| Versatile and multifeatured, Harman Kardon's AVR146 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver incorporates a wide range of listening options to match your every need. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS Neo 6 decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of analog surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts, and the AVR146's own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic II decoding technology, the AVR146 offers Harman International's exclusive Logic 7 process to create a wider, more enveloping sound environment with more defined fly-overs and pans, where the surround sound transitions from the speakers on one side to the speakers on the other side. Another exclusive is VMAx, which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available. |

Rev Your Audio Engines! |
|
| Watts-per-channel is not the only measure of amplifier power; in terms of dynamic range and impact, current counts too. As an overall development approach, High-Current Capability encompasses everything from transformer design and capacitor size to discrete output circuitry, with minimal use of negative feedback. The AVR146's high current (+/-25 amp) amplifier is the electronic equivalent of a high-revving, high-horsepower racing engine that gives real benefits you can hear--tighter bass, superb transient response, and enhanced presence at any volume level. Put power behind your sound; choose Harman Kardon. |

Only Two Speakers--No Problem |
|
| Even though current marketing focuses increasingly on multichannel surround sound, there are still many situations where it's only possible to have two speakers in a room, sacrificing the benefits of 360-degree sonic presentation. Harman Kardon has solved that problem with its exclusive VMAx technology in both multichannel receivers and stereo receivers. Today's music and soundtracks are all recorded by multichannel and multimicrophone methods. Digital processing can create the illusion of multichannel sound from only two speakers. Using a series of complex calculations based on intensive research into the way we hear and process sounds, VMAx creates a three-dimensional sound field using only conventional left and right front speakers. With VMAx, you get sound that fills your room and puts you in the first row, center. |

Making The Most Of Analog Matrix Soundtracks |
|
| When Harman Kardon engineers set out to enhance the playback of multichannel sound, they made significant improvements by building on recent advancements in digital technology. Logic 7 takes those advancements to the next level. Originally developed for high-end processors and currently featured in luxury automobiles, Logic 7 processing is now part of every Harman Kardon receiver. Proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of currently available analog matrix soundtracks. Not only is Logic 7 capable of resolving either five or seven channels from a two-channel source; but it also increases the accuracy with which sounds are directed to the center and surround channels, for more precise reproduction of the original soundtrack. |

This Bridge Gets You From The Past, Into The Future! |
|
| More than just a docking station for iPod, The Bridge from Harman Kardon spans the gap between generations of musical devotees. You may be all about vinyl, your kids may be all about MP3s. By using The Bridge, you can meet in the middle. Apple and Harman Kardon -- two names synonymous with music playback, ease of control, and elegant design. Now, The Bridge docking station links the two, allowing you to share the favorite tracks and playlists stored on your iPod player with anyone in listening range of your Harman Kardon AVR -- even in a connected second room. In addition to audio, you can enjoy still-image and video playback from iPod photo and video models. Dock your iPod player, then sit back and operate it with the AVR's remote control while on-screen and front-panel menus guide your track selections. The Bridge docking station also charges the iPod player while you use it. |

Future-Proof Your World |
|
| For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR146 sports two Simplay HD-Verified HDMI inputs and one dedicated TV-bound HDMI output. It also features two component video and four S-Video inputs for connecting video devices. There are three additional audio inputs; and with a total of seven video inputs, the AVR146 is capable of handling all the latest A/V sources. Coax inputs/outputs are also available for direct connection to digital recorders. This bounty of connections, plus direct audio inputs, makes the AVR146 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow's new formats right on board. But because proven technologies are sometimes the best technologies, the AVR146's powerful amplifier uses the traditional Harman Kardon high-current (+/-25 amps), ultrawide bandwidth design. |
