Onkyo HTX-22HDX Ultra-Compact HD Home Theater System (Black)

Product Description

Movies and games look great on today’s widescreen TVs. But let’s face it, the audio from your typical flat-panel display leaves a lot to be desired. That’s where the HTX-22HDX steps in. In its basic 2.1-channel configuration, the HTX-22HDX gives you a combo subwoofer and A/V receiver plus two front speakers for stunning mid- and high-range audio. Connections Check. Three HDMI 1.4a inputs let you hook up a Blu-ray player, console, and cable/sat tuner. HDMI 1.4a is not only compatible with upcoming 3D video, it also lets you run an Audio Return Channel from your display’s tuner back to the receiver. Audio processing Check. The HTX-22HDX handles HD formats from DTS and Dolby, offers four distinct audio modes for gaming and includes Onkyo’s very own Theater-Dimensional. The latter creates an immersive and convincing surround effect through just 2.1 channels. Meantime, a new on-screen display makes it easier to adjust settings on the fly, so you can get back to the action sooner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best value buy for a 2.1 mini system to complement a HDTV - Beats Bose's HDTV audio/video replacements., January 20, 2011

I think with the 3 HDMI ins and 1 HDMI out, this 2.1 HTIB has helped simplify my wiring needs to enhance the audio for my HDTV in a fairly large living room which was not presenting itself well for me to fit a 5.1 or larger system.

The audio quality is great and I would say better than what you would get from a Bose Cinematesystem. Buy a $ 100 Blu-ray Player to complement this and it even trumps the Bose 3.2.1 system.

The only disadvantage is that I have a Wii hooked up which does not come with an HDMI output and since this sysytem does not have any other I/O for video other than HDMI, I had to buy a RCA to HDMI converter, again through Amazon for about $ 54.00. New 3 RCA Composite S-video R/L Audio to HDMI Converter.

The one negative is that I have not found a comaptible code for the remote to hook it to my... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect., February 10, 2011

This review is from: Onkyo HTX-22HDX Ultra-Compact HD Home Theater System (Black) (Electronics)
I purchased this system for use in my office/study to supplement the Vizio 26"LED Flat Panel I purchased earlier this month. Since the entire setup (TV, speakers/receiver, BluRay and cable box) sit on one corner of the desk/wall unit size is an issue. The small form factor was what attracted me to the unit.

It is extremely simple to set up. The controls work well and the remote is powerful enough to operate the unit, even when placed behind the flat panel. A definite plus for my installation.

Given the size of the unit it is packed with features and has more than enough inputs for the type of home theater setup I am creating.

Where the unit loses points is in the overall sound quality. The subwoofer is decent if configured and tweaked properly. But the speakers provided as the 'Front Channel' are not what I would expect from a system selling in the $300 range. They are housed in a glossy black plastic with a squishy feeling grill. The sound is tinny... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great System, December 9, 2010
This review is from: Onkyo HTX-22HDX Ultra-Compact HD Home Theater System (Black) (Electronics)
This system is simple to set up and sounds amazing. I wanted something that was small and would sound good for both tv/movies and music. This system does both very well. Movie and TV dialogue is much clearer and has more punch then the TV's speakers. Overall sound quality is excellent. The subwoofer doubles as the receiver and has three HDMI inputs, one HDMI output to the TV, and two digital audio inputs meaning you can run all your components through it. I'm looking forward to adding the center speaker as soon as Onkyo makes it available here in the States.
