The science of passion: current Harman Kardon technologies. We deliver the right combination of power, performance, flexibility and ease of use. Harman Kardon has always sought to strike a balance between the development of key enhancements to the underpinnings of audio and video technology, and the importance of making them accessible to both the advanced audiophile and the home theater novice. More muscle for maximum punch: HighCurrent Capability Watts per channel is an incomplete measure of amplifier power. In terms of dynamic range and impact, it's current that counts. HCC is an overall design approach encompassing everything from transformer design and capacitor size to discrete output circuitry and minimal use of negative feedback. This electronic equivalent of a high-torque, high-displacement racing engine results in audible benefits. You enjoy tighter bass, superb transient response and enhanced presence at any volume level. A better approach to sound: Logic 7® Originally developed for high-end processors and now featured in luxury automobiles, our exclusive Logic 7® processing is now part of every multichannel receiver we offer. With Logic 7, proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of analog matrix soundtracks currently available. Logic 7 is not only capable of resolving either five or seven channels from a two-channel source; it increases the accuracy with which sounds are directed to the center and surround channels, for more precise reproduction of the original soundtrack. When only two will do: VMAx® Despite the marketplace focus on multichannel surround sound, there are still many situations where it is only possible to include two speakers in a room's environment - thus sacrificing the benefits of a 360° sonic presentation. Harman Kardon has solved that problem with its exclusive implementation of VMAx® technology in both multichannel and stereo receivers. VMAx creates a three-dimensional sound field using only conventional left and right front speakers. The result is sound that fills a room and puts you at front row, center. Switchable front-panel jacks Front-panel input jacks are common 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. Harman Kardon makes things easy by allowing you to switch the video, analog audio and digital audio jacks on the front panel of select DPRs and AVRs from an input to an output. With one quick change of a menu setting, any digital or analog source playing through the DPR or AVR is routed to the front panel so that you can make your dub for the day and be on your way. The multiroom solution Every A-BUS Ready® Harman Kardon receiver includes a multiroom switching system, assignable rear amplifier channels and a Zone II standard remote. A simple cable connection to an AB 1 module is all that's needed to send audio and power commands to any room of your house. The easily installed AB 1 module powers your remote in-wall speakers without further amplification or AC connections, and it does more than adjust volume. It includes a built-in remote sensor to control your entire system. Your own personal audio technician: EzSet quick surround setup EzSet speaker calibration lets you automatically balance individual 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 home cinema system is calibrated. Bottom line - the adjustment most critical to multichannel movie soundtrack reproduction has been made virtually foolproof. Software upgradeability & digital connectivity With a two-way communications port and rewritable flash memory, select Harman Kardon DPR and AVR receivers can be easily updated with new features and functionality for years to come. The RS-232 port not only enables software upgrades; it gives you full control of your system with optional third-party keypad systems, controllers and personal computers. Even Harman Kardon DVD players are upgradeable with special CD-ROM discs. 8 9
