3 INTRODUCTION Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 320 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 320 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new mil- lenium. The AVR 320 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 and our exclusive EzSet ™remote make installation fast and simple. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to read this manual. A few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR 320 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 320 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 Matrix sur- round-encoded or Stereo surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR 320s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, Dolby 3 Stereo, and Hall and Theater modes, the AVR 320 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. 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 320 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 320 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 speaker configurations and bassmanagement, and the EzSet remote measures a systems sound levels and automatically cali- brates them for perfectly balanced sound field presentation. For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 320 fea- tures connections for six 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 320 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players, the AVR320 also features wide-bandwidth, low- crosstalk component video switching. Coax and optical digital outputs are available for direct connection to digital recorders, and the front panel coaxial digital jacks may be switched to outputs for use with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon exclusive. Two video recording outputs, preamp-out jacks, and a color-coded eight-channel input make the AVR 320 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrows new formats right on board. The AVR 320s flexibility and power extend beyond your main home theater or listening room. The AVR 320 includes a sophisticated multizone control system that allows you to select one source for use in the main room and a different one in a second room. Complete control over volume is possible with a separate infrared control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR 320 from a remote room, a separate Zone II remote is included. The AVR 320s 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 circuit designs, the AVR 320 is the perfect combina tion of the latest in digital audio technology, a quiet yet powerful analog amplifier in an elegant, easy-to-use package. ■Dolby* Digital and Dolby Pro Logic* II Decoding, and the full suite of DTS ® modes, including DTS-ES ®6.1 Discrete & Matrix and Neo:6 ®using the latest 24-bit, twin-core Crystal ®DSP engine ■Harman Kardons exclusive Logic 7 ® processing, available for the first time with both 7.1 and 5.1 processing in a variety of modes and two modes of VMAx ® ■MP3 decoding for use with computers and digital audio players ■ remote automatically sets output levels for optimum performance ■High-bandwidth, HDTV-compatible component video switching ■Front panel digital inputs and coax digital output capability for easy connection to portable digital devices and the latest video game consoles ■Multiple digital inputs and outputs ■Front panel coax digital jacks switch- able to outputs for easy connection to portable digital recorders ■On-screen menu and display system ■Complete multizone system with separate Zone II remote included 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.
