XM-Ready Stereo Receiver

Onkyo's high quality stereo receiver does more than deliver high quality sound over two channels through its Wide Range Amplifier Design (WRAT). It gives you the option of connecting your iPod or even connecting an optional antenna and getting a subscription to XM Satellite Radio and listening to this popular format through your stereo sound system.

Quality Stereo Sound

Incorporating Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Design (WRAT) with an isolated power transformer and discrete output stage, the TX8522 is focused on maintaining the purity of music, radio and video sources. Also, with the option to take up XM Satellite Radio (requires optional antenna and paid subscription) or to connect your iPod to the system, the TX8522 gives you the versatility for a sweeping range of entertainment options.

High Current, Low Impedance Drive

It's easy to understand why high current might be good, but what does impedance have to do with anything? Basically it's the resistance caused by the speakers and speaker wire. Connecting too many speakers, too much cable or the wrong kind of speakers, can create low impedance (a lower ohm rating than the receiver was designed for). This is difficult for typical amplifiers to handle and can cause them to prematurely heat up and distort. Onkyo's high current design means there will be a good, steady flow of clean power from the amp to the speakers, regardless of these challenges. Better sound no matter how loud it's cranked-up and no matter what speaker types/designs are connected.

RI Compatible

On properly equipped Onkyo receivers, one can connect other Onkyo RI compatible products and use the receiver's remote to operate the functions of these additional components (DVD, CD, Cassette, MD, CD-RW). The benefit of RI Compatibility means an entire Onkyo system that easily operates from one, easy-to-use remote control. The products can also interact. For instance, pressing the play button on the DVD player will switch the receiver to the DVD input.

A+B Speaker Drive

Sometimes referred to as parallel A/B speaker capable, both the main (A) and the secondary (B) front speaker pairs can be played simultaneously. This allows you to enjoy top-notch stereo sound in a separate room or for the use of two pairs of front speakers.

Included With Purchase

Remote control.
