Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 645
you are about to begin many years of listening
enjoyment.
The AVR 645 has the most extensive range of
audio and video processing, control and connec-
tivity options ever offered by Harman Kardon,
enabling it to provide the best possible audio
and video reproduction with any type of source
material. Teaming advanced processing circuitry
with proprietary technologies such as EzSet/EQ,
the AVR 645 seamlessly integrates every compo-
nent in your entertainment system to deliver the
best possible sound and images.
Some of the leading-edge features that are
available with the AVR 645, such as HDMI
connectivity, are new to even the most experi-
enced home theater enthusiast.
To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your
new receiver, we urge you to read this manual.
A few minutes spent learning the functions of
the various controls will enable you to take
advantage of all the power the AVR 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 645 serves as the hub of your home
entertainment system, providing a wide range of
listening possibilities for almost any audio or
video program source, whether it is the broad-
cast of a movie or sporting event in HDTV or a
vintage mono or stereo recording. When playing
digital audio sources from either the convention-
al optical and coaxial inputs, or through the
HDMI 1.1 compliant connections, the AVR 645
decodes Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS and
DTS-ES data streams. Two-channel stereo and
matrix surround sources benefit from all current
Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes and DTS Neo:6. The
latest version of our proprietary Logic 7
®
process
is on-board to create a wider, more enveloping
sound field and more defined surround channel
positioning, regardless of the type of source
material. Additional audio playback and
processing options include a direct connection to
compatible computer-based sources through a
direct USB connection.
The AVR 645 takes the “video” part of its name
seriously. Along with two HDMI inputs and three
100MHz analog component video inputs, the
AVR 645 converts incoming analog signals to an
HDMI output or converts composite and S-video
to component for single wire connections. Tying
audio and video together, the AVR 645 provides
A/V sync delay so that the lip sync errors – com-
monly seen when digital video processing is used
in a source, program or video display – are
eliminated.
Coax and optical digital outputs are available for
direct connection to digital recorders, and both
the front panel analog audio/video and coaxial
digital jacks may be switched to outputs for use
with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon
exclusive. Two video recording outputs, preamp-
out and a color-coded eight-channel input make
the AVR virtually future-proof, with everything
needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new for-
mats right on board.
The AVR 645’s flexibility and power extend
beyond your main home theater or listening
room. The AVR includes a sophisticated multi-
zone control system that allows you to select
one source for use in the main room and a
different one (Audio) in a second room.
Complete control over volume is possible with a
separate infrared control link. To make it easy to
operate the AVR from a remote room, a separate
“ZR 10” remote is included.
Additional multiroom options include the option
to assign two of the AVR’s output channels to the
multiroom system and the ability to link the AVR
to innovative A-BUS
®
keypads for multiroom oper-
ation without the need for external amplifiers.
The AVR 645’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 fifty years ago. With
state-of-
the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs,
the AVR is the perfect combina
tion of the latest in
digital audio technology, a
quiet yet powerful
analog amplifier in an
elegant, easy-to-use
package.
