3 INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon

AVR 220 you are about to begin many years of

listening enjoyment. The AVR 220 has been

custom-designed to provide all the excitement

and detail of movie soundtracks and every

nuance of musical selections. With onboard

Dolby* Digital and DTS

decoding, the AVR 220

delivers six discrete channels of audio that take

advantage of the digital soundtracks from the

latest DVD and LD releases and Digital

Television broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard

at work within the AVR 220 to make all of this

happen, hookup and operation are simple.

Color-keyed connections, a programmable

remote control, and on-screen menus make the

AVR 220 easy to use. To obtain the maximum

enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you

to take a few minutes to read through this

manual. This will ensure that connections to

speakers, source playback units and other

external devices are made properly. In addition,

a few minutes spent learning the functions of

the various controls will enable you to take

advantage of all the power the AVR 220 is

able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product,

its installation or its operation, please contact

your retailer or custom installer. They are your

best local sources of information.

Description and Features

The AVR 220 is among the most versatile and

multifeatured A/V receivers available, incorpo-

rating a wide range of listening options. In

addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for

digital sources, a broad choice of analog sur-

round modes are available for use with sources

such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the

AVR 220’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with the

latest Dolby Pro Logic

II decoding technology,

Dolby 3 Stereo and custom Hall and Theater

modes, only Harman Kardon receivers offer

Logic 7

to create a wider, more enveloping

field environment and more defined fly-overs

and pans. Another Harman Kardon exclusive is

VMAx

, which uses proprietary processing to

create an open, spacious sound field even

when only two front speakers are available.

Finally, the AVR 220 is among the very few A/V

receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so

that you may listen to the latest music selec-

tions directly from compatible computers or

playback devices with the power and fidelity

you expect from Harman Kardon.

In addition to providing a wide range of listen-

ing options, the AVR 220 is easy to configure so

that it provides the best results with your

speakers and specific listening-room environ-

ment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter

settings for speakers, inputs and delay times,

while our exclusive EzSet

™

remote measures a

system‘s sound levels and automatically cali-

brates them for perfectly balanced soundfield

presentation.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 220 fea-

tures connections for five video devices, all with

both composite and S-Video inputs, including

the front panel inputs. Two additional audio

inputs are available, and a total of six digital

inputs make the AVR 220 capable of handling

all the latest digital audio sources. Coax and

optical digital outputs are also available for

direct connection to digital recorders. Two video

recording outputs and a six-channel input make

the AVR 220 virtually future-proof, with every-

thing needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new

formats right on board.The AVR 220’s powerful

amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon high-

current design technologies to meet the wide

dynamic range of any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity

receiver more than forty-seven years ago. With

state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored cir-

cuit designs, the AVR 220 is one of the finest

receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.
