Onkyo HTX-22HDX (black)
You'll also notice that jacks for surround speakers and a center channel has the rear speaker. Although the HTX 22HDX as 2.1 system is delivered, it is possible to make speakers add on package the Onkyo SKS-22 X, to acquire a complete 5.1 system.
Audio setup
Since our HTX 22HDX review sample the plain 2.1 channel-version was, initially, we thought it would not require calibration adjustments Setup or speakers.
As we have heard, we found that the subwoofer volume was too low, so we up the Sub with a few taps on the remote ch SEL button rotated. As we we hear further found also, film dialogue was a bit hard to follow. Since it no center channel volume possible in a 2.1 channel system, offers Onkyo a center image correction in the HTX 22HDX on-screen setup menu. The center image control dampens the right and left channel volume to increase volume of the center channel effectively. It improved dialog intelligibility to the point where it is about average for a stereo or sound bar system.
The Setup menu has a few potentially useful features such as a user adjustable Max volume setting and power on volume with which you can set the HTX 22HDX first volume.
Performance
We started our HTX 22HDX auditions with Ben Affleck heist film, "The city". Located in Boston Charlestown neighborhood, scenes of the film on location delivered a very realistic soundtrack for our listening tests. Of gunfire exchange between the robbers and the police in a garage in Fenway Park had a good effect, and the cries of the wounded robber echo in the garage were chillen. But the HTX 22HDX subwoofer not enough power for the heavyweight sound create an armored truck crash and the solid thud, when flipped it over. Rotate the Sub volume and the EX-bass enhancement function not questions to help; While all of our music and film hear the HTX 22HDX low end was tests consistently light makes. Zvox the sound bar doesn't come 430 HSD with a separate subwoofer, but the speaker produces more and better bass and played louder than the HTX 22HDX.
With the HTX 22HDX two speakers about 6 meters set apart projected Diana Krall concert DVD "live in Rio" a large, open soundstage, we consider what we from the sound bar speaker systems, including the 430 HSD is addressed. kranjcevic piano, acoustic bass, and the orchestral strings sound good, but her voice and the drums basin a hard had a strange hollow sound edge and the applause, tinny. Reduction of the volume to a more moderate level tamed some of the hardness.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "Mojo" Blu-ray felt lackluster high resolution DTS master audio soundtrack. The HTX 22HDX can games quite noisy, but music rock sounds loaded, if you pressed. Dynamics limited, although bass definition was reasonably good.
The HTX 22HDX is probably best suited for very small spaces (less than 200 square feet), and for buyers who want only a small step to built-in TV speakers.
Wrap up
We love almost always the sound quality of the Onkyo home theatre systems, we were surprised that the HTX 22HDX was sonically underwhelming. Although design, functionality and price are nice, it is really only for buyers, which require a large home theater sound not suitable.

Rated 2.0 starsPros: Good amount of connectivity, easy to set up, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Image would sometimes repeatedly Flash if observed by the system. Onkyo SKS-22 X update this unit to 5.1 speaker package is not available in the United States you can buy course other speakers, but it is not the same and at what price?
Rated 5.0 starsPros: Upgrade possibility to 5.1-> oh yeah! Also 7.1 replication, seamless HD audio with 3d pass-through, HDMI 1.4, digital optical audio, listening modes and tweaks, vibrates sub-woofer ground far smoother and more realistic than my Onkyo 250w Sub.
Disadvantages: Wireless satellite speakers is sauce.
Summary: First way, crank the Sub peak performance and correct set listening distances for each channel. Buy the extension speakers (HTX-22HDX), which include the medium-sized speakers, and two rear surround - this makes the listening experience are buttery smooth, and outrageously fun with all of the recipient '...

Summary: First way, crank the Sub peak performance and correct set listening distances for each channel. Buy the extension speakers (HTX-22HDX), which include the medium-sized speakers, and two rear surround - this makes the listening experience buttery smooth and outrageous fun with all of the recipient are selectable listening modes. Now I'm "First descent" watch with my PSP connecting the HDTV with optical audio output connected to the Onkyo. Incredible! I have also heard that HD home theater system that cost triple the price for a HTX 22HDX, said this powerful little HTX 22HDX has a 7.1 Onkyo smooth sound with more complexity. This 50-watt subwoofer really if manually adjusted impresses max output - exceeds my 250w sub with perfect delivery and silky smooth bass that has been booming the soil with low pulsating sound. Amazing. The craftsmanship is unmatched. Next test will be if my Dell XPS arriving 17 3d, to get a truly phenomenal experience of 3d video and audio! Note: this editor has not clearly enough time with this system, or Matthew Moskovciak and Steve Guttenberg, but which have a complete 5.1 package (?) sorry presentation is embarrassing and haphazard. The u.k.. CNET site review was just so well done and this evaluated system 5-star, because the time have a complete 5.1 HTX 22HDX fully loaded system with the SKS-22 X speaker injected - which explains why it out are the extension is taken a need analyze. Also, explains the recent breakthrough in a study of the strikingly realistic sound or the many advantages of the 3d sound versus 7.1 or 9.1. This discovery proved that even a 2.1 3D system far superior depth and precise sound experience compared to 7.1 or 9.1 systems can provide.
