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

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.]

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.

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 got this as a long-term temporary replacement for an 80s-90s high end Pioneer receiver that I got from a friend for cheap. It started to go bad unexpectedly so I just wanted something that would get the job done and I can confidently say that it has. I have this connected to some Klipsch RF-82s as shown. Klipsch is known for power-efficient speakers, but they are still certainly big so I was curious to see how a little 45W receiver would do. It does just fine. It lacks a little bit of midrange punch but it delivers clear rich sound with decent power. A big reason I chose this receiver is because of the phono input. I have a growing record collection and although I have a separate pre-amp, I really wanted a receiver that could accept the turntable directly and for that it works well. TLDR: Great value for money. No obvious issues as of yet. It lacks some umph but still sounds very nice.

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 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!

Update: many are having the same problem I now see; you want to use your TV remote to turn on/off this receiver - does not work! (At least with a Samsung TV). You run through the setup, in my case a Sony Blue Ray player, a 2023 55” Samsung TV, and the Amazon fire stick. During the setup, adding connected devices to the TV, the amp does turn off, or on after you identify the Onkyo receiver as a connected home theater, but that’s it - only does it once, never again. I’ve done it many times, selecting different Onkyo receivers, it doesn’t work. You have two sort-of solutions; 1) use the 20 minute no-activity setting and the AMP will turn itself off - then use the Onkyo remote to turn the amp back on or 2) disable the Onkyo receiver auto-off feature and leave the amp on all the time - I chose this option as i don’t want to use two remotes. **** I’ll update again if i find a solution, but in researching this, many have this issue when using a Samsung TV and this Onkyo amp. My first review is below: I set up a 5.1 a few years ago. Never really liked it if you did not play a 5.1 source. I used a mic to calibrate the speakers and while, I suppose, it was OK - I was never hooked on it. Fast forward to today - new TV's have lot's of HDMI ports, USB, Wi-Fi, ... and great pictures. I though, well, let's utilize the HDMI ports - so I bought the Denon DRA-800H. It was a nice AMP and I connected the HDMI out on the AMP to the HDMI in on the TV. Then I realized I only had 2 other HDMI inputs to the AMP - one from the DVD and one from the firestick. This worked, but the 800H was overkill for me. I assessed my needs again, I stream HBO, Disney, Netflix, .... which goes through the TV. All I really need is a optical cable from the TV out to an AMP "in". And I don't want 5-6-7.1 or 2, and no need for Wi-Fi on the AMP - which the Denon had - but no direct streaming to the AMP - which was a bummer. There were a few 2.1 amps out there and I decided to try this one as I really wanted to use ONE remote to control the firestick, the TV and the AMP. The Samsung TV remote does all 3. I was worried about the 8220 driving KEF Q150 bookshelf speakers - as this is for a downstairs 'play room' - and it's doing just fine at 45 watts. I am happy with the amp. I stream music 50% of the time via Spotify, via the TV or Amazon Echo - "Alexa play ??? on Spotify" and off it goes. Or I turn on the TV, go to the Spotify app, and play from there. I also liked the Sub woofer output as I have the old 5.1 sub from the old system, and it works great with this amp. So, I'm happy with the 2.1 system, listening to music and watching TV / streaming video.

This review is on brand new item. So far pretty happy with this. I had a big roll of vintage pure copper 12-gauge speaker wire and some banana plugs and made the most solid speaker connections I've ever done. I have played some records and a few CD's on an Onkyo DX-C390 and it sounds very smooth. My Klipsch R-41M speakers are not made for much power and sound good with this rather underpowered receiver, which is just what I wanted. I also have an old subwoofer hooked up and it sounds good on the line inputs. That said, this receiver has nice bass and a subwoofer is not really needed in my opinion. Bluetooth connected to my phone, but that's all the Bluetooth I tried. Hoping I'll be reporting back that this receiver proves durable and works well for a long time. Editing to add that I have questions about the turntable preamp in this unit. When I am using my turntable, I have to crank up the volume on the receiver to over level 35 to get any decent sound. On the other hand, my CD deck only needs receiver on about volume 10 to put out good sound. Edit: I hadn't noticed at first, but I now have questions about the turntable section of this receiver. I notice when I'm playing an album, I have to crank the receiver volume up into the 30's to really hear the music. It is extreme volume, and I have to be careful to turn it back down before switching to CD. Maybe there's nothing wrong with the receiver, or maybe I need a turntable preamp, but I thought receivers that have dedicated phono inputs don't need preamplification.

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.

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.

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).

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.

As características divulgadas em reviews que li desse receiver e que mais chamaram-me a atenção para compra foram 3 e o que vou comentar é baseado apenas nessa linha tríplice de interesses pessoais - preço, entrada phono decente e qualidade stereo nível hi-fi nas saídas de linha. A primeira era real cabendo no meu bolso e a segunda e terceira existiam apenas como características funcionais anunciadas mas que eu teria de comprovar. O intrigante para mim era que pudesse haver qualidade hi-fi como eu a entendo nesse patamar de preço e baseado em minha experiência auditiva já sexagenária utilizando inúmeros receivers e integrados ao longo de décadas. A boa surpresa é que há e meus ouvidos agradeceram. Esse TX-8220 conduziu com propriedade e acurácia minhas caixas torres Yamaha NS-F51 e também as Monitor Audio RX-6 ambas com impedância de 6 ohms. É o coração atual de meu setup principal pelas várias funcionalidades conjugadas e ironicamente o módulo mais em conta de todos. Parabéns à Onkyo por isso. Esse simples receiver stereo convencional - o tipo de som que mais gosto - serve para uma gama ampla de sensibilidades, exigências e principalmente bolsos. Se esse não for um best buy outro com certeza não será.

Muy buena calidad
