Onkyo TX-8220 2 Home Audio Channel Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth,black

My beloved 1982 Mitsubishi receiver finally bit the dust. I’m a musician, and am pretty picky about sound quality. The Onkyo TX-8220 sounds quite good with my 1982 Yamaha NS4 speakers (6 ohms, about 35 Watts). Plenty of power for my modest living room, but might lack power to drive 16-ohm speakers. I set both bass and treble EQ at +5 for my speakers. Sound is maybe a tad muddy, but there’s good definition, good bass and treble response, pleasant sound all day long doesn’t get “old” on the ears. There is no sub-woofer connection, so it’s just a plain stereo hi-fi for two speakers (with option for A/B speaker sets). Jazz, classical, acoustic styles sound quite good. If you’re into 5-channel techno, probably not for you. Bluetooth connected easily to my iPhone and sounds good; no problem reconnecting so far (after 3 days’ extensive use). FM receiver is good. No USB port. I couldn’t ask for more for a decent unit on a budget.

First, let me note than I am not Verena, but her husband. She ordered me this Onkyo stereo receiver (not surround sound) for my birthday, after my thirty-year-old Harman-Kardon finally began wearing out recently. The Onkyo TX-8220 (from Amazon) is a perfect fit for our family's love of music on a tight budget! With its reasonable price ; clean sound* ; ease of operation ; digital, analogue, and Bluetooth inputs ; subwoofer and various other outputs ; and plenty of power to drive two speaker pairs, this Onkyo is divine! *When I mention "clean sound," I mean 100 dB (signal-to-noise ratio) of clean. Considering this measurement, then a normal listening level between 50 and 80 dB would have essentially NO distortion, not even a semiconscious degree of it. // The sound output is well-blended across the listening frequencies, showing excellent musicality and stereo separation. Bass response is good enough, though far better with the addition of a sub. // Overall, the Onkyo TX-8220 stereo receiver (integrated amp with built-in radio tuner) offers the sound, features, and build quality which are atypical and unexpected of a unit at its price point. Truly, it emits much higher-end music reproduction than its lower-end cost would suggest! I now have a current-model Sony 10-inch subwoofer helping my indoor mains, and an identical one (safely weather-protected) with the outdoor set. My Onkyo provides great sound both inside and out! [NOTE: This receiver actually provides only one subwoofer output. However, since a powered subwoofer provides its own amplification, that output may be used safely and effectively to connect two powered subs simultaneously, by plugging a high-quality "Y" adapter cable into it, and then running a longer cable from each side of the "Y" to each of the two subs. The two longer cables should be identical to each other. / Also, it bears noting that a receiver's subwoofer jack is not switched; it's always potentially active except with headphones. Thus, it's wise either to keep the subs' on-board "off/on" switches readily accessible by hand, or to add an external switch for each woofer. There may be occasions when you'll want only one playing at a time, or neither.]

I have had this receiver for a couple of months now, in my backyard shed, and here are my experiences so far: -Package arrived in good shape, very well packed, no issues - I connected two sets of speakers, not the easiest since the terminals are close together and I have very large hands. But once you get them hooked up and tightened, the wires are very secure. -Device hookup: I have a turntable, CD player, and "line" (which I used to play an old ipod) hooked to the receiver, with RCA plugs. Everything plugged in easily and quickly, with no issues. All devices play normally. -Set up: The set up menu worked OK, but is not easily intuitive, at least not to me. I needed to set the SP Impedance to 4 since I was running two sets of speakers (see instruction manual page 22) It took me 4-5 tries to get it set the way I needed it. - Set up of Bluetooth. Very easy to pair with my iphone and it works fine, pairs up quickly, and plays normally -Remote: In my situation I don't use the remote all that much but it seems fine. - Receiver controls: these are all OK, except I wish the tuner buttons on the front of the unit were bigger. Otherwise no issues. -FM tuner: I have hooked up the unit to an outside FM antenna, and get good reception, no issues at all. I recommend an outdoor antenna if you listen to a lot of FM, which I do. On good days I can even get a station 125 miles away. - AM tuner: not good at all. I hooked up the included AM antenna, but some days I can't get anything. I am going to try a different antenna set up, but don't get this unit to listen to AM. - Set up of FM station pre-sets: Easy, no issues, just follow the manual. - Sound of the unit : I replaced an old JCPenney MCS unit (circa 1980) that had the right channel go bad. When I first turned the Onkyo on, it sounded tinny and the sound was thin. I thought oh no, but I just turned it on and let it play for about 36 hours and it broke in well. Now it sounds good, certainly acceptable for a shed. -So that's my review. If I haven't covered something about this unit, that means I am not using it.

I’ve had zero complaints about the Onkyo TX‑8220 itself. It’s straightforward, dependable, and delivers great sound without any fuss. Once it’s set up, it just works. One important tip for streaming apps: If you use Netflix, make sure your Netflix audio output is set correctly. Before I figured that out, anything I tried to watch on Netflix made horrible noises, and I kept adjusting my TV and receiver settings thinking something was wrong. Turns out the issue was entirely on Netflix’s end — not the TV, not the receiver. After switching the audio format in my Netflix settings, everything worked perfectly. This also fixed the sound problems I was having with Amazon movies that play through the Netflix app. Since making that change, I haven’t had a single issue. Bottom line: The receiver itself is great. Just double‑check your streaming app’s audio settings if you run into weird sound glitches. Once that’s sorted, the TX‑8220 performs flawlessly.

I decided to go back to stereo from a 7.1 system. Mostly, I was sick and tired of futzing with a receiver that always wanted to set itself it’s way instead of my way. This little Onkyo sounds great. It Bluetooths to my TV perfectly and easily. It is driving a pair of CV Heresy speakers with ease. It connects my cd player, turntable, dvd, etc. I have been a pretty snobby audiophile for decades . My other systems sport Macintosh and Marantz receivers (I have five vintage systems in my home). I must say this Onkyo compares favorably!

Excellent receiver for small room set-up. I needed a receiver to replace my burned -out yamaha receiver (a 2000 purchase that served me well for 20+ years). I needed a receiver with multiple analog in puts and out puts as I also run my dvd and blu-ray players through the receiver as well as a dedicated cd input for a cd player(I purchased an Onkyo C-7030 cd player at the same time I purchased this Onkyo receiver). My speakers are B&W DM601S2's purchased at the same time as my Yamaha and still sound brand new. My listening room is about 10x20 in size so I was not in need of an overwhelming receiver. This receiver fit the bill perfectly especially after I found out that this humble receiver also included a sub out which sealed the deal. It is very rare to find such a feature on a basic entry level receiver. I also purchased an acoustic audio psw8 sub to go along with this set up. Now that this system has been with me for a couple of years without any problems I decided it was time to sing its praises. The sound quality is exceptional and easy on the ears and my cd collection sounds magnificent. If there is any quibble I have it is having to turn up volume when watching videos. I haven't figured out why but perhaps it may be due to the mastering process for the dvd's and blu-rays that force me to have to increase the volume. This is a minor quibble since I primarily listen to music. So, if you are looking for a receiver for a small room set up I highly recommend this fine receiver.

I started out trying to power a pair of Klipsch R-51M speakers with a fosi BT30D Pro amp, the amp seemed under powered and would switch itself off, and the seal on manufacturers box was pre-torn when I removed it from shipping box, I did a return and ordered a Onkyo TX-8220 receiver, which is rated at 65 watts lower than the fosi amp. The Onkyo receiver was well worth the extra money, especially for powering the R-51M speakers, I think the fosi BT30D Pro amp does not put out the amps that the company claims it does, and maybe the 30 on the model number signifies the max continuous watts per channel rating. These Klipsch speakers have outstanding sound with the Onkyo amp, and with the use of a computer equalizer plugged into the Onkyo amp with a 3.5 jack to rca cable, I would definitely buy this combination again and would put it up against many other surround systems that are much more expensive, and without the use of a subwoofer.

Receiver stopped working properly after less than two months of ownership. Digital inputs inoperable. (Tried several source units; receiver would not work with any of them.) Contacted seller with NO RESPONSE. Contacted manufacturer, and they will only address problem via repair (not replacement even though item is brand new), and ONLY if I pay for costly shipping to a distant repair facility. No local options. This is a defective product and it should be delisted from Amazon. BUYER BEWARE. Buy ONLY if you don't need/want digital inputs. Or better yet, choose another brand and especialy another seller. This seller has no interest in customer service.

I bought this receiver to use with my computer for music and games, thinking I could use the optical output on my PC and get better sound through the receiver's dac, and also be able to use some nice, non-amplified speakers I had kicking around all in one go. This turned out to be a really good idea. The speakers go to tectonic levels with minimal distortion. Games and music have way more punch and snap, and there is more insight, clarity and detail with everything. I use it mostly with headphones and music and gaming is night and day from my computer's build in sound card. Very happy $350 CAD well spent. This receiver is sort of a nostalgic piece - a classic 90's design but with digital inputs. You don't see many good stereo receivers anymore - especially with 4ohm ratings unless you go with something used or spend lots of money on Hi-Fi gear. To add I don't use the bluetooth but I tested it and it was super easy to pair with my phone. Excellent buy!

DESDE HACE MUCHOS AÑOS HE SIDO CONSUMIDOR DE LA MARCA SONY, POR LO QUE ESTOY ACOSTUMBRADO A ESCUCHAR LA POTENCIA QUE OFRECEN LOS EQUIPOS DE LA SERIE “GENEZI”; SIN EMBARGO, HAY QUE SER HONESTO, UNA COSA ES RUIDO Y OTRA COSA ES CALIDAD DE SONIDO … Y ESTO ÚLTIMO ES ALGO QUE ACTUALMENTE YA NO ME CONVENCE DE SONY, MÁS AUN CON ESA “FERIA DE COLORES”, TANTO EN LOS PANELES DE CONTROL COMO EN LAS BOCINAS … ALGO QUE PARA MI LUCE DE MUY MAL GUSTO Y QUE REALMENTE ME EXTRAÑA DE SONY; ESTO SIN CONTAR LAS TÍPICAS FALLAS QUE DESDE HACE YA UNOS AÑOS PRESENTAN TODOS SUS APARATOS EN LOS BOTONES, QUE CUANDO SELECCIONAS UNA FUNCIÓN EL APARATO HACE CUALQUIER OTRA COSA. DICHO LO ANTERIOR Y EN BUSCA DE OTRAS OPCIONES, RECORDÉ ESTA MARCA QUE CONOZCO DESDE HACE ALGUNAS DÉCADAS Y QUE NUNCA ME HABÍA PASADO POR LA MENTE ADQUIRIR UNO DE ESTOS EQUIPOS, YA QUE PRÁCTICAMENTE YO ESTABA “CASADO” CON SONY. HE DECIDIDO AVENTURARME A EXPERIMENTAR LO QUE LA MARCA ONKYO OFRECE EN SUS EQUIPOS … Y HONESTAMENTE; DE ENTRADA, 100 WATTS COMO MÁXIMA SALIDA EN ESTE EQUIPO, DE VERDAD QUE ASUSTA, PERO CUANDO ASIMILAS LO QUE EN UN PRINCIPIO MENCIONABA SOBRE LA DIFERENCIA ENTRE RUIDO Y CALIDAD, ESE SENTIMIENTO SE DESVANECE Y ES SOLO HASTA QUE DESEMPACAS, CONECTAS, ENCIENDES Y ESCUCHAS EL EQUIPO, CUANDO LLEGA LA SATISFACCIÓN. LA PRIMERA IMPRESIÓN QUE OBTIENES AL SACAR EL EQUIPO DE SU CAJA, ES LO ELEGANTE QUE LUCE, LA CALIDAD EN SU FABRICACIÓN Y SUS ACABADOS. CONSIDERO PRECISO MENCIONAR QUE NO CUENTO CON ALTAVOCES DE CATEGORÍA “ALTA FIDELIDAD”, POR LO QUE LE HE CONECTADO TEMPORALMENTE UN PAR DE BAFLES DE UN MICROCOMPONENTE SAMSUNG QUE POR AHÍ TENÍA (DE 6 OHMS, RECOMENDADO ASÍ EN EL MANUAL DEL EQUIPO, SON DE UNA SOLA VÍA Y BASS REFLEX; ES DECIR, UNA SOLA BOCINA POR BAFLE Y SU VENTILACIÓN POR EL FRENTE). A TODO ESTO, EL EQUIPO SUENA EXCELENTE, LA PERILLA DEL VOLUMEN TIENE UN RANGO BASTANTE AMPLIO; ESTE PARÁMETRO VA DESDE CERO EN SU NIVEL MÁS BAJO, HASTA 80 COMO VOLUMEN MÁXIMO, LO CUAL ME RESULTA MUY INTERESANTE Y CÓMODO PARA ESTABLECER TUS NIVELES SONOROS Y EVENTUALMENTE IDENTIFICAR Y EVITAR LA DISTORSIÓN. EL CONTROL DEL SONIDO ES 100% PERSONALIZABLE, YA QUE NO CUENTA CON ECUALIZACIONES PRE-ESTABLECIDAS Y ESO ES ALGO QUE ME GUSTA. ESTOS PARÁMETROS VAN DESDE -8 HASTA +8 PARA GRAVES Y AGUDOS, DE FORMA INDIVIDUAL. LA CONECTIVIDAD VÍA BLUETOOTH ES IMPECABLE, PERO ALGO A TOMAR EN CUENTA ES, SI SE QUIERE OBTENER UNA BUENA CALIDAD DE SONIDO, LOS ARCHIVOS DE AUDIO DEBEN SER TAMBIEN DE BUENA CALIDAD, Y ESTO APLICA PARA CUALQUIER FUENTE DE AUDIO QUE SE INTEGRE AL EQUIPO (CD, VINILOS, MP3, ETC). CUENTA CON UN CONTROL DE BALANCE PARA LOS ALTAVOCES, ALGO A LO QUE NO LE VEO MUCHO EL CASO HOY EN DÍA. INCORPORA UNA ENTRADA FRONTAL PARA AUDÍFONOS Y VIENE CON 2 ANTENAS, UNA PARA F.M. Y LA OTRA PARA A.M. Y RESPECTO A ESTO, PUEDO DECIR QUE LA RECEPCIÓN DE LAS EMISORAS ES DE LO MEJOR. DE IGUAL FORMA, INCORPORA UN SELECTOR PARA SUS 2 CANALES DE SALIDA, “A” (PARA 2 BOCINAS), “B” (PARA OTRAS 2 BOCINAS), Ó A+B (PARA TENER CONECTADAS 4 BOCINAS COMO MÁXIMO). OTRA DE LAS COSAS QUE ME GUSTÓ DE ESTE EQUIPO, ES QUE DEBIDO A SUS CONEXIONES ANÁLOGAS (RCA), PREVALECE COMPATIBLE CON OTROS COMPONENTES, COMO TORNAMESA, REPRODUCTORES DVD, DE CD Y DOS TOMAS MÁS QUE NO PUEDEN FALTAR A LA “FIESTA” … “LINE IN” Y “LINE OUT”, LO CUAL LO CONVIERTE EN UN EXCELENTE ADMINISTRADOR Y PROVEEDOR DE SEÑAL DE AUDIO PARA INCORPORAR OTRO AMPLIFICADOR, SIN DEJAR DE LADO LA SEÑAL PARA EL SUBWOOFER, LA ENTRADA ÓPTICA PARA LA T.V. Y LA COAXIAL PARA CD. EN TÉRMINOS PRÁCTICOS … UN RECEPTOR MUY SENCILLO PERO MUY COMPLETO A LA VEZ, SUMAMENTE SENCILLO DE OPERAR Y ADEMÁS ELEGANTE. DEBIDO A ESTO ÚLTIMO, EL CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN PARA ESTE APARATO, PUEDE SER MUY EXTENSO; PARA AMBIENTAR LA RECEPCIÓN O SALA DE ESPERA DE ALGUNA EMPRESA, UNA CAFETERÍA, UNA OFICINA, UNA TIENDA DE ALGUN CENTRO COMERCIAL, ETC. EN CASA ES IDEAL PARA LA SALA O RECÁMARA CON POTENCIA DE SOBRA Y NO ES NECESARIO LLEVAR EL VOLUMEN AL MÁXIMO, PUESTO QUE SU CALIDAD SE APRECIA DESDE ¼ PARTE HASTA SUS ¾ PARTES DEL VOLUMEN TOTAL. CREO QUE ESTA COMPRA ES UN BUEN COMIENZO PARA ADENTRARSE AL MUNDO DE LA ALTA FIDELIDAD EN AUDIO, TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE SI QUIERES DEJAR DE LADO EL RUIDO Y ESCUCHAR LO QUE ES CALIDAD, ES UN DELEITE ESCUCHAR SU SONIDO. EL DESTINO DE ESTE APARATO FUE LA RECÁMARA DE MIS HIJOS, EL USO QUE LE DAN ES PARA ESCUCHAR SU MÚSICA A TRAVÉS DEL BLUETOOTH Y COMO HOME THEATER PARA PELÍCULAS Y SUS VIDEOJUEGOS. LA PRÓXIMA COMPRA PARA COMPLEMENTAR ESTE RECEPTOR, SERÁ UN PAR DE BAFLES POLK AUDIO MODELO T-15 … Y SEGURAMENTE DESPUES ESCOGERÉ ALGUN ONKYO PARA MI. PERSONALMENTE QUISIERA EXPRESAR UNA COMPARACIÓN MUY PERSONAL … SI HABLARAMOS DE AUTOS, UN SONY “GENEZI” SERÍA UNA HUMMER Y EL ONKYO SERÍA UNA LAND ROVER. FINALMENTE COMO ANÉCDOTA, AL DÍA SIGUIENTE DE RECIBIR ESTE EQUIPO, MI SONY “GENEZI” PARECE HABER MUERTO DE CELOS … YA NO ENCENDIÓ. UNA VEZ MÁS EL PAQUETE LLEGÓ EN PERFECTO ESTADO, IMPECABLE, UN AGRADECIMIENTO A AMAZON Y SUS REPARTIDORES. SALUDOS Y SUERTE CON SUS COMPRAS.

Sempre gostei da Onkyo desde os vintages anos 70 e 80, hoje raríssimos e caros. Adquiri esse Receiver para usar com um par de Torres Yamaha NS F55, um casamento que se saiu muito bem, seja pelo som limpo e elegante do Receiver, seja pelo peso bem distribuído das caixas. Mesmo para filmes(lembrando que não é um 5.1) consegue entregar uma ótima experiência, no entanto, é para a audição de música que a coisa fica boa, sobretudo se você dispor de um bom CD player e de um toca discos bem servido de cápsula-agulha(esse detalhe é muito importante, pois o pré de phono dele é baixo). Outra vantagem são as conexões: além do Phono traz conexão óptica, fundamental para conectar a sua TV e organizar uma central de áudio e vídeo sem muita complicação. Só lembrem desse detalhe: NÃO É UM MULTI CANAL! É para quem aprecia som estéreo sem os filtros e desvios dos modelos concebidos para reprodução de áudio derivado de vídeo.

Muy buena calidad
