Universal connectivity meets pure analog amplification in a simple hub that sounds a whole lot better than its modest price suggests. All the essentials are covered with digital audio inputs for TV and BD/DVD player connection, along with four analog line-level inputs for CD player and everything else. But the TX-8220 also takes value up a notch with mm phono input for turntable and built-in Bluetooth technology.

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 was truly excited about this little receiver. It's just what I needed -- a bare-bones basic two-channel receiver for watching TV/movies/streaming video. Minimal connectivity, which is just what I needed. I got it home, took it out of the box, got it hooked up. I figured the easiest thing to do without having to connect a component to it was to just listen to FM. I turned the unit on, and there was a fairly loud humming coming from inside the chassis. Something was definitely going on with the power supply. There should be no hum. I kept the unit on for about another ten minutes to see if the hum would dissipate -- it did not. I immediately packed the unit up and sent it back. Refund came quickly. May try to buy again and see how it goes. Will follow up...FOLLOW-UP: Decided to not purchase another Onkyo TX-8220. I instead opted for the Sony STR-DH590. It has all the features of the Onkyo, as well as additional features the Onkyo does not have. One minor difference is that the Onkyo has a phono input where the Sony does not...and that's ok...I'm not using the Sony for that purpose. But the best news is that I was fortunate to find the Sony STR-DH590 on sale at Best Buy for the same price as the Onkyo here. No problems or issues with the Sony...very happy with the purchase.FOLLOW-UP NO. 2 (15 May 2023): Decided to try again. Purchased the TX-8220. This time, no issues with hum from the power supply. Cannot say enough positive things about this receiver. It has the connectivity I need. No HDMI, but this is not a "home theater" receiver. The DAC has one digital optical and one digital coax input...which is all I need (I have my TV connected via digital optical and my streamer via digital coax). No USB input, but has Bluetooth. Sound quality is excellent, and the rated power (45WPC into 8 Ohms) is plenty to drive my Klipsch RB-81 MkII speakers...among others. Based on my actual experience with this receiver, it's a highly recommended solution for a starter system or for someone who just needs a basic two channel receiver without a lot of bells and whistles.

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.

Depois de muita pesquisa, acabei optando pelo TX-8220 da Onkyo. Este é para quem quer som stereo, com pré de phono (aqui apenas para cápsulas MM - para MC é necessário um "phono stage" especÃfico e ligar em uma entrada auxiliar. O que mais gostei ? A função DIRECT que bypassa o pré de saÃda e vc ouve só o power, o som direto da fonte, sem alteração de timbre, como em uma potência profissional. O aparelho aceita 4 caixas mais um subwoofer (ativo), recebe bluetooth e cabo ótico (pra ligar o som de sua TV). Compra boa, marca boa, aparelho extremamente bem construÃdo que lhe entrega um som de excelente qualidade, HI-FI de verdade. E chegou 20 dias antes do prazo anunciado.

I was searching for a new stereo amp/receiver since my 42 year old Sansui died. After reading some reviews and studying the specs, I decided on this one. Don't be fooled by the 45 watts per channel, the 0.08% THD makes this clear as a bell even through my 42 year old Audio Reflex speakers (10 inch woofer, 4.5 inch tweeter, solid wood cabinets). Multiple inputs, including a dedicated turntable jack and Bluetooth, makes connecting anything easy. If you want extra bass, there is a subwoofer output and you can feed in your TV via optical. Easy set up, clean looks, nice clear sound, and solid construction. This is a winner!!

Compré el Onkyo TX8220 en Diciembre 2023 basado en los reviews y comparaciones contra otros productos similares, me decidà por la potencia nominal, la salida para Sub-woofer, capacidad para dos sets de bafles (a+b) aunque con impedancia un poco alta, esto para sustituir un Harman Kardon 100+100W 3490 que dejó de funcionar, querÃa solo algo básico aunque no tuviese la calidad de sonido y poder que el HK pero no gastar tanto dinero y creo que cumplió el objetivo. Produce buena salida, nada para sorprender, pero lo suficientemente bien para llenar una sala con buena calidad y levantar unas PSB T20, un Sub Alpha S8, de set B tengo unas bocinas Infinity Primus 162. La entrega un poco confusa de trackear pero llegó dentro de la fecha estimada y bien empacado

Product ordered and just about before I could pay it was delivered. Super fast shipping, service and product. The Onkyo 8220 does just as advertised and better. Sounds great, works great and the remote is fantastic. If you're looking for a great 2 channel receiver with Bluetooth and Phono stage look no further. Thanks Gibbys. 😊
