3 INTRODUCTION Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 220 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR 220 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 220 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 220 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 220 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 220 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 220 is among the most versatile and multifeatured 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 220s own FM/AM tuner. Along with the latest Dolby Pro Logic ®II decoding technology, 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 Harman Kardon exclusive is VMAx ®, which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available. Finally, the AVR 220 is among the very few A/V receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so that you may listen to the latest music selec- tions 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 220 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 ™remote measures a systems sound levels and automatically cali- brates them for perfectly balanced soundfield presentation. For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 220 fea- tures connections for five video devices, all with both composite 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 220 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 and a six-channel input make the AVR 220 virtually future-proof, with every- thing needed to accommodate tomorrows new formats right on board.The AVR 220s 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 220 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.
