INTRODUCTION Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon ® Packed with state-of-the-art features to bring out the best in any audio or video program, the AVR 7300 will be the centerpiece of your home entertainment system for years to come. Thanks to sophisticated tech- nology, the AVR 7300 is able to accommodate virtually any combination of program sources, speakers and room sizes, yet it is easy to set up and operate. In order to take advantage of the power of your new receiver, we strongly recommend that you take a few minutes to read this owners manual and follow the instructions that pertain to the specifics of your listening and viewing environment. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, we recommend that you contact your dealer or installer, as they are your best source of local information. You may also access a wealth of information and assistance by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com. Description and Features The AVR 7300 is the latest in Harman Kardons more than 50-year tradition of flagship products, establishing a new benchmark for audio/video receivers. Along with a power- ful seven-channel amplifier, extensive digital processing and decoding for virtually any surround mode, a wealth of multizone options, upgradeable software and an easy-to- use LCD remote, the AVR 7300 breaks new ground with its built-in video processing using award-winning technology from Faroudja. ® The AVR 7300 offers multiple digital audio inputs for use with the latest program sources, along with standard analog audio inputs that may be used as an automatic fall-back when a digital input stream is interrupted. Of course, 7.1 direct audio inputs are available for use with high-resolution audio sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD, ™while pre- amp outputs and a trigger jack make it easy to add optional, external power amplifiers. On the video side, three assignable 100MHz, wide-bandwidth component video inputs are at your disposal for use with the high-definition products. All five video inputs may also be renamed in the on-screen displays to reflect a product or source device name. Digital and analog outputs make it easy to integrate recorders, with discrete digital outputs and switchable ana- log audio/video jacks ready for connection to portable recorders. The AVR 7300 offers all the latest surround modes from Dolby Laboratories and DTS, including Dolby* Pro Logic* IIxand DTS ®96/24. For installations where less than a full complement of surround speakers is available, the AVR 7300 offers both Dolby Virtual Speaker and Harman Internationals own VMAx ®technology. A Harman Kardon exclusive in receivers is the latest version of our proprietary Logic 7 ®processing, as found in both high-end processors and the premium sound systems in many of the worlds greatest automobiles. Logic 7 creates a wider, more enveloping sound field and more definedchannel positioning from both conventional two-chan- nel and matrix-encoded surround programming. Advanced sound technology even extends to the head- phone jack, where Dolby Headphone circuitry is available to create an amazing sense of openness with head- phones. In recognition of the importance of video in advanced home theater systems, the AVR 7300 offers a wide range of video processing options, thanks to DCDi ™by Faroudja processing, which upsamples incoming composite and S-Video to 480P for simple connections with todays digital ready HDTV displays. A wide range of video pro- cessing options improve video quality, and exclusive to Harman Kardon, these settings may be individually cus- tomized for each video input, rather than applied globally. Closing the loop between audio and video, the AVR 7300 includes an A / V Sync feature to delay the audio for each input so that it is brought back into sync with the picture. The AVR 7300s multizone options and a standard Zone II remote make it easy to extend music and video through- out your home, listening to one source in the main home theater area and a second, separate source in other rooms. Thanks to assignable rear surround channel ampli- fiers, you may create a basic remote room listening zone with only the addition of speakers and some wire. The units multiroom outputs may also be used to feed an external power amplifier. For one-cable connectivity, the AVR 7300 is A-BUS Ready, ®requiring only a single Category 5/5e cable and an optional in-wall module to deliver volume control, remote control capability and amplifier power to two additional rooms. The AVR 7300 routes both video and audio to a remote room, and thanks to the downmix option, you may even send an analog feed to remote rooms, even when the original source is digital audio. Finishing touches for the AVR 7300 include all the extras you expect from a flagship receiver: Harman Kardons patented EzSet remote with an LCD display, an RS-232 port for bi-directional remote control and software upgradeability and much, much more. Combining state-of- the-art digital processing with the proven performance of Harman Kardons high-current, ultrawide bandwidth amplifier design, the AVR 7300 is truly the latest landmark product in Harman Kardons more than 50-year history of delivering the finest in home audio/video products.DCDi ™by Faroudja ®video processing and upscaling customize the video output to match your display for the highest video quality, regardless of the input source.
