INTRODUCTION

You are now the owner of an instrument unique in concept and design.
The Harman/Kardon Model 100+ multichannel receiver encompasses the best
of all forms of music reproduction. It may be installed as a stereophonic re-
ceiver capable of delivering cleon, articulate sound at moderate power levels,
or as a quadriphonic receiver that can fill your listening room with spacious,
three dimensional sound.

When you listen to your new Harmon/Kardon multichannel receiver you
will instantly recognize that something truly phenomenal is taking place. The
sound, which normally emerges from the speaker boxes, will lose its boundaries
and will emanate from all over the room recreating the scope, depth and
breadth of the concert hall. The walls of your listening room will seem to dis-
appear and you will find yourself surrounded by a sound field that has the
same ambience and spaciousness which marks a live performance. Stere0<
phonic balance and perspective will be retained, but now there will be the
addition of depth which will protect you into the middle of the hall. Applause,
for example, will emerge from the front, sides and rear. And during playback

of a live concert don't be too startled if you hear someone coughing or rustling
his program from behind you.

The 4-Channel medium is even more dramatic for contemporary music, espe-
cially if the music was originally written for four channel reproduction. Sounds
bounce back and forth from the corners of the room involving you completely
with the performance. It's a new and exhilarating kind of sound that will make
listening to music a new experience.

The Model 100+ bears the heritage of the Harman/Kardon trademark-
ultrawideband frequency response, virtually unmeasurable distortion and all at
the required conveniences so essential for the ultimate enjoyment of high
fidelity reproduction.

We urge you to read this manual carefully prior to installing and operat-
ing your receiver. The Model 100+ is not a complicated instrument. How-
ever, there are certain aspects of its operation which should be understood
clearly before you install and operate it.

Happy listening!
