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.
