current Harman Kardon technologies Switchable front-panel jacks This one will go to the top of your "Why didn't I think of that?" list. Front-panel input jacks are a common sight on many audio/video products, but that doesn't help when you want to send a source out of the receiver, for dubbing to a portable device. Rather than force you to fish around the back of your system, Harman Kardon makes things easy by making it possible to switch the video, analog audio and digital audio jacks on the front panel of select AVRs from an input to an output. With one quick change of a menu setting, any digital or analog source playing through the AVR is routed to the front panel so that you can make your dub for the day and be on your way. What could be simpler? Your own personal audio technician: EzSet™ quick surround setup The individual channel levels of a state-of-the-art movie theater surround system have been carefully calibrated by trained technicians. EzSet™ speaker calibration does the same for your Harman Kardon home cinema system. EzSet uses a built-in sound pressure measurement and calibration system that lets you automatically balance speaker channel levels for optimum surround sound enjoyment - regardless of the speaker type or room conditions. Push a few buttons and in less than three minutes, your Harman Kardon system is calibrated. Bottom line, the adjustment most critical to multichannel movie soundtrack reproduction has been made virtually foolproof! 4x CD-R dubbing In an age when we always seem to be short on time, who wants to wait any longer than necessary when building a music library or creating "party discs"? Harman Kardon agrees, and that's why we were the first to introduce a dual-deck CD recorder with 4x dubbing when others said it couldn't be done. Thanks to Harman Kardon engineering, you can make a copy of an hourlong program in fifteen minutes, while also speeding up other key recorder functions. We know that you're in a hurry to hear the music and don't want to waste time recording it! Color-coded connections At Harman Kardon, we believe that connecting a new audio/video receiver should be quick and simple so that you can get right to the movies and music. That's why we were the first brand to offer a complete set of color-coded input, output and speaker connection jacks and terminals on the back of every product we sell. With modern receivers featuring up to eight channels of audio, four video signal channels, digital audio and multiroom systems, it can be difficult to remember which plug goes where. However, with Harman Kardon's easy-to-see color-coding, you'll never again have a problem telling the Surround Back Left speaker output from the Component Video Pb input.
