3INTRODUCTION Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 210 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR 210 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. With onboard Dolby* Digital and DTS ¨decoding, the AVR 210 delivers six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital soundtracks from the latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television broadcasts. While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR 210 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections, a programmable remote control, and on-screen menus make the AVR 210 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 connections 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 210 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 210 is among the most versatile and multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo- rating a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of analog sur- round modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR 210Õs own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic*, Dolby 3 Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes, only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7 ¨to create a wider, more envelop- ing field environment and more defined fly- overs and pans. Another Harman Kardon exclu- sive is VMAx ¨, which uses proprietary process- ing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are avail- able. Finally, the AVR 210 is among the very few A/V receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so that you may listen to the latest music selections directly from compatible computers or playback devices with the power and fidelity you expect from Harman Kardon.In addition to providing a wide range of listen- ing options, the AVR 210 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environ- ment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter settings for speakers, inputs and delay times, while our exclusive EzSet ªremote measures a systemÔs sound levels and automatically cali- brates them for perfectly balanced soundfield presentation. For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 210 fea- tures 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 make the AVR 210 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. Coax and optical digital outputs are also available for direct connection to digital recorders. Two video recording outputs, preamp outputs for use with external power amplifiers, and a six channel input make the AVR 210 vir- tually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrowÕs new formats right on board.The AVR 210Õs 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 forty-seven years ago. With state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored cir- cuit designs, the AVR 210 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.nOnboard Dolby Digital and DTS Decoding Using Crystal ¨Chip Technology nHarman KardonÕs Exclusive Logic 7 and VMAx Modes nMP3 Decoding for Use With Computers and Digital Audio Players nRemote Automatically Sets Output Levels for Optimum Performance nFront Panel Digital Inputs for Easy Connection to Portable Digital Devices and the Latest Video Game Consoles nMultiple Digital Inputs and Outputs nOn-Screen Menu and Display System n6-Channel Direct Input and Preamp Outputs for Easy Expansion and Use With Future Audio Formats TM CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
