Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 140 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. In addition to the traditional 5.1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital and DTS, it offers the latest advancements in surround technology such as Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx, the full suite of DTS-ES 6.1 modes, DTS Neo:6 and the latest 7.1 channel versions of Harman's own Logic 7 technology. The AVR 140 has been engineered so that it is easy to take advantage of all the power of its digital technology. On-screen menus, fully color coded connection jacks and terminals make installation fast and simple. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiv- er, we urge you to read this manual. A few min- utes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR 140 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 140 is among the most versatile and multifeatured A/V receivers available, incorporat- ing a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of surround modes for Matrix surround-encoded or Stereo recordings are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVRs own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx, DTS Neo:6, DTS 96/24, Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 Channel or 7 Channel Stereo and Hall and Theater modes, the AVR offers Harman Internationals exclusive Logic 7 process in both 5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined fly-overs and pans. Although the AVR 140s primary use will be in multichannel systems, advanced technology is at work even when only two speakers are used, with Harman Inter- nationals proprietary VMAx ®creating envelop- ing sound fields from front left and right speak- ers only.In addition to providing a wide range of listening options, the AVR 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 features connections for four video devices, all with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two additional audio inputs are available, and a total of six digital inputs and two outputs make the AVR 140 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players, the AVR also features wide-bandwidth, low-crosstalk component video switching. Coax and optical digital outputs are available for direct connection to digital recorders. A video recording output and a color-coded eight-chan- nel input make the AVR 140 virtually future- proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrows new formats right on board. Until now, Harman Kardon AVRs have been able to accommodate almost any source device equipped with line-level analog, optical digital or coaxial digital outputs, including most digital media players.
