The only thing I have found online for a Wii/Onkyo issue is if you are trying to send out the component IN through to the HDMI out on the avr to the TV, the picture cuts out, if you stay Component out then all is well.

Set the sub to the same level and see how you like it, seems most prefer it a little hotter than the rest of the system, 2-5 db seems to be the normal range. Thing to remember is it is your system, set it up the way YOU like it.

The guy at Axiom was right, the M22 would be the least amount of speaker needed for that size of room, IMO. My listening area is 12X16 open to the back another 12' and then over in an 'L' shape another 16' and my M22's worked quite well...
