Product Description:
In the fast-paced world of home entertainment technology, change has become an understated word. Technologies now change so quickly that the new becomes yesterday's product before you barely become accustomed to it. Perhaps it's time to refocus on what's really important for quality audio: first-rate sound with high power output. Forget about over-hyped processing technologies. If your receiver lacks the fundamental amplifier design from the power supply through to the output stage, everything else is superfluous. The TX-8522 is built with this in mind. Incorporating Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology- WRAT with an isolated power transformer and discrete output stage, the TX-8522 is focused on maintaining the purity of music, radio and video sources while bringing meaningful features to your system. The receiver is the heart of your home entertainment system. The TX-8522 makes sure the sound output is tops.Phono input for adding a turntable IR input and output for second room and other component control Video and cassette tape dubbing capability Tape monitor 40 FM/AM random presets with station naming using direct access tuning with 10 key buttons / Radio Data System (RDS) for reception Pure Audio/Direct mode Motor-driven, precision volume control Headphone jack for adding an optional headphone Audio mute, sleep timer (via remote) 3-Mode display dimmer (dim/dark/normal) Battery-free memory backup Non-resonant feet Vibration-resistant top panel Reinforced chassis side panels New slip-free rotary volume knob Solid aluminum front panel Compatible with RI Dock for the iPod Banana plug-compatible speaker posts Full-function RI (Remote interactive) remote controlUnit Dimensions (W x H x D) - 17 1/8 x 5 7/8 x 12 11/16 / Weight - 19.8 lbs./9.0 kg
From the Manufacturer:
In the fast-paced world of home entertainment technology, change has become an understated word. Technologies now change so quickly that the new becomes yesterday’s product before you barely become accustomed to it. Perhaps it’s time to refocus on what’s really important for quality audio: first-rate sound with high power output. Forget about over-hyped processing technologies. If your receiver lacks the fundamental amplifier design from the power supply through to the output stage, everything else is superfluous. The TX-8522 is built with this in mind. Incorporating Onkyo’s proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Design (WRAT) with an isolated power transformer and discrete output stage, the TX-8522 is focused on maintaining the purity of music, radio and video sources. Also, with the option to take up XM® Satellite Radio or to connect your iPod® to the system, the TX-8522 gives you the versatility for a sweeping range of entertainment options.
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.
XM Ready: The XM 'Connect-and-Play,' is a revolutionary technology platform designed to integrate XM into virtually any home or portable consumer electronics entertainment device. By matching XM Ready® audio systems with a simple, elegant antenna/receiver, getting XM becomes even easier for home audio listeners.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Value For the Money
Onkyo receiver has plenty of power to drive my Advent floor standing speaker.I play a lot of LP Disk on a Daul Turntable and the premap on the Onkyo add no coloration or noise.For the average person who does not have golden ears this receiver has plenty of power with no noise or coloration added to the sound processed through it.Money well spent.I recomend this receiver.
Rating:  - I sent it back
I wanted to replace a 35 year old Marantz 1060 amplifier that had started blowing fuses. I got this thing and set it up and played a record and itsounded like Clapton was singing down inside a big can with a clothespin clamped to his nose. I was stunned. I could get Eric to sing really loud, but he couldn't take off the clothespin or get too far up out of the can. I found a local guy who diagnosed and fixed my Marantz for less than $80. I gave it one star because you can plug it in and turn it ... Read More
Rating: - Broke after 2 months, service terrible
After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to getting my new receiver (old one, Sony, broke down after 20 years of use, I can't complain!). New receiver broke down after less than 6 weeks! The service center was rude and unhelpful (hung up without telling me where to send it). Now I have to pay for shipping, will be without the receiver for at least a month since the service center in Colorado has a 14 day turnaround just on diagnostics, then 2 weeks to fix, then time to ship back. I am not ... Read More
Rating: - Everything you'd expect except a loudness contour
Budget audiophiles rejoice.This receiver puts out plenty o clean swat.Itis enough to fill my small listening space with plenty of warm vinyl sounds.While it is no way my deceased marantz 2270 it is a heck of a deal.Not too many receivers offer this amp and a phono input at this budget.I have this attached to two koss cm 1030 towers from 1981, an audio source dual 10 band eq, and a fisher 6330 turntable with a shure mx97e cart installed.It is hands down better than my previous kenwood ...

Rating: - Incredible Value
My friend has been running this puppy for about 6 months now.It just doesn't quit.Throw it rock, opera, jazz, youtube; whatever, just great amplification.The built-in diagnostics prevent you from ruining your speakers.I follow the rule of spend no more than $1,000 for an amp; this puppy is resetting my understanding.
