  • Page 4 At Harman Kardon, we believe that good design consists of essential elements presented in their purest form, with an absence of excess or embellishment. We could go on and on about this, but that would be icing on the cake. We don’t do icing.
  • Page 6: Digital Media Centers

    / DIGITAL MEDIA CENTERS It has long been a dream to create a media server that works like an entertainment device, not a computer. This ideal player would be conversant in a universe of digital storage technologies and formats, serving as the one go-to device to finally bridge the gaping DVD/CD/music system/cell phone/camera divide.
  • Page 7 Smaller but vastly smarter and better looking than your average CD storage rack, the DMC 1000 will digitize, catalogue and store as many as 60,000 songs as you play them, allowing you to banish all those aging jewel cases to the attic. It will also let you distribute four separate audio streams from your music library to different locations in your home.
  • Page 8 TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY Harman Kardon was delivering high bandwidth before most people realized it was a good thing. Technology leaders can only lead by example, and we’ve been setting a series of very good examples for more than 50 years. Many of the technologies found in today’s finest amplifiers were introduced by Harman Kardon.
  • Page 10: Audio/Video Receivers

    A maximum number of options, a minimum number of buttons. Harman Kardon A/V receivers employ the industry’s most advanced technologies to optimize the audio and video clarity of any entertainment source, old or new. Yet even certified technophobes will discover – once they stop trembling – that they can operate them successfully.

Think of it as an investment in your existing video library. The AVR 247 is the most affordable Harman Kardon receiver to upscale incoming video signals to the high-resolution 720p standard.

  • Page 15 The Bridge changes that. It’s a universal iPod dock that connects directly to most Harman Kardon A/V receivers and the DMC 1000. And you can control it with the AVR or DMC remote, guided by on-screen or front-panel menus that you can read from across the room.
  • Page 16 HISTORY In 1953, Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon formed a company to introduce a highly sensitive FM tuner that was a revelation at the time. The following year, they combined their superior tuner with a superior amplifier, creating an unheard-of device, which they called a receiver. In...
  • Page 18: Stereo Receivers

    Not everyone’s a movie buff. Some people care more about Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto than whatever Rosebud turned out to be. For them, and for music purists of all other persuasions, Harman Kardon keeps the audio faith by offering a choice of powerful stereo receivers engineered by and for people who, if given a choice, would prefer to be entertained with their eyes closed.

  • Page 22 HISTORY We didn’t start with a business plan in 1953; we started with a product. We weren’t looking to find a marketing niche for ourselves; we were looking to build audio components that satisfied our own passion for music. We built our very first systems for ourselves and a handful of others who could hear what we heard.
