INTRODUCTION
Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon
®
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 430, you
are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment.
The AVR 430 has a wide range of features and
options that accommodate virtually any combination
of speakers, room size and program sources. It is
as easy to operate as it is to set up, but in order to
take maximum advantage of the many advanced
technologies within your new AVR, it is strongly
recommended that you take a few minutes to read
this owner’s manual.
If you have any questions about this product, its instal-
lation or its operation, we recommend that you contact
your dealer or installer, as they are your best source
of local information. You may also access a wealth of
information and assistance by visiting our Web site
at www.harmankardon.com.
Description and Features
The AVR 430 is designed to serve as the true hub of
your home entertainment system, providing a variety
of listening options. When playing movies or other pro-
gramming from digital formats such as DVD or HDTV
the AVR decodes Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX,
DTS
®
and DTS-ES.
®
Two-channel stereo and matrix
surround sources benefit from all current Dolby Pro
Logic* II modes and DTS Neo:6.
®
A Harman Kardon
exclusive in A/V receivers is the latest version of
Logic 7
®
to create a wider, more enveloping sound
field and more defined surround channel positioning
regardless of the type of source material. Additional
processing options include MP3 decoding when
connected to a compatible computer.
Although the AVR 430’s primary use will be in multi-
channel systems, advanced technology is at work even
when only two speakers are used. Dolby Virtual
Speaker and Harman International’s proprietary VMAx
®
are both available to create enveloping sound fields
from front left and right speakers, and the latest Dolby
Headphone circuitry creates an amazing sense of
openness with headphones. Two-channel listening with
analog sources is available with full bass management
or in a traditional “bypass” mode that creates a straight
signal path from the gain stage to the volume control.
Along with the many listening options, the AVR 430
offers numerous settings that let you custom tailor the
system. A Quadruple Crossover bass management
system configures each speaker group for a different
crossover setting, while the assignable wide bandwidth
component video inputs may be linked to any video
source. To further enhance the viewing experience with
digital video sources or advanced digital video dis-
plays, the AVR 430’s A/V Sync Delay feature allows
you to compensate for the loss of lip sync common in
many processing systems by delaying the audio signal
independently for each input. An advanced version of
Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet remote completes
the package, making it easier than ever to set system
output levels and to program the remote to operate
virtually any program source.
The AVR 430’s multizone options and a standard
Zone II remote control make it possible to listen to a
separate source in one room while the main home
theater uses a different source. Using the assignable
rear surround channel amplifiers, you may create a
basic remote listening zone without any additional
equipment. The unit’s Multiroom outputs may also be
used to feed an optional, external power amplifier and
volume control. For one-wire multiroom connectivity,
the AVR 430 is A-BUS Ready,
®
requiring only a single
Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote module
to power remote speakers while controlling volume
and enabling full control over the program source and
compatible IR-controlled devices.
The AVR 430’s seven-channel amplifier is our time-
honored high-current, ultrawide bandwidth design with
the power to reproduce the loudest crescendos or
cinema sound effects while remaining virtually free
from distortion or system noise.
Combining state-of-the-art circuitry, digital technology
and proven performance with an elegant design that is
compatible with the latest source components and
video displays, the AVR 430 represents the culmina-
tion of Harman Kardon’s fifty-year history of delivering
the finest sonic performance.
