Precautions  
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use  
For Canadian Models  
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal  
without the permission of the copyright holder.  
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:  
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,  
FULLY INSERT.  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all  
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft  
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild  
detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately  
afterwards with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive  
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents,  
because they may damage the finish or remove the  
panel lettering.

4. Power  
For British models  
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power  
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by  
qualified service personnel.  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING  
SECTION CAREFULLY.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.  
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel  
(e.g., AC 230, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
with the following code:  
Blue: Neutral  
Brown: Live  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug  
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,  
proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or  
coloured red.  
Some models have a voltage selector for  
compatibility with power systems around the world.  
Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the  
voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your  
area.  
Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If  
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.  
IMPORTANT  
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse  
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved  
by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere  
rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA  
mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.  
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable  
fuse in the plug.  
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never  
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo  
dealer.  
6. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you  
originally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.  
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm  
after prolonged use. This is normal.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.

ConnectingYour Speakers  
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
Connecting the Speaker Cables  
The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers.  
When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select  
which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to  
output sound simultaneously.  
When you connect one set of speakers to either  
SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or  
when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker  
terminal posts and output sound only from either  
speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is between  
4 and 16 ohms. For the North American model  
TX-8522, when the speaker impedance is 4 or 6 ohms,  
set the speaker impedance setting on the receiver to 6  
ohms (see next page for details).  
Strip about 15 mm (5/8  
inch) of insulation from  
the ends of the speaker  
cables, and twist the bare  
wires tightly, as shown.  
15 mm  
(5/8")  
1
Unscrew the terminal.  
2
3
Fully insert the bare  
wires.  
When you connect speakers to both SPEAKER A and  
SPEAKER B terminal posts and output sound from  
both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers whose  
impedance is between 8 and 16 ohms.  
Screw the terminal tight.  
4
Note:  
If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the  
impedance values, the built-in protection circuit may be  
activated resulting in no sound output from speakers.  
Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other  
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive  
(+) terminals, and negative () terminals only to  
negative () terminals. If you get them the wrong way  
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound  
unnatural.  
Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may  
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.  
Be careful not to short the

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna  
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect  
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.  
The receiver wont pick up any radio signals without any  
antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to  
use the tuner.  
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use  
only.  
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting  
the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop  
antenna to the AM push terminals, as  
shown.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna  
(The antennas wires are not polarity sensitive, so  
they can be connected either way around.)  
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and  
that the push terminals are gripping the bare  
wires, not the insulation.  
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.  
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Once your receiver is ready for use, youll need to  
tune into an FM radio station and adjust the  
position of the FM antenna to achieve the best

Notes:  
Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in  
an attic or loft.  
For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
Outdoor antenna should be located away from  
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,  
etc.  
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside  
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained  
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note  
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock

I Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
Its best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If  
circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter,  
as shown.

Before Making any Connections  
Connecting a Turntable  
Always refer to the instructions that came with the  
component that you are connecting.  
Do not plug in the power cord until all connections  
have been properly made.  
Do not bind audio cables with power cords and  
speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the  
sound quality.  
The receivers PHONO input jacks are for use with  
moving-magnet (MM) type cartridges.  
Use an analog audio cable to connect the receivers  
PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the  
turntable, as shown.  
To prevent interference, keep power cords and  
speaker cables away from the tuners antenna.  
AV Connection Color Coding  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-  
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled R).  
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and  
outputs (typically labeled L). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs. (TX-8522)

Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote  
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)  
In order to use the remote controller to control the  
receiver from a remote location, you will need to  
prepare a multiroom kit (sold separately) such as one  
listed below:  
Onkyos Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote  
Controller Extension System)  
Making Sensor Connections  
When you place the IR receiver in the main room, connect  
the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN terminal.  
Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any  
equipment into the power outlet until all the connections  
are complete.

If Remote Controller Signal Does not  
Reach the Receiver Remote Sensor  
Effective Sensor Layout  
Example for the main room  
If the receiver is located inside a cabinet or other  
enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote  
controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote  
controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be  
necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside  
of the cabinet so that the infrared rays from the controller  
can be sensed.  
If Remote Controller Signal Does not  
Reach Other Components  
Effective Sensor Layout  
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially  
available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR  
emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the receiver and then  
place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the  
component or facing it. When the IR emitter is  
connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is  
output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the  
remote sensor on the front of the receiver will not be  
output to the IR OUT terminal.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the receiver, look for a  
solution in this section.  
Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo-  
nents are connected properly.  
Make sure that the correct input source is selected  
(page 21).  
If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,  
press the remote controllers [MUTING] button to  
unmute the receiver (page 22).  
If your turntable doesnt have a phono preamp built-  
in, you must connect one between it and the receiver.  
If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must con-  
nect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and a  
phono preamp.  
If you cant resolve the issue yourself, try resetting  
the receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.  
[TX-8522]  
To reset the receiver to its factory defaults, turn it  
on and, while holding down the [VIDEO] button,  
press the [STANDBY/ON] button.

Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the wall  
outlet properly.  
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 5  
seconds or more, then plug it in again.  
Relocate your antenna.  
Move the receiver away from your TV or computer.  
Listen to the station in mono (page 27).  
When listening to anAM station, operating the remote  
controller may cause noise.  
Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.  
Concrete walls weaken radio signals.  
If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor  
antenna.  
The STANDBY indicator is ashing  
The amp protection circuit has been activated.  
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi-  
ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources,  
and leave the receiver with its power cord discon-  
nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord  
and press the [STANDBY/ON] button again. If you  
can not resolve the problem, contact your Onkyo  
dealer.  
Audio  
Theres no sound or its very quiet  
Make sure the speaker set A or B is on (page 21).  
Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (pages 12 - 19).  
Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is  
correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with metal  
part of each speaker terminal (page 12).  
Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.

Install new batteries. Dont mix different types of bat-  
teries or old and new batteries (page 5).  
Make sure that the remote controller is not too far  
away from the receiver, and that theres no obstruction  
between the remote controller and the receivers  
remote control sensor (page 10).  
The  
To use  
functions dont work  
, you must make an  
connection and an  
analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-  
nent and receiver, even if they are connected digitally  
(page 19).  
Make sure that the receiver is not subjected to direct  
sunshine or inverter-type orescent lights. Relocate if  
necessary (page 10).  
The receiver contains a microcomputer for signal  
processing and control functions. In very rare  
situations, severe interference, noise from an external  
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup.In the  
unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord  
from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then  
plug it back in again.  
Cant control other components  
If youve connected an  
-capable Onkyo DS-A1  
Remote Interactive Dock to the TAPE 1 or VIDEO  
jacks on the TX-8522 (or TAPE 1 or LINE 2 jacks on  
the TX-8222), for the remote controller to work prop-  
erly, you must set the input display to HDD (see  
page 20).  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded  
correctly.  
If its an Onkyo component, make sure that the  
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.  
Connecting only an  
cable wont work (page 19).  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall  
outlet, set the receiver to Standby.  
With some components, certain buttons may not work  
as expected, and some may not work at all.  
To control an Onkyo component thats connected via  
, point the remote controller at the receiver.  
Memory Backup  
The receiver uses a battery-less memory backup  
system in order to retain radio presets and other  
settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power  
failure. Although no batteries are required, the receiver  
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the  
backup system. Once it has been charged, the receiver  
will retain the settings for several weeks, although this  
depends on the environment and will be shorter in  
humid climates.  
Recording  
Cant record  
On your recorder, make sure the correct input is  
selected.  
To prevent signal loops and damage to the receiver,  
input signals are not fed through to outputs with the  
same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO  
IN to VIDEO OUT).  
When the PureAudio function is selected, recording is  
not possible because no video signals are output. Dis-  
able the function before recording.
