INTRODUCTION3 Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 3000 you are about to begin many years of lis- tening enjoyment. The AVR 3000 has been cus- tom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance of musical selections. With onboard Dolby* Digital and DTS †decoding, the AVR 3000 deliv- ers six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital sound tracks from the latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television broadcasts. While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR 3000 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections, programmable remote control, and on-screen menus make the AVR 3000 easy to use. To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to take the time to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to speakers, source playback units and other external devices are made prop- erly. 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 3000 is able to deliver. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your dealer. He is your best local source of informa- tion. Description and Features The AVR 3000 is among the most versatile and multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo- rating a wide range of listening options. In addi- tion to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digi- tal sources, a broad choice of analog surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVRs own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic*, Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes, only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7 ®to create a wider, more enveloping field environ- ment and more defined fly-overs and pans. Finally, the AVR 3000 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. 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. In addition to providing a wide range of listening options, the AVR 3000 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speak- ers and specific listening-room environment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter set- tings for speakers, inputs and delay times, while our exclusive EzSet™ remote measures a sys- tems sound levels and automatically calibrates them for perfectly balanced soundfield presenta- tion. For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 3000 fea- tures connections for five video devices, all with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two addi- tional audio inputs are available, and a total of six digital inputs make the AVR 3000 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. Coax and optical digital outputs are 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 3000 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomor- rows new formats right on board.The AVR 3000s 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 receiv- er more than forty-seven years ago. With state- of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 3000 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon in its price range.
