
speakers relative to your listening position.  
Ideally, the front left and right speakers  
should be equidistant from your listening  
position and at an angle close to one of the  
two available settings.

Center Width  
20˚/40˚  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of  
the sound from the center speaker when using  
the Dolby Pro Logic II listening mode. Nor-  
mally, 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 dis-  
tributed to the front left and right speakers to  
create a phantom center). This setting con-  
trols the front left, right, and center mix,  
allowing you to adjust the weight of the cen-  
ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0  
to 7. The default value is 3.  
Narrow:  
Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.  
Middle:  
Select if the listening angle is 30 degrees  
(default).  
Wide:  
Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.  
Center Image  
With this setting, you can specify by how  
much the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated in order to create the pseudo center  
channel.  
A setting of 0 produces the strongest sense of  
a center channel, which can be useful when  
your listening position is not central. Higher  
settings produce a more faithful stereo image.  
The default value is 2.

Troubleshooting  
• 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 you have any trouble using the  
HTX-22HDX, look for a solution in this sec-  
tion. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself,  
contact your Onkyo dealer.  
Before you contact your Onkyo dealer, try  
resetting the HTX-22HDX, as follows:  
To reset the HTX-22HDX 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-22HDX will enter Standby mode.  
• 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.  
Note that resetting the HTX-22HDX will  
delete all of your custom settings.  
Power  
Only the front speakers produce sound  
• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is  
selected, only the front speakers and sub-  
woofer produce sound.  
Can’t turn on the HTX-22HDX  
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged into  
the wall outlet properly.  
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 39).  
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,  
wait 5 seconds or more, then plug it back in  
again.  
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).  
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.  
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).  
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are  
pushed in all the way (page 18).  
• Make sure that the cables are properly con-  
nected to the output jacks on the source com-  
ponent.  
• 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 ter-  
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 lis-  
tening mode, not much sound may be pro-  
duced by the surround speakers. Try another  
listening mode (page 32).

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., out-  
put level, sampling rate, or frequency response  
changed) and the HTX-22HDX doesn’t recog-  
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases,  
you may hear noise.  
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 39).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal for-  
mat  
• 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 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 imme-  
diately.  
The volume cannot be set to 79  
• Check to see if a maximum volume has been  
• When the levels of each speaker have been  
adjusted (page 40), the maximum possible  
volume may be reduced.  
Remote Controller  
The remote controller doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with  
• 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  
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 interfer-  
ence. Try repositioning your cables.  
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.  
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 func-  
tion on your player may produce a short audi-  
ble noise. This is not a malfunction.  
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).  
• 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

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 elec-  
tricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely  
event that this happens, unplug the power  
cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 sec-  
onds, 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 cor-  
rectly.  
Before disconnecting the power cord from  
the wall outlet, set the HTX-22HDX to  
Standby.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
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).  
*1  
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-22HDX uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-  
compatible components will display a picture.  
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 Multi-  
channel PCM.  
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  
*2  
The HTX-22HDX supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy-pro-  
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.  
*3  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG 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 specifica-  
tion 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

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)—Continued  
Notes:  
• 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.  
• 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.
