Product Description
The Onkyo TX-8220 is a 2-channel stereo receiver that combines high-current analog amplification with modern Bluetooth connectivity. If you are looking for a versatile home receiver that sounds significantly better than its price suggests, this is your ideal receiver.
High-Current Amplification with WRAT Technology
45W per Channel Continuous (8Ω)
The TX-8220 delivers 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20–20,000 Hz, 0.08% THD), and 100W per channel at 1kHz into 6Ω. Dynamic IHF power reaches 140W into 3Ω, 120W into 4Ω, and 80W into 8Ω. It is compatible with 4, 6, and 8-ohm speakers.
WRAT and Non-Phase-Shift Design
WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) extends the frequency response up to 100kHz, preserving the phase and transients of the musical signal. The Non-Phase-Shift design eliminates phase distortion for a more precise stereo image.
Integrated PCM1754 DAC — 192kHz/24-bit
The PCM1754 digital-to-analog converter processes digital signals from the optical and coaxial inputs with high fidelity. The Direct/Pure mode routes the signal directly to the amplifier for maximum sonic transparency.
Bluetooth 4.1 with A2DP and AVRCP
Wireless Streaming from Any Device
Bluetooth version 4.1 with A2DP and AVRCP profiles allows for streaming music wirelessly from smartphones, tablets, and computers. Once paired, it starts playback automatically whenever it detects an incoming Bluetooth audio signal.
Full Connectivity: Analog and Digital
Integrated MM Phono Equalizer
The phono input with MM (Moving Magnet) equalizer allows for the direct connection of a turntable with an MM cartridge, without the need for an external phono preamp. Phono overload at 1kHz is 40mV.
4 Analog Line Inputs + Optical + Coaxial
The connectivity section includes 4 RCA analog line inputs, an optical digital input (TOSLINK), and a coaxial digital input, covering most home audio sources.
Subwoofer Output and Headphone Jack
The subwoofer pre-out allows you to add an active subwoofer to the system. The 3.5mm front headphone jack offers private listening.
Connection for Two Pairs of Speakers (Speaker A+B)
Two Independent Speaker Zones
The TX-8220 features dual speaker terminals (Speaker A+B), allowing you to connect two pairs of speakers and select which pair to play at any given time, or both simultaneously.
FM/AM Tuner with 40 Preset Memories
FM (87.5–107.9 MHz) and AM (530–1,710 kHz) Reception
The analog FM/AM tuner with 40 station presets allows you to save your favorite stations for direct access. Tuning can be automatic or manual, with the option to assign custom names to each preset.
Sleep Timer and RI Remote Control
The sleep timer allows you to program the automatic shutdown of the receiver after a set time. The RI (Remote Interactive) compatible remote control makes operation from the couch easy.
Firmware Updates via USB
Long-Term Maintenance and Improvements
The TX-8220 supports firmware updates via USB, allowing Onkyo to release performance improvements and fixes without the need for technical service.
