ONKYO HTX-22HDXST Guia Do Utilizador

5

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood 

and is therefore sensitive to extreme tem-
peratures and humidity. Do not put it in 
locations subject to direct sunlight or in 
humid places, such as near an air condi-
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.

• Do not put water or other liquids close to the 

speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speak-
ers, the drive units may be damaged.

• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, 

flat surfaces that are free from vibration. 
Putting them on uneven or unstable sur-
faces, where they may fall and cause dam-
age, will affect the sound quality.

• The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer is 

designed to be used in the upright vertical 
position only. Do not use it in the horizontal 
or tilted position.

• If the subwoofer is used near a turntable, 

CD/Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder, howling 
or skipping may occur. To prevent this, 
position the subwoofer away from such 
components, or turn down the volume.

• The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer 

generates heat and has vents at the top and 
rear to allow this heat to escape. When 
installing, leave at least 20 cm (8") of free 
space above and behind. Also, leave at least 
20 cm (8") of free space at the sides, other-
wise, the performance of the bass-reflex 
port may be compromised.
The HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Subwoofer 
uses a non-shielded design. If you’re using 
a CRT-type TV, to prevent picture interfer-
ence, position it at least 40 cm (15-3/4") 
away from your TV.

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically 
sensitive devices and as such are likely to suf-
fer discoloration or picture distortion when 
conventional speakers are placed nearby. To 
prevent this, the HTX-22HDXST speakers 
feature internal magnetic shielding. In some 
situations, however, discoloration may still be 
an issue, in which case you should turn off 
your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, 
and then turn it back on again. This normally 
activates the degaussing function, which neu-
tralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing 
any discoloration effects. If discoloration 
problems persist, try moving the speakers 
away from your TV or monitor. Note that dis-
coloration can also be caused by a magnet or 
demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your 
TV or monitor.

The speakers can handle the specified input 
power when used for normal music reproduc-
tion. If any of the following signals are fed to 
them, even if the input power is within the 
specified rating, excessive current may flow 
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire 
breakage:
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM 

radio.

2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette 

tape.

3. High-pitched sounds generated by an 

oscillator, electronic musical instrument, 
and so on.

4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs 

and so on.

6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting 

or disconnecting audio cables. (Always 
turn off the HTX-22HDXPAW Amp/Sub-
woofer before connecting or disconnect-
ing cables.)

7. Microphone feedback.
