Product Details

Onkyo Stereo Receiver, Model TX8222

While new technologies come and go, the fundamentals of competent receiver design remain constant. It is best to think of it in simple terms: a power supply, an input stage, a driver stage, and an output stage that all combine to amplify signals without any loss in quality. The current that actually drives the loudspeakers comes from a power source via the receiver’s power supply. You can never underestimate the importance of the power supply, and all other audio processing functions cannot rule over good solid amplification. This is the direction Onkyo has taken with the TX8222. Built for those people who value the benefits of time-proven amplification design, the TX8222 takes core Onkyo technology—and an array of features you’ll actually use—to bring you a no-nonsense stereo receiver that will deliver audio and radio signals with agreeable quality.

        It is getting more and more difficult to find receivers that have a pre-amp for my turntable. This product has one and it works great. It's even an upgrade to 50W from my old receiver that lasted more than 25 years. Thanks for carrying this product. As vinyl is making a comeback, I hope you sell more!

              Comments about Onkyo Stereo Receiver - Black Finish:

              It was a great system with amazing sound, but the receiver was huge and maybe too powerful for our purposes. All we needed was a CD player, and the CD player didn't work so we had to return it, and thus we also returned this receiver. But I really enjoyed it when we were able to hear the sound that it produced. Very powerful as well!

              I would have liked the unit a LOT more if there was a visible volume level on the enormous display surface. There is a dot on the volume wheel to give you an idea of how far advanced the volume is, but a digital display would have been a nice touch. Other than that minor complaint, a solid unit with clean sound that's easy to set up.

                Comments about Onkyo Stereo Receiver - Black Finish:

                I needed to replace an elderly amplifier and tuner with something straightforward that could handle two sets of speakers. My speakers didn't warrant anything high-end but I definitely wanted a receiver that had an input for my turntable as well as all the other components. The Onkyo TX8222 had what I was looking for at an attractive price but the clincher was a comment in one of the other reviews: great FM reception with the supplied antenna. He was spot on! My favorite NPR station used to drop out occasionally and was fussy about antenna positioning. It's crystal clear now and I'm getting a bunch of other stations I didn't know were there. Great reception alone makes the Onkyo a winner for me. I don't have an Ipod so the docking thing didn't mean much but I've learned that my wife will be getting a nano for Christmas. We'll have to see how that works out. I'm definitely considering upgrading the CD and tape decks to Onkyo components.

                Service and delivery comments:

                Shipped immediately, easily tracked, arrived as promised. Both Abt and Onkyo's packaging was fine.

                  Perfect for what we needed.
                  Was looking for just a basic amp to power 2 sets of speakers and run with our cd player and turntable.
                  Plenty of power and using FM antenna supplied and can get stations we couldn't before.
                  Very happy with quality and price.

                  I specifically called Bose to get a recommendation for a replacement stereo receiver that would work effectively with the Bose 901 speakers which have to be run with the Bose 901 equalizer. This very reasonable Onkyo unit was recommended, and I am thoroughly pleased. [...]

                  Comments about Onkyo Stereo Receiver - Black Finish:

                  My first TX8222 purchased a few months ago direct from Onkyo, replaced a many years old TX800 that was moved to my garage/workshop. The TX8222 is now in my living room where I can enjoy the convenience of its remote control and excellent quality of sound. I just purchased my second TX8222 [...] for a computer system dedicated to recording LPs, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, etc to CDs or DVDs. Turntable, tape deck, etc, all connect to the TX8222 and the line output goes to a small analog to USB converter that bypasses the sound board on my computer. The computer also has two scanners for converting pictures, slides, and 35mm negatives to digital format.
