Onkyo HTX-22HD

First Time Setup
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the HTX-22HD for the very
first time.
With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number
of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequen-
cies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey
2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob-
lems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-
balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also use Dynamic EQ,
which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 54).
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in which several people can enjoy your home theater simulta-
neously, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at three positions within the listening area.
A
First measurement point
This is the center point of the listening area, or the listening position.
B
Second measurement point
The right side of the listening area.
C
Third measurement point
The left side of the listening area.
The distances between points
1
and
2
and points
1
and
3
must be at least 1 meter.
From the examples below, choose the listening area that best matches yours and place the micro-
phone accordingly when prompted.
