INTRODUCTION 3 INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon ®!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 130 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR 130 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. Dolby *Digital and DTS ® decoding allows you to take advantage of digital soundtracks from the latest DVD releases and Digital Television broadcasts. While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR 130 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections and a programmable remote control make the AVR 130 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 con- nections 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 130 is able to deliver. If you have any questions about this product, its instal- lation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. They are your best local sources of information. Description and Features The AVR 130 is a versatile and multifeatured A/V receiver, incorporating a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS 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 AVR 130s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic *II decoding tech- nology, 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 feature exclusive to Harman Kardon receivers is VMAx, ® which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available. In addition to providing a wide range of listening options, the AVR 130 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment. A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital processor to preserve all of the subtleties of older analog, two-channel materials, while bass management, available in the surround and Stereo-Digital modes, improves your ability to tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or taste. For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 130 features connections for four video devices, all with both com- posite 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 130 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. Coax and optical digital audio outputs are also available for direct connection to digital recorders. A video recording output and a six-channel input make the AVR 130 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrows new formats right on board. The AVR 130s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon high-current, ultrawide bandwidth design technologies. Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art circuitry and time- honored circuit designs, the AVR 130 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon. ■Onboard Dolby* Digital and DTS ®*Decoding Using Cirrus ®Chip Technology ■Harman Kardons Exclusive Logic 7 ®and VMAx ®Modes ■Dolby Laboratories Pro Logic* II Processing Technology ■Stereo-Direct Mode forTwo-Channel Sources Bypasses DSP Processing to Preserve the Integrity of Analog Materials ■Stereo-Digital Mode for Programmable Bass Management of Low Frequencies Between Main Speakers and Subwoofer ■Front-Panel Digital Inputs for Easy Connection to Portable Digital Devices and Video Game Consoles ■Multiple Digital Inputs and Outputs ■6-Channel Direct Input for Use With DVD- Audio or SACD Players and Other Products With Internal Surround Decoders ■Color-Coded Input, Output and Speaker Terminals Comply With CEA Standards for Easy Installation CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back).
