It is best to think of it in simple terms: a power supply, an input stage, a driver stage, and an output stage that all combine to amplify signals without any loss in quality. The current that actually drives the loudspeakers comes from a power source via the receiver’s power supply. You can never underestimate the importance of the power supply, and all other audio processing functions cannot rule over good solid amplification. This is the direction Onkyo has taken with the TX-8222. Built for those people who value the benefits of time-proven amplification design, the TX-8222 takes core Onkyo technology—and an array of features you’ll actually use—to bring you a no-nonsense stereo receiver that will deliver audio and radio signals with agreeable quality. Key technology Features: RI (Remote Interactive): With Onkyo’s exclusive RI (Remote Interactive) system capability, you can integrate and operate all compatible components through a single remote control. What’s more, RI capability enables you to simply connect the iPod® to your receiver through Onkyo’s RI Dock for the iPod (DS-A1). Your iPod effectively becomes another Onkyo component from which you can relish a fuller sound that just can’t be experienced through headphones. RI capability will also give you remote operability of your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music. WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. That's the benefit of Wide Range Amplifier Technology. Originally developed for our most expensive high-end amplifiers to handle the sonic demands of today's digital age, you'll now find WRAT even in our lowest-priced A/V receivers. The WRAT family of technologies includes a broader frequency range with lower noise entering the signal path – perfectly suited for new high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats.

One is used in the large group room for the children's program at church where it is connected to two in-ceiling speakers. It works well for what it is used for. The one I bought for home sounds good except that it just doesn't have the bass level that I would like. Perhaps my speakers are to blame. The receiver is hooked up to a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers and a pair of two-way Sansui speakers from my college days. I don't have an qualizer so I really can't make very many adjustments to the sound. It can produce plenty of volume. I'd like to buy some better speakers to see if that will improve the bass at all. Customer Review 2 : It sounds pretty good within its limits... - Tyson Scrabeck - Rochester, MN USA When my 20-year-old receiver finally succumbed to a glorious smoking, burned-electrical-smelling death, it was time to find an economical replacement--in this case a refurb Onkyo TX-8222. When it arrived, I was pleased to discover that it was simply a return due to "cosmetic damage" (I never saw so much as a scratch on it). Since I no longer listen to much music over the stereo system, it was to be used primary when I play movies and video games, often over my headphones. It has all the basics. And that's about it. Over my headphones, the sound quality is pretty decent with a little modification with the bass and treble. But over my speakers, there simply isn't enough range to make very good sound. The two dial bass/treble combo just doesn't cut it. Now granted, my speakers are not top-of-the-line, but my 20-year-old receiver could do a lot better with those same speakers. The quality of the receiver itself seems very good--I haven't had any trouble with it, and the controls are fairly intuitive. But I can't help thinking that this is one of those cases where less is not necessarily better. My overall feeling on the receiver--its OK. Just OK.
