Troubleshooting
—Continued
The remote controller doesn’t work
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 5).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries or old and new batteries (page 5).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the receiver, and that there’s no obstruction 
between the remote controller and the receiver’s 
remote control sensor (page 10).
• Make sure that the receiver is not subjected to direct
sunshine or inverter-type florescent lights. Relocate if 
necessary (page 10).
Can’t control other components
• If you’ve connected an
-capable Onkyo DS-A1
Remote Interactive Dock to the TAPE 1 or VIDEO 
jacks on the TX-8522 (or TAPE 1 or LINE 2 jacks on 
the TX-8222), for the remote controller to work prop-
erly, you must set the input display to HDD (see 
page 20).
• If it’s an Onkyo component, make sure that the
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly. 
Connecting only an 
cable won’t work (page 19).
• With some components, certain buttons may not work
as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via
, point the remote controller at the receiver.
Can’t record
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the receiver,
input signals are not fed through to outputs with the 
same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO 
IN to VIDEO OUT).
• When the Pure Audio function is selected, recording is
not possible because no video signals are output. Dis-
able the function before recording.
The display doesn’t work
• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio
(TX-8522) function is selected.
The
functions don’t work
• To use
, you must make an
connection and an
analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo-
nent and receiver, even if they are connected digitally 
(page 19).
Remote Controller
Recording
Others
The receiver contains a microcomputer for signal 
processing and control functions. In very rare 
situations, severe interference, noise from an external 
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the 
unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord 
from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then 
plug it back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD 
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by 
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important 
data, make sure that the material will be recorded 
correctly.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall 
outlet, set the receiver to Standby.
Memory Backup
The receiver uses a battery-less memory backup 
system in order to retain radio presets and other 
settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power 
failure. Although no batteries are required, the receiver 
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the 
backup system. Once it has been charged, the receiver 
will retain the settings for several weeks, although this 
depends on the environment and will be shorter in 
humid climates.
